I Now the attack is centered on
destroying distinction as a so
cial institution.
Only last May the name of the
white settlers federation was
changed 10 avoid any, sugges-
tion of racialism. Native Afri-
cans are being urged to join. In
effect, the federation is link
ing two races in partnership.
But bright as the light in the
Belgian Congo is, it has failed
to penetrate other sections Of
darkest Africa. These forward
steps would be worthy of at

from this movement, which has
passed from experiment into
reality.
In our own United States there
are still-as in Africa-unlight-

Africa was known long ago as
the Dark Continent. Those
that have the gall to think that
Is true now had better wake up.
A marvellous racial about race of
black people in Africa has set
the whole world ablaze. These
amazing facts have been SIM
mering for many years toward
realities which pro-

Irrigation Interests
Farmers of Maryland

Maryland farmers, in this dry
summer of 1858, particularly, are
perking up their interest in irriga-
ton systems, according to a con
clusion drawn by the Committee
for Conservation Now after a state
wide check on Irrigation interest,
use and problems"
The committee noted that Mary
land usually has a critical" dry
spell during the summer more
often than not.
With an average of AZ inches of
rainfall annually, Maryland would
not appear to need irrigation" a
report of the Committee said, but
critical dry periods occur during
the growing season in about eight
years out of ten
The committee said after its
study that irrigation needs to be
tailored to the crop, the acreage to
be irrigated, water supply, labor
supply and financial resources of
the farm"
1t said irrigation has stepped up
yields as much as so percent in
Maryland when properly designed
and handled.
In addition to increasing yields,
the committee said irrigation pro
vides drought insurance, improves
quality and makes possible timing
of vegetable crops for best market
ing periods" In Maryland at least
100 farms are using irrigation sys-
TENS over several thousand acres
this year One system was put into
use in Garrett county last year.
Whether or not the experiments
with cold weather crops would in
crease the number in use in Gar
rett county could not be determined
Immediately. Costs of irrigation
systems vary considerably. Some
systems are being installed in the
state for as low as $50 per irrigated
acre, but the report said they usual
ly cost between SIS and $3.50 per
acre The systems are portable.

Renamed State Chairman
For March of Dimes

Former U. S. Senator George L.
Radcliffe has been re-appointed as
State Chairman of the 1854 March
of Dimes. The announcement was
made by Basil O'Connor, president
of the National Foundation for In
fantile Paralysis.
Mr.. Radcliffe has served as State
Chairman since 1888.
Following a Maryland report
which showed that $257,808 had
been spent as of December 81, 1852,
Mr. Radcliffe revealed that since
January /, 1858, the National Foun-
dation has spent S4,392,911 for polio
emergency aid.
This is S1,750912 more than was
expended in the same period in
1852, which saw the worst national
polio epidemic on record. Emer-
gency funds have been sent to 518
chapters in Al states and Alaska,
Mr.. Radcliffe said. This is a nation
al increase of IL percent in polio
cases during the first six months
of 1858: 4,68O cases as against 4,176
at this time last year.
