became known that the crop of flax
had brought far greater profit than the
wheat and oats, more than few of
these same men who had Sc0ffed at
the idea of raising flax in this country
were seriously considering trying, 'just
a little patch
The following spring though, Martha
reversed herself Wheat was what she
planted, and planted SO thick that her
neighbors again shook their heads IN
pity. ''Never should have seeded that
thick in this dry country they said.
''Just burn up when the July winds
hit it. But that year was a good one
for wheat. Plenty of rain and good
growing weather, and without the usual
hot, dry winds in the middle OF sum-
mer. Marthas wheat grew thick and
fast, forming great, plump heads that
swayed and tossed in the gentle breeze
like an undulating sea-
Sad Mixture
There was, however, one small
blight on this beautiful picture. Grow
ing in amongst this nice stand of wheat
was another crop-flax. Volunteering
from seed that had shelled out in the
winds of the previous fall, it was now
forming a sturdy new crop in the midst
of the wheat.
Depends on how you look at it,
Montana farmer-stockman., 1955-03-15

the grain buyers told Martha that fan
as she brought in her first load Of
grain. "Y0u either got mighty nice
looking load of wheat, or, you got
some mighty nice looking flax. But
mixed together like that, well :.
dunno, not worth much Sorry ma am.
The neighboring men adopted what
can-you-expect-from a-woman attitude,
as she brought her load of grain home
again and had it shoveled back in her
granary, and advised iler to sell it for
whatever she could get for it, for they
said, it wasn't fit for feed or seed
But Martha only laughed, and shaking
her head, set off for town.
A day or so later dray wagon pulled
into her yard and unloaded a bright,
new red tanning mill. and then it
dawned on the homesteaders how this
plucky little woman intended to turn
her two-crops-in-one And turn she did.
All through the winter the whir and
clank of the tanning mill rang out into
the cold clear air from Martha's gran
airy as she patiently famed the flax
from the wheat. And in the spring the
little lady homesteader's laugh could
be heard tinkling across the prairie, as
wagon loads of flax, followed by wagon
loads of wheat rolled away from her
granary.

thetically as they watched her standing
amidst the piles of boaros, lingering her
new hammer uncertainty as she pre-
pared to erect a cabin. The good ladies
directed their husbands to leave their
respective tasks, and go over and put
together dwelling for that poor little
thing"
Carried away no doubt by her infec-
tious laughter, and encouraged by her
EXPLANATIONS of delight, the homestead
ers built her a barn and granary at
the same time, for, although she had
little of the physical qualifications of
a homesteader, she had brought GER
tain amount of money with her.
The situation repeated itself as soon
as the weather warmed and the time
came for blowing the tough sod and
preparing to plant crop. A fine team
of horses, along with milk cow and
a few chickens, were now sharing the
new barn, while outside, bright, new
sulky pillow stood cleaning in the warm
spring sun.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1955-03-15

The sight of their new neighbor strug-
Cling to throw harness onto the backs
of her team, again brought clucks of
sympathy from the neighboring wives,
and shortly after came their husbands,
complete with plows, discs and harrows.
Thus it was that in short time, and
with much laughter and joshing, Mar
tina possessed a fine large field of well
cultivated land lying ready for the seed,
and it was on this matter of seed that
Martha set her small foot down gently
but firmly.
Flax 1t Was
Wheat, oats, or maybe barley" said
her neighboring men, ''But flax? Don't
be silly girl. Waste of time and
money"
But flax it was, and such a stand
as any of them had ever seen. AS the
men watched the plants blossom and
later form into hard, brown pods, there
came over them grudging feeling of
respect for this little woman who had
so blithely ignored their advice.
When the harvest was over, and it

The Mississippi Negro And

and what will gain the greatest applause of the moment

the truth than the statement that Negroes in Msss
sppi have the buying power to force their aims upon
the White Community of this any other state.
The truth that the Negro does not have the buying
power any other related financial status to force
his aims upon the White Community of this other
state, is obvious until it hardly any need to
point out here the total lack of Negro employers to give
Independent employment to Negro workers in the state
To follow DR.. Towards demand for Negro boycott

for the Negro of the state.

good will as possible at the local level.

Negroes, Americans First
From: The Christian Science Monitor

What has often been reported and commented
upon before has been investigated and summarized
by the House Committee Un-American Activities:
that international communism had for the past Is years
endeavored to arouse the American Negro, ncte him
to revolution and held out the prospect of "seperae
state to be located in the Deep South and that the
Negro had turned his back upon such Establishments
fdent that his problems could be worked within the
framework of American institutions.
Coming it does from an investigating body which
during most of these has been concerned primarily
with the dangers of communism this report has added
force. The Communists endeayor and the Negro;
fusal make episode in history the significance of
which can hardly be OvereStimated.
communism as movement has made its appeals
on two levels. One is to people fascinated by intrigue,
eaten by resentment and tempted by the prospect
OF personal power. To them its OstenSiby sOciaistc

and the leaders of the conspratora aspects of the

the suppressed and depressed, and the frustrated
Where in the United States would there be found
seemingly fertile field in which to this second
appeal than among the 49, 900 Americans of African
ancestry? Yet with few spectacular exceptions the
seed has failed to sprout.
1t would be great mistake to think that communism
has given UP its attempt to the Negro-just it
would be fatuous to that particularly
come time of excess unemployment, the Communists
would refrain from trying again to control organized
labor.
But the story of both attempts gives support the
faith that the opportunity for evolution though
less than wholly realized exerts stronger appeal than
does plotting for revolution And it pays fine tribute
to the leadership Negroes have had since first they
were set free.

YOU TO HELL
GODS LOVE is THE WAY
The Holy Bible tells us all
You shall 1 cap what you sow
But the lawyer tells you

Who is rebelling against Gods will
The Bible says we must reap what

Yet the jury says we are not guilty
You are free and won't have to go.
What will become of the hand
raised up
And swear to an oath before man
Would there be any chance to en-

At this time if death would call
for you to stand.
There are thousands of men swear

And claiming to own a part in
Christ
Yet never been born of the Spirit
of Christ
And know nothing of Christian
life.
0 Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God
Why would such man rebel
Claiming he owns a part in you
When his soul is doomed to hell.
No one can own a part in Christ
With rubies, diamonds or gold
1t takes the love of God in your
heart
To save your perilous soul.
Paying your dues in the house of
worship
Doesn't free your precious soul
You have got to be born of the
Spirit of God
1t doesn't take silver or gold.
The wealth of this world is silver
and gold
But the law of God is the saliva

We must lift UP Jesus everywhere
And stop lifting up the wrong man.
How can we live in sin
And feel my Savior's care
If We have been born of the Spirit
of God
When death comes, we have no
fear.
Too many unbelievers in Jesus
Christ
Know Greek and Latin as we'll
Yet don't know God in the parting
of their sins
And their souls are doomed to hell.
