ing and raised their level of liv-
ing.
Increasingly, Negro farmers are
diversifying cropping programs,
adding poultry, hogs, and cattle,
and developing pastures and build
ing watering and fishing ponds,
and are increasing their yields by
taking better care of their land,
using commercial fertilizer, select
ing better seed and better breeds
Of livestock, and protecting crops
and animals from insects and di-
seases.
Negro farmers are also increas-
ing efficiency and making up for
labor shortage by buying tractors.
Agriculture officials point to
such efficiency as 10-year-old Solo
mon Sanders, of Quincy, Fla, All
Club boy who took first place re-
Gently in the junior division of the
Gadsden County Fair with a Du-
roc pig he bought from Florida
A. & M. University and fattened
into a prize winner, winning out
over both white and colored All
ers;
Or to 42-year-old Theodore Jack
son, of ST. Joseph, La, who is said
to be the best poultry farmer in
his county, collecting as many as
240 dozen eggs a week from his
$50 White Leghorns.
National leaders observe in
creased evidence of better living
which results from quality farm
ing, according to the Agriculture
Dept. on a recent tour of North
Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mis-
sissippi, Arkansas, Missouri, and
Tennessee, better farm homes
which had running water, electric
refrigerators, and other modern
convenienccs, were noted in larger
numbers.
However, not all Negro farmers
are well. Some are failing for u
variety of reasons, says the Agri-
culture Dept. The principal ones
are (D failure to adopt modern
practices, GU slowness in develop
ing pastures and adding livestock,
(3) planting poor varieties of corn
and other crops, ca taking chances
and letting insects and diseases
claim a sizeable share of their
products, and 60 lack of adequate
credit resources to expand their
operations into a sound economic
unit.

Building Industry
Trends
BY w. +. PATTERSON
Director,
Bureau of Apprenticeship,
United States Dept. of Labor

VI
United States Dept. of Labor
From 1913 until October l, 1852,
all of the building trades suffer-
ed decline in the number of APP
prentices in training. Up until the
outbreak of the Korean conflict.
in midsummer of 1850, this decline
in the number of apprentices was
not considered alarming or even
significant. This was because APP
proximately $4,000 apprentices
were being completed into full
Pledged journcymen each year
through apprentice training pro
grams operating within the build
ing industry.
In the period following the Ko-
rean outbreak, however, appren-
ticeship agencies had to devote
major attention to those occupa-
tions that were critical to defense
production. Owing to the fact that
the construction industry had es-
tablished such history making
record in apprenticeship from
1916 on, none of these exceedingly
important construction trades APP
peared on the list of critical trades
in which we were in such short sup
ply.
This is to the everlasting credit
of the international unions in the
construction field and to the con-
tractor organizations.
am afraid, however, that both
labor and management, as a result
OF the outstanding record which
they had made, were somewhat in
clined to believe that the Job in
construction apprenticeship was so
we'll over the hump that they could
rest on their laurelS for while.
The result was a decline in APP
premiership activities.
Fortunately, the leaders OF inter
ii"eiohoi uiiiollS anu COHlIdCLOfS as
Soclatlons are experiencing a re.
awakening of their apprenticeship
responsibilities. Beginning with last
summer, there has been more Joint
action taken than ever before and
more telling blows have been de-
livcred in behalf of apprenticeship
in the construction industry. | cite
a few examples of this renewed
activity:
The National Joint Electrical
Apprenticeship and Training Com
mittee, comprised of five represen-
tatives of the International Bro
therhood of Electrical Workers and
five representatives of the Nation
al Electrical Contractors Associa~
ton, met in September and agreed
on program of action AS re
suit, this National Joint Commit
tee now employs fulltime direc-
tor of apprenticeship, financed
jointly by the union and the con
tractors.
The Carpenters National Joint
Apprenticeship Committee met in
Washington in January and laid
plans for vigorous program in
this exceedingly important con-
struction trade. 1t is noteworthy
that five representatives of the

Bailey charges the operators with

In the case Of Joel Lundy, he is

which the suits are based was cited
by Mrs. Bailey as being Chapter

In regard to the Club Desire

less for five innings until he let up
and allowed a run in both the sixth

game, the most notable of which
was slow roller hit by SchelhOuse
that slipped by the Bridgeville
second baseman. Bridgeville trail

ties, most of which came during
the last two innings.
In the first inning a possible
Bridgeville score was knocked off
at the plate by Jester. This and
other fine catches by the "Bucs"
held down their opponents score.
Milford filled the bases in both of
the first two frames, but could only
get runs in the second. Three
