This "field man” stated he had been warned not to discuss any topic on the AAA other than what he was expected to sell the farmer, He says the county committee Is but putty in the hands o f state headquarters and the state must take orders di­ rect from Washington. To ignore orders would mean die missal by higher up authorities, We also learned from this "field man” that all farmers are not treated fairly, those who swallow the whole program receiving favors not given others. We asked what about the disposal o f "cushion land” and who benefitted? This method is no longer followed we are told hut our informant intimated the situation was "rotten” as he expressed i t When pressed why he quit he openly stated that, the field men had to take the slurs and criticism o f dissatisfied farmers while the officers sit hack and drew rich salaries which were never made public. The more and higher the salary, the less there was to distribute among farmers, was the last comment. All of which will he interesting, tq Gfeene county farmers who are in the near future to get a peek into happenings of-the county committee. WHAT ARE THE BASIC CROPS? Another billion* more or less, will be provided by Con gress this spring to aid producers o f the "basic crops* Cotton, wheat, corn, tobacco and rice are the basic crops o f American agriculture, according to ldw. According to fact, there is some question about the matter Total receipts last year from cash sales o f the law’s basic crops,were; tobacco, 241 millions; cotton, 677 millions; all grains; wheat, rice, corn (with soybeans, rye, barley and oats thrown in ), 995 millions o f dollars, Taken together, the basic crops, with a few extras, brought less than two billions; their cash total was $1,913,000,000. Compare this with total cash receipts from, some items, that, according to the law, are not "basic.” And while com­ paring,. consider which classes are o f the- most interest to you personally. Meat animals alone brought 2,419 million dollars—more than all the "basics”, together. (Wool, mohair, honey, etc., not included*) ' - . - — - Dairy products were cashed by1 farmers fo r 1,502 millions. Poultry earned. 748“millions, or more than cotton; fruits brought 426 millions; vegetables sold for 625 tnillipns. These add up fo $5,720,000,000 (not Counting $1,800 -mil­ lion’s worth consumed at home), contrasted with $1,913,000,- 000 fo r tije crops designated as basic. Whcih are really basic? Which group not only produces the most income^for farmers, but which produces inconics for the most farmers? . **' . , Obviously, more fanners are engaged in activities 'which Congress considers less important than the five "basic” crops. Lawmakers’ attention has rightly been given to those producers whose problems are heaviest.- TheforOutput-must face_a_cQn_- tinugl world or buyerfo.market. Their need is greater. Con sidering how little government Intervention has actually ac­ complished toward solving anything for these farmers, wp , hesitate to suggest that. Congress might turn some share of its attention toward improving marketihg practices and dis­ tribution facilities for the "non-basic” producers. Perhaps more will be accomplished by farmers and by the efforts of busi­ ness men. . What to do? Start to cure the trouble, insted of postpon­ ing it from year to year. Put tariffs on vegetable oils, starches, jute, so cotton farmers can get more for their own oils, go into the sweet potato starch business, escape India’s fiber com­ petition. Hurry up more new crops that, like soy beans, pay better than too much Corn, wheat and cotton. "Offer incentive payments to fanners who grow new crops that are needed instead o f paying fanners not to grow things we do not need. Rebuild city terminals for cheaper handling o f fruits; vege­ tables and poultry* Push research in every possible direction for lower costs, new uses, better markets. —Farm Journal * ™ % . . . - f i f f U J L U 350 OUTSIDE OOOMO |0 WITH OATH * FROM*A iMwm W p * RP.

