T O D A Y , A U G U S T 8 0 ,1 9 4 8 PITTY THE A A A HUNGRY FIGS Here to an example o f an exponent of the^Wallace theory of scarcity on and o ft the farm to feed the people with less right here at home at a time when pocketbookB are bulged with mon­ ey and a city population, as hungry as the farmer's pigs with no com on the farm and none in the market place, ' •A farmer tells us a pitiful story of one of his neighbors who tried to follow the mail-order type of farming, and special­ izing on the theory that more l iga to feed more people did not have to have more feed, 'Not using ordinary horse-sense this AAA farmer would rather servo under a dictatorial form of government and. farm management to get a pittance of a gov­ ernment check than do his own planning. _ This farmer increased his brood list by six ’mother sows and the out-put numbered 48. piggies in addition to his custo- jnary ton brood sows, Moantimo ho followed the line of least resistance and raised less corn as had been planned for him by the Washington planners that never raised an ear of com or carried a bucket o f slop. This unfortunate farmer now has a- bout ninety pigs, all weaned'and on a limited amount o f pas­ ture grass—but ho porn. The government bribe check was cashed months ago and the money spent?—-but not for corn that would be necessary for,his increased pig crop. The income tax , man took a part o f it. The AAA salary eaters had never told him he would need more corn with more pigs and of course one that follows rather than leads would not realise the pigs would require certain amount of feed at fattening time. Today >these hundred-pound or more pigs are m need of feed. .Supplimeiit is both high in price and scarce and the gov eminent check lies in storage in Washington—marked cashed The next problem is to find a farmer who will sell com for $1.01 a bushel, ceiling price, *Elevators of course cannot sell corn and make ends ineet on government regulated prices. The help­ less farmer, needs cash to pay. $1.50 a bushel for corn in the “ farm black-maiket.” Moreover he stands to be fined' and im­ prisoned if he pays the farm market price o f $1.50. The AAA salary-eaters may snitch on both the buyer and seller just like some did on the whiskey bootleggers back in prohibition days* But pigs are not to-be the only hungry objects in this na tion. As the Portland, Ore,, Journal states: “ It looks like a long hungry, war, ' Agriculture has not gone for food subsidy but insists on fair.prices to insure reasonable profit to meet in­ creased cost o f labor,"seed, fertilizer and -transportation. I > wants all artificial restrictions on feed production removed,'It demands the abolition'of arbitrary and shortsighted limitations placed on agriculture gasoline and.farm machinery. The dec­ ade of farm problem fumbling, experimentation, and bureau cratiC bungling a decade in which a 4?,000,000-acre cut was made in 17 leading farm crops, isn't over ivith the bungling o:! a half-dozen over-lapping ahd conflicting agencies picking at the problem. " The theorists are still in there~pitehing.” The farmer has no assurance o f even fair treatment let a- Ione a. reasonable profit for.his investment and nothing for his labor other than patriotism which Roosevelt described as “ long­ er and harder working hours for less' and less hours and high? er pay for the organized class in factories., The gasoline reduc­ tion order this week is a direct stab in the back of the class tha is to be frozen on the farms, using a rule of the Man Power Commissioner McNutt. Less gas on the farm for the auto jus: means longer working hours and not so much pleasure riding as has been charged by the New Beal snoopers. Less gas also means less farm labor for this class can go to the city and get high war time wages and still have the same amount of gas as given him even though he resides five or more miles from a shopping center. . / ' . . The American citizen is facing the same situation as, our farmer friend' ’s ninety pigs;__ empty bellies. A fat pocketbook will no more feed the inner man in the New Deal scarcity mark­ et, than lesS corn acres and other crops will feed more pigs. We leave"the situation^ the judgment of the American farmer—the farmer that is the leader in this and other com­ munities. The. followers have more than they can do to follow the planners while the leaders are never concerned much about the followers. We predict less gasoline in the rural sections means less farm labor on the farm. Less labor for 1944 means more empty bellies in the city than on the farm; The farmer eats first ana usually sells what h<°.cannot eat. Washington can­ not change that order even by Hitler methods. There must be pity for the AAA hungry pigs— innooent things brought into this world, by the Roosevelt “ cum laude” blue-print planners. Not so much can be said for the city folks where a certain degree of intelligence is supposed to lead to reason—not applauding the efforts of most of those who have never had experience with .farm .problems and failures in their ownpersonal business affairs, if they ever had such. "»IP GOVERNMENT BY FOOLS AND KNAVES The above caption hea^s an editorial in the Chicago Trib­ une relative to the gasoline cut and other'administration acts that pre beingr forced at this time with Congress in recess. The political situation is critical in New York state and in New York City for the Roosevelt administration. If published re­ ports in the New1York Times are true the administration prom­ ised relief to motorists in the east through the New York Auto- 4 mobile Club.. The Times a few days ago stated the plan