F R ID A Y , A U G U S T 27 ,1943 FARMERS TO BECOME HIRED HANDS W h a t the President, o r somebody f o r him, has "thought up” in the b r ie f interval since Congress went on vacation, and wh ich he has intimated should have stayed in session in order to put it through. In a wo rd , if Congress ratifies, the Adm inis­ tration w ill tell every fa rm e r ju s t what and how much he w ill i ’aise, w ill pu t it a ll from him a t a price to net him a profit, and se ll it io retailers a t a low e r price, pocketing the loss, or rather cha rg ing it o f f to the taxpayer. Thus, it is contended, a satis­ fac tory price level may b e maintained from the consumers standpoint, wh ile the g row e rs w ill be taken care of. Th is idea f o r government to become the universal farmer, in existance; bu t it goes fa rthe r. It puts the fa rm e r entirely under the Governm en ts thumb- I f he proved recalcitrant, i f he p lan ted what he p re fe rred to plant, w h a t he knew most a - hout, and w h a t he thought his land w ou ld do best at, he w ou ld be punished somewhat as Russia’s n ow extinct class o f kulaks w a s punished. Government wou ld deny him fertilize r fo r his soil, gasoline to take its products to market. Thus'it could ruin him ip a 'single season. - Th is project f o r P a p a to become, the universal farmer, and the farm e rs themselves to be just h ired hands, comes from an Adm inistration wh ich has scrambled every feature o f the food situation, and has go t itself and everybody else so confused that con flicting '“ directives” issue w eek ly from Washington, meat packers are closing down, and b lack markets are looking very . much like the.real thing. O f course, a purpose to win the fa rm vote is in evidence, with the corrupt practice methods of W P A in the background . This time, however, to use a bucolic figure o f speech,' the rock salt is proffered by one hand, while the; oth er holds a rope. At*the end o f the rope isithe nose-ring o f col lectivism. — Cincinnati Times-Star The Times-Star editorial w riter covers much o f .the N ew . D ea l f a rm territory touched upon in the current issue o f the Oh io .Farm er, a fa rm publication th a t long has been tardy in inform ing its readers o f w h a t the future o f fa rm in g was to be fo llow in g the w a r prov ided the Roosevelt Communists were continued in power. Farm direction, by the government as to crops w ill be small potatoes as compared with the directive tha every fa rm e r w ill be assigned the exact time when his sows are . to fa r r o w so that the Smiths can sell hogs in September and the Jones’ in Octpher, and so on throughout th d y e a r. By this line /■ o f reasoning the twelve months of each yea r wou ld have it? quota o f f a t hogs fo r market* The law s o f nature are to.be pul reverse and “ M amm a P ig ” w ill not give birth to her litter un til some N ew D ea le r in Washington issues the order. cIt is no doubt a rgued that “ time is nothing to a hog” so it should no make any d ifference as to what month she must farrow - Just w h a t W ash ington w ill do, or say if nature did not do its p a r t 6i M amm a P ig became, a, little careless about the time o f gestatior it is p robab le our fa rm e r friend m ight find himself up before t h e . A A A fo r a .h e a rin g as some -have experience before the gas ration boards. The p ig problem under Roosevelt Communism w ill be bu a m inor matter* Farm labo r is to have a place a t the fa rm e r’s pocket book in the glorious days to come such as he never hac before; A l l fa rm labo r is to be organized. The farm e r tha does not employ organized fa rm lab o r w ill find his market cu o ff, w ith crops on hand, and unable to sell, not even to the n ew ly created N e w D e a l black-market. F e w farm ers realize the Smifh-Gonnelly act to control labo r also controls employ­ ers as w e ll. It is more than a w a r measure unless repealed a the end o f the w a r . The" W a r L ab o r B o a rd has more power to enforce its decisions than the Un ited States Supreme Court, Las t w e ek a strike among N e w Y o rk new spaper distributors brough t the W L B in action and 'th is had no part in the War e ffort. The men w e re ordered back to w o rk under certain pen­ alties threatened. Farm ing is more o f a w a r necessity than the distribution o f any newspaper. Another feature most farm ers have not thought o f is that no grain or livestock can be sold to anyone without permission from p robab ly the A A A . The in ternal' revenye department must also have a record of the sale so that the fa rm e r cannot defraud his government on income taxes if he so desired. I - 1 Y o u as a fa rm e r can have your opinion and you can do as you like. There are f e w fa rm leaders that see the hand-writing - on the w a ll just as industry sees the post-war picture. There no is much Cooking in the N e w D ea l circle to hook the farm er fo r life. “ - WELL THAT WELLS RESIGNS W h e n Secretary o f State Cordell Hu ll, a one-time old-line Tennessee Democrat, informed the W h ite House that U nd e r Secretary Sumner W e lls , w a s no longer welcome in his office in an o fficial cap ac ity ’and that either “ H e (W e l ls ) or I will leave the service” , it only took Roosevelt about ten seconds to determine that it w ou ld be best fo r H u ll to remain. Then came the news that W e lls w a s to be a roaving diplomat, what­ ever that is. I t w a s a qgse o f keeping a N e w D ea le r on the government pay -ro ll. - W e lls had no g rea t fo llow in g even among Congressmen aiid Senators, rega rd less o f Communism o f the type preached by V ice President W a lla ce . H u ll is no longer a t the State D e ­ partment and no one sponsored a statement o f his resignation. H a d Roosevelt turned H u ll clown; he wou ld have cut o ff the entire southern delegation in Congress and ta rned the Demo­ cratic machine in the south against his “Fourth Term ” aspira­ tions* ' W e lls had the European complex and w a s one o f the ad ­ herents o f the W a lla c e idea o f a "fr e e qu a rt o f m ilk daily fo r every A frican headhunter” at the expense o f the American income taxpayer.

