Meanwhile, as convention time
approaches it was reported that
hotels in Miami may not live up
to promises to accommodate dele
gates to the meeting.
1t had been reported weeks ago
that Miami hotels would open
their doors to the delegates. But
last week church officials learn
ed that the hotels will be able
to take care of only $1,000 Of the
expected 10000 delegates and

.BAPT|STS OPEN MEET WE'D.

Miami hotels have undergone a
change during the past decade.
Formerly gentle Whites owned
them, and Negro patronage was
banned. However, with owner
ship transferring to Jewish per-
sons, Negroes were accepted
When Miss Josephine Baker, in
ternational entertainer, played at
a Miami club some two of three
years ago, colored guests were adj
mitted to the night spot u b
where she appeared.

guests.
Baptists appear to be running
into the same trouble as delegates
to the convention of the Church
of God in Christ. This latter group
met in Miami several months ago
with the understanding that the
hotels would accommodate them.
However, when convention time
arrived, the hotels backed down.
The Church of God delegates had
to obtain housing elsewhere.

DIR. JEMISON
WILL. RETIRE


MIAMI - CAMP - DR.. D. v.
Jemison will not run again for
president of the National Bap-
list Convention, u. S. A., Inc,
which will hold its annual meet
ing Sept. 9-13 in Miami.
That is the latest report on the
intentions of the incumbent head
of the largest Negro church or
ganization in the country.
DR.. Jemison repeatedly has
written several candidates for the
coveted post of his intentions
retire as agreed at the 1852 con-
vention of the group in Chicago.
Many of the leading candi-
dates to succeed DR.. Jernison now
are in Atlantic City resting u
anticipation of the hectic sessions
predicted for the convention.
Now that the aging Jemison re-
portedly has decided not to run.
the field of aspirants to the pres
idency has narrowed to the Rev
J. H. Jackson, pastor Of Olivet
Baptist Church, Chicago; J. c.
Austin, Pilgrim Church, Chicago,
E. w. Perry Of Oklahoma City ,
Sandy Ray eof Brooklyn and J.
Raymond Henderson, Los Ange-
les.
When reports mad Dr.. Jemison
planning to run again, il was said
he merely intended to run and
if elected, retire and turn over the
presidency to Rev. Perry, vice
president of the convention.
However, there seems TO be a
legal technicality in the Baptist
constitution which would prevent
Jemison from doing this. It is saio
that under the laws Of the Bap-
fist Convention, Dr.. Jemison
could automatically put Perry in
his place. It would be necessary
to hold an entire election, neces-
stating the calling Of another
convention.
It is also said that If Jenison
did run again and then retire he
would probably lose the $1,000
gift, $500 a month for life and
expenses paid trips to meetings
of the Baptists promised him on
retiring. SO if he was thinking OF
running and then retiring, the
thought of losing this compensa-
ton probably made him recon
slider running again.
In the wake of reports TIA: the
Baptist leader would run again,
several persons have written him
asking that he reconsider his po-
sition. Among them were Rev.
Henderson who said in part:
"I have noted from newspapers
that you definitely plan to be
candidate TO succeed yourself at
Miami. I am willing to concede
that you have perfect right to
do this, but I hope you will not
be offended if I hasten to advise
you that an act like this will not
be wise; and If the newspapers
are right ! strongly urge you not
to do SO.
1.-THE brethren who have sup
ported you SO strongly through
the years took it for granted that
you meant what you said a. Hot
Springs. and a number Of them,
including myself, have decided TO
definitely run for that office.
This means that not only mas
sentiment been greatly divided
throughout the entire conventicR
in favor of these several candi-
dates, but il also means that these
men have spent considerable
money in fostering their candi-
dacy. It would not go well with
these men if at this late date you
decided to re-enter the race ="
In the meantime, supporters of
the various candidates continued
to work in the interest Of their
aspirants.

When the project was in its infancy.
farmers and business concerns teamed
up to lend them equipment and fer
tilizer dealers gave them seed as well
as fertilizer.
While the boys were raising corn in
1850, Mr.. Beam proved to them the
value of fertilizer. The fertilized plot
gave 80 bushels to an acre while un-
fertilized land yielded only four bushels.
That's the value of having field
project as part of the curriculum" Mr..
Beam points out. MY students can see
first-hand various phases of farming
that can't be learned from a textbook"
The regular farm course consists OF
classroom work, and each pupil has one
or more special home projects. such as
raising chickens, pigs, dairy or beef
cattle, and many others. Mr.. Beam
visits each boys farm to advise and
help him in his work. The youths also
have a school machine shop where they
work on automobiles and farm equip
ment, make farm trailers and chicken
and hog feeders, and learn electric
welding and plumbing

monthly meeting, they agreed that
money from their harvests should go
to short on money students wanting
college degree, educational tourS-and
farm equipment, If the cash goes far
enough.
They have learned to cultivate their
land, how to prepare seed beds and sow
the seed. as we'll as the amount of
fertilizer to use. The boys also take
soil samples and bring them back to
class to analyze. Through these tests.
they learn how to restore any chemical
deficiencies in the soil.
Clarence c. Beam, Herndon's agricul-
ture teacher since February, l948, is
responsible for bringing experimental
field work to the students. When
harvest time comes, say for wheat, he
lets the pupils run the combine and
sell to the highest bidder From the
wheat straw comes additional revenue
in the form of hay.
Last years wheat crop averaged Sta
bushels to the acre." the teacher says
with pride. THE States average was
81 bushels"

tiiqh School Students Make Farming Pay

One of Mr.. Beams prize pupils is IT.
year-old Ben Middleton, who recently
won the FLA Southern Regional Award
for outstanding achievement in dairy
farming. It's the first time Herndon
student has received this honor. Before
winning it, Ben was judged the FFA's
No. State dairy farmer. Total prize
money for both awards was $500.
Ben a senior, has been under Mr..
Beams tutelage since the ninth grade.
He farms in partnership with his father,
w. D. Middleton of FloriS
I've learned lot about grains and
hay" Ben says. "just by working with
our field crops at school,"
During his prior three years in high
school he produced corn, wheat and hay
valued at $6,770 on the home farm.
Now he has full ownership Of four
Holstein cows and l3 heifers and part
nership in 40 producing cows, bull
and SO head of young stock. He values
his cattle at more than $4,000.
Given his first COW when 10, Ben has
built an impressive herd strictly on his
own initiative He's been showing
cattle for five years and has won close
to 20 championships.

TTERNDON HIGH SCHOOLS future
Ill farmers are finding out that by
sowing wheat they may reap college
education.
These enterprising students have
three experimental plots totaling lS
acres, within a mile of the Fairfax
County school. For three years now,
they've rotated crops. having raised
field and sweet corn, pumpkins and
wheat. They're the only pupils in vir-
ginia's 270 high schools Offering voca-
tional agriculture courses who are TAX
ing their classroom work into the fields
and making it pay off, according to
Thomas w. Downing, assistant State
supervisor of vocational agriculture.
The good earth has given them more
than a fund to help the young farmer
through college. Money from their
crops in 1851 went toward 1,50O-mile
educational tour of the South. Last
summer. their harvest was worth
1,7OO-mile round-trip to Canada.

dents make up the local town chapter
