Dear ThrCe'Ps:
Fropi various articles I have
jbeen reading it would seem that
the ayerage taxpayer is paying
his taxes to make millionaires
*>f farmers under the govern-J
pient aid -to farmers program.
At one time I had great respect |
ior farmers and from my read-'
ing of tftfe' (listory of the coun-1
try farmers' at one time were
leaders in many fields of gov- (
ernment activity. If only a par-1
tion of what is printed is true 1
then the situation is indeed rot
ten. How did this come about?

| idea of the situation which may
not be a complete answer. Gen
. er&Uy speaking the reasons for
the development of the farm
program are two: (1) During
' the depression the farmers, like
a great many other people, were
i bard hit and an attempt was
made to pump money into the
j hands of farmers to stimulate
'buying power; (2) An attempt
| was made to equalize the dif
ference between what the farm
er had to pay for the products j
of industry and the prices he I
received for farm products. J
However, this attempt to equal- 1
ize this difference has created
more inequities than the inequi- j
ty it tried to correct, as is true
in every field cf economic and
, social activities where this is
! tried. During the war period
I to stimulate production the gov
' emment adopted a policy of
(guaranteed fixed price support!
and it has continued ever since
,This has resulted in huge crops
i and increased acreage to take
1 advantage of the easy money.
Then there have been other
programs cf aid to the farm
such as soil conservation, tax
exempt cooperatives and allow
ances for federal gasoline taxes
The causes for the increased
crops are two: (1) Increased
acreage, which the govemmen 1
r - thought would be reduced; (2)
■) Improved and more efficient
farm machinery. The result is
| greatly increased crops leading
| to large surpluses which have
. to be bought by the government
i and stored at great coot. It
. must be said that all farmers
do not profit from this program,
but mostly the large operators
in the mid-west and western
areas of the country. The es
, feet of all of this is many sid
| ed. First there is a lowering
iof the moral standard to make
money out of a program design
|ed to be of help. Secondly cor
| porations have been formed to
operate large areas to profit
from the farm program. Then,
there is the buying up or leas
ing of abandoned and non-pro-j
ductive land to put under the
soil conservation p-ogram. The'
| program was not designed for!
this purpose but to reduce acre
age already in production and t
conserve the soil. There are a
great many crops under the farm
support program but the crops
receiving the largest support are’
naturally the staple crops of,
wheat and corn. Os the many
products in storage it has been
'.aid that a great many rot. are'
'.tolen or just disappear. Then
it has been alleged that poorer
grades of wheat have been im
ported from Canada and placed
under the program. It has been
claimed that many processing
firms buy the products from the!
government at low prices and
then sell them back to the mili-j
tary at outlandish profits. There,
are other effects of the pro- j
gram which cannot be enumerat
ed here but one of the most
trying effects is the political sit- (
uation between this count-y and |
Canada and other wheat rais- 1
ing countries. We undersell
Canada in foreign markets to
get rid of the wheat and this
has an adverse effect on Ca
nadian exports of wheat, and |
Canada is a large producer.
Then the give away program to
countries who previous bought
from other wheat producing
countries has upset the world i
markets. There are two phases
of the program that are receiv
ing public critic ; sm: One the
cooperatives—in the middle west
these co-ops 'have grown into
big business, they operate man-1
ufacturing plants, food process- 1
ing plants and even hospital*. I
They are all tax exempt and it,
is claimed that they are so-!
cialist-communist parasi'e or-!
ganizations feeding on the tax |
playing producing commun'ty. l

DR. PAUL F. WHITAKER
I At a meeting held in Kinston
last week Dr. Paul F. Whitaker
was appointed state chairman of
the 1959 Chris.'mas Seal cam
paign, which will open Novem
ber 16.
Then there is the effect on the
1 non-farming community who are
supporting the program. It is
that since the beginning
of the progralm the government
has invested between eighteen
and twenty billion dollars; that
the program for 1959-1960 calls
for the expenditure of six billion
in addition to one billion dol
lars per year for storage charg-l
es. Then there are a great
I many other charges for super
vision and control of the stored
j crops; deposition and shipping
I and other controls. It is fur
ther stated other than for de
fense purposes, twenty cents of
1 every tax dollar paid to the
! government goes to the farmer.
This raises a question of whether
this is not unconstitutional, tak
ing the taxpayers’ dollar for the
benefit of a specific class in
f the community. It would be
worth a test case before the
U. S. Supreme Court.
' Dear Three P’s:.
| When I was seventeen I mar
ried a man in the military ser
vice. While he was stationed
in this country we were very
happy and have two children, a
boy and a girl. Since he has
| been stationed abroad his let
ters are few and far between.
I In fact they are very cool let
-1 ters and in one 'he even hinted
|at divorce. It is true I am re
! ceiving dependants’ support al
lowance. He never answers my
! questions about going to live
with him. What should I do, for
I do love him?
—Jessica.
Dear Jessica: /
This, of course, is a situation
unless handled properly could
rad in sad consequences of a
divided family. In the first
place in your letters to him do
not be at all critical in any
way; keep the burden on him.
Then try to find out how long
his tour of duty abroad will be.
Keep your letters full of infor
mation about the children, how
they are growing and develop
ing and how they are waiting to
see him when he returns. Keep
yourself in the background oth
er than to tell him that you
miss him and love him. This
treatment should have some ef
fect on the tenacles of his heart
and bring about a change in his
attitude.
