Artie Shaw (left), who supplies the Melody, Robert Benchley, who
is responsible for the Madness on NBC’s Meldoy and Madness program,
are concentrating on the Melody. It’s a little selection appropriately en
titled, “Just We Two.”
Robert Benchley’s informative
discussions on sleeping, income
taxes, eating and things like that,
are found in concentrated form,
with musical coating by Artie
Shaw, on Melody and Madness,
broadcast over the NBC Network
through WPTF in Raleigh on Tues
days at 8:00 p. m. EST. As the
seasons pass, and holidays and
crises come to the fore, Benchley’s
listeners from coast to coast will
find him a guide to life’s little
problems. Mr. B's Melody and Mad
ness program includes among other
Benchley features, imaginary tours
to foreign .countries and out of the
way places in America on “The
Bounding Broomstick.” Always,
whether expounding on “How to
Ride a Surfboard” or bounding a
hout on his broom stick, Benchley
is Mr. Average Man, mirrored per
fectly and made understandable
through Benchley wit.

FSA Clients Lead In I
. Cooperative Marketing
WASHINGTON, D. C. Negro!
clients on Farm Security farm pro-'
je.cts are taking to cooperative
marketing very rapidly, according'
to reports recently made by a re-1
presentative of the Cooperative
Service Section of the Resettlement
Division who has recently from a
survey of southern projects.
At Prairie Farms near Tuskegee,
Alabama, and Flint River Farms,
Montezuma, Georgia, where the
suggestions of the cooperative staff
weie carried out, the cotton crops
were sold out, last week.
At Flint River, wher e 102 fami
lies are located, the crop of 340
bales netted over $3 per bale, clear
of all .charges including payment
of the government loan, interest,
storage and sampling —a total of
more than one thousand dollars
going directly back to the clients
in profits. At Prairie Farms, a
smaller project, the 208-bale crop
netted a profit of $2.40 per bale.
The crop at Gee’s Bend, near Sel
ma, Alabama, has not yet been sold.
Clients there have also cooperated
fully with marketing plans, and
will also net a substantial profit,
over the amount Received from
their Commodity Credit loans.
In the Fifth Farm Security Re
gion, which includes South Caro
lina, Georgia, Alabama and Florida,
only one other project the white
project at Ashwood, South Caro
lina “went along” with the plans.
In the Third Region, the mixed
' project at LaForge, Missouri, went
! over the top with a 1200 bale crop
' about equally divided between
white and Negro clients.
I.ast season when cotton was
hauled to the gin, seed was sold
at th e wagon price. This season ar
rangements were made to store the
.cotton. In an experiment conduct-
I e ) at Prairie Farms, the coopera
tive association paid each client
the full wagon market price at the
time of delivery. When a car-lot
was accumulated by the coopera
tive, it was sold to th e highest bid
der, the clients earning over $7
per ton in excess dividends, thru
this procedure.

Mr. Leonard's lecture.
Just to mention one incident in
