Pledges Formation
OF Farm Commission

We will establish a bi-parti-
san farm commission to review
existing farm programs and to
help plan for the future. And
when I say bipartisan, mean
bipartisan. On this commits
sion will be outstanding farm
leaders of the South.
But I don't believe any more
than you do, that price sup
ports alone make a complete
farm program. Price support
programs-like many other Fed
eral programs-should be re-
garded as floors. They give
farmers protection. But they
don't enable farmers to reach
the major objective. That OBJ
jective is a fair share of the
national income for agriculture.
To work toward this goal, our
main reliance must be on the
initiative, energy and ability of
our citizens as they are ex-
pressed through our private en-
terprise system. The Govern
ment can and should help farm.

and ,ever-mounting taxes which
are the inevitable partners of
imitation in the hands of an ir-
responsible administration.
Southern farmers. like any
one else, want to call q halt to
all this. They want a change.
They can help get that change
on November 4.
Southern farmers are conA
cerned with the future for still
other reasons. They greatly
need bold. imaginative research
gram. The South must have
the answers to literally hundreds
Of questions as it's farming
moves toward greater mech
anization. In particular, we
need bold, imaginative reseahch
to bring mechanization TO
smaller farms.
Here I pay tribute to all seq
ments Of the cotton industry
for their foresight in finding
ways to increase the uses of
cotton. But the cotton industry
needs help with this tremendous
job.
The fact is. we are spending
on research for agriculture only
one-ninth as much per unit of
income as American industry
is spending on research. This is
saort-sighted. We must great
ly enlarge our system of re-
search and education and extern
sion in the land grant colleges.
This would be a real investment

world. We must build a strong.
secure, solvent United States
that can and will cooperate in
telligently, consistently and ef-
fectively with other friendly
nations in the cause of peace.
And we must approach this
all-important task with faith
in Almighty, God. the faith
that is rooted deep in both our
religious convictions and our
concepts of freedom. 1t must
be the same intense faith which
gave vision and strength to our
founding fathers. That is the
faith which, throughout our
history, has made the United
States the symbol of freedom
for the world. With the renewal
of our faith, we will not falter

flood control for this particular
area.
We should not, however, look
upon the IVA as a rigid pat
tern for such development in
other regions. In the Missouri
Valley. for example. many off,
cials and other thoughtful citi-
zens are considering the possi-
bility Of a legal arrangement
which would make State and
Federal agencies true partners
IN developing the resources Of
that great region. We should
give all such suggestions serious
consideration. This Is the sys-
tenn I favor in general for new
projects.
Our goal should be to work
out river basin development the
way the people In the region
want it done.
A constructive job can be done
with the cooperation of an ad-
ministration in Washington that
is devoted to the principle of
decentralized government and to
the principle of States Rights,
as well as to the full Develop
ment Of our resources.
No region Of our Nation has
greater soil problems, or bene-
fits more from a sound conserva-
ton program. than the South.
We must strengthen all conser-
vation activities. But these ac-
tivities should not carry a po-
litical price-tag.
The agricultural conservation
program, administered by PIMA,
is now permeated with partisan
politics. At this very moment,
in certain areas. Federal en-
ployes-paid with your tax dol
lars-are meeting with the
arm err committeeman and
other farmers, misrepresenting
my views about farm programs.
They are urging farmers to vote
to perpetuate all the mistakes
and fumbling of the present ad-
ministration. I am glad to say
that thousands of PIMA commit
teemen deeply resent the pollu-
ton Of these programs with
politics. And so do 7!

u. 5. Death Rate in 1851
Listed al 81 Per 1000
Ry the Associotsd Press

The Public Health Service esti-
mated yesterday that the Nations 8
death rate in 1851 was about 81
per thousand population, virtually
the same as in 1850.
The service said 1851 was the
fourth consecutive year in which
less than 10 Americans died out
of every thousand.
Surgeon General Leonard A..
Scheele said the low death rate
was achieved despite an increase
in the death rates for several i'm
portant causes. He said the 1851
estimates indicated 1900 more
deaths from heart and circulatory
diseases than in 1850. $500 more
from cancer and 1900 more from
accidents.
The increases were offset by de-
creaSes in the death rates for
tuberculosis. syphilis, infantile
paralysis and other causes.

opportunities, new markets, and
new efficiency. Then the farmer
will move forward toward this
rightful income goal.
Today the initiative Of our
citizens is being hampered by
unnecessary and unwanted bu-
reaucratic control. It Is being
choked by a dangerous policy
that deliberately fosters infia-
ton. Our future is being mort
gagged by a national debt-a
debt which will be a heavy bur-
den on our children and their
children.
Today prices for most farm
products-although there are
notable exceptions-appear on
the surface to be good. But
farmers know that they are
caught in a squeeze that is fiat
tening their pocketbooks. Their
costs are rising alarmingly,
while their prices are weaken
ing and their taxes soaring.
Farm production costs in the
United States have more than
trtpled since 1910. Every time
you turn around 1t costs you
more to keep going. 1t cost "a
per cent more to operate cot
ton farm in 1851 than it did the
year before. It is costing a lot
more in 1852, and costs are still
rising.