This column gets some interesting stories o f how different farmers view the A A A Communistic farm program and the manner o f regimentation whereby the farmer must sacrifice personal profit from his efforts or he branded traitor to the war cause. N o t all farmers swallow 1 the Roose­ velt brand o f propaganda about “working longer hours and harder for less” . Farmer WilJkerson, Bath Twp. is evidently one who believes he should have the same opportunity at war time profits as the industrial 1st or the $12 a day war.wOrker, One thing is certain i f he cannot get his share on the farm he can quit and take £ war job or be patriotic and join the army a t $50 a month and keep. IF YOUNEEDPRINTING, DROPIN This well known farmer has fo r years specialized in feeding cattle Tor the prime market. Not so long ago Farmer Wilkerson sent a truck load o f choice feed lot steers to the Day- ton market. The cattle were viewed by local and district buyers and all agreed they were as fine a lot o f prime beef cattle as had come to the Dayton market in months. Bids were placed by different buyers to the commission house representing Farm­ er Wilkerson but they were fa r from what the cattle were worth or had cost to produce. Finally the bidders said they had gone as fa r as they could go under the Roosevelt ceiling prices fo r meat. In fact the bids that day fo r these cattle were about, what was being paid for ordinary grass-run cattl ■that had hot been on corn. Mr, Wilkerson saw he wias up against a loosing proposition and rather than take his loss in a low price fo r prime beef he would take it homeland the cattle were re-loaded in thq truck-and sent back to the farm . Mr. Wilker­ son no doubt thought there might come a day when Daytonians would get tired eating -hamburger meat ground from old dairy cows and would some time relish prime beef steak. A t least he was not going to feed Dayton on cattle at a financial loss to himself. , Mr. Wilkerson could have appealed to the “ friend o f the farmer” the A A A on East Main St. Xenia. I f he could not get a-finan­ cial ‘profit there he would get some good New Deal sales talk. Just fo r the record there was nerjbeef fo r sale .at Arcade meat stands Tuesday after­ noon. Send in your old aged bony cows to the Dayton market where poor beef is to be prefetred 'under the New Deal to prime beef. I f .the editorial w riter on Gov. Cox’s Dayton News should happen to read this or hear o f Farmer Wilkerson’s experience he may report the incident as “ against the 'war effort” . Any time a farmer or farm organization stands up for the rights o f the /farm­ er the News editorial w riter pictures the organization as unpatriotic and the farmer as the original black- market operator. Last Saturday the News tried to tell its readers all a- bout inflation but the News never has much to aay about the national debt being headed into untold billions, not altogether by the Avar, but the New Deal squandering o f the income tax payer's dollar. The editorial in two- column style with display heading asked, “ A re We Beating Inflation?” The seven fireside chat points were reviwed and seven comments followed Here is what the News had to say about farm prices and inflation: Farm prices, by 1 and large, have not been sufficiently stabilized. This is one o f the weakest sectors o f the anti-inflation front. Ceilings have not been extended to large parts of the agricultural industry. When they have been put on they have tended to be high. The failure to stabilize farm prices is giving the labor unions a chance to threaten economic revolt and menace the entire balance 6 f our home front program. For this men ace the timidity o f Congress, and the aggressiveness o f the so-called “ farm bloc” within Congress, is largely re sponsible.” The Ohio Farmer in the current is sue gives the farmer an insight what the Roosevelt Communists have cook­ ed tip fo r the American farmer. It is a di?h o f genuine Russian Stalin farm operation but labeled o f course “ New Deal” . There is to be a fight between Congress and Kposevelt, who is to daddy the movement. Nothing would suit FDR more than draw the rope just a bit tighter Around the neck o f every American farmer, He has been not only displeased over the failure o f all farmers to not fa ll fo r Communism under the A A A label. He is SOre to the point that accepting government checks and then refusing to follow the “ program” is giving his Communist following the “ double- cross” . The A A A county Organiza­ tions were