Soybeans Help Produce
Weapons For Fighting

Every farmer in Holmes county who
grows s~oybeans for oil in 1914 will be
helping to produce plenty Of anti-tank
shells, pistol grips, flying fortress parts,
paint for battleships, soap, cooking oil,
high protein feed, and synthetic rubber.
All of these products, says E. R. Trot-
man, county AAA administrative officer,
are made from soybeans.
That is why achievement Of 1914 soy
bean goals are SO important, Mr.. Trot-
han said. Every bushel Of ~soybeans
produced will make enough glycerin to
fire 20 anti-tank shells, every so bushels
will make enough paint to cover a de-
stroyer, every 100 bushels will make
enough cooking oil to supply $50 SOL
diers six weeks.
Soybeans, rich in protein, are used in
the Army't Type X ration, in SOUP mix
lures. %flours, and other foods for our
fighting allies. So farmers are asked
to grow all of the soybeans they can in
1914.
Farmers who have land adapted to
production of soybeans, who have a COM
bine or access to a combine and the
necessary labor, should remember that
soybeans are a war crop and should in
clude them in their farming plans, Mr..
Trotman said.

Dungee Outlines New
Business League Plan

MEMPHIS-(A N p - Roscoe
Dunjee, president of the National
Negro Business league, outlined a
evolutionary expansion plan TO
its Steering Committee during
recent meeting here Dunjee, edi-
tor of the Oklahoma Black Dis
patch, urged the Committee to
adopt new plans that will enable
the organization to serve the Me-
gro more effectively.
Humanity is the slave OF habit.
Dunjee said. During discussion of
the plan outlined here | am sure
there may be spirited criticism re-
speeding reyaInpil4g and replanning
our budget, and the program OF
work outlined Nevertheless, ] have
decided III my own mind that in
1914 the league should recognize
that there perhaps is more merit In
the criticism thai has been made
Of the league in newspapers, and
by certain groups of business men
over the nation, who today do not
identify themselves in any way
with our organization. The cial-
lenge Is to do something about 1t.
We must face-not burning
issues relating to the Negroes eco
nomic and business structure with
in the confines of the United
States"
Dunjee pointed out ny sugges-
tons that the league needed
new program, more league branch
eS, and presented a detailed plan
for future organization. The Nat
ional Negro Buoiness League can
serve newspapers and insurance
companies, he. said, by supplying
them with vital statistics about
Negroes. Dunjee brought the ques-
ton of the NNPL's interest in the
Negroes purchasing power and la
beled him as ''the sorth's economic
opportunity No. l."
The league should be conscious
of middle class thinking. rather
than tendency to think il. the
terms of the rich, he reminded
them, also bringing to their at
tention the need to think in terms
of word economy.
Covering the whole picture of
Negro business, the Oklahoma
Black Dispatch said in an editorial
that "the National Negro Business
league if effective is going to have
to become interested in patterning
Negro education. The league must
prepare to offer the same service
to black life that the white cham
Der of commerce offers to white
life. We cannot expect industry to
