Fails Because Of
Small Allotments
The following letter of Senator
J W. B* to Hon Clarence Pot
on the gKttiou of Control. ? .11
1>e re-ad with interest by many:
Dr Clarence Pot. Editor,
Tfc?- ProgrfBEJT*-, Farn,t-r.
Raleigh. V C.
My d?*r Pot:
Your statement In- -he pi per
tn:e morning interested me very
snuch. I afw with yoo thai- the
loDUM control election filled be
?auM- tbere were so many bmiil
farneii who were dissatisfied with
ibeir allotments I iiunk they were
jurtjy dissatisfied. In any allot
ment plan, the primary consider,
auon ought to be allotment
? ? a Kien t to snstain a family. Th~
authorities were fair and candid
in letting the farmers know ;n ad
nance what- their allotment*
woold be. but this coat them
many a xovt Heads of families,
finding that their allotments were
an acre or two acre* or rtiree
acr? s. or fire hundred pounds or
a tbouaano pounds or two thous
and poinds, did not think it jost
and tbey were unwilling to Tote x>
rettnet themselves to such. small
.ncomea and such i.mited oppor- *
tunnies. (
I hope it wilJ oe rememne e<i
tiiat I made a rather desperate
fight to obtain lajger 'allotments
for the imali farmers when the
present legislation ?ai pending
It a not ?ont while no* to call
attention to the force* that defeat
ed my amendment. I believe if '?e
amendment had been adopted
Thousands who voted against the
tomxrol program would hare vgied
for It. If ever we return w? any
thing like the present plan. I
trust I may have your uncompro.
otismg support of legislation to
insure to tie small farmers reas
onable living allotments.
As for cotton. 1 do not think <
the farmers Toted for control ?
They were informed quite candid
ly t4bat if the election should fail,
the Department mould abandon
its lending policy and of course ,
tbi*' meant that- the Talue of cot
ton held by '.te Government for
the farmer* and cotton oil hand |
mould immediately drop. Very
naturally farmers who had obtain
ed loans did not wish to hare their
loans railed under such circum
stances
I>et me suggest that in any pro.
gram we contemplate, we should
provide for c-rtaiu things as fol
lows
1. Family ?ii*d farmers uiuf
be protected by reasonably suti ic
iest allotments.
2. We must pursue a policy
ttiat will tend to preserve our for
eign market for tobacco, and if
possible, to recover as much of
I he lost foreign market for cotton,
as possible.
3. Soil Conservation must be
pressed with all earnestness. It
is invaluable to the farmers and
to the South and to the Nation.
4 The opportunity of Nor"A
Carolina farmers to expand in
live stock, dairy products, poul
try and eggs must be preserved,
legislation in compulsory control
bills tending to restrict tbi* type
of production spells ruin for North
Carolina. I think our cotton far
mers must find a substitute for
cotton and 1 See no substitute ex.
cept in lire stock, dairy products,
poultry and eggs. a
5. In the Soil C oawrrvation
program. abundant provision
should lie ifiade for the rebuild
ing of forests and the cuitivjaion
of forests as., well as soil building
by means or legumes and winter
crops and grazing crops.
In event Jhe Congress shall
move in the direction of voluntary
measures. I suggest tfcat we may
bring about sf~"t>alaneed agricul
ture under such measures and
that if we can. such program will
be incomparably more acceptable
than a program of compulsion and
penalties.
For example, it is beyond ques
tion that- the Federal Govern ment
will be appropriating from 1750.
000,000 to II, 000,000. 000 for pay.
menu to farmers in one form or
another for an indefinite time to
tome. These payment* may go for
soil conservation, for forestry
building, for crop loans, for pari
ty payments and even for boon
tie* upon exports. I think the
Government conld reasonably re
quire that farmers who received
such benefit* should comply sub
stantially with a program of bal
anced agriculture. Such a pro.
gram ought to be reasonable In
order to receive a proper support.
This Is control by way of induce
ment or reward rather ttoan by
way of penalty and coercion.
<. Finally, I suggest that our
