| ly known. In order that this can
be accomplished, the necessary
plant elements must first 60 into
solution. However, if the root
hairs are ssheared off or injured
in cultivation, the feeding area
of the plant is not only reduced
but also water intake to stop
plant whiting is proportionately
cut off.
After I talked to Bill somewhat
concerning this practice, he
wanted to know what could be
done about it. 1 suggested that
one alternative may be the
planting of beans in rows from
26 to 80 inches apart.
AS I have gone over some of
the various fields, for instance
Roy Carriers, parts of the bean
field on the development farm,
and various others, I have no.
ticed that the foliage has been so
dense that the bottom leaves of
the plant are beginning to mold
and show the results of fungus
growth. In going over these bean
fields it was often difficult to tell
which way the rows were plant
ed.
SAME FUNGUS GROWTH
If the soil was sufficiently
moist for maximum bean
growth and remains such for a
period of time, in all probability
not only the leaves but the bean
pods which were near the ground
would show the same fungus as
the leaves. Thus the yield might
be materially reduced. The wider
spacing Of the rows would per-
NIT better penetration of SUM-
light, also evener ripening of the
beans, and probably facilitate
irrigation, both by gravity and
sprinkler.
I have mentioned to several of
the bean growers on the Project
that at my home in southern
Idaho where we grow beans
quite extensively, the only time
we received a yield of a bushel
of beans produced for a pound
of seed used was when we plant
ed so pounds Of beans to the
acre.
We thought that If a little was
good, more was better. Therefore,
we proceeded to increase the rate
Of seeding and almost in direct
proportion was our yield reduced.
With a wider spacing Of rows,
less seed could be used, heavier
set per vine could be obtained
due to the increased space pro.
vided, the vine would be larger,
healthier and less likely to sue.

During the past two weeks I
have covered a number of bean
fields on the Project. I tried to
talk to the growers concerning
the practices in cultivating and
watering they have used. There
is one thought that strikes me
quite forcibly concerning the
spacing Of bean rows on the new
land for bean cultivation and
highest crop yield.
Most of the beans on the prof.
ect were planted in rows spaced
from 20 to "a inches apart. Milo

No Negro Has Filed For
City Commission

To date 10 Daytonians have
filed their intention to enter the
city commission primary election
in August. There are three va
cancies to be filled. 1t will be the
best and last (for some time) op-
portunity for a Negro to win a
seat in the city body, yet not one
of the 10 men is a Negro.
The deadline for getting petit
tons in is July 9. Something
over 1000 signatures of registered
voters must be on the petition.
This does not seem many. Tt isn't
as a matter of fact. Nor does
July 9 seem close enough to war
rant grave oncern over the mat
ter of getting on the ballot. So
most of US are just biding the
time away calmly assured that
everything will work out for the
best.

Many brilliant Negro leaders
have been associated with the

1t is so clear and obvious that
one can almost hear a scream for
action NOW. What could be
more self-evident than the follow
ing.
That getting on the ballot is one
thing, but getting elected is an
other.
That the campaign will cost
money which will have to be
raised in a short time.
That ward and precinct workers
have to be modified into an eff
ficient, vote-getting organization.
That strategy will have to be
worked out to combat the newt
abel "smear" the reactionaries
will heap upon whatever Negro
candidate runs for the commission.
That the matter of selecting the
proper candidate still has to be
worked out.
These are just a few of the ov-
erall problems which have to be
solved. There will be many more
cropping up from day to Vday.
They can best be met by a
woodworking organization. In
fact, without an organized cam
paign, Negroes will continue to

THINGS THAT

HOW DO YOU LOOK?
By BESSIE F. BELL

What would really happen to Us
if we believed hat old bromide
that beauty is only skin deep?
If only We will remember that
our well being, our beauty, de-
Ponds wholly upon the food that
we eat. We shall speak Of charm
and personality at times. Did you
ever think enough of what it is ?
What creates charm and person
allty' Or what is the cause for
the Jack of these two all-impor-
tant indefinab1e gifts Of nature?
In plain talk, the answer is
food the right kind Of food. vi
tamins, that we get by eating the
foods that keep our body we'll
nurished.
Vitamimn "a" is, SO to speak
our source of the foundation, to
begin the beauty, charm and per-
scnality building.
Did you ever see a half-starved
undernourished beauty? I am sure
that you never did. The lack of
vitanin "A' food in our diet will
cause flabby skin, blackheads,
rashes and b1otches, or the skin
may become dry and scaly. And
often we are troubled with those
mean little bumps forming on
the skin.
If you do not know the vita
min ''A'' foods, your doctor will
give. you a list Of this beauty
building food. Better know your
vitamins girls if it is looks you
are seeking. For all the cosmetics
in the world cannot give you
beauty and pesonality if you are
lacking the right vitimins in your
diet.