Counted on to sell the Rus­ sian plan and rhake it stick with the farmer whether he liked it or not. Probably One o f the failures o f the plan was the manner In which the A A A played the game politically. I t is a problem to keep the rope around the farmer’s neck- fo r political pur­ poses. ,A lot o f farmers still have that good old American red corpuscle . Leaders in the National Farm Bur­ eau, National Grange, National Coun­ cil o f Co-operative* and Dairy Co-op­ erative* have opposed the Communis tic price control plan fo r all farm products. I t makes no difference whether “Washington wants farm con­ tracts with all farmers as to produc­ tion o f grain and livestock or subsidy farmers that value farms as an in­ vestment had better get posted or what the N ew Dealers are trying tc do pot fo r him but to him. Every farm owner had better take his tenant back o f the bam apd have a heart-to -heart talk. Land owners would be- whipped into paying high real estate as well as the high income tax on “ promised higher farm prices” . Do not think John Lewis, Phil Murray and Bill Green would be fo r a farm plan that would mean cheaper living to industrial workers i f the income tax'-was to be Increased to pay fo r the subsidy. I t was not so many years ago one o f the “ A A A ‘ salary eaters” in this county boasted that Henry Wallace had no faith in either the Grange or the Farm Bureau and he expected to make the A A A the controlling factor over all the farms in the nation as well as owners and the operators; Under the newTangl­ ed proposal gives, a farm teriqnt as much or more say than the owner o f the farm. O f course the plan has to have Congressional approval. Farm Congressmen w ill not he fooled. How about you as a farmer? When the unions demand the “ I want what I Want when I want it” the New Deal' price fixer's “ jump through the hoop” . A certain Dayton restaurant was feeding several hun­ dred war workers daily and the meat allowance did not suit the customers Th'e management increased the cuts to three ounces .per plate. The price fixers said that was too much and the War workers should eat more meat substitutes. The union, CIO said,“ you can’t forge that do\yb qa and give us more meat or - - - else?” The resturant proprietor discovered by giving the three ounces he sdon was several thousand points short in,his New Deal point account. There was no appeal so he announced' a two weeks: vacation for himself and his help. The war workers rebelled and the management said i t was -helpless The workers, said take a vacation but keep the place open. This lead to conference with the restaurant man­ agement, GI(I> and ration executives in the high salaried group that se cured their places by being faithful New Dealers .able to “ hold ,the line” , as Rooseyelt Would say « - fo r Roose­ velt. .» . Several conferences were held hut the ration people said “ No” more points” which would keep meat on restaurant- tables, The CIO turned on the heat by opening a two-way valve-*no meat— no New Deal yotes This brought a new viewpoint fo r the point givers. Here is about how the restaurant shortage was solved and the suggestion o f the point executives, “ Do you sell cigarettes?” I f so add the sales to your dinner sales, “ Do ■you sell chewing gum?” I f so add that' to your dinner sales and you might add other sales also. A ll the time the ration point shortage in ac­ count was being liquidated and bright new balance was to the credit o f the restaurant being built up—at New Deal suggestion with CIO votes in view. The restaurant opened and now has plenty o f meat. We wonder if that, could be the cause o f the beef shortage in tile mid-west meat mar­ ket? I f the restaurant management had -handled beer, bis sales total would give him unlimited point credit. Then he could take a vacation know­ ing business would increase as the meat-ounce-pet-plate would increase. One thing the American people must learn about the New Deal i f you. are engaged in business, leave your con­ science at home with your wife. You can and will do things to meet New Deal orders that your conscience might forbid i f you had it with you ail the time', . One thing 4s sure i f we were edit- 1 g or had control o f a Democratic newspaper and had the New Deal in­ terest at heart We Would try a rebut­ tal to some o f the stories repeated and also printed relative to the Roose­ velt $500,000 vacation in Canada a few weeks ago. For instance there were the reports given out in Xenia by the local delegation that had