Thirty Families Show In.
creased Profits From
Farm Operation

A h1ghlght OF the recent meeting
at Elizabethtown of Bladen county
farm families who are purchasing
their farms through FSA's farm
ownership program was the pres
entation of paid in full'' notes
and mortgages to five families,
three white and two colored, by
State Senator James H. Clark.
Although a family has 40 years
in which to repay farm owner
ship loan none of these five paid-up
families had participated in the
farm ownership program more
than five years. The increase in
net worth of the families is an in
dex to their rate Of progress under
FSA's system of credit combined
with teaching and guidance, said
Supervisor Julian F. Keith.
Big Gains
In the white family group Gaddie
Bordeaux Joined the program with
a net worth Of 1910 but when he
completed payment in 1945 his net
worth of $491 and was worth So, 227
when he paid out. John Long, broth
er of Gordon, had a similar ex-
perience, starting with a net of 1924
and paying out worth $9,197. T. B.
Campbell started with 1926 net
worth and paid out with a net fig
ure of $3.50. James B. Robinson
paid his loan to a balance less than
So and left this amount outstanding
in order to have insurance cover
age to the expiration Of his con-
tract.
Negroes Progress
The colored families also made
outstanding progress, said Mr..
Keith. w. G. Cheek started with a
net worth of 81 ,624 which increas.
ed to 81, 1853 at the time he paid out.
Walter Moore started with $1,010
and paid out worth $8,145.
The progress of Mr.. and Mrs.
Bordeaux in living better while
they farmed better is indicative OF
the entire group, the supervisor
stated. This family canned 46
quarts Of food the year before they
joined the FSA program. In 1945
they canned 1928 quarts, cured 1900
pounds of meat and $50 pounds Of
lard, owned two registered Jersey
cows and had m hand $1,387 worth
Of feed.
Family Averages Up
Of the 30 families participating
in the Farm Ownership program
in Bladen county the Is with the
lowest gross income in 1915 receiv-
ed an average of $1.896 and used
81 per cent Of it for farm operation,
80 per cent for family living, and
% per cent in payments on their
farm loans. The Is families in the
highest income group averaged 49,.
OILS and spent 38 per cent in operat-
ing their farms, 81 per cent for
family living. and rs per cent re-
paying farm ownership loans.
High Income Group
The high income group spent one
per cent more of their gross in
come in farm operation than the
low group, or about $1150 compar-
ed to about $500, but the results
was an average increased income
of over $1100, and a loan repay.
ment averaging about $3.50 against
about $500 for the low group. The
high group spent an average Of
1888 for family living against ar
average Of $606 for the low group

SlNTY.EIGHT PIECES OF
COPPER

In the massive volumes of laws
that comprise the records of the
Congressional Library and which
govern the American people is Pub
lie Law 144. better termed Public
Disgrace 1896" Few voters know
the meaning of this law nor the eff
feet upon those to whom it per-
tains. Those subject to PL 144 are
veterans of the armed forces. Only
by the grace of God this law ap-
plies not to your son. husband or
brother. but to the veteran you sell
dom. or never. see-the disabled
American veterans. those who are
destined to spend months. years or
the remainder of their lives cOnfin-
ed TO a hospital bed or ward.
The pertinent wOrdage of PL 144
is written in fewer words than the
number of the law itself. The ben
efits derived by the disabled vcter-
an is even fewer than the number
OF words themselves. The text of
this law simply states: Where any
disabled veteran having neither
wife. child nor dependent parent is
being furnished hospital treatment
by the United States or any politi-
cal subdivision thereof. any pen
sion or retirement pay shall not
exceed 500 month If the vetcr-
ans disability is non-service con-
nected he shall receive not more
than IS a month
While Congress spends billions
for war relief and loans the tax
payers money in astronomical fig
ures to foreign governments. the
disabled American veterans. those
who sacrificed all but life itself
are the benefactOrs of law which
provides them with $50 per month
SIS cents per day. Public Law IA
provides the disabled veteran with
less money than International Law
provides for German and Japanese
prisoners of war
The 6S cents n day received by
the veterans is little more than Gig
arctic money and fails to provide
them with enough to- obtain the few
pleasures of life they are still cap
able of enjoying. They are not
only a victim of war but of flag

Peanut Industry
Turns A Corner

The Nations peanut problem is
d far cry from the problems of yes
teryears. Today peanuts rank as
one of the ten most valuable field
crops in the L. S. Farmers have
been selling their crop for more
than one hundred and fifty million
dollars year. And of course a
good many million dollars worth
never go to market-they're used
for seed and eaten by the people
who produce them and by their
livestock But aside from what
stays on the farm. the peanut
growers have been realizing four
times as much cash for their crop
AS they were getting before the
war The cash returns in recent
years have been ten times as much
as in 1892. Between 1892 and the
beginning of the war. the improve
ment was gradual.
rant case of neglect and false econ
Omy on the part of those RESPONSE
Bile for their well-being and care.
To rectify this disgraceful con-
ditiOn. The American Legion has
called upon Congress for immedi-
ate passage of Its sponsored bill.
II. r. 535. which would provide
that a veterans compensation, pen
sion or retirement pay shall not be
reduced during his disqualification
or dOmOcilary care. The Legion
bill seeks TO provide the veteran
that to which he is entitled and at
tempts to remove the stigma of
discrimination.
Thousands of disabled American
veterans are only receiving the dis
graceful payment of $50 per month:
yet these are the men who sacrificed
the most. They are the blind, the
amputees and the paralyzed. These
are themen who carried the flag

four and a half years Of war to
return disabled and to receive for
their reward sixty-eight pieces of
copper less than a penny and q
half per day for each State they
protected.