of Secretary Ickes in reducing gas rationss in the midwest and still deny pleasure riding until September 15th when the resort sea­ son will near the close and schools opened is far from satisfac­ tory to eastern motorists. Ickes is long on promises. The Trib­ une says the move of Ickes is to hide his own failure in his job o f managing war petroleum production. Oil men say they can­ not produce lubricating oil on present prices o f crude oil. Ickes asks OPA for an increase of 35c a barrel but this double-head­ ed New Beal outfit refuses. OPA says an increase will hit the motorists. Ickes and oil management say not the increase is for increased cost o f drilling new wells. No price increase so Ickes orders OPA to ration gasoline, when there is an undisputed sur­ plus, more than oil men have storage for at this time. Continuing the Tribune says editorially: “We are being governed by fools ajid knaves. The fools are the New Dealers Who from the day they came into power have persistently blind­ ed themselves to the miracle of American production. Their planned economy has been a plan to cut up and redistribute what we have instead of Working for the plenty that we might have. The knaves are the New Dealers who want scarcity for scarcity’s sake, because it permits them to parcel out the little we have. If we had plenty they would lose their power over every citizen’s life, the power many of them ate plotting to keep after the war. “ The New Deal claque is now reduced to the contention that the people will accept as good sports the unnecessary cut in the ratiqp because it helps win the war. Nothing that crip­ ples the civilian economy, in which the automobile plays sudh an important part, helps win the war. It helps lose the war. Those who seek to protect the bunglers responsible for the de­ cline in oil production are as criminally responsible as the bung­ lers themselves, ” IP YOUNEDMINTING, DROP IN There taut been little rest or vaca­ tion for Congressman Clarence J. Brown since congress took recess. He being chairman o f the mid-west gaso­ line protest committee, composed o f both Republicans and Democrats and numbering a majority o f the House membership, it fell to the Seventh. District Congressman to take the lead following the Ickes pronouncement on gasoline rationing, -.Ur. Brown hat been a member o f ’the congressional committee investigating tb wood pulp situation which has been in session in New York City for several days, The labor problem in Canada where most, o f the pulp comes from has brought a shortage in this product that is o f vital interest to newspapers. Wood pulp is needed for many kinds o f box­ es and paper for all kinds o f food, A committee from the American Newspaper Association met with both the Congressional Committee and the representatives pf the Canadian gov- eminent. , » . fog daplatad fiutar than priftctlMb Prom another angle 1843 income in not all for this year. Much live stock and feed had to be produced last year and our feed this year should he re­ flected on income fo r 1944, The rev­ enue department will know more a- bout farm income when the farmers file their partlaVincome tax report on September 15th next. We took a stroll through the Day ton Arcade Market, Monday. Not a pound o f beef was" in sight at any o f the numerous meat stands. There was pork’ and iamb but no beef. 'Custo­ mers crowded each stand eager to know when there would be roast and steak. One manager stated “ we .will have plepty o f hamberger in a few days” (as soon as they can grind up a few old cows). .The Roosevelt “hold..the line” on living coats faces' another test. Sec, ickes says there, will be a coal short­ age ahd probably" rationing before the winter is over. 'He has ordered a 48 hour work week in the mines. This brings on additional cost due to the time and one-half fo r oyer time. Sec. Ickes says there •will have to he an increase' in the price o f coal to cover the increased cost, With coal patrons spending more for coal we take it that such will pot be contributing to infla­ tion. Only increases on farm prod­ ucts means inflation. With water melons selling about the $1 price and cantelopes at 25 and 85c, peaches 25 to 29c a pound, corn 4 fo r ^’ quarter, Monday In the city, the city folks are given a real treat in “ hold- 'ing the line” . The farmer or gSrd- nier is being paid less than one fourth o f what most vegetables are being retailed at but that is no fault o f the retailer who is under ceiling-prices jn our Communistic state. He can pur .chase as, cheap as he can but he can­ not sell over the ceiling price. To keep from breaking the law the merchants protect themselves by selling at ceil­ ing, prices. In New York City the Socialist Mayor LaGuhrdia,, issued an order holding down the price o f fresh to- matoes at 5c a pound. The A and P chain stores charged more, because they had to pay njore than the 5c price. The Mayor broadcast a blast at the store management under the Hitler gestapo- form. Wholesalers .that had tomatoes did not offer them because they cost more; The gard- ners refused ft ship into the city and there was soon no tomatoes. The city folks had the choice o f no tomatoes at 5c a pound or tomatoes at 7%c a pound. The Mayor used the New Deal . argument on the air that farmers Woud have to sell a t the low price or let them rot. I f you cannot purchase tomatoes next winter even in the can you will not have to ask why. We wrote a publisher friend in Michigan in the fruit belt as to pros­ pects fo r fresh and canned fruits. He replies that with bungling in Wash, ington there will be less.canned fruit and vegetables