PAGE TEN Shaw Is Disturbed Over Press Reports Explains Stand Follow ing Return From Trip To Washington R. Flake Shaw, Executive Vice- President, North Carolina Farm Bur eau, said this week on his return from Washington that he is “disturb ed at the attempts being made by the administration to influence the public press on the false relationship be tween price supports aSd price ceil ings in dealing with our problem of inflation.” Shaw made it clear that “in my seventeen years of experience in deal ing with the farm program, it has taught me that there is a fundament al difference between price supports and price ceilings. What some people don't seem to understand is that price supports guarantee production, which curbs inflation. Price ceilings destroy the incentive to produce, thereby add ing to inflationary principles.” The Farm Bureau official, who has attended recent hearings on the De fense -Production Act, said that most Congressmen felt that they should do something about our inflation problem, recognizing its unsound val ues and destructive influence on the American way of life, but in taking this stand against the Administration and OPS it would tend to “weaken their political stability.” He pointed out that most Congress men “attempt to bypass the issues and deal with the symptoms of in flation rather than its causes, thus deceiving the public with the so-called cover-up law which has proven to be so impractical and completely un workable.” Shaw said that the North Carolina Farm Bureau and the American Farm Bureau “have a clear record of op position to government price fixing and have been for moderate level price supports which would insure farmers against unreasonable price decline and at the sarrm time permit free markets to operate.” He called attention to the Farm Bureau’s recent resolution concerning the price support issue which reads: « , it is not the responsibility of the government to guarantee pro fitable prices to any economic group. Instead, we view farm price sup port as appropriate and necessary protection against unreasonable price declines . . . Price supports should be flexible. The level of support should be related to farm supplies and market requirements and should be used as one of iac- Cooked Fine Dinner; Threw it TO DOG!

Furthermore, it is in the interest of the general public for agriculture to have a brake against a complete price collapse.” Shaw explained price supports as being a counterpart of minimum ■nnnfUWW**»* *i^'*^^ <> ** ** • • *> 4 .

W. Overman. A small plot of about 120 plants was treated in each of the three farms. The tobacco was topped during the early stage of blooming. At the time of topping 60 plants were treated with oil emulsion and 00 plants were treated with mineral oil. Results of these demonstrations were checked last week. On the Chamber's Ferry farm, operated by Bristoe Perry, in the Macedonia Community, it was possi ble to get a definite check on the number of suckers that appeared af ter topping where no treatment was used. The plants treated with oil emulsion showed an average of 5.9 suckers, pep plant and the, suckers averaged 5.6 inches in length'. Plants treated with mineral oil showed an average of 6.0 suckers per plant and the suckers averaged 6.3 inches long.
