To Rotary Club

Members of the Jefferson Ro-

having their attention conferred
on youth and its problems by the
son of one of it's members, when
Joe Cutri made an interesting

He brought attention to the

people were thinking and that few
things were available for them
for recreation.
And he pointed out that some
thing should be done about a
place or places for wholesome
recreation and games. 'This
would cut down juvenile delin-

er was introduced by his father.
Rocco Cutri.
William B. Austin, Jr., the first

here have been many cases of
l. good bulls being sacrificed at too
early an age, because some dairymen
dislike to use an older animal, due to
hazards involved in handling. Prop
er housing, proper management and
exercise are the answers to this
problem, says the University of
Illinois Extension Service, in Circu-
lar 46O.
It recommends housing the bull
separately from the herd, and gives
a floor plan for a bull shed. Plenty
of space for exercise is needed, with
a strong fence around the yard.
Careful feeding, to keep the bull in
top condition, without being fat, is
an essential. When feeding legume
hay, a grain mixture of three parts
ground oats and one part wheat bran
is preferred. Other feeding mixtures,
when other roughage is used, are
suggested in the circular.
Young bulls should be kept in
service until their true worth can
be determined, by the milk produc-
ton records of the progeny. Hand
ling the bull is more important as the
age increases and this Illinois circu-
lar can serve as good guide book.

One of the interesting things
about being a dairy farmer is the
fact that you don't have much
chance to get into a rut. Every
changing season brings changes IN
the things a dairy farmer should
be doing.
The annual change over from
supplementary feeding for COWS on
pastureto barn feeding will be TAX
ing place shortly. It is time to start
checking your feed supplies, to
determine whether you have SUI
ficient roughage, silage and grain
to carry your cows through the
winter, in top condition and at top
production.
AS i'm the case of feeding sup
Elementary to pasturine, the
amount of grain to feed your
own herd is determined by ~
kind of rouehaee; (2) breed of
cows; 90 rate OF prooucr1on ana
az protein content of feed mix
ture.
If you need a table which will
show the correct mixture to feed,
based on those four points, sug-
rest YOU write the Extension Serv-
ice, University of Illinois, Urbana,
Ill. and ask for a copy of Circular
5O2.* It has a section on barn feed
ing which will be a valuable aid in
keeping your herds milk volume at
a peak.

NAACP Fails to
Appreciate Press
Gardner Opines
By Dan Gardner

The National Association for
Advancement of Colored People
has emerged as one of the most
powerful of organized public in
strumentS on behalf of the Negro.
Its role is enhanced by the magni-
tude of the task it has set out to
accomplish. Today there are few
Negroes who haven't heard or read
about the NAACP. Thus, its i'm
portance is apparent to everyone.
1t has taken unto itself the active
leadership of this nations 100000
900 Negroes and has also assumed
the responsibility with which such
leadership is naturally endowed.
The recognition this organiza-
ton is receiving from the great
American public; the place it has
carved for itself in the world pic
ture gives it stature, heads and
shoulders above competitors. For
these reasons it is we'll that some
one ask a few questions which the
NAACP could we'll listen to.
Among the several that come to
mind is:
Why Such Eloquent Silence?
Why is the NAACP so ominous-
ly silent on the role the Negro
Press is playing in the broad effort
to fight the cause of the race? Why
is the NAACP so eloquently quiet
in using its power to teach the
Negro support of his own-his
business institutions, his organiza-
tons, both private and public that
are wholesome and progressive in
relation to advancement of the
race? Such questions are not
childish. Instead, they are neces-
sary and should be answered. The
Negro Press is mostly responsible
for the position of respect and
power the NAACP enjoys today.
Much of its financial support
comes from Negro business institu-
lions and Negro business men.
That the Negro Press and Ne
gro Business need plugging" by
the NAACP is beside the point. All
are necessary to the others in
carrying out a common objective,
but Negro Business and the Negro
Press are independent of support
by the NAACP and can exist with
out it as we'll as with it. Bishop
David H. Sims, at the annual con-
ference of the First Episcopal dis
trict of the A. NJ. E. Church at
Providence, R. l., recently de-
clared; in praising the Negro
Press:
at has been indispensable to the
Negro church. Without it the
and other Negro organi-
