NEW FARM POLICY.
SOME CONFUSION. '
FARMERS DIVIDED.
COMPROMISE EXPECTED.
CONTROL IS CERTAIN.
(Haga S. Sims, Washington Corres
pond enL)
The special session of Congress next
month will have especial interest to
the farmers of the United States be
cause out of its deliberations a new
and more-or-less permanent farm pol
icy is expected to evolve. While em
phasis has been placed upon crop
control there is considerable differ
ence of opinion as to exactly what
will be done.
When Congress adjourned in con
siderable confusion so far as farm
legislation was concerned there were
three bills awaiting committees of
both houses. All provided for crop
control, but the measure proposed by
Rep. Marvin Jones, chairman of the
House Committee, sought to attain it
by voluntary action of farmers in re
turn for the benefits they received.
The other measures, introduced by
Rep. John W. Flanagan, Jr., of Vir
ginia, and Senator Pope of Idaho,
would provide compulsory marketing
quotas. This idea has the endorsement
of the Farm Bureau Federation, that
has also insisted upon some inclusion
of Secretary Wallace's ever-normal
granary plan.
? Just as there is a difference of
opinion among legislators one finds
a divided counsel coming from var
ious farm groups. For example, the
Farm Bureau Federation's advocacy
of more stingent control is not endor
sed by the National Grange or the
Farmer's Union, both of which tend to
shy away from rigid government con
trol and penalties. The latter organ
izations will hold meetings in Novem
ber, during which their positions will
be made clearer and it may be that
bumper wheat, corn and cotton crops
will veer them toward a more drastic
form of control than their leaders now
sponsor.
Meanwhile, two senatorial commit
tees are holding hearings over the
nation for the purpose of laying the
groundwork of a farm bilL One is
headed by Senator E. D. (Cotton)
Smith, whose past record does not
indicate any intention of giving ad
ministration measured wholehearted
support. In fact, he probably had a
lot to do with the failure of the last
Congress to pass a farm bill. Another
committee, headed by Senator Pope
is seeking the views of the producers
and the two committees will join for
several joint sessions before returning
to Washington.
Rep. Jones says the measure that
his committee will present to the
house will provide for the continua
tion and simplifications of the pres
ent soil conservation program; the
objective of a fair division of the
national income for the farmers; the
ever-normal granary through a stor
age warehouse program and commod
ity loans; local administration where
ever possible and a search for new
markets. His method of crop control
is voluntary, financed by processing
taxes, the suggestion being two cents
a pound on cotton and about ten cents
a bushel on the heavier grains. What
recommendations will come from the
two Senatorial committees have not
been revealed, although there is much
discussion of the possibility of secur
ing funds for a farm program through
use of customs receipts. This would
run counter to the President's bud
get-balancing as these receipts are in
cluded in the general revenues of
the government.
Secretary Wallace is not considered
adamant in regards to any particular
plan, 1 though believing that the Farm
Bureau plan would be less expensive
and more efficient than any voluntary
crop control He is represented as will
ing to compromise on terms. It is
generally believed that agreement on
control of tobacco and cotton, both
suffering from bumper crops, will be
comparatively easy and that it may
be wisest to leave the question of
voluntary or compulsory limitations
on corn and wheat open for later ac
tion, when a situation develops that
would create a demand for more de
finite control of these crops.

I DETAILS OF THE FINAL COUNT I
IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN STRICT SECRECY as to the number of subscriptions turned in by each candidate during this LAST PERIOD OF
The big circulation campaign, the race will be brought to a close under a sealed ballot box. No subscriptions whatsoever will be accepted through
the Campaign Department this period, but instead, the Candidates themselves will deposit their final collections in a sealed box located at The
Enterprise office. By doing so, no one, nbt even the Campaign Manager nor the publisher can possibly know the voting strength of the respective
Candidates, which preludes any possibility of favorism and insures fairness to the minutest degree. Sealed, the box now reposes in the Enterprise ? I
office, where it will remain until the closing hour of the Campaign, 8 o'clock Saturday night.
When the Final HOUR arrives, the campaign will be declared closed. -The judges will break the seals, open the box, and immediately thereafter,
or as soon as votes can be issued on subscriptions contained therein, the last county will begin. The winners will be determined by merely adding
the .vote totals of the candidates at the close of the third period to those contained in the l>allot box. There will be no waiting, no complicated count
but simply of adding the totals and announcing the winners.
It is calculated that it will require some time, however, to canvass the findings in the box and determine the winners. The official results will
be published in next week's issue of The Farmville Enterprise.
I FINAL FATEFUL HOURS
?With the final hour 8 o'clock, Saturday night, emblazoned on their minds, stirring
? scenes are being enacted by cadidates in the Eterprise's great subscription campaign
now swiftly drawing to a close?Aroused to unprecedented opportunities of winning

I a small fortune, each passing hour is instilling new energy into ambitious workers.
Everywhere they are swarming in eager and anxous quest for subscriptions that win
? them big votes?and in the end a big prize.
I THESE WORKERS j
I Pay no attention to frequent rumors going around with hope of damaging effect Mis
leading stories have but one object?influencing some candidate to retire for fear of
? being passed by someone else in the race. Such tales have no foundation whatsoever.
? It is obvious that no one can determine the results of the campaign.
? COURAGE AND DOWNRIGHT HUSTLE
are two things that will win the prizes and all candidates should?and, for that matter
and?taking upon themselves to annex as many votes as possible between now and
I the close. The road ahead my be strewn with barriers but these will of the slight con
-
