Secretary Declares
Attack On Farm
Bureau Unfounded
(Continued from page one)
laws controlling inflation from one
end of the slate to the other. The or
ganization favored sound values
then, and it still stands on that prin
ciple. When legislation was not en
acted to curb inflation clean across
the slate, the Farm Bureau reason
ed that it had a right to call for fair
treatment for agriculture."
The fight in Congress recently was
merely a climax, and it could have
been avoided if the Farm Bureau
proposal had been accepted back
yonder, it was pointed out. The sec
retary then went on to show another
side of the picture when he pointed
out that the price of shirts had ad
vanced but that cotton was still sell
ing for the same price it sold for a
year ago. The consumer, he explain
ed, had a tendency to blame the price
increase on the farmer.
Differing with the metropolitan
press and the radio commentators,
the secretary said that the farmer's
position in the national economy
could not possibly influence the price
spiral as much as some had claim
ed.
In conclusion, Mr. Shaw said that
the farmer is in a healthy condition
today, but his place in the national
economy has been muddled in the
mind of the public. "Evidently there
is a long war ahead and production
is first in importance, and the far
mer's place and his rights must be
recognized if production is to meet
the most urgent demands."
Nearly 1,000 members have been
signed up by the organization in
this county during recent weeks, and
the drive for 200 more will be con
tinued, Mr. Chas. Daniel, county
president, urging the membership
committee to get busy and complete
its work within the next two weeks.
A final report will be heard at a
meeting on October 21. Approxi
mately 13,000 farmers in eastern
Carolina have already joined the
organization, and the membership
drive is just starting in other sec
tions.
Mr. Shaw explained to the meet
ing that the Farm Bureau had pre
sented the case of oil peanuts to
Secretary of Agriculture Wlckard,
that the reaction following the two
hour meeting was considered favor
able. Farmers, he said, are being
urged to buy wheat delivered at M
cents a bushel for their hogs and
dig and place the oil peanuts in the
desired channels of the trade for the
war effort.

Farm Prices and Production
Mr. Roosevelt ordered prices ol
raw and processed agricultural com
modities "stabilized, so far as prac
ticable," at September ISth levels
and in conformity with the standards
laid down in the new law. The new
price control law provides farm price
ceilings cannot be set below parity
or below the highest market level
between January 1 and September
IS, 1942, whichever is higher. If such
ceilings are too low to reflect in
creases in farm labor and other costs
since January 1, 1941, the President
is directed to raise them.
The Legislation calls for a 90 per
cent parity "floor" under cotton,
corn, wheat, rice, tobacco and pea
nuts, the floor to be established by
means of loans. The loans may be
held down to 85 per cent, however,

Teachers In Meet
The Parent-Teacher Association of
the Oak City High School held its
first meeting Wednesday night, Oc
tober 7 th.
The auditorium, about half filled,
showed interest even in the face of
busy farmers and their wives grad

interesting program and the meet
ing was taken over by Mrs. Julian

Mrs. J. H. Hopkins, secretary. In a
brief way, business was handled and

is a Washington attorney.
Only one other name was before

E. O. Williams, of Hyde County, had
expressed interest in the nomina

Just before Mr. Rodman resigned,
the chairman of the Martin County
Board of Elections, Mr. Sylvester
Peel, had ordered 5,000 county-dis
trict election ballots printed carry
ing the name of the primary nomi
nee. The order was completed and
made ready for delivery just a few

der of new ballots is being printed
for the November 3 election.
Mr. T. B. Slade, member of the
district senatorial committee, attend

Agriculture Secretary Wickard,
speaking at Tylertown, Miss., said
agriculture In wartime must be lim
ited to "producing only the farm
products which are absolutely esse
tial." He said farm production for
1942, nearly a record, might not be
exceeded for years, and future pro
duction migth not be sufficient for
all needs at home and abroad. "Next
year we will need a farm production
even greater than this year's . . .
