NEGRO FARMER GETS
BANKERS' AWARD
Ups Output Through Soil
Consf nation
Because of the exce uLitt jL.ri.rr
of soil and mater c< -nservati n carr
ied cut on his own farm, through
which he is increasing his wartime
production. Eddie Marshall. X
conservation farmer of Porter. Okla
homa. has been given a certificate a
ward by the Oklahoma Bankers As
sociation.
The importance of soil and water
conservation mas emphasized la t
week by Secretary uf Agricuirur;
Claude R- Wickard in an address be
fore the Rotary district conference.
He pointed out that erost. n has dam
aged 300 million acres, or two- fifths
of all the cropland in the United
States. Said he. "Each year erosion
costs the United States in the neigh
borhood of 5:1.844.000,000 in wasted
soil, railroad and highway damages,
flood damage, abandonment of farms
reduced reservoir capacity and other
losses.r
Joining in to help conserve the Na
tion's soil resources. Farmer Marsh
all asked the U. S. Department of
Agriculture' Soil Conservation Serv
ice in 1936 to provide him with tech
nicians to help him plan a soil - V
water conservation program on his
160-acre upland farm. This was the
beginning of his conservation farming
After the plan was developed, youths
from the Wagoner CCC camp helo
him to build two farm ponds, set
black locust trees on two acres, plan'
Bermuda roots in pastures and ter
race outlets.
In 1938 when the Arkansas-Verdi
gris Soil Conservation District ■
organized. Mr. Marshall was one •'
the first applicants for a district •
operative agreement. Although mo ,t
of the conservation measures planned
for his farm had been established, in
wanted to have a cooperative agree
ment with the district.
Now 61 acres of cultivated land is
protected by a system of terraces
built by Farmer Marshall. All farm
ing operations are on the contour.
Crop- of cotton, com. cowpeas. soy
beans, small grain, grain sorghum and
Korean lespedoza are used in a cota
tion. Lespedoza. cowpeas and soy
beans are grown for soil improve
ment.
These practices have increased crop
yields one third according to Mr.
Marshall and are helping him to
make a larger contribution to the
war.
PASSING FOR WHITE
< by William Henry Huff)
I've bleached my skin
So now and then
I look as white as they.
I've pressed my hair
With heat and care
They say I'm rate this way.
I wear a veil
That all may fail
To check upon my race.
Tis not to snob.
But for a job.

hen* iii a letter to Mr. Go'dberg, wh
ra- produced a film called ’We've

The NAACP reiterated the senti
ments in its letter of February 1

him that NAACP branches would mx
be permitted to cooperate in > eur

The NAACP cha,-acterized “We've
Come A Long, Long Ways" as in
sulting to Negro theatre-goers be
cause it stresses Nazi atrocities and
preaches to Negroes that they are
j much beter off m America than they
| would be under Hitler.
“Negroes," said the NAACP let
ter. "being American citizens, com
i pare their treatment to the American
j standard, not to Nazi theories. ,
’On the other hand, "The Negro
j Soldier" is an excellent documentary
I film, a first-rate effort directed by
Col. Frank Capra. It has enormous
| potentialities for good in stimulating
> the morale of American Negroes and
! in educating white Americans to th

The NAACP expressed regret ths'

Correcting Another
World-Herald
Misstatement.....
You have been told by the World-Herald about the
increase in the legal and advertising expense of the
Nebraska Power Company, which was caused by our
opposition to the efforts being made to force our Com
pany out of business. You have been told also that
you, our customers, are paying these added costs. This
is not true.
The World-Herald's figures, as usual, are inaccura4e.
For example, the advertising expense for 1942, used
in the comparison, was given as SI30,000 less than the
actual figure, thus making the 1943 advertising expense
appear enormous by comparison.
We have spent money — our money — in our fight to
prevent the socialization of our property, and will con
tinue to do so if the attack continues. Our Company
has no other means of protecting itself against the mis
leading and often false accusations that are being
made in an attempt to destroy our well established
business, and to force Omaha's electric service under
political ownership and management.
We say "our money" because these expenses are not
coming out of the pockets of the electric user, but out
of the money available for paying dividends to our
stockholders. Anyone who knows anything about how
electric rates are made would know that no regulatory
body, such as the City Council, would include any
expense in establishing your rates unless in their judg
ment that expense were fairly a part of the cost of
service.
We feel that these expenses which have been forced
on us were absolutely necessary, and that our friends
and customers would lose respect for us if we sat idly
by and failed to fight those who desire to destroy our
business and the livelihood of our several hundred
employees who do not want to become political job
holders.
