accident which might have been

She and her daughter, Mrs. Ar

one ride around the field on the
tractor which Mr.. Strom was using
for the combine. Just a they were
to start, when Mr.. Strom had
jumped off the machine to make an
adjustment, the tractor jumped sud-

were thrown off.

To meet the goal of full war pro

workers and to mobilize all the food
resources of our country and the
United Nations for total war and to-
tai victory, we must:

United Nations which will:

Guiding storage facilities in the

2. Put all crops in their proper re-
lation, to war needs, eliminating nom
essential crops and emphasizing war
crops, in accordance with overall
United Nations requirements.
g. Re-shape U. S. production con-
trolls in line with these requirements,
making full use of price control in
centive payments and other produc-
ton aids for greater output of essen
tial crops.
A. Mobilize small farmers through
FSA and other aids, and farm labor
through improved working conditions
and social security measures, for war

The former could well be handled
by the existing AAA and FSA mach
inery of the Department of Agricul-
ture, thus being tied to agricultural
production goals and recommended
practices in regard to land use.
The latter could well be tied in with
a combined rationing and price con-
troll enforcement agency within the
OPA, thereby providing fully
rounded control over distribution op-
erations.

integrated at some point where pol

to price control, wages, and food pro-

At this point, there must be direct
labor representation to ensure that APP

argument for migrating agricultural
policies with the war mobilization pol
icies relating to the fighting fronts

farm LABOR
AVAILABLE
in SOUTH

The house committee investigating
the Farm Security Administration was
told that cotton production for 1914
ought to be cut in half and the FSA
program expanded to include million
more farm families in the south whose
labor is being wasted in piling up
surplus cotton crops.
II. l.. Mitchell, general secretary of
the Southern Tenant Farmers Union,
| from Memphis, Tennessee appearing
before the committee, headed by Con-
gresham Harold d. Cooley of North
Carolina charged that the "Agricul-
tural Junkers of the south represented
by the American Farm Bureau seek to
maintain a huge labor supply for ex-
ploitation on the cotton plantations
while the government imports foreign
workers, Mexicans, Bahamians and
Jamacians to work ON farm in other
areas where there are acute labor
shortages"
Mitchell also stated that there were
100000 southern farm families who
could be transferred to other areas to
engage in producing needed food
crops. Many of these families he said
did not work more than 80 days each
year and he estimated that on the
basis of employment in the production
of cotton 536,512,000 man hours were
wasted each year.
The sharecropper leader said that
his organization was vitality interested
in the continuation of the Farm Sc
curity Administration and claimed
that the program initiated by the gov
eminent in 1885 to aid tenants, and
sharecroppers was due in part to the
work of the Southern Tenant Farmers
Union which made America conscious
of one of it's most pressing problems.
He recounted experiences of men,
bers of his union with the Resettle-
ment Administration and said that the
basic difficulty of FSA was in carry
ing out projects and in assuming re-
sponsibility for mistakes made by
other agencies proceeding it.

FOOD: THE FORGOTTEN FRONT
An Analysis and a Program for the United States
and the United Nations

exist and grow more menac1ng, huge
pool of land, labor and resources is
being wasted in this country and
abroad, either by lying idle or by be-
ing put to raising non-essential crops.
In the United States, some three
million farmers and farm workers are
tied to producing cotton and tobacco,
in both of which we have a two-year
supply and no need for further out
put.
In addition, huge stocks of machin-
cry and supplies of fertilizer are also
being wasted on these two crops.
Cotton, in fact, is the most glazing
example of failure to convert from
peace to war needs.
In other countries of the United Ma
tions, in Latin and South America, in
Africa and in the Middle East, we are
failing to use resources of land and
manpower for production of essential
crops, while at the same time, we are
wasting resources in land, labor and
shipping on non-essential crops.
For example, the surplus of flaxseed
and corn in the Argentine is being
burned, while we press our own farm
ers to increase their output of both
these crops. Shipping space is wasted
in carrying food from this country to
North Africa and the Middle East
areas where we could produce enough
food to support our armed forces and
the people. Four-fifths of the food
supply of Hawaii is being shipped
from this country thus denying cargo
space to war materials. Perhaps the
most criminal shipping waste is i'll the
huge cargoes of nitrates sent from
Chile to the U. S., where they are
used to produce more cotton for the
warehouses.
In addition to relieving strain on
shipping and on food production in
the U. S. by making these countries
and territories self-sufficient we could
raise food abroad to add to the United
Nations stockpile. Meat production
could be expanded in the Argentine
and in Brazil. Large supplies of food
for export could be raised in Africa |
in Madagascar, in the Middle East |
and in southern Asia, and in the Car
ibbean countries - with proper plan
ming.
AS another result of our flat failure
to plan food production the United
States is falling down on its lend
lease commitments. For example,
shipments to the Soviet Union are far
below not only the requested amounts
but even below our promises On oc-
casion, our Soviet allies have received
some rather shocking substitutes-as
happened when linseed oil was sub
stituted for meat.

In 1912 we planted 16 million acres
less than in 1929. Half again as
much disable cropland lay idle in 1912

One fourth of our farms covering

aging production of non-essentials.
This involves "a cutting prices on
non-essential crops (2) raising prices
on essential crops when necessary to
secure added production.
Where there are price increases, a
national program of subsidy payments
must be used to protect the consumer
from increases in the cost of living.
Price control policies must be chang
ed from present methods which mere
ly result in increases in the cost of
living without effecting conversion of
agricultural production to essential
food crops. For example, cotton
prices are at the highest level in 20
years; and tobacco prices are the
highest in history Calves continue
to be slaughtered instead of fed to
heavier weights because the price diff
ferential between veal and beef favors
early slaughter.
Even more important, the present
drive of the Farm Bloc for general
increase in farm prices can only lead
to initiation. A program of subsidiza-

the working farmers who in repeated
polls have indicated that they do not
