SPRING AS A season has its merits
but it can present problems for the
farmer.
The big question for the winter wheat
grower is How did his crop come
through the winter? He keeps an eagle
eye out for bare spots. When they
occur he has to determine what is
causing them. They may be due to

thing to do is reseed to spring wheat.
But bare spots in winter or spring
grain fields may be due to army cut
worms or to wireworms and false wire
worms.

Letter To The Editor
Dear Mr.. Reeves:

According to last weeks Times,
Coronet Magazine said that sla-
very in come form still exists In
a large area of the world. This
should not be amazing TO Ameri-
cans, as American Negroes have
ever lived IN a form of slavery.
They were given the opportunity
of becoming free when they were
liberated from bondage 80 years
ago, but since then the Negro has
made no effort to make himself
free, and as a consequence, 10 or
10 million Negroes are living In
a form of slavery at the present
time. Not compulsory, but volun-
tary slavery - slavery by choice.
Every group except the Negro,
is comprised of masters and SER
wants - producers and consum-
ers. The Negro group is comprised
of servants and consumers only.
A group which is 100 percent de-
pendent on other groups for its
every economic need, is living in
a form of slavery. Every Negro
man and woman in the u. S. A,
regardless of their station in life,
is dependent on other racialS for
life's necessities and the modern
comforts of life. Negroes do not
produce steel, paper, type, ink and
printing presses, all of which are
factors in the creation Of books
from which knowledge is obtain
ed and disseminated. From this
analysis we can see that every
American Negro is in the slave
category; he also can understand
that production" is the line of
demarcation which separates the
Negro from the other racial
groups, and he can further under
stand that the Negroes non-parti-
cipation in the economic order of
the country is the source of his
disfavor of the other racial
groups.
When will the Negro awaken
from this apathy? When will he
take advantage of his great po-
tentiality?
The writer is preparing logi-
cal and feasible solution.
