,(ANP) = The 100 Santa Fe rail

counsel, victors in the recent state
supreme court decision outlaWing

discrimination, were preparing for
full union affiliation.
The group, which began the fight
to get full-fledged membership in
the Brotherhood of Railway Car
Men, an AFL union instead of the
separate or auxiliary union status
offered them as Negro workers,
said they felt we'll paid for the two
year fight they waged. They ex-
pressed the hope that the case
would set a precedent for other
sections of the country.
The supreme court decision, re-
versing a lower Wyandotte county

principle Of the Railway Labor

tory representative of a classified
craft or group the duty to protect
equally the interests of those whom
it represents and not to discrimi

NEW YORK, June 25 (ANP)-
Miss Ruth Marie Thomas, asso-

A native New Yorker, Miss

this state. She holds membership

Education by radio, and the Asso-
citation for the Study of Negro Life

modernist, critics said.
"The old Negroes work was too
rare and remarkable to be tampered
with" Shannon told his white
friends. "Bill had never been in
fluenced by anything outside his
own feelings. It would have been
wrong to show him a single picture
which might have influenced him.
Shannon was instrumental in
having the ex-slave's paintings ex
hibited along with his big mural of
Uncle Bill at work in his street
corner studio. The white artist is
planning to have a formal exhibi-
ton of the aged artists paintings,
but Uncle Bill has unfortunately
lost a leg since the first public
showing of his works and it is
doubtful if he will live to see his
pictures exhibited again. He con-
tinues to reproduce primitive Afri-
can art in goth century Alabama
to the amazement of critics but his
mind seems lost in memories of his
youthful plantation years.

Ex-5LAvE'S PREHISTORIC
ART AMAzE5 CRITICS

MONTGOMERY, Ala, June 25
(ANP)-America's art critics are
still expressing amazement at the
pre- historic art of 92-year old Bill
Traylor, who lives here with one of
his daughters.
Untouched by formal education,
"Uncle Bill" as he is known, was
born a slave on the plantation of
George Traylor in the backlands of
this state near Benton and never
started drawing until six years ago.
He worked his farmland until that
time as means of rearing his 25
children, but drifted into this city
after the death of his wife and the
old white people he knew.
Before taking to art, he worked
in shoe factory here until rheuma
tism compelled him to quit his job
and sell pencils on the street. His
pencils gave out. He began to
wander around town, sleeping on
a bundle of gray rags, until he de
cided on an abandoned doorway as
a permanent home. That doorway
became his first studio.
He began to make odd sketchings
on bits of paper and cardboard,
which passersby kicked his way.
He drew dogs, cats, horses, people.
His figures were frequently dabbed
in the gaudy colors of paint he
would find here and there, and they
appeared as unearthly creatures.
Women were often painted green
faced, dogs a flaming red and trees
a brilliant yellow.
First public attention to Uncle
Bills art came through Charles
Shannon, white winner of two
Rosenwald fellowships for painting
southern scenes, who associated the
art with pre- historic African cave
art. His designs were as lyrical as
those of Pablo Picasso, the Spanish

corn acreage planted at this date in
Holmes county is distressingly short.
With normal yileds, the acreage
now planted would not furnish
every family in the county more
than SO or go bushels each. The
county normally plants 10000 acres
to this crop and doubt if more than
5000 acres have been planted. This
is going to make it necessary to
plant a great deal of late corn. My
suggestion is that the Laguna vari-
ETY. be used, if the seed can be OBJ
tanned. Plant in the water furrow
and put your fertilizer down before
planting. If we have dry weather
from now on, very little good would
result from using fertilizer as side
dresser. Remember the old saying,
1.-The corn crop is usually made be-
fore it is planted"
The farmer who produces some
corn will be in a position to produce
some meat. 1t is very doubtful If
anyone viii be able to purchase his
meat requirements next winter.

BY I. w. Corson

The wet weather and grass has
so completely absorbed the time anc
attention of farmers during the las
week or so, that nothing has beer
said about boil weevil infestation
Nevertheless, l was talking to /;
farmer this week and he told m,
practically every square on some ole
cotton he had were punctured ane
some of his late cotton showed buc
injury from this insect.
OF course it is unpredictable as
to whether we will have rainy
weather during July and early
August and plent of boil weevils, or
if the rains will stop pretty soon
and give us some hot weather dur
ing the time our cotton is putting
on a crop. In the case of the latter,
we will not need to fight the weevil,
but it will be necessary to do some
thing about this pest if rainy
weather continues through the sea-
son.
The farmers who poisoned last
year using nicotine calcium arsenate
mixture for their first application,
straight calcium arsenate five days
later and the third application five
days later with nicotine-calcium
arsenate again, increased cotton
yields profitably. Nicotine has been
added to this poison for the purpose
of controlling lice.
1t will be remembered in 1941
that many of our farmers poisoned
with straight calcium arsenate and
no increased production was secured
simply because the lice did more
harm possibly than the weevils
would have, If poisoning had not
been done.
The point is, it may be good in
surance to store up sufficient
amount of poison to treat your cot
ton acreage this summer in case it
becomes necessary.
It is surprising how quickly so
many things we need have become
scarce in the last 80 days. 1t makes
one wonder just what the situation
will be 80, 60, or 80 days from now.
The other day in a farmers COM
mittee meeting, the different scarce
necessary items farmers need were
named. Their list was something
like this: Farm implements and
machinery, transportation equip
ment, grain feeds, and the follow
ing food: Meat, lard, syrup, sugar,
flour, rice, meal and other staple
groceries. This committee was not
trying to name all of the articles
that are scarce, it was only naming
few of the necessary ones.

Nesnith Says
Farmers Could
Borrow More

Reporting on the results OF a
national survey of bank lending IN
1915 by the Agricultural Commits
sion of the American Bankers AS
ISOLATION. B. L. Nesmith, cashier
of the LEGAL Waccamaw Bank, said
that in North Carolina it shows
that farmers use only a tenth OF
the bank credit available to them.
The 2OS banks in the state which
serve agriculture made 93,185 loans
to 63,398 farmers last year for a
total amount of s37,465,O0O. On
January /, 1916, these banks had
farm loans outstanding OF Slo,-
S72, 900. On the same date these
banks had $217,120,O0O additional
for agricultural loans had the far
mers needed it.
That the credit extended by the
banks to their farm customers is a
useful tool of agriculture is shown
by a breakdown of these overall
figures, he added. Last year 55,222
farmers procured farm production
loans in an aggregate amount OF
S25, 697 900. Farm real estate loans
we're made to 1869 farmers for a
total of S11,324,OO0. On January
/, 1916, there were outstanding IN
the banks S4,S21, 900 in production
loans and S11,1S6,000 in long-term
farm real estate loans. Loans on
crops in storage insured by the
Community Credit Corporation
were made by the banks to only
5O7 farmers for a total of only
S444,O0O, considerable reduction
from the sums loaned in previous
years when price-support levels
were higher in relation to market
values. A total of S1,865,0OO in
C.C.C. loans remained outstanding
at the beginning of this year.
"The fact that North Carolina
farmers have found it necessary to
use only a small part of the bank
credit available to them indicates
that they are in far stronger fl
nancial position today than they
have been for many years, Mr..
NeSmith said.
During the war years farm IN
comes have been high and farmers
have wisely used their earnings to
pay down debt and accumulate
savings in War Bonds and Bank
accounts
