Previously the order prevented use of this acreage for growing other, crops which were . eligible for price support.

The new order cancels this restric tion, so in 1955 thcland will not have to lie fallow or be devoted to crops ineligible for price support, j ; The" wheat-growing! area of eastern Ore gon will benefit fromUhis change, as will a good many farmers in the Willamette Val ley (though fains this year have prevented harvesting much wheat and barley here). In the summer fallow country a special pro Vision lightens the percentage of land to be taken out of wheat, while the new order will permit the plantjng of grains like barley for which the government provides some price 'guarantee.

Summer Street: The decision of the Supreme Court to stop race segregation, was very timely, or rather about a century late. 1 ! i Since its beginning this nation of ours has been a melting-pot for all races and nationalities alike, who all came here of ' their own accord, except the ; Negro. . f i . i He waa brought here forcibly, robbed from his home and all that was near and dear to him, and subjected to treatment '. lower than we would bestow on a beast ' :- ,t... God Created all men to be equal. Because the Negro was not fortunate enough in the selection of his-parents, as you and I were, should he forever suffer for the wrong or misdeed of his forefathers? Supposing your father' had committed a crime, would you and your posterity be willing to suffer persecution forever on account of his crime? God said: "Love thy neighbor as thyself." He did not say on ly your white neighbor. The Negro is not forcing him- , self on us, but has been trod' den on so long, that some peo ple seem to think that they have to keep on stepping on him.

Golden Rule To the Editor: ( Frank Randolph's "Infamous' Decision" letter in the Sept 14th The Safety Valve annoys me. It is based on ignorance, superstition and prejudice.

Caesar that which is Caesar s and un to the Lord that which is the Lord's"? Under the Constitution of the United States,1 the Su preme Court could not do other wise than 'to decide against se gregation in the public schools. If Mr. Randolph would learn to quit confusing ' religion and government I'm sure he would be 'much less mixed up. The Negroes - could do with a lot more understanding and less slander.

To the Editor: '" Frank Randolph's letter on "Infamous" decision, I needs an answer. I would ask: When did he last read Gen.; 9.24-26.

And He (Noah) said (Not God): "Cursed be Ca naan. . a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren." , "And he said blessed be the Lord God of Shem;; and. Can- naan shall be his servant."

He was an Asiatic ' Acts-17-26; Paul says "And has made of one blood, all na tions of men for to dwell on the face of the earth." i The white man who asserts that the Negro ought not to force himself upon the white man will not hesitate to assist in fading out the Negro race.
