FARMER INCREASES INCOME
300 PERCENT BY CONSERVING
AND IMPROVING HIS SOIL

How o. W. Waddleton, Texas col
ored farmer, increased the productive
capacity Of a down-at-the-hee 5O-acre
farm and upped his cash income by
300 percent is told in the October is
sue of Soil Conservation, a u. S. De-
Partment Of Agriculture publication.
The magazine points out that de-
spite long hours at the pillow, Mr..
Middleton found it next to impossible
at first to increase the Yields on the
rundown eroded farm he bought in
1889 through the Federal Land Bank
for $3.50. Even after three years Of
hard work, he had a little to show.
The average income of his farm had
gone up only from $500 to $40 a
year, and that wasn't enough for his
large family.
Then n day a neighbor told him
about Soil Conservation and how this
agency would help him build up and
conserve the fertility of his soil. Farm

visor Of his soil conservation district,
and a technician was semi out to help
him plan a conservation program.
With the aid of conservation tech

saving his soil during the summer Of
1914. Using his own workstock and
the Hopkins-R ains Wood istrict-owned
equipment, he began a system Of ter
races to hold the rain water in check
and stop erosion. Now he has 10000
feet OF terraces and his entire cult
waited area has been seeded at least
once, either to legumes or erosion-con-
troll crops.
BY last year, Farmer Waddleton,s
cotton yield had increased from one

The Common
Defense
Racial and Religious Hatred n the
Church

Racial and Religious Hatred n the
Church
Coming to the fore now is the quee
| ton, How much longer can the Church
regard as members in good standing
those who provoke and agitate for
racial and religious hatred?
Certain it is that notorious evil Nv
ers have always been subject to the
Church's discipline and, SINCE we
know most assurody from the history
of the past decade that the propaga-
ton Of racial and religious hate issues
in widespread human suffering and pro-
duces the most debased kind of char
acter = which is scandalots in the
Church-it is reasonable and right
that haze mongers be declared to be
in a serious state of sin.
The Book of Common Prayer Of the
Episcopal -h. pa {" .n"' a.
IS w4y, If among wIlo come to be
partake.s Of the Holy Communion, the
Minister shall know any to have
done any wrong to his neighbors by
word or deed, so that the Congrega-
ton be thereby offended, he shall
advertise him, that he presume not
to come to the Lords Table, until
ne have openly declared himself to
truly repented and amended his for
mer evil life" Surely the kind OF
hatred TO which We are referring
comes under the category Of having
done wrong to ane's neighbors. For
what greater crimes can be commit
ted against humanity than those which
hatred causes and has already caus-
ed?
So recently as September 81, the
New York-Tribune reported that Arch
bishop Joseph E. Ritter of St. Louis
had said that members of a group
protesting admission Of Negro child
rem into Roman Catholic schools with
white students woHld be excommuni-
Gated automatically if they persist to
seek to bar the Negroes by civil act
ion against the Archbishop"
In a letter read in all parishes Of
the Archdiocese Of St. Louis, the
Archbishop said that the policy Of
admitting Negro children to Catholic
schools with white pupils is one
which we consider our right ard
duty as chief pastor of this Archdio-
cese, regardless of race Or nationality"
For the Church to declare now that
racial and religious hatred is a sin
which will deprive Church members
of the rights and privileges of the
faithful would have its salutary effects
both in the Church and the body poll
tic. 1T will do more to destroy the
age-old crime Of anti Semitism." de.
clared Rabbi William F. Rosenblum.
President Of the Synagogue Council
Of America, than all the polite as
surances Of good will by creed
leaders, 1t would do something else.
1t would put the Church where she
belongs-out in front as the cham
pion Of human rights.

Ahead is the direction in which
Gypsy Markoff is looking, Suggest
to her, at the Balalaika where she
is the star of the seasons first show,
that she must have had a pretty
rough time of it in the past few
years and she shrugs.
"Oh, that's all in the past says
Gypsy, waving her right arm. Wsv-
ing it, that is, as far as she can. Its
restricted movemsnt is one of the
souvenirs of that Clipper crash at
Lisbon several years ago. i can't
even comb my own hair" Gypsy
says, more stating fact than COM
planning. I'm quite a nuisance to
the other girls in the show, what
with making them hook me into
dresses and brush my hair for me-"
Another memento of the crash
carried by Miss Markoff Is a left
hand with two fingers she can't use.
Not being able to hold an accordion
normally with her right hand and
not being able to play the bass the
usual way with her injured left
hand, she has had to develop an
entirely new technique for playing
the instrument.
X r y
Miss Markoff's engagement at the
Balalaika is her second "civilian"
appearance and her first in this
country since she learned all over
again to play the accordion. Just
few weeks ago She completed a
nine week stint at Ciro's in Mexico
City, which she undertook only
after perfecting her new musical
technique during long tour OF
Pacific areas where troops are sta.
toned.
II also played a theater date while
I was in Mexico City," Gypsy was
saying the other night. What ar
experience. The audiences are al.
most as enthusiastic as GI audiences
They cheer and shout ole, ole! the
same way they do at bull fights
I felt like bull in ring.
IT sure miss those GI audiences
though. I guess every performer
who played for them was spoiled by
them. I'd go back and do thai
Pacific tour again, for free, just tt
get that enthusiasm"
Miss Markoff bears no musica
scars. At the Balalaika you will
find her whipping through Rimsky.

all her old fire and verve.
