Virginia, which already enjoys
the distinction Of having one Of the

enormous task Of constructing over
a thousand miles Of new roads
These highways will be part Of the
vast Interstate system to serve an

Plans For Conservation Reserve OF
Soil Bank For 1860 Season Revealed

The U. S. Department Of Ag-
riculture today announced plans for
the Conservation Reserve Of the
Soil Bank for the 1860 crop season
This will be the fifth year Of the
Conservation Reserve program, I'M
der which farmers contract to with
draw general cropland for produc-
ton and protect it with conserva-
ton uses for a period of three to
ten years.
The 1860 Conservation Reserve
will be similar to the 1859 pro
gram. Principal changes have been
made in regulations relating to
publicly owned land. tenure Of own
ership. the method Of setting pay
nent rates. and the determination
of priorities when more applica-
tons are received than can be ac-
cepted.
Details In August
Detailed information as to the APP
plication of these and other changes
to individual farm situations will
not be available in county ASC Of
fees until mid August, since time
is required to instruct State and
county office personnel in the new
program.
The basic national per-acre rate
Of payment for 1860 will be Sl3 50,
the same as for 1889 The acreage
goal is approximately five million
acres for land to be put in the
program under contracts beginning
with 1860 crops This is the esti-
mated maximum additional acre
age that can be accommodated I'M
der the 1913 million annual pro
gram authorized by Congress fof
1860 This compares with approx
mately 10 million new acres placed
under contract in 1859.
approximately ten million acres
will also remain under Conserva-
ton Reserve contracts IN 1860 from
years previous to 1859. If farmers
contract for the expected FIVE mil
lion new acres IL 1850, the total
acreage in the program next yeal
Will be approximately q million

"RAISIN IN THE SUN"
OPENS IN PHILLY;
DIRECTED BY NEGROES

Philadelphia (ANP)-The stage
play "A Raisin In The Sun" which
stars Sidney Potter opened at the
Walnut street theatre here Mon
day. The play is unusual in that
it was written and is directed by
a Negro.
Written by Chicagoan Lorraine
Hansberry, Lloyd Richards the dir
ector can also take for any sue
cess of the play. Potter, who
needs no introduction to theatre
goers, is the actor who was told
he would never succeed in that
particular profession.
Poitier's last movie, THE De-
fiant Ones, was selected the best
picture of 1868 by the all-powerful
New Film Critics. For his dynamic
portrayal, Potter won the Silver
Bear award at a European film
festival. The award is the equival-
ent of the American Oscar.
"Raisin In The Sun" has a top
supporting cast which includes:
Claudia Mcneil, Ruby Dee, Diana
Sands, Ivan Divon, Louis Gessett
and John Fielder.
Sun" is scheduled for an early
opening on Broadway.
