A Challenge To The State Legislature

great deal has been said and written in recent
weeks about the loss of population of the state and al
though minor percentage of the total be assessed
to this source the most valuable people in the migration
movement the students, who because of inferior
educational facilities and opportunities in the state sup
ported colleges institutions of higher learning, go
to complete their education in the colleges and nst-
tutons of higher learning in other states thus in the
matter of Negro students large percentage of the
able Negro students which should be getting their
education in Mississippi institutions to be found in
Southern University, Louisiana, Tennessee State Col
lege, and other we'll known institutions outside the
state
That the present standards, and the future poten-
ta of most state Negro institutions outside of Msss
spp at present far greater than those of the state
may be by noting the annual budget for this year
of four million odd dollars approved for Southern
University for Negro students at Baton Rouge, Lous
ana, as compared with annual budget of
hundred thousands and odd dollars for Jackson State
College
The comparison of the budgets of other states sup
ported institutions for higher education for Negroes with
those of the state of Mississippi gives just about the
picture that of Southern University.
The issue of Indignation aside, of the greatest
challenges to the state legislature in session is that
of taking the proper steps financial and otherwise to
make certain that Mssissppis institutions for the
higher education of Negro Students will be in the
position to compare favoraby with such institutions in
other Southern states

Farmers Urged To
Select And Prepare
Land For Alfalfa

Farmers who plan to plant al
falfa next fall should start getting
ready now, according to w. R.
Thompson, Extension pasture spe-
cialist.
"Select the land now and don't
plant crop on it this spring or
summer. The little loss caused by
the idle land this summer will be
made up for by high production
from alfalfa next year," he said.
Alfalfa requires a good soil well
drained both internally and on the
surface. The soil should not have
a hardpan.
"Here is what to do to pick and
prepare land for alfalfa. Test for
lime needs. It should have a PHI
Of 6.5. Some areas will not need
lime, but if there is any doubt,
check. If you need lime and don't
apply it, you won't have much sue
ces with alfalfa.
"Plow and fallow the land all
during late spring and summer.
If you have to add lime, apply it
during the summer, then disk it in.
"Check with your local county
agent for variety of alfalfa that
fits in your area" Thompson ad-
vised.
Alfalfa is an expensive crop to
grow, he pointed out. But with
good stand and good growth, it
mixes the best hay grown. Good
alfalfa, properly handled is well
worth its cost.

Los Angeles, Calf, Feb. 25-
Any history which fails to give
full credit to Negroes for their
"titantic role" in the building of
the American continents is "sheer
distortion, according to a UCLA
professor emeritus of history.
Writing in a recent edition of
1.-THE Negro History Bulletin"
Prof. Frank J. Klingberg, of UCLA
stated:
at is impossible to exaggerate
the great role of the Negroes in
the mastery of the American con-
tinents. They build tropical Am
erica. Without them it could not
have been made a productive unit.
They worked and produced tobacco,
the sugar, the coffee, the rice,
and the indigo"
The place of the Negro in Anglo
American history, he said, may be
presented by setting forth the Ne
gro's part in the commerce be-
tween the two countries in 1860.
"In that year the cotton pro-
duced in the United States by four
million American Negroes gave a

NEGRO MIGRATION LARGER
Than EUROPEAN SAYS PROF.

livelihood to four million people in
the British Isles"
The immigration of Negroes to
the Americas before 1860 was much
greater from Africa than was the
immigration from Europe, Profess
sor Klingberg said.
Long before the Irish famine of
1910 the year which marks the
start of large-scale European mi
grafton to the Americas, Negroes
sometimes arrived at the rate of
100000 a year; totaling Is million
in a period covering the 18th, 18th.
18th and 10Th centuries.
"The expansion of Europe can
not be studied as an isolated phe-
nomenon," Professor Klingberg
said, "but must be interviewer with
the expansion of Africa as COM
mon migration to the western
world.
Both streams of people reached
the Americas together. One out of
every five Negroes in the world
today lives not in Africa but in
the Americas. AS we study Europe
so should we study Africa"

Poultry inspection
Regulations For SO
Issued By U.S.D.A.

