OUTLOOK IMPORTANT. THE NEW FARM BILL. WHAT KIND OP CONTROL? THE FARMERS' DOLLAR. WAGES AND HOURS. \ For the pest several weeks this space has been given over to the out look reports released by the Depart ment of Agriculture. We think the average farmer will do well to keep up with the studies being conducted by the officials in connection with the crops in which he is interested. Nothing is more important than the market outlook which should help planters to plan their acreage for the coming season. Congress last week wrestled with the new farm legislation and the differences of opinion were pronounc ed. As this is being written there is no "definite provisions available and the chances are that the public will have to wait until both houses pass the measures and the conference committee makes its report. " '*"v- a# -favm UiHfi uerraimy, uc imu ? ?0? . lation is generally recognised al though there are many people in the metropolitan areas who think that the government is passing out cash the farmers in much the same way that one gives a coin to a beggar. Foremost in every mind is the man ner of control, whether it shall bej voluntary or compulsory and the ef fort will probably be made to pass a "voluntary" plan that, in essence if not in form, will be compulsory. We have no particular objection to any form of control but the need for some regulation of production, at least until wider world markets are available, ought to be plain. And there are farmers we know, who like to talk about independence and the right to plant as they please. Person-1 ally, we like the idea ourselves but! in the face of the present situation! we. cannot see where any hope"lies! in unrestricted production. We wish we could! The ever normal grainary idea has won much support since it was first advocated and the soil conservation program is generally lied. However, what the planters also desire is the money that the government is pay-1 ing them for doing what commenta tors say they ought to do anyhow out of self interest We have supported government financial aid to farmers and the ac tion of the government, under several administrations, to bolster the prices of farm products. At the same time, in fairness to all citizens, we do not see how farmers can expect any gov-1 eminent to underwrite price if it can not guarantee itself against enor mouse losses that will follow the pro duction of huge surpluses. Economists in the Department of Agriculture say that the farmers' dollar has shrunk 13 cents in buying! power since the first of the year. In January the agricultural dollar would have brought $1.01 worth of! non-farm goods and services. Now it will pay for only 88 cents worth? a shrinkage to the lowest level since 1935. The picture is a little tat,er w&en we consider what part of the dollar spent by consumers for fifty-eight foods will be received by the faiyper. In 1929 it was 47 cents but the fig ure dropped to badly in 1933. In 1935 it had andvanced to 35 cents and in 1936 it rose to 44 cents. Now it is at 46. Economists say that in the past four years there has been an advance of 77 per cent in the farm value of 58 foods, an advance of 13 per cent in the margin going to pro cessors, distribution and others. This leads us to the conclusion that farmers should not grumble overduly over the reasonable profit that is made by these so-called middlemen. Of course we know that there is pro fiteering at times but the middle men, when they function properly, perform a service that is entitled to compensation. The idea is general that most far mers oppose the passage of a wage and hours bill on the theory that, while it does not apply to farm labor it will be the cause of increasing farm prices for labor on the farm. There is merit to the contention. Un doubtedly any bill that will tend to raise the price of farm labor. At the spune time the increased income of / laborers will tend to develop a strong er market for to product* Another factor that farmers might as well consider is that cheap labor is not desirable from a national stand point, even on our farms. Surely there are many difficulties to face in the artificial stimulation of labor's wages bat if it can be managed wis ely the people of the nation wOl be much better off and this will also apply to farmers as well as other peo ple. ?T- ?. r, noTi +4M> I , W e ftn?

Whether the difficulties can 9 be justly met is debatable.

' | old man and a philosopher of this reunion." Or. Joyner declared that he carried the memories of warn handclasps and other friendly greetings and ex periences of these metings in his heart from year to year and rejoiced in the growth of the reunion organi f xation. As a missionary of the gospel of "Peace on earth," He said, "there can be no peace on earth until we have goodwill among men, and though we may cry, Peace! Peace! there will be no answer to our prayer until the principles of the Prince of Peace are written on the hearts and in the minds of the peo ple on earth." ; The speaker emphasized that these principles must be taught around the fireside of the homes and be supple mented by the teachings of - the Church and School. He warned also against becoming to attached to the present day comforts and convenien ces," which, he said, "may cause our ruin, for it was the hardships of the old days that put iron into the blood of our ancestors; the fiery dragon had to he slain ere the Golden Fleece could be obtained, and the finger of history has written the fact that everything worthwhile is surrounded i by hardships." The Reunion paused to pay tribute to those who had passed on since the last meeting in a memorial service conducted by the president, who read the following list of names; Moses L. Moye, Mrs. Ella Horne Moye, Phiney Carr, S. T. Lewis, Mrs. Annie Ander son, Mrs. Mittie Parker Newton, Mrs. Emily Tyson Godley and Larry Smith, and those marrying in the family, Herbert S. Bundy and John Calvin Drewry. After a period of silent prayer the families joined in singing "Blest Be The Tie That Binds." During the business session W. G. Sheppard was elected as second vice president and the new president, Carl A. Tyson, was introduced, the Rev. Mr. Bynum expressed appreciation to the Rev. Mr. Mashburn and his con-j gregation for the use of the Church' on this occasion, and appointing a committee to send a message of re gret to the Rev. Francis Joyner, Lit tleton, and Charles A. Tucker, War renton, for circumstances which caus ed their absence at this time. Mrs. John D. Holmes, contralto, sang "God of Our Fathers," and "Be The Best of Whatever You Are," and the entire assemblage joined in sing ing reverently "Give Peace, 0 God," as a closing prayer. Following the basket lunch held in the basement dining room, an exhibit of heirlooms was conducted by Mrs. B. S. Sheppard, among the most in teresting of which were; a blue pit cher, the former property of Orphah Tyson Moye, daughter of Moses Ty sonllll and his wife, Elizabeth Joy ner, wife of Alfred Moye, now owned by her granddaughter, Mrs. C.

