Negro Farmers
buv MACHINERY
Comparatively

Because their small farms do
not warrant the purchase of trac-
tors and other heavy farm ma
chinery on an individual basis,
colored farmers in several areas
who operate small acreages are
buying their equipment coopera-
lively, according to reports re-
ceived by the U. S. Department
of Agriculture from State Exten-
sion Service directors.
| In North Carolina, for example.
colored farmers in one county re-
Gently purchased nine new
threshers, four hay balers, and
two tractors on a cooperative
basis. In Georgia, colored farm
ers are buying peanut pickers
comparatively; in Mississippi and
Arkansas, colored farmers are
buying tractors and mechanical
cotton choppers on a cooperative
basis.
1t is pointed out that coopera-
tive purchasing of mechanical
cotton pickers, when mass pro-
duction of these machines get
fully underway, may be the
means by which colored farmers
can survive the mechanization Of
cotton growing.

last of the Divisions combat
units, the 365th and 370th In
fantry Regiments landed at
Hampton Roads.
The 370th also was the first
combat team of the Division to
go into action. Attached to the
Fifth Army on August "a, 1914,
it served continuously in 'front.'
line action until the termination
of hostilities in May, 1915. The
men of the 370th wear three bat
tie stars on their European Thea
ter Ribbon, one more than is worn
by other units of the 92nd.
These were the last units of
the 92nd to return from overseas.
The Division itself was next to
the last combat unit serving in
Italy.
Within 48 hours after their ar
rival at the three large Eastern
ports, the four thousand men,
with the exception of those who
elected to re-enlist-were on
their way to % centers through
out the country-from Fort Dew
ems, Massachusetts, to Camp
Bcale, California--to be separat-
ed from the service.
Coigs and standards of the
d.v,sion and its regiments were
furlcd and put away, ending the
92nd Division in World War II.
Under these colors, according
to figures not yet final 623 men
had died, 2,2o3 were wounded
in action, 10 are still listed as
missing in action"
Under these colors 1906 deco
rations were made to officers and
enlisted men, including 2 Dis
tinguished Service Crosses, |
Distinguished Service Medal, 16
Legion of Merit awards, IS Silver
Stars, 6 Soldiers Medals, 1893
Bronze Stars, 1905 Purple Hearts
and 1896 Combat Infantryman
Badges.
Under these colors, in early Oc-
tober, 1914, the famed Division
was formed as a unit on the
Ligurian Coast and took over the
sector on November S, 1914. It
occupied a front extending from
the Ligurian coast to the vicinity
of Bagni Di Lucca, approximate
ly as miles.
II operated in this sector from
October until the conclusion of
hostilities in May, which included
an advance in the April offensive
from the winter line to a point
near Torino which was highlight-
ed by the capture of Genoa, on
April 81, l945. This represented
a depth of about 1870 miles. From
the period of May-November the
Division operated from Genoa
back to the vicinity of Pisa.

| w dSlilSloH, -. Al last a
clear case to test the Jim Crow
travel laws of southern states
which segregate interstate pas
sengers on interstate carries is
before the United States Supreme
Court.
Chief Justice Harlan F. Stone
on November 10 signed an order
allowing the appeal of Irene Nor
gan from the judgment of the
Supreme Court of Virginia af-
firming her conviction of viola
ton of the Jim Crow transporta-
ton statute of Virginia. The
case came up on direct appeal
instead of petition for writ of
certiorari because the appeal
challenged the constitutionality of
the statute in Virginia.
Irene Morgan, on July 16, 1914,
was a passenger on a Greyhound
bus from Closter county, Virginia,
to Baltimore, Maryland. When
the bus arrived in Saluda, Vir-
ginia, defendant was requested
to move back to the rear of the
bus. She was arrested and
charged with violation of the
Virginia statute requiring segre-
CATION of passengers, and on Oc-
tober 10, 1914, was convicted and
fined $40.
Her case was promptly appeal
ed to the Supreme Court of Vir-
ginia on writ Of error, and or
June 6, l945, her conviction wa
affirmed by that court which
held that the Virginia statute wa
constitutional and applied to in
terstate as well as local passeng
ers. A motion for rehearing wa
promptly filed and was denied b,
the Supreme Court in September
l945.
The United States Suprem,
Court, in the case of Hall VS.
DeCuir, in 1877, held that the
local statute in Louisiana pro-
hibiting segregation of passengers
did not apply to interstate pas
sengers. The only other cases
to reach the highest court since
that time have cases on the ques-
ton of the equality of provisions
for segregation of passengers. The
Irene Morgan case is the first
which challenges the validity of
segregation statutes as applied to
passengers in interstate COM
.merce and on interstate carriers.

Miss Morgan are Judge William
