Negro School Lunch
Room Gets Sl225-

LITTLE ROCK, April 9.-(AN
P)-The special budget commit
tee of the Greater Little Rock
Community Chest and council,
meeting last week in Hotel Marion
voted a 1925 emergency appro-
priation for the city's Negro
school lunch program for the re-
mainder of the year. This assis-
lance was given because the Ne
gro schools were declared ineligi-
BILE for federal and state aid for
lunches.
The ineligibility was said to
have be n the result of schools
requesting assistance after funds
for the year had been allocated
and also because six schools did
not have adequate faciliti s re-
quired for participation in the
program.
The committee also voted to set
up a special committee to assist
the city and state board of edu-
cation in providing kitch n facili-
ties to make the schools eligible
for federal aid in the future.

Farmers In Ohio Join
Forces To Conserve Soil

With 90 percent of its counties
now organized or in the process
of forming soil conservation dis
tricts, Ohio is making a practical,
doWn-to-earth attack on land
problems, says Dean L. Rummell
of the College of Agriculture at
Ohio State University.
Recent actions of the State
Soil Conservation committee, of
which Dean Rummell is chair
man, have made it possible for
10 more counties to begin organ
ization Of districts. These coun-
ties are Fulton, Lorain, Mongom-
cry, Van Vert, Pike, Defiance,
Ashtabula, Seneca, Darke and
Preble.
District organization, he de-
clares, enables farmers to join
shoulders with their neighbors
throughout the county, state and
nation in building and maintain
ing soil fertility. Through a dis
trict farmers can request and
receive from the federal soil
conservation Service technical
help on all soil and conservation
problems, plus the full-time
services of farm planner, and
the parttime services of a soil
surveyor and a soil engineer.
Key to effective use of a dis
trict, the dean says, lies in the
following of farm conservation
plan worked out by the farmer
and the soil technician. This plan
shows, field by field and year by
year, the tillage, cropping, drain
age or other construction, and all
other practices needed on that
particular farm.
All soil conservation districts
are non-profit cooperatives, op-
Grated by a local board of five
supervisors. These supervisors
must be landowners in the coun-
ty and are elected by popular
vote of the landowners. Partici-
patton is entirely voluntary, and
the supervisors cannot levy
taxes, make assessments o%create
public debt
1t is this kind of strictly volun-
tary cooperation, initiated and
carried on by the landowners
themselves, without any outside
interference or dictation, that
makes the district method of ap-
proach SO effective and univers-
ally acceptable, Dean Rummell
explains.
Pointing out that soil conserv-

off won't consume coal and fuel
oil; the tracks will require the
use of fewer ties and rails; loco
motive and car maintenance will
be less, and the tracks and ter
minal facilities abandoned will
be gone forever. Reduction in the
use of materials and supplies
will result in railroad purchases
dropping by $27,80O,O00 per year.
The total reduction in railroad
outlay for wages, materials, sup
plies and fuel will thus amount
to $83, ,485,00O.
What does this mean to the
grocer, the merchant, the car
penter, the Steel-maker and the
coal miner?
1t means-$83, ,485,OOO that will
not be spent, food that won't be
bought, clothes that won't be
made, houses that won't be built,
rail that won't be rolled and
coal that won't be mined.
