Colored Sharecropper Increases
Income on Tobacco, Cotton
Charles Ruffin, a colored share
cropper of Wilson County, N. C.,
added $1,400 to his cotton and
tobacco income last year by sell
ing home-grown products at the
Wilson curb market.
“My wife and I were worried
about the education of our child
ren a few yea^s back, said Mr.
Ruffin when interviewed recently
“That was before our country a
gent helped us start this curb
market; now we are not worried
at all,” he added.
And why should they be. Four
of their children already are go
ing to college—three daughters
at North Carolina College in Dur
ham and a son at A. & T. College,
Greensboro, N. C. And the way
is paved through curb market
sales for the other five children
to enter college when they finish
high school.
Mr. and Mrs. Ruffin begin |
farming as sharecroppers in 1922. 1
Year after year until 1941 they j
grew only cotton and tobacco for j
market and could never seem to |
g;et ahead. In May of 1941, County 1
Agent Carter W. Foster helped |
the farmers of Wilson County to
organize an association and est
ablish a curb market.
On the opening day of the mar- j
ket, Mrs. Henrietta Ruffin and
eight other farm women sold only
$53.87 worth of produces. Last
some,” said Mr. Ruffin, “we plan j
to buy. Just got to have a farm j
year, the sellers at the market
sold $10,657.89 worth of vegetabl
es, fruits cured meats eggs poul
try, butter, flowers and miscel
laneous products including home
made soap. Of this total, $1400
went to the Ruffins to help edu
cate their children and to help
swell their modest savings for a

farm of their own. In a single day
they have sold as much as $94
worth of products at the curb
market.
When land prices come down
for our son who is now studying
agriculture at college.
County Agent Foster says that
the Ruffins are among the most
energetic and enterprising farm
ers who sell at the market. “Al
though they live 16 miles from
Wilson, farther than most of the
sellers, they are usually first to
arrive every market day—Wed
nesday and Saturday,'’ says Mr.
Foster.
And Miss Helen T. Wade, i
county home demonstration agent
points out that the Ruffins’ pro- :
ducts are always of high quality
and are usually attractively ar
ranged on the curb market stands.
“'Grading and preparing farm '
products for market are two im- I
portant lessons that we are try
ing to put over,” states Mi3s |
Wade. j
Other important lessons which ,
the curb market sellers are learn- i
ing are: the monetary value of j
vegetables, fruits, poultry and i
poultry pdoducts; business arith- !
metic; and then need for increased
production of sideline crops for
market.
Mr. Ruffin whoissharesropping
40 acres, is now devoting three
and a half acres to vegetables.
The rest is in cotten, corn
tobacco, peanutsand small past
ure for his cows and 14 hogs. A
third of the receipts from his
cotton, corn, tobacco and peanuts
go to the landowner with whom
the Ruffins sharecrop, but the
income from his curb market sales
is all his.
So proficient as a curb market
seller has Mr. Ruffin become that
he is now treasurer of the associ
ation and a member of the advis
ory board. State Agent R. E.
Jones says that the operation of
this curb market simply demon
strates what a little guidance can
mean in heping farmers to lift
themselves toward better living
and a secure place on the land.

WDL Urges
Action On
Realtors Strike
NEW YORK—The Workers
Defense League has offered Gov.
Thomas E. Dewey and Mayor
William O’Dwyer a 4-point ‘pro
gram to combat the strike for j
establishment of the Hitler hous
ing pattern, which is being con- j
ducted by Ne York real estate in
terests with the backing of the j
big banks and insurance compan- I
ies.
“This shameiul story came to
light during the recent convention
of the New York State Associat
ion of Real Estate Boards,’’ Row
land Watts, acting national
secretaary of the Workers Defen
se League pointed out in letters
to the governor and mayor. “The
convention resolved not only to
campaign for repeal for our city
law barring racial discrimination
against tenants, but to fight a
gainst ’he enactment of local laws
preventing those who might pro
mote large developments of hous
ing the lower tenants.”
‘Top real estate and mortgage
executive admitted to reporters
that private housing projects in
volving’ many millions of dollars'
had been halted because of'the
law. Matthew B. Ely, president of
the Real Estate^ Board of New
York stated bluntly to Herman T.
Stichman, state housing commiss
ioner, that no moderate rent hous
ing projects will be undertaken by
private interests while our city |
law is on the books. After the
convention Stichman came out in
favor of emasculating the law.”
The WDL program calls Sticli
man’s removal from office. It eniia
upon the mayor and governor to
issue strong public statements
"exposing how these real estate
interests are taking advantage of
the present housing shortage to
try to put over their Nazi housing
plans" and to combat their cam
paign by urging that other cities
and the state adopt legislation
similar to ours.” Finally it calls
for more public housing projects.

