Agricultural Economics, reported
the Ohio price was about l39 per-
cent higher than the average
price during the 1859 period.
This means, Smith explains,
that Ohio land which cost Sl00
per acre 10 years ago would now
command figure of about S239
per acre on the average.
Reports received by Smith in
dicate that sales of farm land
have been moving slower the
past few months than in the pre-
vious 6 to II months. More diff
ficulty has been encountered, too,
in some sellers getting the orig
inal asking price on their prop

Farm land prices go up and
down, the economist points out,

similar fluctuations in farm in

The statement issued following
a regular meeting of the board in
Columbus pointed out:
Would Lose Money
1--WE still remember the evil
dences of uneconomic production
of farm products caused by some
wartime incentive programs.
Our family-Sized Ohio farms
are small in comparison to those
in other sections of the country.
Our farmers cannot afford to take
their high priced land out of pro-
duction. Yet this is the certain
future they face if 80 percent of
parity is the basis for farm price
supports. Every Ohio farmer
stands to lose money if acreage
controls are imposed.
Farmers must be assured ade-
quate income with fair returns
on their capital investments. The
best way to reach these goals is
through continued production in
a free enterprise economy Ohio
farmers want to produce abun-
dantly and controls do not con-
tribute to this abundance. They
do not want to return to the days
when the Federal government
told every farmer how much he
could plant and how much he
could sell"
Would Destroy Independence
The board, in its statement,
recognizes that farmers are a,
minority group and that the Agri-
culture Act recognizes the needs
of consumers as we'll as the rights
of producers" 1t praises the safe
guards of the Act which reduces
production in time of surpluSeS
and automatically becomes a sup
port program without additional
legislation.
Economic dependence upon the
government by the farmer will
ultimately destroy his independ-
ence," the statement concludes
'We favor using our own efforts
to the fullest extent possible be-
fore coming to the government
for assistance. Through our CO.
operatives and our farm organi-
cations there is much that we can,
and must do for ourselves" F"

EQUAL REPRESENTATION

WE IN ST. CROX often have reason to complain be-
cause OF the way we are Stunned and pushed around, and this
among other things, shows itself in the matter of appointments
70 committees and commissions. For the past several years
these appointments have been SO consistently unbalanced that
they can no longer be tossed off as condolences. In many of
the appointments, in fact in almost every instance within the
past several months the greater number has represented St.
Thomas. This means that in any voting, those from St. Croix
might as well decline, since such a vote would mean little.
1T SHOULD NOT be misunderstood that we are calling
tor differences, and that there is any thought whatever that
overall committees should divide themselves according to Is
lands. Such committees or commissions are for the purpose
OF laying down policies and/or details in matters pertaining
to the entire group. Yet, because there are differences, and
that certain matters which automatically favor one island will
not favor the other, it should be the policy Of the Government
to distribute membership on such committees and groups
more equitably. What, for example, if a matter arose which
favored the commercial aspects of one island, but worked
+. against the other, which is more agricultural In such a case
the unbalanced power of the vote would be felt.
ONE OF OUR policies which we have followed strictly
is that these islands, forming a political unit, should work to-
gether to the greatest advantage of all, but this can only be
done only if and when each and every segment subordnates
its thinking to the greater good. For many years Congressman
were often confused as to why there were 2 treasures and .
of everything else, and it was not until these late wears that
the basic reasons were brought out. An example of what di-
vded representation will bring about was brought out in a
recent visit of a Councilman to Washington. After pleading
tor unified support of the bill creating a resident commission
er, this Councilman went into a plea for more power for the
immediate section he represented. Newspapers en- the main
land treated the matter as if the entire Virgin Islands group
was in especial need of that power. And it is perfectly natur-
, 1949-09-21

raj, that charity beginning at
home, the interests closest to
home will be sought out first.
1t is for this reason that repre-
sentation must be more even
ly distributed.
WE hope that in the future
these overall committees and
commissions will see more
even membership.

torial opinion of The Arizona Sun.
The Editor.l
Hello, there, here ana everywhere.
Two persons have been hired as
clerks in bank in Los Angeles. I
wonder just what would happen if
some one applied at one of the
banks for job, as clerk in our
beautiful valley of the sun. would
if thought I was capable of count
ing much money. However I know
there are many such smart young
things who are capable of handling
such a job-it wouldn't hurt to try
anyway.
While the "Civil Rights" sermon
is being preached from every house
top, in some form or another, some
folk see the real good in it, others
seem to see only the intermarriage
angle. When the subject is brought
up, the question is usually asked,
Would you marry a Negro, or
would you be satisfied to see your
daughter or son marry a Negro?
If you are broad enough to an
Swer in the affirmative you are
called communist or a N lover.
1t is generally assumed that inter-
marriage is not wanted. The poll
is usually among the ignorant
whites, why not take poll among
the Negroes and see what they
have to say about it? If this was
done I think the world would see
and know it isn't intermarriage
we want but equal opportunities
in all lines and problems. In our
estimation we have some of the
most beautiful women in the world
and some of the most charming.
Others must think so besides me
because all races have been vieing
for our women ever since they
were brought over from their ma
tive country.
On the other hand I defy any per-
son living or dead who will or can
show me a woman of any race who
will not take the second lOk at one
of our tall, tan and terrific hand
some men. Color has no relation
to intelligence-the cultural, intel
lectual and economic accomplish
ments have been as outstanding
among Negroes as among other
races. The Negro race is mixed
yes, legitimately and illegitimately,
from the days of slavery, hence!-
The Negro isn't to blame, it is the
ones who are in authority and are
supposed to be superior. The Ne
gro knows he and his family are
just as good as anyone else and
are entitled to anything this good
old U.S.A. has to offer-the land of
the Free and the home of the
brave, we have been taught.
