Hatred and suspicion are fomented, jealousy is rifle, public officials who should cooperate are jxt war with each other, Hen In high po*sition in the party have become mysteriously rich. * * * What we" need, * * * is a change—from hatred and distrust to friendliness and cooperation.” ■ . t Mr. Sawyer was banqueted in Norwood Wednesday when a petition signed by more than 100,000 Demo­ crats will be given him asking him to announce fo r Governor.

Burial in Maseies Creek UiBirtitt,' . 1 ' '>■■■■ As the official head o f the Ala-* bama Department oj| Agriculture and Industries, I feel it my duty to make a statement to both the farm-and the business people o f Alabama concern­ ing Federal farm legislation now pending in the United States Con­ gress.. , - . . It is my thought-out opinion -and.., firm conviction that tlve passage' o f: a ., national farm bill -carrying provisions Included in either the -House bill or Senate bill, or a combination, o f -the two, will mean economic dentil'rind disaster to Alabama and the cotton South. - . . ' , The Federal farm bills passed-by. both House and the Senate,, "which have been referred to a .conference committee, would prevent the use”o f acres diverted from cdtton to the pro­ duction o f food, feed and forage crops necessary for-the expansion o f a live-stock and dairy industry in Alabama. The enactment arid . epfofctmeht' of. such a provision would consign Ala­ bama agriculture to a continuously lower and lower income from the one cash crop o f cotton, without the possibility o f providing a Satisfactory , income from any other source. The only hope for prosperity to all o f our people lies in a higher agricultural income and a greater industrial de­ velopment. I cannot accept "legisla­ tion prevenihg either or both without making as vigorous a protest as-pos­ sible and without explaining to our people my reasons for such.positidn. It is recognized by every ope fa ­ miliar with our state economy -that it is essential that we have a well balanced farm program which -will provide, first, our own Consumptive needs. When it is realized that Ala­ bama produce^ only 66 per cent a l dijtr meat, 54 per cent o f our-milk, 46 per per cent o f our hay, as well as haring a like deficiency o f other commodities, the seriousness o f such restrictive Federal legislation can easily be;, ap- . predated. In' addition to this, I do. not believi that any other sections o f .this gr&at country have the right to suggest the limitation o f . our right to ’compete freely and fairly in the production of any kind of crop o f livestock and its products, to'say nothing of- limitation^ to consumptive needs, when our, per­ form income is less than half of the income enjoyed by other sections of the country, The gross income per " farm operator for tho north-central states for 1934 was $1,274, including benefit payments, and at the same time was only $583 for Alabama. ? It is my opinion and belief that un­ less our farmers Ore permitted sup­ plement their income from cotton with other , sources, o f income the-benefit payments which they would ' receive would amount to no. more than a mere dole, which would give them a con­ tinuously more meager and inade­ quate- income, The production o f live-, stock and dairy products is the most practical means o f recovery open to our farmers and is .the best means by which the consuming population o f the state can hope fo r any measure o f relief from the high cost o f living , which comes from, purchasing food products from distant sections, with their consequent high freight ra tes. and handling costs. Our experiment statioris^nd our ex­ tension forces have long insisted that the cotton farmer’s- economic salva­ tion lay in a diversified agriculture, with particular emphasis laid on the necessity Of livestock production as a source o f income and as a Soil-build­ ing practice. ' ' A t tho expense o f more space than I like to take in my talks in “ The Bulletin,” I wish to explain in a sim­ ple way the application o f the legis­ lation proposed, A farmer Who has a cotton base o f ten acres would be required to reduce, to, sty* seven acres, He would, at the same time, have a corn base o f ton acres and a production base o f fourteen buahbis-— the state average •— an aero, or a total oem allotment o f 146 bushels. This farmer could not produce for sale more than his 146- bushels o f com without penalty. He could not use the three acres diverted from cot- vton to the ‘production o f com , other grain or forage crops fo r sale. He could not Use the* three acres fo r pasturage. I f he produced more com , o r mor« poultry, or eggs, o r hogs, or atom*, or twflk, hip own family would ha re­ quired to consume all o f f t . Tha la # m m * tU m t {