The sur­ prising thine to loam is the uncertain­ ty of all as to whether the public is being fully informed, Take Sec, Knox’s last statement that no vessels are be­ ing cotivoy^d. Most publishers think otherwise. A certain poll taken the nation over by. an organisation for that purpose indicates the people are still opposed to Bending a ainglfe man abroad. It is. safe to say 75 per cent o f the publish­ ers report the same among their read­ ers, Sentiment in the south outside of localities where the government Is spending millions for war work is for providing England with war equip­ ment but not men. The Democratic publisher is just as strong on this issue ,as his brother publisher north of the Mason Ss Dixon line) As to trend of events in Washing­ ton the average publisher no matter from what state, is more concerned as to the future of the country than the danger of us getting in the front ranks of the war. We talked to a North Carolina Democrat Who is con­ cerned as to the future of his party on the war. issue because’ Roosevelt campaigned for “peace and not war.’’ The strike situation disturbs Demo­ cratic publishers who seem to have the idea the general public will hold the party responsible due to the, position Roosevelt has taken as well,as Perkins and other administration appointees. Democratic publishers, like Republi­ can, see they will^he called upon to .pay. a_heavy tax on personal incomes and probably a sales tax to finance a war they think the public will resent. One publisher stated he had an idea that probably Roosevelt Was serving his last term because he vvoutd not be able to please union labor and the public. He is one o f the fewlhat think the Democrats have not helped their cause by accepting a third term. Again Democratic publishers are not “ hot” for members o f the Roosevelt family that are constantly On the first page. One of -the troublesome questions the Democrats face is “What o f the fu ­ ture When the War is Over? They have not forgotten the reaction of Woodrow Wilsoq and the World War. If you ask a JSouthem 1 or Western publisher what about the A A A you get a quick answer. The publisher in the cotton section relates the same grievances as the corn grower in Iowa or Illinois or the. wheat grower in Kansas, The. same complaints of fa­ voritism seem to exist from every quarter reported on. Mot ajl publish­ ers say. the plan would fall fiat if it were not for the highly paid farm­ ers in every county in the states under AAA.. Cost o f administration is the common -complaint in-Kentucky as it is in Virginia* Jacksonville, Fla., is one o f the fast­ est growing cities in the country and has had government contracts in this vicinity amounting to.more than $ 100 ,- 000,000, It has some 55,00.0 .soldiers and sailors in camp near the city. The Rtreets are crowded day and night. Southern business leaders are now urging Washington for a larger share o f the war contracts and a dozen or more southern governors made a trip to Washington to get more govern­ ment money in the south.' You can­ not drive from one c o u n t y to another without seeing where hun­ dreds o f thousands of dollars have been spent o t nowcontracted for some war activity, A bridge costing more fhan 6 million dollars Is being erected across the St. John River at Jackson­ ville as a necessity Under the defense plan.

AAA COST (ConttHtisdfromfirst page) the information asked for in the letter will he published as taken from the records, available in the office^of Mr* Eavey. At the last meeting,of the Cedar- ville Township group held in the school building, Mr, David Rradfute one of tW? officers, stated that, all cecorda were public property,and open ,for inspection. At the request o f num­ erous farmers and land owners, we have been asked to secure definite in­ formation as to the amount o f money the goverment credits to Greene coun- cribution under the'various branches 6 £ the AAA and what the -ost of operating the plan is a year- To get this information we addressed the above letter by mail to Mr, Eavey on April 11th, 1 Various reports are in circulation dmong farmers as tq what this and .hat officer receives and what is paid the field men. Reports we get from various farmers from different town­ ships have it that at least four of the officers draw salaries that amount to about $10,000, with $3,600 being the. top^salary.,and all expenses in connection with the work, additional. Estimates as to the total cost run as high as $30,000 a year for the county which is taken from the amount the government sends to the' county to he divided among those who have a part in the program, It is to get the time facts before the public, as all government money comes from taxation, that we have made the above request from Mr* Eavey. The AAA is not a private board but op- mates under government control and the expenditure o f tax money is the concern of every citizen. Consequent­ ly in next week’s issue o f the Herald will be found the Information as post­ ed in the office o f Mr* Eavey.

From local newspapers in Jackson-* ville we find the Florida legislature on Monday passed a bill retaining the gasoline tax o f seven cents a gallon. Also there is opposition to any"addi­ tional tax on horse racing just as is proposed in Ohio. All homes occupied by the owner that are listed at $5,000 or under in Florida, are exempted from taxation, But little else escapes in the etato and more new taxes on commodities are promised this year, probably a state income tax with low brackets td catch even those exempted by the federal government. State tax­ es may be low but the cities tax or license most everything to make up wllat is lost on the low valued real estate.
