BIG AND LITTLE FARMS

VXTHILE agreeing completely with Senator Van
denberg that the AAA crop benefit payments
should be made public we can't agree with the in
ference that there is something wicked about max
ing large payments to large landowners.
There is, it seems, such inference in the SEN
ators suggestion that the publicity be limited to crop
checks of $4,000 or more.
But after ALL what were the purposes of the
AAA program? They were to wipe out price-de-
pressing crop supuses to regulate production so as
TO maintain even balance between supply and
demand, and to build up farm purchasing power.
In those detectives the AAA succeeded How
BY making individual contracts with individual land
owners to cooperate in national program of pro-
duction whereby each landowner agreed to limit his
own acreage in certain surplus afflicted crops
For example, farmer who had been planting,
40 acres in cotton agreed to cut his production Is
per cent. The AAA agreed to pay the farmer $3.50
an on the 10 taken out of cotton produc-
ton Farmers benefit check $685.
big landowner-say insurance company
cultivating 10000 acres of the type of cotton
land entered into the same type of agreement with
the AAA, taking 10000 out of production for
the same $8.60-an-acre stipulation, and received a
benefit check totang $4,000. That's 1000 times as
much the small farmer got But how could it
be otherwise?
The big landholder's 10000 acreage was capable
of producing 1000 times as much cotton as the
small farmers 40 acres capable therefore of adding
1000 times much to the surplus and his agree
ment to cooperate was worth 1000 times more to
the success of the balanced production program.
Publicity on the larger crop benefit checks should
be very helpful in showing how far the process of
bankruptcy had gone in concentrating land owner
ship in the hands of banks and insurance companies
But it is fault of the AAA that when it started to
deal with the farm surplus problem, it found small
farmers already snHeezed out and the mortgage
handling agencies already in control of big blocks
of land.
AS the AAA moves to its new soil conservation
program, the big landholders will continue to get
the big checks It can't be otherwise. For mis-
used land will erode just as fast whether it is owned
by Wall Street bank or a one-mule farmer.

A WOMAN'S VIEWPOINT
BY Mrs. Walter Ferguson

THE redbud blooms again. Down in the hollow
II near our window stands small, sturdy tree
Each spring we have watched the first blossoms ap-
pear and always they come when the landscape Is
only busted with green Stark grim cold with as
yet no hint of the fierce life within, two giant ems
guard the redbud, who haunts her new dress like a
little girl running beside austere elders
1t seems strange that the redbud could be alive
when much of the world is dead. Yet from
this time, its Towering will have special meaning
1t will speak of the Inducements of goodness that
flow beneath all our conings and gongs, and of
the tenderness which lives under the cover of our
sefshness and strife.
There seasons when the best instincts of
the heart burst into life, triumphant as the bloom
ing of the redbud AS our tree grew vivid this
spring. letters have come from every corner of the
country. From old friends and from new, from
happy people and miserable people, and from men
and women upon whom our eyes have never rested
but who will now be part of because across the
miles their thoughts have embodied us for a little
while
Surely the sustaining power Of loving kindness is
great. Courage" others cry to us. when We most
need courage. And we set ourselves to learn the
hard lesson since somebody expects to do so. We
can not let down those who believe in us.
But oh, my friends never stay your heart or hand
from writing words of comfort to the stricken.
From every name inscribed on the briefest message
there comes strength upon which the selhshly
sorrowful fasten and feed.
Life is so short and we could make it so lovely
there is SO little time to be kind.
Even in these drab days then, our hearts rejoice
Ike the redbud tree because there are SO many,
many people who have taken time 60 express the
tendyr sympathy they feel for suffering.

XX7HEN you eat vegetables, now
w adays, you have a vide choice
in meeting the demands of appe-
tite, decorative appeal, food quail
tiles, and many other factors.
When you remember that the
average person used to be satisfied
with potatoes and an occasional
green vegetable, and that today
there is such tremendous variety
of vegetable substances, you can
see how important it is to have a
proper understanding of what the
various food substances contain.
The vegetables you eat represent
different portions of the plant from
which they come. Some are roots
of the plant and grow beneath the
ground. such as potatoes. Others
are stems of the plant, such as
celery and rhubarb. In other in
stances, the leaf is involved, as in
the case of spinach and lettuce.
Sometimes the flower is eaten, as
caulif1ower and broccoli. Tomatoes
OF course, are the fruit of the
plant, and beans and peas represent
seeds.
The vegetable industry provides
! rather inexact reports on con-
| sumption and total value of the
products concerned, but figures in
dictate that we eat about 260 pounds
OF fresh vegetables and 40 pounds
of canned vegetables, per person
per year, in the United States.

Not from West Virginia, where it has heen

which make no provision for compromising industry's
siIicosis victims.

action on resolution to permit completion of the

A GREAT deal of the increased
4 n use of vegetables has de-
pended on the development of meth
DDS of canning and shipment. Thus
we learn that shipments of green
peas increased in IL years from 691
to nearly 5000 carloads a year, and
shipments of lettuce from around
$4,000 to $4,000 carloads in the pc
Rod from 1920 to 1880.
There can be no doubt that this
increased use of vegetables has been
beneficial to the nutrition and
health of the American people.
Vegetables now are available not
only in fresh and canned form, but
also dried and frozen. Moreover
the canned vegetables are modified
in the manner of preparation, SO
that they may be served whole or in
slices or finely pulverized, as in
sieved vegetables for invalids ano
children.
Obviously, if we are to eat these
foods with clear understanding OF
their uses in the diet, it is i'm
portant that we have some knowl-
edge OF what they provide when
fresh, canned, cooked or prepared
in other ways. In general, how
ever, vegetables are used primarily
for their carbohydrate and mineral
salts, the vitamins and the cellulose
or fiber that they provide.
