abroad.
In calling for the end of dis
ordinations, Sen. Lodge said IN
part:
"Our determinations are not only
in conflict with Christian ideals,
but they are a real danger to the
success of our foreign policy"
The former campaign MANAGER
for Dwight d. Eisenhower laid
down a program which he appealed
to Americans to support. He said:
Work for an America that Is
strong militarily, economically. nnd
nolitically: support the United Ma
tions: work to make it stronger;
advance tolerance and human
rights; encourage private Amer
lean activity abroad and hold to
all of suffering humanity the hope

Sen. Lodge said American Tor

what we say when we proclaim to

This is especially important, he
added, with racial and RELIGIOUS
strife prevalent in other nations.
Celebrating on this, the senator

Slave Sell
100000
Pro- erty

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20 - A
provision in the will of a former
slave prohibiting the sale of 49,
acre estate in Seven Corners, Va,
was broken last week when Judge
Paul E. Brown ruled that the prop
erty could be disposed of by the
heirs.
The estate was purchased by
Frederick Foote, ST., SO years ago
for the price of $500. Today the
property located in the hub of
booming Northern Virginia has in
creased in value to 100000.
With the increase in property
value, the taxes levied on the land
also has jumped from $3.50 annu-
ally to $4,000.
Pointing out that they were un-
able to keep up taxes on the pro-
erty, the three heirs appeared in
court recently testifying that over
due tax on the property now am
cunts to more than $4,000 and it
would soon be lost for non payment
of taxes unless they were allowed
to sell some parts Of it.

Like most other Americans, the

Like most other Americans, the
Nations $4,000 colored farmers
are taking stock Of their success
es and failures during 1852 and
setting goals for the new year, say
Field Agents T. M. Campbell and
John w. Mitchell of the y. S.
Department of Agriculture.
On the success side Of the ledger,
say these two agricultural leaders,
is the increased interest in i'm
proved pastures and higher corn
yields. Their figures show that
within the last two years, colored
farmers have developed more than
q quarter Of a million acres of
first rate pastures, and more than
10000 have taken part in 100
Bushel Corn Clubs.
Along with better pastures and
greater corn production, which are
the foundation of livestock farm
ing, has come a series of steps to-
ward increased efficiency of the
farm. These include the use of COW
er crops, more fertilizer, and other
soil and water conservation prac-
tees designed to keep their land
highly productive.
Also, colored farmers, like most
other operators, are planting hy-
brid corn and disease resistant
varieties of other field crOps. and
are carrying out sound insect con-
troll measures. They are increasing
their efficiency, too, say the field
agents by obtaining more tractors
and other modern equipment.
