After the first war there was no
program. Mr. Pate stated, and the

at the cross-roads this year. We
may neglect our opportunity to
administer our own program and
let control of agriculture slip away
from us, or we may unite behind
the farm pre/gram and build for a
better and stronger agriculture in
the future. It is our choice. If you

voting. If you wish changes made
