otdn't Sell birthriqht

Returns of the wheat referendum
last week which fell far short of the
necessary two-thirds majority raised
many questions of why the farmers
mad overwhelmingly rejected an offer
Tor higher and more stable wheat
prices.
Political spectators, especially Re-
publlcans, termed this as a vote of no.
confidence in Secretary of Agricul-
ture, Orville Freeman. However. farm
experts say that farmers were given
choice between more money or free
dom. They chose freedom.
Had the administration plan been
approved, 1t weuld have meant strin-
gent controls for those farmers grow
ing wheat. Currently, the system is
voluntary and a farmer may produce
as much as he wants for his own use
however, he must limit his acreage if
ne expects to sell his crop at the
federally supported market price.
Under the proposed plan, adher-
ence to governmental regulations
would have been compulsory. Even
those farmers growing wheat for
nome use would have had to limit
production. For some this would have
meant buying grain to feed their own
stock.
Ironically, six of the seven states
giving the two-thirds approval are
mere in the South where the dairy
industry is rapidly growing. Compul-
sorry controls on wheat production
would have made it difficult for the
industry to continue expanding.
1t is believed that some farmers in
voting for the proposed controls last
week reasoned since they were bene-
fitting from the tobacco support pro-
gram, they would do likewise from
such a wheat program. AS matter
OF fact, Freeman promised a support
price starting at So per bushel.
But this is not comparable situa-
ton. The tobacco program is entirely
voluntary. A farmer may take it or
leave it. Theoretically he can grow
every inch of his property in tobacco.
However, if he expects to benefit from
me government support program. he
must limit production to the assigned
quota. Except for a few cases in the
mountain regions, no tobacco is grown
Tabor City tribune., 1963-06-05

Tor nome consumption. However, that
Is not the case with wheat. In Column
Dus County most of all wheat grown
is Tor home use. AS result, Columbus
County farmers would benefit little
from compulsory restrictions and
would probably suffer in the long run
Last weeks referendum was the
1lrst time that farmers with less than
l5-acre allotment were permitted
TO vote. 1t was mainly the farmers
among this group who voted for the
administration program. Still the plan
was soundly defeated, getting only
47.S" approval.
In trying to sell its program. the
department of Agriculture told the
farmer he had free choice to make
and at the same time made it quite
ciear ne would suffer if he did not
vote right. The farmer was told
tnat TINS program was simply matter
OF getting either 81 or So for busheI
ol wheat: 1t was just that simple. NO
meant 81. Yes" meant So.
Uncle Sam extended to the farmer
a Silver Platter ladden with Gold. But
the farmer handed back the gold and
theh slapped him in the face with
VIC pialIeI.
The farmer refused to sell his in
tegrlty, his freedom, and his sense of
dignity that comes from being able
TO decide his own destiny.
The referendum was far more than
choice between 81 or 50 per busheI
II wheat. 1t was Il suggestion of
the farmer was willing to
urn over his decision-making power
% the federal government and saw.
Here Uncle Sam, for Il dollar III
'ell you my birthright and you can
'uh my farm to suit yourself"
1t was not an easy decision. Those
farmers who stood firm and withheld
economic threats that bordered upon
coercion, even in the face of certain
financial losses are to be commended.
For 1t Is they and men of their kind
who add stability to the free-enter-
prise system which is being assaulted
from every side 1t is they and men
OF their kind with this Inselfish
tomorrow-rather-th attitude
VINO will perpetuate this country and
the principles which have made it
great.