The U. S. Department of Agri-
culture today announced issuance
of regulations governing the in
spection of poultry for wholesome
ness under the Poultry Products
Inspection Act.
This new legislation requires in
spection after Jan. l, 1859, of poul-
try products which move in inter-
state and foreign commerce. The
program will be available about
May /, 1858, for professors who
wish to come under it before the
compulsory deadline.
The regulations have been issued
after extensive consultation with
members of the industry and other
interested groups.
There were several controversial
provisions in the proposed regula-
tions published for industry and
public consideration. Some of the
more important involved removal
of kidneys during processing, pro-
hibition of the use of letter grade
designations A, B and c en- poultry
unless it is officially graded, use
of combined inspection and grade
mark, and the work schedule OF
Government inspectors.
After thorough consideration OF
the views and arguments present
ed, USDA decided to retain the
provision which will require kid
news to be removed from ready
to-cook poultry. The combined in
spection and grade mark which has
been used in the past under the
voluntary inspection program will
not be permitted after present
supplies of labelling and packaging
materials have been depleted.
Use of grade designations such
as A, B and c will not be permit
ted on individually consumer la.
beled and packaged poultry unless
the poultry has been officially
graded. The regulations will au
thorize a workweek for inspector:
of five eight-hour days within thu
period of Monday through Satur
day.
The regulations include require
ments for processing facilities ant
sanitary operating procedures
provide for ante-mortem and post
norton inspection Of poultry; con
tain labelling requirements; ant
prohibit false and misleading Ia
beling. !
Additional provisions which will
be effective when the law becomes
fully operative on Jan. l, 1859, vii
be issued within the next few
months. These will cover such mat
tiers as exemptions, import re
ouirements, and required records

YOU MUST BE RIGHT WITH
GOD.
When we claim God the Father
And our brother in Christ Jesus

And walking the kings highway.
The Lord has that seen eye.
And the power of this world in his

We have got to obey his will every
day.
If we expect to reach that Promise

The world are now in shame today
Most everybody want to be seen.
Except the law violator that are

Behind some place cant be seen.
You can hide yourself from your

Yet you cant hide your soul from
Christ.
You got to be born of the spirit of
God.
To receive that eternal happy lift.
The world is trying to fill Gods
House.
With that will do you cant get by.
You had better watch your step.
The devil is telling you a bare
foot lie.
Wake up my people and clean out
Gods house.
He said for his people to separate.
Stop asking the world to help pay
for Gods house.
Before it will be too late.
Christ made it all plain today.
Vixen he shed his blood on the
cross.
He gave his life to save the world.
And the father made Christ our
boss.
He tell US all l am the way.
For every soul that is now right.

ident Boyd was impressed by what
ne saw and the people of the coast
were impressed by the dignity and
charm of the president.
The president saw Valena C.

and lay teachers.
There are more than II million
Negroes and about $4,000 Indians
in the United States and Alaska.
The report was signed by Fran
els Cardinal Spellman, Archbishop
of New York; Archbishop Francis
P. Keough Of Baltimore; and Arch
bishop John F. O'Hara of Phila-
delphia. Rev. j. B. Tennelly, sec
rotary of the commission, released
the report.
The Catholic commission was set
up by the bishops in 1884 to assist
financially Indian and Negro mis-
sions in the United States and
Alaska. 1t consists of a board of
directors composed of three Elem-
bers of the hierarchy and a secre-
tary. It's funds are derived from
an annual collection taken up in
, every church during Lent.
In 1867 the Commission showed
receipts totaling over $1.8 million
More than SIG million was appro-
! priated for mission work in 70 di.
oceses on the basis of individual
| need.
Father Tennelly said that the
bishops commission is only a small
part Of the Church's effort to helI
Negro and Indian missions. Mos
OF the burden falls upon the indi
vidual bishops in their own di
| oceses.
Of the 127 archdiocese and di
oceses in the United States, 1:

Suggestions On How
To Restore varnish
To Dull Furniture

If your vanished furniture has
taken on a dull, cloudy look, you
may be able to restore it with lin
seed oil and gum turpentine, ad-
vises Gena Thames, extension home
furnishings specialist.
Miss Thames says that cloudi-
ness caused by poor quality warm
ish cannot be removed without re-
moving the varn;sh. But if the fin
ish has been dulled by smoke, dust
and grease-as may happen in any
household - then linseed oil and
gum turpentine should revive it
successfully.
First, clean the vanished sur
face, one section at time, with 1
teaspoon gum turpentine and
three teaspoons boiled linseed oil
/. in 1 cup of hot water. When this
has cooled, mix another portion.
Rub on with soft cloth, or with
very fine steel wool if the surface
had been neglected long time.
Then wipe with clean cloth wrung
out of warm water, and follow by
rubbing with dry cloth.
You can then revive the finish
by applying $40 steel wool pad,
dipped in equal parts of raw lin
seed oil and gum turpentine. Ap-
ply very lightly and carefully,
especially on TIE edges, to prevent
the steel wool from cutting. Wipe
off with a dry cloth-and the
cloudiness should be gone.
The type Of materials you use
is important. Make sure you have
boiled linseed oil for cleaning and
raw linseed oil for that final rub
down. For both purposes be sure
