EIGHT
AAA To Press
Farm Campaign
Suits On Processing Tax
Move Administration To
Reassure Growers
Washington, July 23.?Alarmed
at possible effects of processing
tax suits upon farmers themselves
AAA officials today planned an
extensive campaign to reassure
signers of crop control contracts.
They insisted the question of
AAA's constitutionality will not
affect present adjustment contracts.
But, officials nevertheless
were said to fear a considerable
misunderstanding on the part of
lariiusio.
It is possible, an official said
that many farmers, reading accounts
of more than 350 suits
contesting the validity of processing
taxes and the AAA, may
decide that it is not worth while
to sign adjustment contracts.
Such reaction in widespread
form he explained would be considered
equally as damaging as
the processing tax suits.
It is to combat this situation
the official said, the new educational
campaign is being charted.
It was said word has been
passed along to Production Control
association committeemen
throughout the nation to lend assistance
in assuring farmers thati
the adjustment contracts are valid
legal agreements and will be
carried out by the government
Barely a Chaser
A Chelsea pensioner reported |
sick one morning, complaining of
Indigestion.
The M. O. asked him several
questions regarding his diet one
of them being "How much beer !
do you drink a day?"
The pensioner replied, "Six to j
eight pints?if I can get it."
"Gracious," said the M. O. I
"enough to have a bath in."
"Enough to have a bath in,
sir!" replied the old warrior.
"Why when I was soldiering it!
wouldn't be enough to wet a good
soldier's mustache!"
""Waiter, these are very small
"oysters."
"Yes, sir."
"And they don't appear to be
very fresh."
"Then it's lucky they're small
ain't it, sir?"

took place at Salisbury, Southjern

I between representatives of the

Washington, July IS.?The new,
era of code making got under

commission.
Wholesale tobacco distributors;
submitted for the commission's
approval an agreement to esab- j

hours, to bar child labor,
and ban 18 unfair trade practices. |
Commission approval of the I
voluntary code as submitted was
generally expected since the code
was written under the supervision
of officials of commission's |
fair trade practice section.
Says County Agents !
Did Great Work
Writing in the July-August is-1
_ |
sue of the official magazine of |
! the Potash Institute, Better Crops!
with Plant Food, Jeff McDermid |
reminds the nation that the county
farm agents were given an
emergency job when the AAA
field work was organized and i
that the agents came through j
in a highly acceptable manner,
says Dean I. O. Schaub, director
of agricultural extension at State
College.
The Dean quote3 the magazine
as follows:
"Thoughtful surveys of the Extension
Service in these recent |
years of farm credit and crop |
adjustment, drought hazards and (
| super-organization in a crisis,
convince anyone that the machine
! ran smoothly. In a few days
more than 70,000 production con- j
trol committeemen were hitched j
into the harness and ready to i
I drive ahead in the greatest single \
piece of social engineering that
American farming has witnessed.
County Agents did it.

Flynn Is A Farmer
Of Mystery
Freeman, July 19.?Beyond all
doubt S. E. Flynn, our local J. P.,
is to many a farmer of mystery.
There is a busy-bo<3y reporter
who has tried time and again to
check up on Mr. Flynn's farming,
but to date he has been
unsuccessful. Nearly every time
he runs up with Mr. Flynn he
finds him seated some place beneath
a shade comfortably enjoying
a large chew of tobacco.
Yet, Mr. Flynn goes to the tobacco
markets with some of the
finest weed offerings to be sure.
Then, when the time comes over
in the spring for another year,
when everyone else seems to be
out of corn Br*er Flynn has plen*"

rumored, also, that somewhere he
always has a fine watermelon
patch. But so far as that reporter
is concerned Br'er Flynn's
melon patch simply does not exist.
