BREAD and BUTTER

Thousands of citizens go to mar
ket looking fer bread, butter, margarine
and come away as much discouraged
as the lady who went to the cupboard
and found it bare. That is the index to
a big story which involves the activl-
ties and affairs Of the Office OF Price
Administration and associated govern
ment "brass hats" in the Adminlstra-
ticn. The indications are that in the not
very distant future the industrial or
CARNATIONS and dealers will again be able
to set prices on the goods they sell. At
the present time OPA is maintaining
it's own self-pricing plan. but there are
a dozen or more important industries
that have been released from the govern
ment formula. Since the country is
''inflated" right now a lot Of these
brainy chaps in the Government are
switching around to the idea that the
country may eventually restore the old
system Of open competition.

Your FARM
AGENT SAYS
BY QUINERLY
(By Charles D. Raper)
assistant County Agent

| (ASSlSCanC county agent
Friday July u, this week tobacco
growers will make just about the
most important decision of their
lives 80 far as their financial future
is concerned. They will not only
say with their ballots whether or
not they wish to abolish acreage con-
trcl; but also whether or not theT
want to release sizable PEI cent
o. their present acreage (when CO. :
troll again becomes inevitable to
rev farm and n4W areas for ell
time.
All new growers, wherever located,
will forever share in the total allot-
ment and present growers lose by
the same ratio, if control is tenn
,porarily abolished.
This referendum is an example OF
democracy at work. 1t can not
work best if only a small percentage
of the eligible voters take time to
vote. How one votes is only the
voters responsibility; but his failure
to vote is everybody'S concern. II
quotas are continued by two thirds
of half the qualified voters voting,
as may probably be the case, we will
have control by a minority, which
is not a healthy or desirable condi-
ton for the future.
Personally, if I were eligible to
vote, I would let nothing keep me
from sharing in the making of so
great decision. And I would be
afraid not to vote for the contin-
uation of tobacco acreage control.
Memories of the past Q933-34 and
80 especially overproduction, low
prices, unpaid debts, mortgaged farms
etc, would stay my hand ii it were
about to cast negative vote.
Acreage control has put tobacco
production on a safe and profitable
basis. Experience has proven that
it can be made to work with degree
OF efficiency that approaches fair
ness to all. 1t provides both for
gradual adjustment upward of small
allotments and the taking care of
new deserving growers. -
1t has changed tobacco growers
from competitors to cooperators. 1t
has adjusted supply to demand and
will continue to do so. Many grow
ers now have substantially bigger al
lotments and all growers produce
higher per acre yield than when
control started.
The experience Of 1899, when con-
troll had been abolished, thoroughly
demonstrated what might be eX-
pected in 1947. without control. Prices
not only dropped from % cents in
1888 to ii cents in 1889, but it
required several years of depressed
prices to work off the surplus Great
ed by the loss of quotas for one
year. With the continuation of con-
troll, We have the assurance of gov
eminent loans up to 80 per cent of
parity which at present would be
about 80 or "a cents average. If
CONTROL is discontinued, so will be
the loan or the price flooring.
Friday, July 18th, today, is not
only day of decision for tobacco

1t will recalled that Mr.. Morgenhau favored, among

But Mr. Landon contends that the Morgenthau plan is
IN operation and implies that it is the behind

little of the grain husk and to drink alcoholic bever

Apparently Mr. Landon is intent upon torturng tragic

LAM 1 MY BROTHERS KEEPER?
New York Daily Mirror

New York Daily Mirror
Long before the United States en-
tered the war, Herbert Hoover, out
of his vast experience, called atten-
ton to the impending starvation OF
Europe.
He organized the relief of Finland
when that country was attacked by
Russia while Stain was allied To
Hitler.
He conducted a nationwide APP
zeal that food be sent to the inno-
cent women and children of con-
quered countries during the early
war years.
He called attention 70 the fact
that whereas bombs and bullets
main and kill, starvation leaves
heritage of twisted minds and
broken spirits, of distorted human
beings who, having no better
food, live on hate and revenge.
At the end of the military phases
of this continuing war, Herbert
Hoover wrote and spoke and agitat-
ed for the organization of the distri-
button of the food of the world as
famine impended.
He was always rejected by those
in power.
The Russians hated his inde-
pendence.
The British opposed his plans.
Roosevelt feared his compe-
tence.
Millions upon this earth are
now starving.
1t is absurd to suggest that one
man alone can solve the food prob
lem of this desolate world. But II
is correct to say that from the be-
ginning of the war until today the
food problem has not been solved
that it constantly grows worse
that more people are starving; that
today the entire human race is ir
u food crisis.
There have already been 10000
900 casualties in this war. Do the
politicians wish to double thai
figure by starvation?
Mr.. Truman apparently believes
that he can feed the world by
making American bread darker
and by re-establiShing the ration
ing of meat in this country. That
is one Of those empty lmprOvisa-
tiOns that in the end means moth
ing.
1T is like substituting a jazz jam
session for a serious minded,
sober, consideration of the prob
lem
UNRRA has not succeeded as the
American relief succeeded during
and after the last war. Those who
apologize for UNRRA insist that the
problems are more complex, the
tasks more stupendous.
True, but that does not justify
muddling, bungling, petty politics

When a Kansas editor printed an

which many persons have long been
nebulously aware-that the appear
ance OF this member of the thrush
family, since it resides in very WIN
try climate all year, Is not sign
of spring.
So long as rood is obtainable,
robins seem to prefer towns and
cities. But when deep snow covers
the ground they wing their way to
farmyards,-and the grain thrown
oft for poultry. When these birds
return to urban areas 1t is sign of
warmer weather, but by no means
an indication that the growing,
greening season is on the way.
Just how the robin acquired his
reputation as springs advance
agent isn't clear. But the fact that
he is frequently a false prophet"
that his appearance is often fol-
lowed by the bitterest weather OF
the year, should not cause him to
'lose face, especially when hui
mans, not robins, were responsible
for giving him his reputation. In
any case, he is one of the most
friendly of Americas birds.
