Here’s what Broom has to say on
the subject:
“This week two farmers were In
my office at the same time, both
enroute to selective service boards.
Each man was 56 years old. The
first had a wife, two daughters. 14
and 16 years old, and a son, 16. His
farming report was as followr: 20
acres of cotton In 1946, yield, 10
! bales; 10 acres of corn, yield, 50
bushels; no wheat, no data, no mix
ed grain, no lespedeza, no other hay
crop*, half an acre Irish and sweet
potatoes, half an acre of garden;
tjvo cows, one hog, 2£ hens.
• The other man, a widower, said
that his family consisted of his 18-
year-old son and his sister, who was
keeping house for them. His farm
ing report follows: four acres of
'cotton, five bales harvested, the
remainder plowed uhder In order
that what might be harvested; 15
acres of corn yielded 600 bushels;
i five acres of wheat yielded 96 bush
els; 50 acres of oats yielded 1,950
bushels ;12 acres of mixed grain
yielded 380 bushels; 70 acres of
lespedeza returned 40 tons of hay
and 4,000 pounds of seed, some of |

the crop being plowed under for soil I
improvement; one acre of potatoes
and one acre of garden; 10 milch'
cows, 17 other cattle, four hogs, 25'
laying hens and sufficient broilers
for home use.
“The first man said that If his
boy were inducted into the army,
he ‘simply could not make a living’;
the second fellow said that If his
boy should be called, he would be
forced to sell Ills cows but that he
would still make a good living.”