than any time in the past twenty-five years. Fruit o f all kinds is rotting where it is 'Over ripe, No labor for picking. Less labor for canning, The canners are restricted in price by ceilings for the canned Products, They cannot pay. war-time vages and, break even on cost. Our Viend offered to ship two crates (24 marts each) o f fine Michigan cher- ■ies but shipment could not be made luring the hot weather. He says can- 1ers have had plenty of trouble but Gardners and fruit growers have had here trouble. They Wiere asked to produce more with less help and machinery and now cannot harvest Jue to labor shortage. The New Deal hinks once food is produced .the grow1-' era will be forced to sell at low prices ‘■egardiess o f a profit or let every- hing rot on the trees or in the ground Much fruit has gone to waste on the tees according to our letter. What is ’ft happen when America is hungry with a pocket-book bulged With mort- •’ y ? You cari always eat your ration points. The fellow that believes in Washington is to go hungry, so will others, Reports on the food situation out of Washington are as misleading as the reports you received. About the shortage o f gasoline, F6r instance one report you received is that farm income for 1948 Will bo in excess o f 1942. From another bureau we get a report that farm inventories are be* This column last week mentioned the election results in Ontario; Canada whereby the MaeKenpie faction lost control o f the, most important prov­ ince in the dominion. This alarmed the English War Lords. Thia week news dispatches state the war con ference Is to he .adjourned while Roosevelt makes a trip to Ottawa tc make s political speach in behalf of the King George-government. An­ other plan of butting in world politics while Americans are warned by Jim­ my Byrnes to drop politics. Laugh able, is it.not? A manufacturer tells us that he had 33 applications; last Week among Ids employees for vacation and fishing trips to Canada. If Roosevelt can ad jonrn the war fo r a week to go to Canada on a fishing trip, labor thinks it should have the same chance. Many laborers do go there each year for recreation,. It was atgued that we all should forego vacations this year or take them at home.' Roosevelt started something when he violated a request he had made q f all citizens. One week Mrs. Roosevelt stated at a press conference she would stay at home this summer and take no vaca­ tion. A few weeks later she bobbed up in Seattle, Wash., speaking , en- route home in pick small change for expense money. Ninety per cent o f the war effort on the part of the Roosevelt adminis­ tration is based on political effect. Rationing is largely for political ef­ fect.- For instance Roosevelt “ lifted* coffee from the items rationed. But he'did not, explain that South Amer­ ica coffpe interests put the heat un­ der the New Deal coffee pot and the steam pressure became alarming as Well as dangerous. When the coffee interests began to advertise there was more' coffee than could be used and lirged consumers to seek a second cup Washington became alarmed. When another political Crisis bobbs up. I (FDR), “ may give you a little more sugar.” Another in the making will be the “ I will give you another gallon of gasoline.” And another, “ I will get you a littlemore liquor,* now that we have started the distilleries again, re­ gardless o f the war effort.” If some red-blooded American .citizen men tions politics and is hot a New Deal er, he is charged With hindering, the war effort. ALONG FARM FRONT E, A. .Drake, Co, Agricultural Agent •eft* FARM LABOR COMMITTEE TO MEET That was just about what Jimmy Byrnes, sixth vice president, said the other night over the air. He wants no more politics—no more from anti New Dealers. He glazed over a rot­ ten situation in his own Crowd. He never mentioned the internal fight over a Fourth term for FDR. Hfe fail­ ed to mention the disunity speeches by Wallace and how Roosevelt had un­ horsed the V. P. from various jobs for world politics, There was no mention o f the loss of 60 car loads o f potatoes that had to be dumped or the cost, plus Warbcontracts that are making New Deal millionaires over night. He did not mention anything about the internal fight over drafting fathers with thousands o f- able bodied rela­ tives escaping military service by de- sign. He did not-mention bow much the new income tax law is to be in­ creased and how the Administration is seeking Republican support to. in­ sure a new and heavier tax law to hold down inflation. Jimmy could if he chose told how it Was planned to pay labor extremely high wages and then take most o f it back in taxes just like Mussolini did in Italy. There was much Jimmy the Sixth, over look­ ed in his Monday broadcast. He could have told American income tax payers ’ hat the Roosevelt fishing trip to Can­ ada with special train, hundreds o f soldiers at all bridges for guard duty; labor to spike all switches and then ‘elease the switches after the FDR* Mopkins Special had passed, Then who paid for the guards at the Canadian lake and the guides and the running back and forth of rail equipment on Canadian railroads fo r protection ? A $500,000 fishing trip at the expense of American income tax payers. wq f'ini. 1 mm** WANTED PWUoM ppeH for Machine Tenders, BackO Tenders, Third Hands, and Beater Engineers at Ohio Paper Co., Mianklabnrg, -Phone «r write, The Greene Gouty Farm Labor com­ mittee will meet at the Court House Assembly room Friday evening, Aug., 20, to survey the labor needs and to make plans for meeting the peak labor load o f farmers thia fall, The meeting is being called by E.
