IA Nation of


Are the people of this nation be-
coming plain, ordinary panhandle
ers - beggars from government ?
States. cities, towns and individ-
uals have their hands out for Fed.
eral aims.
BY accepting these aims, they
are gradually giving up individual
civic and states rights and build
ing a Federal overlordship that
will make them mere pawns of
government.
We like to talk about our demo-
crazy and pity the people of coun-
tries where liberty has been crush
ed, when we ourselves are giving
up our freedom for mess of Fed
eral handouts" that are mortgage
ing our future for generations to
come.
Civic organizations have become
beggars, great industries have be-
come beggars, cities and states
have become beggars at the public
trough. Then after accepting pub
lie charity and injecting govern
ment into their local and personal
affairs, they cry because govern
ment in business is being so rapid
ly extended that 1t Is wiping out
free enterprise.
Don't blame anybody but your
self when you feel the jaws of Of
ficialdom close on you, If you have
countenanced or accepted Federal
aims for projects which would
have been handled by courageous,
intelligent and self-respecting cid-
zens in the past.
This country hasn't changed
fundamentally in spite of all the
theoretical prattle to the contrary;
opportunities are still countless for
young and old.
What has changed is our back
bone and our pride. We are be-
coming a nation of "sissies" who
cry for help at the slightest pro-
vocation and want to be coddled
as incompetents.
BY our actions we are admitting
that we are no longer capable of
self government or private man.
agement of our own affairs. We
are asking for political dictator
ship and we will have no one but
ourselves to blame if we get 1t.
Every time there is some tough
nut to crack, we now beg for Fed
eral funds to care for the prob
lens or losses involved, which, in
most cases, are due to our own
laziness, greed or neglect. We
want the Federal government to
do our irrigating; we want the
government to control our crops;
we want the government to build
our dams; we want the govern
ment to build our houses; we want
the government to carry our in
surance; we want the government
to loan us money; we want the
government to build our schools,
bridges, parks, etc, and do every
thing that we as free men and
women used to take pride in do
ing ourselves. And then we cry
our eyes out about taxes and new
laws, regulations and restrictions.
Anyone with a thimbleful of
brains knows that when you bor-
row money, the lender gets in the
drivers seat. When you become
beggar, the giver controls your
actions. When you beg or borrow
from the government, you give up
your birthright as free citizen
you begin to exist for the govern
ment, rather than the government
existing for you.

farm use and greatly improve farm
family living in the county.
The conservation payments are
made for diverting acreage from
cotton production to soil-conserving
crops and for carrying out %soil-build-
ing practices.
The county agent said the null
tiple benefits flowing from the ex-
penditure of AAA payments could
be seen in better business in the
city as well as better farming in
the county. He said the AAA farm
program with it's system Of govern
ment payments and soil-building
practices is helping to establish a
new and more productive and stable
agriculture for the benefit of both
farm and city people.

a continuing policy to place more en-
phasis on soil conservation, makes
available a greater share of the funds
to farmers who carry out approved
soil-building practices" State AAA
Administrator T. NJ. Patterson said.
The 1941 rate for computing the
soil-building allowance on cropland IN
excess of the cotton acreage allot-
ment will be 20 cents per acre. The
1910 rate, originally announced at
20 cents, was reduced to 63 cents be-
the program.
Under the agricultural conserva-
ton program, a soil-building allow
ance is set up for each farm on the
basis of the farms cropland, COM
mercial orchard acreage, and nom
crop p~astureland. The participating
farmer may earn his farms allow
ances by carrying out approved soil
building practices.
The national goal, for all soil
depicting crops is unchanged from
the 100000, 900 to 2S5,OOo'oo
acres established for 1910.
The rate of payment on cotton Will
be slightly lower in l94l. The ne"
rate will be 1877 cents per pound IN
comparison to this years rate OF
LA cents. The 1910 rate for cotton
was originally announced at 1.5 cents
hut II was reduced 10 percent be
cause of increased participation.
Lowering the rate on cotton from
1.44 to 1877 cents, according TO
Washington authorities, is due to a
large part of the funds being made
available for conservation practices,
and because of increased cotton
Yields. The normal cotton yield for
194l has been estimated at 3
pounds .as compared to 23O pounds
for 1910.
As in previous years, the payments
are contingent upon the $500, ZOO, 900
annual appropriation authorized IN
the Agricultural Adjustment Act OF
1888, and the rates are subject TO
revision upward or downward by ~
percent as an adjustment for par
ticipating when final payments are
made. The conservation payments for
cotton will be supplemented by pari-
ty payments from a separate appro-
priation of 1912, 100000 already
made.
