the highest intelligence and development of all. If anywhere
there are efforts tending to curtail the fullest growth of the
Negro, let these efforts be turned into stimulating, encourag¬
ing and making him the most useful and intell.gent citizen.”
—Booker T. Wasahington

from his 45-acre farm to local
produce wholesalers in Savan-

Last year, Mr. Hayes, grew
spinach mustard, turnips,
string beans, tomatoes, onions,
okra, lima beans, and white
potatoes. He plans to add an
orchard and a poultry flock.
He has already built poultry
houses which will be stocked
with 500, layers to produce
eggs for his cafes and for the
local market.
State Extension Agent P. H.
Stone says Mr. Hayes is well
on the way to developing a
model small farm which may
serve as a practical demonstra¬
tion for other operators of
small farms :n the area.
Mr. and Mrs. Hayes are na¬
