Potato Price Supports
To Be Ended in Areas
Rejecting Controls
BY the Assoeiofsd Press

The Agriculture Department is
preparing to withdraw price sup
ports for Irish potatoes in areas
where producers refuse to accept
production and marketing con-
trolls, Secretary Brannan told Con-
gress yesterday.
Growers of early potatoes in
California, who have rejected S0ch
controls. would be first affected.
1t cost 1924, 100000 to carry out
the potato price support program
last year. Mr.. Brannan told Chair
man Elmer Thomas of the Senate
Agriculture Committee in an
nouncing his decision. Mr.. Bran
nan said the goal of his move is
ito avoid waste and loss to the
Government.
Condition Proposed.
I'VE propose" Mr.. Brannan
wrote, that the availability of
price supports be conditioned upon
the establishment by producers of
a marketing order, wherever feasi-
BILE, because we are resorting to
every possible authority now pro-
vided the Department of Agri-
culture by the Congress to bring
the production and marketing of
potatoes reasonably in line with
consumption
The Secretary said industry
groups, including the National
Potato Council and "a large ma
tional farm organization" have
urged the adoption of marketing
orders and agreements by all i'm
portant commercial potato produc-
ing areas as prerequisite for
price support.
Potato marketing agreements
and orders are currently in effect" "
Mr.. Brannan said, lin seven des-
ignated production areas which
include 81 per cent of the total
1o48 crop and 81 per cent OF that
late crop, and other areas are TAX
ing steps to put such programs
into operation. 1t would be in
equitable to the growers in these
marketing agreement areas to con-
tinue price support in the nom
agreement production areas"
Rejected by Growers.
Mr.. Brannan told Senator
Thomas that growers of early po-
tatoes in California have rejected
a proposed Federal marketing
agreement. AS a result, Mr.. Bran
nan says he intends to deny Gov
ernment price supports to those
growers next year and thereafter
until they accept the marketing
and planting controls.
Up to this years crop, potato
prices were supported by loans,
purchases OF other Government
activity at 80 per cent of parity
q figure calculated to give farm
ers purchasing power equal to that
they enjoyed in past favorable
period.
Under the Aiken-Hope farm
support program, generally applic-
able next January l, but now in
effect on potatoes, they could be
supported at from so to 80 per
cent of parity. Mr.. Brannan fixed
the support at so per cent and re-
duced acreage allotments.
Cost S224,000,OO0.
Despite this Mr.. Brannan noted,
there was a surplus of 133.600,000
bushels in 1948 which cost the
Government $224,000,000 in sup
ports. He has estimated this
years crop will cost the tax
payers between $50,OO0,000 and
500, 100000.
Mr.. Brannan told Senator
Thomas he is convinced that he
has authority under the existing
farm law to remove supports If

ing educators throughout the
nation today IN placing a great
deal of stress O n the need of
practical education as c~ontrasted
with the old traditional Three r.
method which held top priority in
the educational system for a
number Of years.
The thought that college train
ing should be more closely relat-
ed to post-college living was ad-
vanced here a few weeks ago by
presidents and visitors attending
the Land Grant College Presidents
meeting. The same trend of
thought was emphasized more re-
Gently in a survey made of the
American Association of College
Women.
One of the leaders of industry
who addressed the college presi-
dents on the possibility Of placing
more Negroes in industry, stated
that the great bulk Of jobs exist
in the middle brackets requiring
only a high school education. He
stressed the necessity Of training
young people in machine OPP
Grafton, tipping and other skills
which will best fit into such open
ings.
Another spokesman for a large
industry told the college heads
that they should chit like a SON.

resentation in industrial jobs.
"But Negroes should stop hitting
to get their young boys and girls
in the top jobs. We don't ask
that for white boys and girls. W.
only ask that they be put in jobs
that have no ceiling and let them
go up according totheir ability"
Negro prospective industrial
workers should be given a tense
course in psychology, suggested
one Of the speakers. Stressing the
necessity of being able to get a
long with their fellow workers, he
added that so much discrimination
should not be emphasized. People
should not go around with "chips
on their shoulders. Negro work
ers should not expect, or should
not be given, any special favors.
They should be, and should expect
to be, accorded the same treat
ment as all other workers without
thought Of race
One speaker charged the Negro
colleges with turning out too
many specialists and not enough
really trained leaders.
The need of practical training
in the agricultural field was ex-
pressed on the last day of the
conference when the question was
raised regarding employment for
agricultural specialists upon their

partments Of our colleges?" ask
ed one Of the presidents.
Ross w. Newsome, state agent
Of the Virginia agricultural extern
sion service, Virginia State Col
lege, replied that jobs were avail
able for extension workers who
actually know what they are
doing. The greattrouble with most
boys who come out of college

He suggested that men who have
had experience as extension agents
should be sent back to school for
special training, then employed as
agriculture instructors in the col
leges. With teachers who have
practical knowledge of the subject
including both theory and expert
ence. Newsome feels that more
boys might be able to get better
training, thus be better prepared
to fill jobs offered them after
graduation.
A. H. Fuhr, assistant to the
governor, Farm Credit Bureau,
U. S. Department of Agriculture,
agreed with Newsome that many
agriculture teachers knew how to
prune grapes, castrate pigs and
bull calves, and caponize ROSTERS
on the blackboard, but they know
absolutely nothing about actually
doing the work outside of the
class room.
The same trend of thought was
conveyed in a survey Of 10000
members of the. American Associ-
alton Of College Women. Some
of these college graduates criti-
cized the college courses as being
"too academic" and " too far re-
moved from reality. Some stress

BIG DIFFERENCE

Long and expensive runways are necessary for big
commercial air linersbut the average landing fee they
pay is not much than you pay for leaving
in downtown parking lot The rest of the cost is born
by the taxpayers
pay nothing for the privilege of such The cost of
provements- amounting in many to hundreds of
thousands of dollars me-is borne wholly by the tax
payers.
When railroads call attention to such situations, the
ronder frequently that this is the sort of thing
which done for railroads in the early days. Such
statement is based upon misunderstanding of what hap
pened.
The form of public aid most frequently referred to
the grant of lands made by the Federal government
per cent of the mileage of the railroads of the United
States received such Federal land grants-and
th per cent the grants gifts In return for
them, the railroads required to haul government
freight and mail at reduced rates Before these
reductions to end in 946 the railroads had paid
to the government in reduced rates almost ten times
much as the original value of the lands granted.
This entirely different kind of transaction from
the present day expenditures of taxpayers money for the
benefit of some forms of commercial transportation.
