Farm Boycott OF
Packers In u. S.
Is Predicted
See Retaliatory Meas ures
Against Firms Resisting
Process Tax

Retaliatory measures by farmers
against packers, millers and process
isors-including boycott of firms and cor
porations which have filed suit against
the AAA for the purpose of invalidat-
ing the process tax, have been predict
ed by Edward A. O'Neal, president of
the American Farm Bureau Fedora
Ition.
Pointing to reported action by farm
lers in boycotting a milling and grain
company at Wichita, Kansas, result
ing in withdrawal of suit, Mr.. O'Neal
said farmers throughout the United
States are seriously considering sim
lllar steps against some 300 packers,
especially the large corporations who
have set out to destroy organized
agriculture's recovery program by in
shutting suits against the processing
tax.
There are approximately 900 pack
ers throughout the United States, in
GLIDING many small though reputable
concerns" Mr.. O'Neal said, "who have
not Joined the larger corporations in
attacking the agricultural program,
and it seems only fair and ethical
that these packers should get all the
business that farmers can give them,
and that organized agriculture should
support its business allies and those
who cooperate with it wherever it is
physically possible to do So"
Mr.. O'Neal believes it would be an
excellent thing for farmers to inquire
before selling their livestock if the
firms to whom they expect to sell have
instituted suits. The same procedure,
he feels, could readily be followed in
selling grain and other farm produce.
"By their own actions" Mr.. O'Neal
declared, "these 300 corporations
dealing and processing grain, -four,
cotton and tobacco, have clearly dem
onstrated their opposition to the re-
covery program of agriculture and for
the nation as a whole. There is no
longer any Justification" he said, "for
agriculture to place any further con-
fidence in this group"
That the American farmers are in
fighting mood, as President O'Neal
states, is indicated also by the stand
taken by the Alabama Farm Bureau
at the closing session of its fourteenth
annual convention last week. Resolu-
lions were adopted declaring in favor
of any necessary and reasonable
changes that would assure the reten-
ton of the AAA, the Bankhead Cot
ton Act and the processing tax

BACKBONE OF TRANSPORT

In spite of all claims the contrary the railroads
remain the backbone of the nations transportation system
Other carriers may supplement the rails and perform
a valuable service. But it is limited service.
Trucks handle but fraction of the nations freight
and almost of its heavy transcontnenta freight
wheat, machinery, etc.
Buses can provide inexpensive and excellent short-hau
passenger servcebu the vast bulk of travellers still 90
by rail when embarldng lengthy journey
There definite limits to the arplane-its high cost
its relatively coverage of the nation its inability
to handle freight.
The waterways limited by geography and by sea-
In addition they have proven be constant money
losers and only be kept in operation by vast govern
mental subsidies.
The railroads touch every portion of the country They
provide service to remote areas tiny hamlets little known
farming and mining districts They regular sched
ules They provide maximum service at minimum cost
The railroads did much to bring civilization to the wilder
ness in the beginning of this nations expansonhey do
much to keep civilized places from degenerang back to
wilderness now.
In addition, the railroads our greatest tax
payers, employers purchasers of supplies They offer
gigantic market in normal times for lumber STEEL "copper"

with the parking problem. AS Thu
Sentinel predicated, sober second
thought" proved the best. We don't
believe there was any question Of
luminosity on either side. As for pub.
lie officials getting parking space
allotted them, we have public parking
space available within the towns
limits and we wish to emphasize the
fact that if more room is needed for
courthouse employees why not utilize
the ground back of the courthouse2
The men and women who do not need
their cars from 9 to are the very
ones who should not park on the main
street. In fact they should not park
anywhere on the streets surrounding
the courthouse. People coming in from
the country to do business here
whether it be with local merchants or
with county officials, shuld have room
to park their automobiles. There is no
real merit in the contention that coun-
ty officials should have privileged
parking space adjacent to the court
house.

Early Corner on Hog.

For the purpose Of getting up cor

ABUNDANT capital with their headquar'
ters for Ohio located at Columbus
Sending its agents practically every

er' the syndicate was rapidly gaining
control of all the young hogs in the
market The men behind the organi'
cation seemed to be making clean

discovered, they had secured control
OF almost every stock hog in Ohio as
Wen as In the other states.

Bag and Possession Limits Changed


The new regulations place the daily
bag limit on ducks at 10 in the ag-
gregate of all kinds and make the
possession limit conform to this daily
bay limit Changes, says the Biologic-
al Survey, represent a reduction of
in the daily bag and of IA in the pos
session limit of the common species,
but extra restrictions on certain
species have been removed.
Bag limits on geese and brant re-
main at A, but the possession limits
have been cut in half, now conform
ing to the bag limits.
The bag and possession limits on
other species affected by the regula-
lions are as follows: Coot, Is; jack
snipe, 10; sora, 25; rails Except sora
and coot), Is; woodcock, 4; mourning
dove, 20; band-tailed pigeon, 10.
Hunting Methods Restricted
The prohibition Of batting included
in the new regulations, says the
Bureau, applies to waterfowl and to
mourning doves and provides that
these birds "are not permitted to be
taken with or by aid of corn, wheat
oats or other grain or products there
of, salt or any kind of feed by whom
soever, or for whatsoever purpose
placed, deposited, distributed, scatter
ed, or otherwise put out in any en-
vironment whatsoever, whereby such
waterfowl or doves are lured, attract
ed, or enticed to the hunter"
No live decoys may be used in the
taking Of any species of waterfowl.
The regulation prescribing means
by which migratory game birds may
be taken limits the use of "a blind
boat or floating craft of any kind" to
locations not more than 100 feet
from the shore line as determined by
ORDINARY high tide or, where there is
continuous natural growth or vege-
tation extending beyond such shore
line, not more than 100 feet from
such growth or vegetation protruding
above the surface of the water at the
time of taking such BIRDS" In accord
ance with an exception, however,
scoters, or sea colts, may be taken in
coastal waters without reference to
the distance limitation.
This regulation prohibits entirely
the taking of migratory game birds
"from or by aid of an automobile,
airplane, sinkbox (battery), power
boat, sailboat, any boat under sail,
any floating craft or device of any
kind towed by power boat or sailboat."
A limitation of weapons that may
be used provides that the birds may
be taken with shotgun only, not
larger than No. 10 gauge, fired from
the shoulder" Incorporating the pro-
visions of President Roosevelt's Pro-
clamation providing a 3-shell limit
last February, this regulation also
provides that the birds "shall not be
taken with or by means of any auto
matic-loading or hand-operated re-
peating shotgun capable of holding
more than three shells the magazine
of which has not been cut off, or
plugged with 1-piece metal or wood
en- filler incapable of removal through

NEXT WEEK THE SENTINEL OBJ
serves its 80th anniversary. This takes
one back to 1856 when men were men
and women were sometimes found get
ting out the country paper when the
old man was unavailable. This hap
pened twice when the founder of The
Sentinel, Matthew Fields, got too gay
with the Union forces and woke up in
the old Capitol Prison. Mrs. Fields,
who died just few years ago at the
ripe old age of 1O2, carried on nobly
while Mr.. Fields was languishing in
a Federal jail because of his pro-
Inounced Confederate sympathies. The
Unionists loved to drop around when
ever they got the chance and pie type.
But is didn't stop The Sentinel. Ger
tain people have lately tried to stop
the publication by crafty, post-bellum
methods and they will find Uncle Mat
thew's ghost still haunting the old
building on the corner of Montgomery
avenue and Washington street.
