ton to selling price.
Thirty per cent of Fairfax
County farms are using this
method now, and next year
there will be many more"
Mr.. Beard says. He points
out the savings in cost of
farm labor, as well as in
handling the fertilizer.
Next, he stopped to meas
ure the water table of a farm
pond. Mr.. Beard explains:
when I began my work as
agent in this county in 1898,
there were $1,000 people. Now
the population Is estimated
at 10000. Our annual aver
age Of AZ inches of rainfall
has not changed, so springs
and streams are overtaxed-
many are drying up. We are
finding that farm ponds are
the solution. During the last
two years, 200 have been built.
We expect a total of 500 at
the end Of two more years."
Then Mr.. Beard went to
the 78-acre grassland farm
Of c. T. Rice at Oakton. For
the past 10 years, Mr.. Rice
has raised nothing but grass

on this tract for his dairy
herd. It is q demonstration
center which other Fairfax
farmers are encouraged to
visit.
The agent then inspected
a demonstration flock on a
15-acre farm owned by Mrs.
Mildred Covell. A newcomer
In the poultry business, Mrs.
Covell Is proving with her
5000 hens that farmers can
obtain a good income on a
few acres. There are IL dem
onstration flocks in Fairfax
County which he regularly
checks for poultry disease,
management and profit. Other
farmers are encouraged to
visit these flocks to observe
advanced methods of hand
ling chickens.
"AS the taxes increase, Fair
fax farmers are finding they
must increase the returns on
each acre of land" Mr.. Beard
explains. There can be few
unused acres, If they expect
to show a profit for the years
work. Therefore, we are max
ing thorough studies Of the
most efficient use of small
farms"

Activities of a recent day

information received during
the previous day, when he
was making his farm rounds.
A All Club leader dropped

After a brief visit to a local

Role In Drama

Richard A. Ertzman has one Of
the character role In "0ur Town"
as an undertaken who potters
round fixing flowers in the GENE
terry. It's not exactly a "walk-on''
part, but more Of a "stoop- walk .
part since Ertzman keeps kneel-
ing down and getting up again
during his appearance. BY the
time the play is over he win pro.
badly got rid of the ereaks which
haunt him at rehearsal. There's
nothing like setting up exercise
TO elasticize muscles.
The point Is, il takes q good
actor 10 'suit the word 10 the
action. the action to the word"
and Ertzman not only has 10 put
ter, and stoop, but keeps up a
running commentary. His portrait
Of a kindly and sympathetic man
who knows ali about life and
death in the hamlet is really inn
portant since il Is the link be-
tween the second and third acts
and what Richard says connects
the passage Of time and events
that have hsppend before with,
that what is to take place in the

Paul Robeson's Statement On Council

stigma of colonialism and white
supremacy domination. \.
1T is a matter of shame that
at the recent meeting of the U.N.
General Assembly it was our
own country, the United States,
which voted with the European
colonial powers against resolu-
tions in the interest of the peoples
of Africa resolutions whic h
were supported by the majority
of the UN., including India and
the other Asian Middle Eastern
African member states, Poland,
Czechoslovakia, and the Soviet
Union.
"The real issue in our case is
the right of advocacy and support
for the freedom of Africa's en-
slaved Millions including the
descendants of Africa who have
yet to achieve their full liberty
and rights here in the United
States.
"The Council on African Affairs
will continue to carry forward
its work and will fight all efforts
to restrict its usefulness to the
cause of African freedom by
means of the unconstitutional
and un-American McCarran Act"
