JBOB REYNOLDS WEEKLY LETTER »r SENATOR SAYS MORE r.IRM LEGISLATION IS BOOKED FOR THE NEXT, SESSION OF CONGRESS. * As I pause in a swing across be state to dictate this column, J I It Is becoming more and more evident that the effort to draft new farm legislation when Con-! ftiww convenes will be marked by 8 Bha,T> controversy over whether! there shall be direct sudsidies to •griculture or production con trol. Each of the two plans has many supporters. The action of' I the agriculture commissioners from ten Southern States in ap-! proving the subsidy idea is sig- 1 nificant. Those opposed to production control contend, and with merit to their contentions, that weath er and pest conditions cannot be controlled and enter st'ongly into | the situation. They argue that "if there is production control xirought or ranfall, pests or some other emergency can wipe out all the ga'ls made through crop shortages. Moreover,, it is al ways difficult to get all farmers to agree to production control. In industry, it is claimed, when Bome industrial plants arc faced with a slow-down in production, others speed-up and take advan tage of that situation. The same 1 holds true for agriculture and in many cases production control does not wo"k evenly. The tour of members of tho^ 1 Senate Committee on Agricul- 1 ture through the belts will un- ' •doubtedly develop much informa-Ji tion as to what the farmers want. One suggestion already made, ; I in connection with cotton, is that the price be pegged with regard MADISONI Fair SEPT. 20 TO 251 We have booked the I I Dixie Model Shows for I our fair this season, I which are bigger and I better than ever.

I > to domestic consumption and that ' the surplus be "dumped" into the 1 world markets. It is rightly claimed that to carry through such a plan would require tariff changes to prevent an influx of cheap goods from abroad made ' from the "dumped" American cotton. Many vetran Senators who have spent with the problems of agriculture always lin their mind, are strongly oppos ed to production control. In fact, the disagreement over production control as proposed in Administration measures intro- I duccd at the last session of Con gress haj much to' do with P rc_ venting the enactment of a new farm program. But in the end the law will probablly be framed on j the basis of what the farmers themselves and the leaders of farm organisations want. To as certain this is the purpose of the field studies of the Senate Com mittee. Many Congressional leaders recognize that with a short ses sion generally favored, due to the 1938 election, it would be ex tremely difficult to start in on what is generally described as "tariff tinkering". This fact alone, some contend, may help swing support toward production control for the present, with more permanent legislation to be draft ed later. Tariff changes despite the i fact that there is a great need for better protection for the farmer have always been one j of the most controversial legis- j lative questions. Thus to open I tariff debate in the next session, along with the prospects of new tax legislation, might throw Con gress into a muddle worse than that of the last session.

SEARS. ! With the harvesting of tobacco' and corn, and before the small grain is sown is one of the best times to build terraces. Many farmers have realized as never before the value of properly con structed terraces. After a summer of hard rains they have seen that terraces protect the land from severe erosion. A number of farmers who had terracing done last year have already made the statement that their terraces have over-paid for the cost of construction by the amount of toil that they have saved. It has been clearly demonstrated on many farms that terraces do not. injure the quality of tobacco so| the idea that terracing ruins to bacco land can no longer be he]d against terracing work. Due to the slack season in ter racing during the summer, our terracing equipment has been at I work in another county, but we plan to bring it back within a few weeks and we would like very much f° r those farmers wha would like to have terraces con structed, farm roads built, or any other work that the terracing outfit can do, to make their re quest known to the county agent's office if tht-.y have not already done so. We would like for the equipment to 3erve as j many farmers as possible between now and Christmas.
