alton. Much of our racial tran
qriIlity at the present time can be
directly attributed to the fine work
that Rev. Battle is doing. To name
few of his accomplishments:
He has a church in st. Paul
(The Gospel Temple, 247 N. Grotto
ST.;
He Is building a church in Min
neapolis. (19O8 Fourth Av. S.;
He has a weekly radio program
in Chicago (WBSC 114O) and
two in Minnesota (WMN 1400,
KNOT FIN 953);
And he is very active in the
training of the youth of our Negro
population. He Is the only Negro
pastor with bus service for the
children.
Rev. Battle is highly educated.
respected, Negro citizen who be-
heves that the only true way that
his race can succeed is by personal
effort on their part to raise their
standards. He is constantly indoc-
trinating his people in this prin-
ciple.
Also, Rev. Battle is in close con-
tact with the Muslin Movement
of which we have a nucleus in
Minneapolis. He Is working con-
stantly with the leaders of this
Movement to keep it from explod-
ing into a situation which would
be most distressing to all Of us.
I have been personally acquaint-
ed with Rev. Battle for several
years, and I believe that the bus
iness community of the Twin
Cities should help him If at all pos
sible in his most worthy endeavor
At the present time, Rev. Battle
has purchased theater building on
Fourth Avenue off of Franklin
Steel has been contributed and
some money has been contributed
TO help him remodel this building
into an efficient church and Sunday
School plant. We are seriously In
need OF funds to assure the sue
cessftll completion Of this project
I am asking you to make a con-
trdbutton to this most worthy
cause. I am thinking Of an amount
Of 500. I can assure you that If
Rev. Battle Is successful In his
dynamic endeavor, you will be able
TO derive a great deal Of personal
satisfaction In knowing that you
were a part Of solving the serious
social problem in our area by the
only real American way. I sin
cerely believe that for us to at
tempt TO solve this problem by
local people, ourselves, instead of
having outsiders in the picture,
will prove to be a much more sat
isfactory and a much more econ
omical way than that which is
transpiring In other communities.
Please send your contribution
made payable to the HOUSE OF
REFUGE, INC. and mail 1t to me
at this address, 1923 Smelling Av.
s., Minneapolis, MINI.
Please take care of this request
as quickly as possible because tim
ing in a situation such as this Is of
utmost Importance.
I want to apologize for making
this request Of you in the form of
a letter, for I would much rather
call on you personally. The timing
on this situation and my personal
work load will not permit; but In
the absence Of my personal con-
tact, please accept my most sin-
cere thanks for your contribution.
Sincerely, Carleton c. Hitchcock.

NAACP Youth Worker
Reports Diseourtesy
Ar EiIIinu Sfotion

A. Filling Sfotion
A Minneapolis woman, an NAA-
CP Youth worker recently reported
discourtesy from a filling station
manager.
Mrs. Beatrice Bailey, 4017 Fifth
Av. S., Minneapolis reported to this
newspaper office that an attendant
at Laurie's Gas Station on the
NV. corner Of 39th St., and Port
land had refused to wipe off her
auto windshield after she pur-
chased five gallons Of gas. She
said she had been a customer of
the station for five years.
A reporter who accompanied
her back to the station queried
Delmar Borman, 1921 NV. Is
A ST., New Brighton about the
incident.
Borman denied he showed Mrs.
Bailey any discour'tesy and ac-
cused her Of cussing him. He didn't
deny that he told her to use her
wiper to clean the front
windows Of her car.
When the reporter asked him If
he sought to discourage Negro
patrons from patronizing he
strongly denied he did.
Borman claimed Mrs. Bailey
was rude to him, and had prob
ably "got up on the wrong side
of the bed"
Mrs. Bailey's version of the af-
fair was that after she purchased
and paid for the gas, Borman went
back into the station without
touching her windshield which was
dirty from the moisture Of q
cloudy morning. She said she
thought he was coming back to
the car but he did not do so.
When he failed TO return to the
auto she asked him to come out
and clean the windshield. She said
Bom1an told her roughly to use
her wiper blades, that's what they
are for" When she demurred and
told him she considered wiping
a part Of a station
Mrs. Bailey said Borman
old her not TO come back to the
'tation again.
Borman did not deny he told
Mrs. Bailey not to come back to
he gas station. The station has
,een managed for about two years
~ him according TO Borman and
8 owned by the Laurie Gas, Inc,
irm in the Sexton Bldg.

Plants Need A
Balanced Diet

Plants have appetites, just as
humans and farm animals do.
But unfortunately, Assoc. Coun-
ty Agent Ed Ralph says, plants
can't vary their available foods
at will to match their appetites
for a balanced diet.
This is where you, as an alert
farmer, can enter the picture.
You don't have to wait until your
crops are ring-stre ak d,
speckled, and spotted with
blotchy discolor alton. You can
get help beforehand by having
a soil test made to detect nu-
trient DEFICIENCIES before you
plant your crops.
Ralph said that a soil test
will help you determine how
much and what kind of each
fertilizer element you should
add to produce a heavy, healthy
JAS20 Va GAAJ &ORs
The county agent explained
that many crops in the county
are forced into "overeating''
certain elements but are on q
starvation diet for other nutri-
ents they need for healthy,
steady growth.
He emphasized that a major
soil fertility problem in the
county is an unbalanced supply
of plant nutrients. Eating only
one food source each day is un-
healthy for people similarly,
he pointed out, no one morsel
of a certain fertilizer element
can keep plants well fed.
The county agent urged ali
farmers to ask themselves two
questions: ID Are you sure vol
know the fertility condition Of
the soils on your farm? (2) Dc
you know what kind and amount
of fertilizer to use on your
crops for top yields and tor
profits?
II you can answer these ques-
tions, he said, you are on the
road to more profitable farm
ing. But II you can't, he strong
ly suggests that you obtain the
right answer by having a sol,
test made right away on eacf
field of your farm.

good samples, and bad samples
are worse than none, call the
