The farmer Says No!'
No move made by the Farm Bureau or any similar organiza
^11 Hon has brought as much praise from the general public a a opppo
sition to the Brannan plan.
This plan, which the Secretary of Agriculture has devised.
V supposedly to help the farmer, would mean doing away with the
present allotment program and permitting the farmer to produce
*? as much as he wants. Then the amount over and above what he
can't market would be purchased by the government at prices a
local committee in the farmer's area would deem fair.
lender the present system, the government restricts the far
mer as to the number of acres of crops (on certain commodities)
and then, even after this production control, if he still can't get a
"fair price" as determined by the parity principle the govern
ment pays a subsidy.
The farmer realizes that enactment of the Brannan plan into
" law would mean more regimentation for him. more keeping of
government records, less independence and a state of affairs
whereby his entire existence would depend orfthe whims of pol
iticians.
When his crops are ready for market, the farmer likes to see
the cash come in as they are sold. Working under a more com
?. plete government subsidy program would mean, they point out,
that pcyment from Uncle Sam may reach them two and maybe
* three months later.
r To cap the whole situation, the farmers rightfully believe that
the program would crash under its own weight. So much money
would be handed out to the farmer that the tax-paying public
would rebel after one or two years, and cause a reaction against
ANY farm support whatever.
A new element has infiltrated in United States politics. An
? element whereby those in the driver's seat see eternal security
for their office by subsidizing constituents. In other words, legal
ized vote buying.
In the Farm Bureau, Grange and other large farmers' organi
zations we see for the first time a mass, organized objection to
this policy. Our admiration for the farmer and his daily gamble
in making a livelihood for his family increases by leaps and
bounds. Seen in this is a factor that proves the inherent inde
pendent spirit of America is not not dead.
Might as Well Lei the Town Burn Down
A big bouquet of red roses to Beaufort firemen. Through
the efforts of Chief Charles Ilarrell and his men, Beaufort was
given the opportunity Sunday afternoon to hear what can be con
sidered one of the outstanding programs of the year.
But the many empty seats testified to the apathy and disinter
est which the majority of people display. Fond parents tear their
?? hair over the fact that firemen sponsor "these terrible carnivals,"
town authorities and the chamber of commerce scream because
"" it milks money off from the town for trashy shows and gambling,
but comes a worthwhile program such as a band concert and a
handful of people attend.
The fire department is composed of men who by their own
free will, attend meetings, instruction periods and when there
is a fire ? whether it be 2 a.m. on a freezing night or during the
^ day when they arc at work ? rush to save someone'j property.
Then they sponsor a program to raise some money, a GOOD
program, and how /nuch support do they get? Hardly any. They
^ haven't complained. > Pme f th ry proWRbl v <\ w# a
better than break even on the concerf*^*""* v V
But it's a sad commentary when the people of Beaufort,
or any town for thai matter, which depends so much on a fire
department, can't show any more appreciation than was shown
Sunday afternoon.
Thoughts for an open mind.,.
Whatever of darkness there may be in our ways, let us be willing
to assume, is due to our failure to radiate the light we came
here to be. ?
Establish the image of yourself as you would be. and say, "There
I am." It may not seem as though you are these lovely
things, but you are if you imagine them.
If you do not believe this? you don't have to? that is the won
der of a seed. It does not depend on belief for its fruition.
U carries LIFE in it.