H. T.—I have been married -1
years and my husband is good
provider but sometimes cross. We
have a nice home, no children. I
sometimes go out with a man that
I went with before I married. He
says he loves me and I love him
but it seems like we can’t ever
get a chance to be with each other
because I always try to be nice
and respectable to my husband as
he is that way toward me. Tell
me does the man care like he says
or am I loving in vain?
Ans: You’re making a great, big
chump of yourself. The man is
flattered by the attentions of a
married woman but I assure you
that his feeling for you isn’t love.
Your husband is a swell fellow
but he would lose his temper and
give you the gate if he got wind
of your conduct. Respect your
marriage vows in the future.
M. N. J.—I am writing to find
out if I 'will get the trip to Chi
cago that I want or is this friend
just bluffing?
Ans: His intentions are good
but he doesn't have that kind of
money. The only way you will
get to Chicago is to finance the
trip yourself.
B. A. I am married and have a
good wife and really love her. But
there is a woman who comes

R. C.—Your message:! are so
much strength and courage _o me
My problem is worrying roe very
much at this time. My husband
is a good man and I know that he
loves me but he just refuses to
accept responsibility and be the
head of the family. He relies on
me to make all decisions and to
look after the home. Now I am
wondering if this is the right way
to live after all he should take
his part of the responsibility.
Ans: His refusing to accept re
ponsibility isn’t a fault of great
consequence. He realizes that you
are a cracker-jack manager and
trusts your judgment about every
thing that arises. This is very
complimentary. With your initiat.
ive and ability to push him for
ward, he will certainly go places.
Give hi me constant encouragment.
T. M.—About 3 years ago I fell J
in love with a boy, and last year
he went to the army. We wrote
each other often until Feb. He
didn't say he would not write
again in his last letter but I
haven’t heard anything more.
Should I forget about him or look
him up on my vacation?
Ans: Another girl entered his
life in Feb., and turned his head.
He’s now a married man. Don’t
bother to look him up. Drop the
torch you’ve been carrying for him
Get around and make lots of new
contacts on your vacation. You
too can find love if you will en
courage more friends.
J. L. C.—I have a friend that I
go around with lots but people are
telling me that she doesn't like m~
as she did because she is jealous.
I want to know if she is jaslous of
me? To tell the truth, I am go
ing with hr husband on the sly. I
want to know if he loves me like
he claims or just playing around?
Ans: He’s having fun at your
expense—he’s not a bit serious.
You had better stop seeing him
as his wife isn’t going to put up
with much more of this foolish
ness. She would have stopped it
before now had she not been in
the condition she is and if you per
sist in seeing her husband, she
will make it hot for you. This
woman has been a true friend to
you—don't take advantage of her
while she is helpless.
ST. LOUIS,—Appealing for
wider Christian consecration, the
Rev. John W. Behnken, president
of the Missouri Synod Lutheran
Church, and summer guest speak
er on the International Lutheran
Hour declared here today: “The
dyamic power of a crucified Re
deemer definitely permeates and
activates the life of the believer.
That's the source of his strength.
That enables him to go forward.
That enables him to bring sacri
fices, That grants him victory
upon victory.”
Speaking over the Mutual
Broadcasting System and affili
ated stations, Dr. Behnken as
serted: “A life with Chirst and
for Chirst involves a constant
fight against sin. There is no
doubt that the old Adam, our old,
corrupt sinful flesh clings to us
We are not transferred immedi
ately into heaven, but we con
tinue to live in the flesh. We fully
realize, because we are made to
feel it again and again, that the
old, sinful flesh is fighting hard
to retrieve lost ground and to re
gain the upper hand. We know,
too, that if we were successful
in overcoming the old Adam yes
terday, he appears again today
to harass us. It requries a con
tinuous battle, a constant fight.
This life requires a persistent
struggle against temptation. With
God's help we succeed better
from day to day to suppress the
evil. With God’s help we can fight
devil, world and flesh and resist
their temptations.”
The radio speaker concluded:
“The indwelling Christ casts out
self,and yet that Christ makes use
of the individual and grants him
strength for service. That Christ
directs the Christain's life into an
entirely new realm. He turns His
eyes away from the vanities of
this world and fixes them firmly
upon the glories of eternal life.
“I am crucified with Christ;
nevertheless I live; yet not I,
but Christ liveth in me.” That is
the only life which is worthwhile.
May God graciously bless us with
such a life!”
