?Hi
Little Farmer May
Not Have To
Plant
The little farmer whose allot
ment is too small to justify plant
ing the crop may get some relief
in the following.
The following letter was writ
ten to Hon. Harold D. Cooley,
Congressman from this District
by the Editor of the FRANKLIN
TIMES:
"I am attaching herewith ^ '
tear sheet from the current edi
tion of the FRANKLIN TIMES!
containing an editorial calling at
tention to a provision that should
be provided in the operation of
crop control. I believe that a
farm owner whose acreage allot
ment has been cut so low that he
cannot make that crop at a rea
sonable profit should be allowed
to eliminate it from his crop
plans without being denied fu
ture allotments or deprived of his
rental or parity payments.
"It might be necessary to pro
vide a maximum acreage to which
this could apply. It doesn't seem
fair to force him to make a crop
at a loss under penalty of losing
the benefits of future allotments
and benefit payments. I believe
you could do a large number of
farmers a great service by having
this idea inserted- into the con
trol plans.
"Thanking you for your con
sideration and with best- wishes,
I am"
^ The following is the editorial
tq which reference is made:
"Some plan should be arranged
in the new Crop Control set up
whereby a farmer whose acreage
has been cut to the point he can
not operate economically and
wants to discontinue planting
cotton and tobacco for one or
more years, may do so without
being deprived of his reqlals,
parity and other payments or de
clared a non-tobacco or cotton far
mer and not given future allot
ments. One should be encourag
ed to discontinue the production,
rather than be forced to produce
on an allotment that will create
a loss?"
On Wednesday the editor re
ceived the following reply from
Congressman Cooley. which looks
as if a plan as a'uggested will be
followed:
Nashville, N. C.
October 17, 1939.
Mr. A. F. Johnson,
Louisburg, North Carolina.
"My dear Mr. Johnson: ? I thank
you very much for your letter of
the 13th instant calling attention
to an editorial which appeared In
a recent Issue of the FRANKLIN
TIMES. |
"I should be very glad to call
the matter to the attention of the
Department of Agriculture and
urge that the program be modi
fled so as to permit farmers to
discontinue production without
being deprived of rentals or par
ity payments. This matter was
discussed by our Committee and
1 was under the Impression that
action was taken and the Depart
ment had assured us of its inten
tion to so modify the program.
"I agree with you that It seems
foolish to require farmers to
plant crops which cannot be prof
itably grown as a prerequisite to
receiving payments.
"Thanking you for calling this
matter to my attention and assur
ing you of my desire to cooper
ate in every way, I am, with cor
dial good wishes,
"Sincerely yours,
HAROLD It COOLEY."
