In 1914, the family built new
home made of concrete blocks. 1t
sits on a ridge overlooking most OF
their farmland which neighboring
farmers come to look at regularly to
see how they are conserving and
building up their sci.
Farmer Archie IS high il his praise
If those who gave him helping
hand in getting started and are still
aiding him. Special mention is made
Of Son Conservation Service, Exten-
sion Service, the Farmers Home Adj
ministration, and the Production and
Marketing Administration. He uses
his PMA payment largely for terrac-
ing and pasture improvement. He
was the first colored farmer in his
county to construct terraces with a
two-horse turnplow and get them ap-
proved for payment the first year.

r.. Suman of Standard Oil of New
Jersey.
Mr.. Brown continued, in part, any
attempt to record adequately the ac-
compHShment6 of the students and
graduates would be an impossible
task. But it is a fact that their in
fluence is now being felt in every
area of our national life. AS the
New York gathering was hearing
three major speakers, the Fund
launched simultaneous campaigns in
So large cities.
The meeting was chaired by Viii
liam E. Cotter, counsel for Union
Carbide and Carbon Corporation, and
chairman of the Funds 1913 cam

were Carol Brice, Thomas A. Morgan,

list Church, who delivered the invo-
cation.
Americas 100000 Negro pop
ulation represents vast untapped
source of its natural wealth, said
Dean David, as one of the three ma
Tor speakers on the agenda. He added
that @.of all segments of our commu-
nity we have perhaps least achieved
our goal of equality of opportunity
in terms of our Negro population.
Mr.. We'll cited the Fund as 9
successful cooperative endeavor, IN
which people of all races, creed ano
color worked together harmonlously
He insisted that if we are to as
sumo the responsibility of spreading
the principles of democracy in Other
lands we must make them work al
home. by providing equality of OPP
nortunity for our own citizens.

DIR. WEB. Dubois
Speaks At Texas
State University

Notwithstanding series OF
Sunday VeSper programs, DIR. w. E.
B. Dubois, noted educator, and
author spoke to an appreciative audi
ence Sunday, April A, in the Texas
State University auditorium,
Mr. Dubois discussed the Marshall
Plan for relief in Europe. He said
there are four things about the plan
which should be clear: relief of hun
ger and illness and restoration of
nomalcy; industrial rehabilitation and
restoration of economy; investment
while the plan is in operation,
whether or not it is to be a gift or
a fund from which there will be some
returns; and the fight against Com
muniSm.
Most Americans" Dubois pointed
out. do not know what war is. The
United States has had no direct con-
tact with war and does not know
what war means to the people OF the
world, particularly Europe.
1t is impossible to restore the old
order with England's and Holland s
loss of colonies, and with France
trouble with hers, the speaker said.
In speaking on the fight on Commu-
nism. DR.. Dubois said, You can
change what people think with bull
lets. You must break them from a
doctrine you think wrong by showing
the none better One thing that will
not cure it or make it better is a
third World War, the speaker con-
cluded.
Music was furnished by the Uni
versity Singers. under the direction
of Mrs. Thelma o. Bell, with Audrey

acre farm through the assistance OF

supervisor of extension WoKk with
Negro farmers.
Archie and his wife worked thei
88-acre farm one year as sharecrop-
pers and four as renters prior to 1912
They were paying three bales OF cot
ton rent each year to local bank
which had charge Of the eroded and
rundown farm. Then one day a rep
resentative of the bank suggested tina
the Arches buy the farm. They were
told to talk it over with the county
s,nervisor of the Farmers Home Ad-
ministration.
Figuring we had nothing to lose,
I made a visit to the county FHA
office" Archie relates. After dis
cussing the matter with the superv1s

farm. Soon the Aches application
was approved and they were on their
wav to owning their own farm. Io-
dav they are we'll ahead of schedule
in repaying the 4O-year farm purchas

Negro Leaders Hail
Coy Scout Movement
Among Negro Boys

New York-Negro leaders in all
sections of the nation are gratified by
the success the Boy Scouts of Amer
lea is having in attracting Negro boys
md leaders into its ranks.
When the Movement organized its
National InterTacial Committee in
1926 to further the work, there were
SAP Boy Scouts and leaders of the
Negro race active in its ranks. To-
GAY that membership figure has
Crown to l2O,8OO Scouts and adult
leaders.
The Rev. DR.. D. " Jemison, Pres
ident of the National Baptist Conven-
ton, U,SA., Inc, who has been
Watching the progress of Negro boys
in Scouting for Is years says:
1T pleases me to say that the Boy
Scouts achieve methods that help de
velop them into loyal and patriotic
citizens for their country. There
should be an interest aroused to get
the organization organized in each
city. 1t would help us to have more
law-abiding citizens.
Bishop William Alfred Fountain,
Senior Bishop Of the A.M.E. Church
l'-~s Scouting because of the way it
supplements the work of the church
He says:
The Boy Scouts of America is not
IN end in itself, but a means to an
snd in character building, undergrad
inc the home. school and church. 1t
embassies that no boy can grow
ITO the best citizenship without rec
ognizing his Obligation to Cod and his
country. Scouting is the church at
..Jrll in the community life, thus pro-
ducing trained men for leadership in
the church and nation.
c. c. Spaulding, President of the
North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance
company, makes plea for all adults
to aid their Scouts. He says:
If our boys are to have a we'll
rounded life and sound philosophy
to guide them in the future, it is vi
tally necessary for them to have the
training provided by Scouting and to
practice the Scout Oath. Certainly
there is no finer program in existence
for the youth of our nation than the
program Of the Boy Scouts OF Amer
lea. Look around for Scouts-they
need your assistance and encourage
ment. Please lend your influence
and aid to the Boy Scouts in our
community.
Toe Louis, World Heavyweight
Champion, has this good word for
the training available to all boys
through the Boy Scouts:
Z believe in the Boy Scouts l
wish every boy could have Scout
training. Tomorrow's champions :
moral and spiritual as well as physi-
cal champions should come from
Scout-trained men.
IN do my best the boy Scout
way, is a great idea. If, as a Scout
he learns to do his best, he'll natur-
ally grow into a successful man ply
sically strong, mental awake and
morally straight. :.
q say to every boy, BE a Scout.