Cheeking back we pass through Mexico and the four dictator nations and come to two republics classed in the democratic group, Costa Rica (650,000) and Panama (460,000). And we find the Canal Zone, a strip of land belonging to the United States, five miles wide on each side of the canaL The Canal "Zone splits the Republic of Panama in half, although the cities at each end, Colon and Panama, are in the jurisdiction of the republic. Interesting is the observa tion that the canal runs southeast ward from Colon, on the Carribbean Sea, to Panama, on the Bay of Pana ma, on the Pacific terminus further east than the Atlantic terminus. Leaving the Panama Canal, we pass along the Isthmus of Panama into South America through the Re public of Colombia (9,000,000,000), which boasts the only government representing the popular will of the people, as expressed in an honest, uncontrolled election. There are ten nations on the South American con tinent Two of them, Peru (6450, 000) and Chile (4,300,000) are dis tinctly leftist, having large mining populations with some communist tendencies. Seven republics have rightist governments, hardly fit to be classed as republics, and now un der control of ultra-conservative minorities of wealthy landowners which seized power from the people during the past decade. These seven include four on the East Coast, Venezuela (3,250,000). Paraguay (900,000) and Argentina (12,400,000)^Peru (6,150,000) on the interior. The history of these re publics generally show that for many years after they won their indepen dence the land owners were in con trol but that early in this century the people gradually acquired gov ernment power. The land owners, i however, did not easily give up their | power and have gradually gained i back their control through revolu tions and are now determined to re tain it at all costs. The governments are in agreement to protect each other from the masses and they prom ptly denounce all opponents as "com munists" and refuse exile to political refugees. In nearly all of these countries the governments have been repudiated by majorities which have been suppress ed. Brazil which recently proclaimed a more centralized state, is an example President Vargas seized power by re volution in 1930. He promptly recalled to active service all retired officers of the army, raised their rank and gave them six year's back pay. Nat urally, the army officers are his strongest supporters. Similar tactics have been used by other countries under military rule. Argentina de serves special treatment. The pres ent regime seized power in 1930. It has given the nation good and effi cient government, which has not been repudiated by the people, although opponents find it difficult to express their opposition at the polls. A fas cist sentiment exists but President Justo recently warned that the bulk I of the nation's trade was with two democracies. Great Britain and the United States, and that open espousal of Fascist principles might prove costly. Six countries of South America are definitely under the domination of the military class, included all right ist governments except Argentina and Uruguay, Chile and Colombia. The latter nation is democratic. In Chile, President Palma has managed to maintain a coalition government in office by playing to various fac tions. In Uruguay the situation is not clear to the writer and no com ment is made. Ecuador, one of the leftist countries, is under military pressure like the bulk of the rightist governments. 4 "ii ? m While the nations of South Ameri ca and Central America use terms "fascist" and "communist" quite free ly and there is some similarity to the ideas or forms adopted, this does not mean that they will align themsel ves with similar nations across the Atlantic. In fact this is likely at this time. Generally, any political opposition is branded as belonging to the other group. The people, while demanding improved conditions, do not deserve the accusion that they are communistic. In this rapid review of the twenty nations mentioned we have, of nec cessity, omitted many details that would distinguish political situations in various countries. Generally, we believe the outline above will be found fair and that it iriU aid readers to understand conditions in this hemis phere. A few words may be in order about Mexico, our immediate neigh bor, where the Government openly supports the expansion of Spanish loyalists, opposes the expansion pol icies of Borne, Berlin and Tokyo, and is actively aiding laborers on farms and in factories. The effort at socfal reform is clouded, at times, by the religiona issue, end the Mexican Gov ernment || regarded in. dictator countries/as the Russia of the West, lose led rriisMg* ttoossfsjf, sa.!? .
