The Battle Is On Not yet a month old, the new farm pregram is being subjected to attack from within and without, the opponents predicting its future as they would that of a month-old babe without ever giving its slightest chance to develop its possibilities. The farm law strikes, at their in dividual liberty and upsets their rugged indi vidualism, the opponents still point out. The control feature is pinching their feet, and "we are going to the high courts with it," Johnston County landlord-farmers have warned. Loud protests have been heard from those real dirt farmers who gave the control program their support on March 12. That some have jusi complaints to offer is not questioned, but the sane policy is to get those complaints heard and inequalities ironed out without attacking the very soul of the program that offers about the only hope to the farmers of this nation. In heaping our attacks upon the measure, let's don't forget the dark days of not long ago when a farmer sold a bushel of corn and receiv ed hardly more than enough to buy a corn-cob pipe. Let's don't forget the dark days when to bacco sold for less than the amount of tax lev ied by government, and when cotton went beg ging on the home markets and on those throughout the world too. Those who are now crying individual freedom must have forgotten those dark days when farmers blocked farm and home foreclosure sales by a cruel but liber ty-allowing economic system. The opponents of the new farm program, while it is admitted there are faults in the new 1938 farm bill, have advanced no alternate program. Prior to March 12, the stage was set for a re turn to 1932 conditions, conditions that pinched the feet of everyone and stopped the march of progress. The control plan may pinch the feet of farmers, but it is the hope and sincere be lief of many of the leading minds of this nation that even though the bill pinches, the American farmer will be on the march to a greater eco . nomic freedom. We have been prone to refer to the bill as one of dictatorial powers when in reality it is the efforts of the best thought in this nation to harmonize production and consumption, to eliminate the spasmodic fluctuations that have proven so costly in years gone by. Farmers, this is your bill. You voted that supply and demand might be brought in close harmony with each other, and to do that reductions in plantings are necessary. It is your right to know that the plan is justly administered, that inequalities will not be allowed to exist. Call for the facts, review the allotments of every farmer, but in your complaints reserve your attacks to any inequalities that may exist and not to the pro gram in its entirety. Much of the opposition to the bill is not interested in the inequalities; it is interested in junking the program in its ev ery detail and in returning the farmer back to serfdom or economic slavery, if you prefer. A Good Resolution The North Carolina Association of Tax Su pervisors, meeting in Raleigh last week, passed a good resolution and one, if it is ever adopted and enacted into law, will make impossible much of the tax dodging that has been going on openly. The supervisors passed a resolution calling for the listing of property as of Janu ary 1, each year, instead of April 1. Virginia lists property for taxation as of Jan uary 1, North Carolina listing three months la ter. The present set-up makes possible the shifting of property from one state to the other and back again before the tax iron gdts~hot. The procedure is legal, but it isn't fair to the owner whose property is nailed downv^r stak ed off. Any legislator who goes to Raleigffifext January will have well earned his keep there for two months and longer if he corrects the system thjt? invites and makes tax dodging profitable. Seizure The seizure of Ensol, a serum for the treat ment of cancer, was ordered throughout the country a day or two ago following the myster ious deaths of six people who had been given the serum injections. An investigation is time ly, and the seizure should be hastened But, to date, there has been no mention of seizing au tomobiles that are costing scores of lives over the nation week after week. No one wants or even expects the seizure of automobiles, but it is time we were refusing to recognize the weekly auto death toll as a mat ter of course, a thing to be expected We get excited over disease epidemics, but nonchalantly join the race with death 111 auto mobiles on the highways and streets. Investigate the deaths alleged to have follow ed the Ensol injections, but at the same time wake us up to the slaughter on our streets and highways. A Boy Whose Parents Were Pals " It is good to be a farm boy with parents be lieving in both work and play," writes a farm lad who sent The Progressive Farmer a prize winning letter on "What I Like Best About My Parents." Other parents will no doubt be in terested in what this farm boys says as follows: "It is hard to tell just what 1 like best about my parents. My mother pleases me when she give camp suppers for my boy friends and gets my duds ready for the short course at State College at White Lake. She helps me with my poultry project when 1 am at school. She plays accompaniments to my mandolin and keeps books and magazines for me to read I call her my pal. "My father is a pal, too. He helped me make a boat last summer and now I fish all 1 want to in it on the pond back- of the house. He makes me work until late but takes me to the river or for a swim at sunset after the chores are done, or on a fox hunt after supper, or to the picture show. Daddy also helps me with agricultural projects. Last spring we built a brooder house and a laying house. 1 sold 100 broilers and now have a flock of New Hampshire Beds, laying (very day. He bought a brood mare and now I have a baby colt. Sometimes he takes me to the Farmers Club Suppers."
