A large part of the success of
American business may well be at
tributed to the attitude expressed in
the famed slogan, 1.-THE customer is
always right"
Agricultural leaders in many in
stances have been able to persuade
farmers to adopt this attitude and
have seen it pay off:
When electric refrigerators dictat-
ed that small watermelons be pro-
duced for easy cooling. farmers began
to produce lice box melons,"
When a preference for white meat
made itself felt, farmers began to
produce big-breasted turkeys.
When a chain store recognized that
housewives infinitely preferred tree
ripened fruit, Carolinas farmers
began to pick peaches that way in
stead of harvesting them somewhat
green and allowing them to mellow
Ell route to market.
When housewives showed they pre-
ferred Kentucky Wonder 1l9 pole
beans to McKeslin pole beans. Horny
farmers got the message and planted
Kentucky Wonders.
When grain dealers showed they
preferred weevil resistant corn,
farmers began to plant varieties that
withstood the attacks of weevils
better.
But how about our o b Il C c o
farmers?
Today tobacco farmers of the Caro-
llnas are losing their world market
through default. Wilfully, to get Il
quick dollar we are DrOlucinp tvpeS
OF tobacco that the buyers say they
do not want; in getting the, fast buck

Introduction of bills in Inc
Congress to halt federal en-
croachments on states rights
will probably find strong sup
port among Southerners who,
as a people, have long been
states rights champions. One
of the provisions of such legiS-
lation would be the establish
ment of a Court of the I'm
ion" with authority to review
United States Supreme Court
decisions on subjects which
the Constitution leaves to the
power of the states. Ever since
the first packing of the u. S.
Supreme Court it has appear
ed important that such top
tribunal be created to save the
states from the whims OF any
administration which either
packs the Supreme Court or
has its membership in its pock-
ct. Surely this would be one
way to prevent the Supreme
Court from legislating, as il
has So frequently done in the
past. But there is one big
question: What would keep ar
administration from packing
THAT court?
