Farm Bureau M Opposition To Price Ceiling Program Board of Directors Pass Resolution at Special Meeting T. O. A shell, President of the Cho wan County Farm Bureau, says that the board of directors of the North Carolina Farm Bureau, at a special meeting last week in Raleigh, voted unanimously the following resolution designed to further emphasize (the Farm Bureau's position with reference to controlling inflation: The North Carolina Farm Bureau maintains that inflation cannot be controlled by price ceiling on raw agri cultural commodities for the following reasons: 1— Farmers cannot afford to pro duce agricultural commodities under a ceiling price when the cost of produc tion is rapidly increasing and will ultimately result in the farmer pro ducing his commodities at a loss. 2 Records show that since 1947 the farmer’s net income has decreased from 18 billions to 13 billions. This is a decrease of over 30 per cent. 3 Last year the farmer received an average wage pf only 69 cents per hour in comparison to the industrial worker’s wage scale of $1.60. No consideration was given for the farm ers managerial ability, and a scant 6 per cent was allowed on his invest ment. The North Carolina Farm Bureau maintains that the only possible so lution to the inflation problem is to increase productions; eliminate non essential governmental expenditures; provide non-inflation handling of mon etary and fiscal policies; strict credit controls ;and a pay-as-you-go system of taxation. This program will increase produc tion, keep our free markets, and ulti mately put food on American tables at a reasonable price. Mr. Asbell said that R. Flake Shaw, Executive Vice-President, NCFB, com pared the farmer’s decreasing margin to a “hay-bale press,” with the cost of living Converging on him from one side, and price ceilings from the other side, thereby “squeezing” his meager margin of profit. Shaw pointed out that “Farm Bureau is going all out to get the price control provisions of the Defense Production Act eliminated.” This act is scheduled to expire June 30, and it is up to the Congress to determine its fate. A minimum membership quota for this State has been set at 80,000 by the Board of Directors with a 100,000 maximum quota. This quota will be made up from the County membership. Will H. Rogers, FB Director of Or ganization, said that awards similar to those made in the past would be offered by the State Farm Bureau, to counties reaching or exceeding mini mum membership quotas. Individual awards will also be made for member BjPjgn TWOPAYS—rajPAIMfc SATjygrj ■BALL POINT PEN I L JRfBITIS TO S YIAKS WITHOUT UWUJII* _„ 'H HTMs moms udoobr *9< entitles bearer to the famouajuMNMnMß ■ WlNFliU> MVMrpant pen.
