Announced For
Suqarcane Work

The u. S. Department of Agri-
culture has announced minimum
wage rates to be paid for harvest
ing the 1916 sugarcane crop in
Louisiana by growers who apply
for payment under the Sugar Act
of 1887 as amended.
The basic rate for adult male
workers for cutting sugarcane on
a time basis is $40 per day. This
is an increase of Is cents per day
over the 1915 minimum rate. Day
rates for other operations provide
for a similar increase Lowest
minimum rate for any adult work
er is fixed at $2.70 per day. Piece
rates have been adjusted to correct
apparent past inequalities. Cores
ponding changes in minimum rates
for. non-harvest work in 1947 were
announced in February.
The Sugar Act requires, among
other conditions of payment to
growers, that all persons employed
on a farm in the production, cul-
tivation, or harvesting of sugar
cane be paid in full by growers al
rates not less than those determin-
ed to be fair and reasonable after
public hearing and investigation

Agricultural
Specialists
AT USDA Meet

T. NJ Campbell and John w.
Mitchell, field agents of Extension
Service, and DR.. J. r. Otis, State
leader of Negro Extension work in
Alabama, were in attendance at
the annual agricultural Outlook
Conference here il the Jefferson
auditorium of the u S. Department
Of Agriculture, October TIP.
Secretary of Agriculture Clinton
p. Anderson opened the conference
with an address-"The First Years
of Peace" Emphasizing the con-
sumner aspects of agriculture, he
said:
Our accent in the coming years
must be on distribution-on getting
increasing agricultural production
to the people who can consume it.
We should not neglect a single pos
sible approach-raising the nutri-
tional level of the population, in
dastrial uses Of agricalt,nfal pro-
ducts, Developments of foreign
markets. and many others. These
things, in turn, mean working con-
stantly for full employment here
at home and for prosperous
world.
''The recent Congress gave us a
tremendously important tool with
which to launch this drive toward
full distribution when it enacted
the Agricultural Research and
Marketing Service Act The
National School Lunch Act is an
other enactment of the recent Con-
gress which fits into this accent
on wider distribution"

Acclaim Farmer
For Balanced
Il arm Program

Dave King, colored farmer of
Cass County, Texas, has been ac-
claimed for his balanced farming
program by The Extensioner, Of
ficial publication of Texas Exten-
sion Service.
In its lead article, written by the
editor, Miss Laura Lane, the pub
LEGATION features the farming
achievements of Mr. King in one of
its recent issues.
Carrying out diversified pro-
gram, Mr. King has several sources
of income on his 81 acre farm:
liberia peaches, pigs. calves, white
potatoes, cotton, purple hull beans,
Watermelons, cucumbers certified
Puerto Rico sweetpotato slips, SUI
garcane and sorghum Every year
he makes between 800 and 400 gal
Ions of syrup and says he's the
best syrup maker in his county.
The article points out that Mr..
King believes in phosphate and
winter legunes. This year, most of
his white potato crop-one of his
principal cash crops followed
vetch which had been phosphated
and turned under. Without the
vetch and phosphate, he says, it is
extremely likely that his potato
crop would have been a failure.
Mr.. King also believes in keep
ing records and in maintaining his
home and farm buildings anG
fences in good repair. When hogs
are killed he weighs them and ap-
portion his meat supply to his fam
