Time Now To Act
Another marketing season for peanuts in this sec
tion is near at hand, the growers passing by any and
all opportunities now to make selling profitable in
the future They are waiting their time to complain
Aould prices prove cheap.?But now is the lime to
act even though no one knows definitely what can
be done to assure fair returns for this goober crop.
Over in the jieanul sections of Virginia,.Farm Bu
reau federations are already prqiaring appeals to the
federal agricultural authorities asking thai a portion
of the crop In- converted into oil and other measures
taken, if possible, to hold up prices this fall and
winter. The .farmers in the neighboring state, fully
realizing the |mwer in concerted action, are up and
doing now 11 at -1heir rights might be protected when
they go to market with their current peanut crop
With some possible?exceptions, farmers in this
section continue to sit back and the most they do is
grumble almut the low price of tobacco, peanuts and
cotton. 'Che Farm Bureau, sad to relate, is receiving
poor supixirt in its first efforts to organize the far
mers into a body that the right of agriculture might
claim its right, place in the sphere of industry and
lecognition in the legislative halls of Slate and Na
tion Apparently there is more satisfaction to be had
by howling loud and long than higher commodity
prices will afford.
There is no doubt but what a single appeal from
an organized farm luidy in this county and from other
organized bodies in every peanut growing county in
the belt would cause officials to sit up and lake notice
of the claim for fair prices. But. we hold back and
refuse to'juin a movement That*-c<>sts $2 because we
can't see immediately in front of us a return one Hun
dred times two dollars.
The present national administration has done much
for agriculture these past two or three years, but be
fore much more is to be had we must do something
for ourselves.
?AtmI ?? <??'! in dft fpything for ourselves, then
don't sit back and howl when starvation prices are
offered by buyers.
The Winners in Maine
Here is a partial list of contributors to the Republi
can campaign fund in Maine prior to the recent elec
tion: ; ? : : ' ?'
Irenee DuPont ?? $5,100
Pierre S. DuPont 5,000
Lamont DuPont 5,000
A. Felix DuPont 5,000
Henri B. DuPont ? 2,500
Alfred P. Sloan, jr. 5,000
John D. Rockefeller 5,000
John D. Rockefeller, jr. 5,000
Abba A. Rockefeller 3,000
John D. Archibald 2,500
Ann Archibald , ....... 2,500
A. Alwater Kent 1-000
All this totals up to more than $50,000, which was
put into Maine to help insure the election of Repub
licans. These people can well afford to put up this
amount of money, because if they can defeat Roose
velt, then they can make enough out of the govern
ment to gel it back many times over; the Dul'onts
will be able to get their subscriptions back out of
[xiwder contracts alone.
In other word.", they know that Landon will let
them have their-way-about the government, and will
"take tare" of them.
Remember These Figures
The value of the farmers' crops in 1932 was $,337,
000,000. In 1935 the value of the farm crops was
$3,000,000,000 more than in 1932. Keep these figures
in your mind, and when election time comes, remem
ber Roosevelt and vote for him.
The Republican National Committee charges Pres
ident RoosevelT with great extravagance, Claiming that
he has increased the public debt by $12,842,000,000.
At the same time they blame the President for set
ting up the Federal Housing Administration, the
Home Owners' I.oan Corporation, and many other
helpful governmental agencies that have saved mil
lions of people and their property?and which con
stitute an offset of about $8,317,000,000 against the
twelve billion dollar debt. Also included in the agen
cies attacked by the Republicans is the Federal Farm
Mortgage Corporation, which has saved many thous
ands of farm homes throughout the United States, as
well as providing loans for farmers to produce crops.
It would seem that the wealthy would place the
country under the old feudal system of the middle
ages, vesting all rights in the power of those who
Look the Sales Over
In this ad we are listing a few of the many good sales made
on our floor Monday (not this season). Despite the fact that a
large portion of our sales is composed of black tips and common
tobaccos, we are selling tobacco just as high as any market or
warehouse, we don't care where. Friends, come to see us. We
can give you a good sale every day.