its experience o f “ waiting at the depot” , fo r hours and hours not knowing that our K ing Franklin had been* on a vacation in the. Canadian Wilds and had right o f Way over i ll common mortals o f clay. These stories as we get them certainly would touch a tender spot in every true Roosevelt New Beal Communistic supporter in or out o f Greene County, i f fo r no other reason any gehuihe Democratic' paper that said its prayers nightly, “ God Rave Our King” , should at least p ffer denial and make some attempt such as the OW I would do by saying this circulators o f the lies were try* ng to harm the war effo rt Or were just dyed-in-the-wool isolationist* ’Q»e$ "would rrtim* ’^ ''$ 1 5 * ba r* a good word fo r the “ K ing o f Earthly Kings” , ALONG FARM FRONT (C ohhnusd F rom F irst P age ) ■i-mmStm V One o f our Dayton associates, a business man o f repute, who has in the past been "ho t and cold” fo r Dem­ ocratic candidates, owns a fishing re­ sort not so fa r from where the Xenia delegation was located and just across the bay from the Canadian American White House. He knows the Indian Guide “ MacGregor” , Bradley, and all the other famous fisherman guides. They also know their “ fish” , and where to find them, fo r it is there they feed them daily. For a price you can have a “fisherman’s luck and a catch worth while” . The Daytoniao while out in the midst o f this lake from an airplane heard the following “ keep close to shore.” Seeing’ a U. 3. patrol boat in the distance he wonder­ ed what was going on, not knowing it was the day and hour fo r hooking one o f the finney tribe by a K in g from a new country. This Daytonian had a neighbor, the w ife o f an Eastern man­ ufacturer, who also owned a tract on this same body o f water. While the lady, was picking elderberries, a boat o f U. S. uniformed soldiers upon seeing the lady ordered he.r away from the water’s edge, not knowing it was the day fo r a King to try his luck, then.being aome fiv e miles out in the lake. Now, if. this column was a supporter o f the ‘k in g business” , we Would not stand fo r all these stories being put out to “ injure the war effort” . We would try our hand to prove that everything the Xenians came home and reported was a “ blankety-blarik-infernal-lie”, told to purposely give aid to Hitler and make Mussolini more., comfortable in jhis hiding place, to escape the danger o f American bombs now being dropped on Italy, CURE SWEET POTATOES BEFORE STORING LEGAL NOTICE Ruth Harness, whose place o f resi­ dence is unknown and cannot with reasonable diligence be ascertained will take notice that on the 19th day o f August, 1943, Roy Harness filed his certain action against her in. di­ vorce on the grounds of,extreme cruelty and gross neglect, o f duty, said, cause being Np. 23262 on’ tb.e docket o f the Common Pleas Court o f Greene' County, Ohio, and that said matter Will come fo r hearing on or after October, 9th, 1943, (8-27-6-10-1) V , MARCUS SHOUP, Attorney for-Plaintiff.

Special attention: in storing the crop will be needed to prevent waste o f a consid­ erable part o f the crop. Swept po­ tatoes are quite perishable unless cured proRerly before storing. A t digging time, the potatoes should be le ft on the ground until dry, then spread thinlyron a floor and allowed to dry throughly before being placed in a Warm dry storage* F A L L WEBWORM ABUND ANT The unsightly webs on various trees which are unusually abundant this, year are those o f the fa ll web- worm. I f onl a few webs are present they may be clipped and burned. When the webs are abundant the tree should be sprayed with lead arsenate a t the rate o f two pounds to 50 gallon o f water. SEED GRA IN SCARCE There is concern about the supply o f suitable grain fo r fall, seeding. In the firs t” place, much o f the bav- Ipy and rye, is being used as feed. This is due to the satisfactory return ed its use as feed plus prospects fo r a smaller corn crop than last ear. Secondly, the quality „o f most wheat is below that o f jthe past several sea­ sons due to ‘ the Heavy scab infection. BROWN ROT SERIOUS ON PEACH AND PLUM Now is the time to spray •peaches and plums if serious damage from brown rot is to be prevented.. A sul­ fur spray or dust should be applied and repeated after each rain to give continous protection until picked. For a spray use 6 to 8 pounds of wettable sulfur per 100 gallons o f water. I f you' are going to use dust, pse a (lasting sulfur. Fruit is scarce and high priced. Don’t let it rot on the trees. Ross E.
