I Discussed
I By FRANK REAMS,
County Agent
Although the percentage of
eligible people voting December
15th was comparatively
low the ones voting were almost
unamious in their opinion
that a yes vote was in the best
interest of the country compared
to a negative vote. In Warren
County 520 votes were submitted
for Cotton Quotas and
19 against. The 23" votes cast
for peanut were 100 r'r per
quotas. It was a little different
in the 10c per bale cotton
assessment vote, where 424 voted
for and 53 against.
What about these public
Farm Programs?
^ t During the past few years,
government subsidies have
been one of the favorite topics
of discussion among people in
the United States. In practically
all cases, the only form of
subsidy generally discussed is
government payments to agriculture.

By County
I is only a drop in the bucket j
I tuuijjaieu iu on uwer government
subsidies.
Government programs do
not just happen. They are;
brought about as a result of|
an existing or foreseeable need. |
For example, the agricultural!
programs prior to and during i
the second World War contrib-|
uted to the plentiful supply of|
food and fiber to meet the i
enormous demand during thatj
time. Today our agriculture is,
highly productive and we havej
| adequate stocks as an insur |
ance against any shortage in |
I the event of an extended na-1
i tional emergency.
Public programs of education]
i and research have been highly \
successful A progressive Amer |
| lean agriculture has produced j
I a bounty of food and fiber for;
a rapidly growing industrial I
population. Both farm and nonfarm
people support these programs
in the belief that they
help provide for continued:
rapid growth of our economy.

Resouce Conservation
Early conservation program
were aimed at preservation o
natural resources on publii
land. In the 1920's and i930's
public interest expended ti
privately-owned farm resources
A wide-spread conviction dc
veloped that public program
were nescessary to provide fo
future food and fiber needs.
Numerous programs havi
been established since the earl;
1930s to encourage conserva
tion and development of pri
vately owned farm resources
Over-all, these programs havi
been highly successful. The;
receive strong support fron
farm and nonfarm people.
Regulation Of Prices
And Production
Regulation of prices and pre
duction by givernment has re
ceived slow acceptance. But ii
the 1920's, some farm leader
became convinced that a frei
agriculture has undesirabl
characteristics. They arguei
that output uncertaintlv due t
natural causes, the nature o
consumer demand and the cos
structure of agriculture subjec
it to wide price and incom
variations. As a result, agr:
cultural resources are usei
inefficiently, and consumer
experience wide swing ii
prices and availability of fooi
and fiber Many people argue
that government interventioi
to regulate prices and pre
duction could improve agricu'
ture's contribution to the pec
pie as a whole.
The first legislation to regi
late farm prices came in th
late 1920's. Additional legisl;
tion to regulate farm price
and production came in th
1930's. Much progress wa
made in the 1930's toward th
development of workable an
valuable programs. But Worl
War II altered this situatior
It became necessary to increas
farm production, not restric
it. Farmers sought and gaine
legislative amendments whie
guaranteed high, rigid post-wa
price supports.
We have been slow in in
proving farm prices and pr<
duction programs. As a resul

Conclusions
Farm programs have devel-)!
oped from a widespread belief
that they are in the public, '
interest. They have their prob- '
lems, particularly in adjusting
to changing needs But they t
can help agriculture to serve
the nation better.

t-pine cones for colored flames',
1 ' i ' 1
l| is simple | ,
e In preparing cones for burn-i,
'-,ing, use 2 tablespoons of pow-|
J j dered glue in one gallon
s water. Dip the pine burrs and .
"'drain. Sprinkle various chem-Jt
i I icals. finely powdered, on them !
d I and let dry. I ,
o | Powdered strontium chloride i

I-1 green flame, try barium'
-chloride. Copper sulphate.'
I yields a blue glow while a lav-l
i-|ender flame is produced fromj
ej potassium chloride. Sodium
i-ichloride (table salt) gives a;
s delightful yellow flame. For!
eja sparkle, just sprinkle steel I
s | dust which has been saved ] 1
e when tools were filed over the
d I flame. I ,
dl Another method that may be,
