SO. Side Business
Needs More Men
Like Rowland
by B. Walker

II there was a popularity contest
among the Pershing Road bust
ness men, | would unhesitatingly
choose Frank Rowland of the
Tuxedo Liquor Store, 5000 Indiana
Av., as the winner.
Mr.. Rowland is truly a remark
able, man in many ways. Not
many merchants care enough
about the welfare of their GUS
toners to refuse them liquor when
they are visibly intoxicated. i
have seen him do this, together
with many other kind deeds.
Frank Rowland really deserves
the patronage of the people and
has proven himself worthy Of any
compliments bestowed upon him.
We, OF the south side, are proud
Of him and wish there were others
of the business world who were
more like him. He is indeed an
asset to our community.

Parity is legal standard for

to be fair equally to farmers and
those who buy his products.
In other words, the 1850 crop
would be supported at about IS
cents a pound compared with the
1949 crop support of about %
cents. But this reduction would
be reflected Immediately in mar
ketS where cotton is sold for fu-
ture delivery.
Would Hit Other Commodities.
Any sharp downturn in cotton
could be expected to spread to
other major commodities. partly
because of the implication that
farmers as a whole are not in
favor of production controls.
Agriculture Department officials
said they were fully aware of
these economic possibilities. Never
theless, they expressed confidence
the necessary two-thirdS of the
farmers voting will mark ballots
in favor of controls.
This confidence was held despite
widespread farmer complaints
about the control program.
Acreage Reduced 23 Per Cent.
Specifically. growers are voting
on the proposition of whether they
favor marketing quotas. Under
quotas. growers would be free to
sell only that cotton grown on
acreages allotted them. Sales from
excess acres would be subject to a
penalty tax Of about Is cents a
pound.
The department has allotted 21,-
100000 acres for the 1850 crop.

planted this year. Complaints
have sprung up over division OF
the allotment among individual
growers. Some complain they have

per cent.
