Productivity Increases
On Farms Are Cited

Spectacular productivity increases
on the nations farms were cited the
other day by Senator Edward v.
Long (Mo.).
Long pointed to Department of
Labor figures showing that one farm
worker now produces enough food
and fiber for about % persons, as
against only IL in 1910. That is over
a 100 per cent gain.
The changes have been even more
spectacular over the last half CEN
fury. Fifty years ago." Long said,
"it took 135 man-hours of good,
steady labor to produce 100 bushels
or corn, LOG hours for the same
amount of wheat, and 276 hours for
a bale of cotton.
To-day it requires an average of
about % hours to produce those 100
bushels of corn, II hours for 100
bushels of wheat, and TT hours for
bale of cotton. The man who made
that progress possible is the amazing
American farmer"

Kennedy Reudies
Ways to Counter
Rise In JobIess

| WASHINGTON, ID. G. - Faced
with a possible total of 100000 un-
employed workers by the time of his
| Inauguration as President of the
United States on January 20, 1861,
President-elect John F. Kennedy has
already began a series of moves to
counter this threat of high unem-
ployment and perhaps business re-
cession.
Kennedy's program to curb the rise
in the jobless roll includes such steps
as improved federal spending on
school construction and highways,
more loans to small business in the
event that more jobs will. open up.
Lower interest rates on govern
ment guaranteed housing loans and
more finances to back these loans
leading to increased home buying.
One of President-elect Kennedy's
advisors noted that, 1--WE can't come
into office with that many unem-
ployed and not do something about
it."
Kennedy's anti-recession program
may also involve the asking of Con-
gress to pass legislation to strengthen
some tax laws eliminating tax loop
holes which would enable the govern
ment to pick up some extra tax money
with which to bolster the program.
Should there be a change for the
good in the unemployment picture
and the u. S. economy by January
20, this program may be adjusted to
conform with the state of being of
the nations economy at that time.

First Fine Imposed Under
Poultry Inspection Law

MICHIGAN CITY, Ind.-(CNS)-
The first court case concluded under
the poultry inspection act resulted
in 500 fine, October %.
Agriculture Department officials
charged Ova Nickel of Nickel Duck
Farms with transporting unexpected
ready-to-cook ducks across state lines
into Illinois. He was warned June IL,
1859, that he was violating the law,
but he continued to ship unexpected
poultry. Nickel pleaded guilty.
The poultry inspection act requires
that all poultry processing plants
engaged in interstate commerce oper-
ate under government standards and
that federal poultry inspectors check
all products.

Among the post-mortem comments
following the election. the most We
hement is that the liberals In Mon
tana defeated the Democrats. Specif-
ically the finger is pointed at Labor
and the Farmers Union.
Joe Reber, treasurer for the Demo
cratic party, leveled the first blast
that served to draw blood for the
rest of the sharks to gather around.
The MONTANA CITIZEN, COM
menting on the Reber statement said,
'Ironic fact was that Reber, Demo
legislative candidate, was among
those caught in the conservative
swing in Lewis & Clark county"
The irony of this chronic fact"
is that Reber was beaten by an
outspoken liberal who had the sup
port of labor in Lewis and Clark
county. and Reber did not. The lib
eral candidate ran End in the legis-
lative race of and Reber ran 9th.
Another stab that splattered poll
tical blood was drawn in an editorial
in a newspaper that fought the Demo-
cratic candidate for Governor in such
indelicate and offensive terms as
"halotosis of the intellect" in joining
the word witches who generate a
mob psychosis during elections; but
they blamed liberals for
Democratic defeat.
l would not be in a position to
say whether the liberals defeated the
Democrats; but rather / would think
the Republicans, money, newspapers,
timidity and lack of underlying poll
teal philosophy among the electorate
all had a bearing.
You can find Democrats who be-
lieve they were defeated by their
sorry platform that at
a genuflexion before the
powerful interests.
The big question to me is what is
! Democrat?
Is a Democrat Siamese Republi- |
IAN? A warmed-over conservative? |
A retreaded elephant? A hole with |
he rim knocked off? A political |
lack for the powerful interests?
If this is what the anti-liberals en-
,ision as a Democrat I'm not inter-
.sted in brass. I'd rather. see the
terling. Give me a died-in-the-wool /
me the real Mccoy
i've me the Republican.
Political parties in a democracy
re supposed to espouse different
PHILOSOPHERS, and if they don't, they
re simply people seeking power or
restige and as such are dangerous.
Recent elections indicate to me
eople are not finding political delin-
alton in the parties and electors
re merely going through process
f throwing somebody out.
1t is unimaginable to me to hear
eople say labor and farmers should
OF take part in political campaigns.

Qualified electors in Holmes County
will have a significant choice to make
when they cast their votes for Presi-
Dental electors next Tuesday. We feel
that UnpIedged Electors Of the Missis-
sippi Democratic Party represent the
best alternative which southerners
have. 1t is the only way which citizens
of Holmes will have to voice their dis
approval of actions of both the major
parties. To vote for the Independents
will require moral courage, but at
least, Mississippians can say they
stood by their principles.
This nation cannot survive with Po-
IiticaI leaders who are willing to sell
our national birthright = Constitu-
tionaE government and free enterprise
for the votes of Ieft-wing pressure
groups and minority blocs.
Down through the ages men have
written their names indeIibIy on the
pages Of history by a fortnight exhibit
ton Of moral courage.
Our nation was founded by me like
Patrick Henry, George Washington, and
Thomas jefferson = men who were not
afraid to courageousIy stand on princi-
pie.
Today, we are faced with the choice
of either standing for the principles Of
liberty, freedom and conviction OR
meekIy surrendering to a group Of
poWer-hungry politicians. Unfortunate

Iy, these men will not have to pay the
price for their wild promises, their
shady deals manufactured with radical
organizations and front groups.
The American people, the citizens of
Mississippi, and the residents of HoI-

and the payment will be made in de-
struction Of our liberty and Constitu-
tional freedoms, in an increasingly
heavy tax burden, and in a continued
concentration of bureaucratic power in

Mississippi could very we'll cease to
become a sovereign state and instead
be only a Federal province-dictated
by some petty bureaucrats in Washing

longer be under the supervision of the
people of OUR county n such a situa-

stitutions for the indoctrination Of our
youth in doctrines that are both foreign
and undemocratic.
Whether the rest of America shows
