Says Plan Will Save
- Farm ' Program For
This District
, Congressman Herbert C. Bonner baa
called for a revision of the entire
peanut program.
. Speaking from ' the. floor of the
House last week, be voiced bis opposi
tion to the Agricultural Committee
resolution which would increase the
production of cotton and peanuts in
the face of today's "great surplus in
both croos."
The First North Carolina Repre
sentative, declaring that he is "inter
ested in saving the entire farm pro
gramnoil destroying it by patch
work", proposed that the peanut con
trol set-up be changed and that a pro
gram similar to the tobacco program
be instituted.
Such a program would divide, the
peanut producing areas according to
types of peanuts produced and the
acreage allotments would be made on
the basis of need and demand for pea
nuts by types rather than by the pres
ent method of national consideration
of all types. , .
Illustratinsr the ineffectiveness of
the present system and the undesir
able aspects of the Agricultural Com
mittee's proposal, Mr. Bonner pointed
out that the Production Credit Cor
poration purchased 85 per cent of the
Runner-type peanuis grown m
"And yet, in this additional amend
ment, it provides for the growing of
additional Runner-type peanuts," the
Congressman asserted.
He explained further that some
Spanish-type area farmers are divert
ing -to Runner-type peanuts "which
will further confuse this situation."
In the Virginia-type area there is not
a suffcient production to meet the
great market demand, Mr. Bonner de
clared, "Therefore," he maintained, "in
stead of reporting out this amend
ment, the entire peanut program
should be revised."
He suggested that the peanut pro
ducing areas be divided into the Virginia-type
area, the Runner-type area,
and the Spanish-type area. The allot
ments should then be made according
to the need and market demand for
the individual types, he said.
In his opening remarks Congress
man (Bonner mentioned the 1950 cot
ton acreage allotment program. "I
shall not discuss this, but the diffi
culty being experienced by those who
have been allocated acreage is due? to
the fact that the State Committee and
the County Committee in the majority
of cases failed to carry out the law.
That is", 'he continued, "to reserve 10
per cent for State adjustments and 15
ier cent for county adjustments, or
vice versa."
The additional acreage proposed by
the amendment will only be that much
additional cotton for the government
to purchase, he explained.
War will never yield but to the
principles of universal justice and
love, and these have no sure root but
in the religion of Jesus Christ.

Installs Rl':3 Jo
lk!p Fight fires
The Department of Conservation
and Development, Division of 'Forest
ry, is being made, a much more ef
fective organization by the installation
of two-way radios in Forest Service
vehicles and Look-out Towers. '
; District Forester V. W. Herlevich
said today that the Albemarle Coun
ties will have radio communications
coverage by . the beginning of the
Spring Fire Season which usually
starts in February or March. These
F. M. radios are being installed in all
County Foiest Warden trucks and in
four fire towers which are located in
the District Radios will be installed
in aditional towers when needed and
when funds become available.
Herlevich said the use of radios will
be a tremendous help in time saving
which is most important in Forest
Fire control work. When fires are
spotted by men in the Look-out Tow
ers, the ground crews in all counties
can 'be informed immediately. Mess
ages can be relayed to any .part of the
District for help. Getting to the fires
more quickly will greatly reduce the
acreage burned m these Counties each
year. The time factor m fighting
forest fires is as important as is time
to our City Fire Department.
Also law enforcement action is ex
pected to increase. Laws have been
passed by the State Legislature
against almost all kinds of uncon
trolled foods burning. With the use of
radio fire crews will be able to get
to the fires more quickly and by this
have a much better chance of appre
hending the party who is responsible
for the fire.

Grade 'A Barn Costs .v..
Farmer Only $817.50
An economy-minded Surry farmer,
Robert Johnson of Route 4, Mt: Airy
has converted a lean-to shed and an
old tool room into a Grade A milk
barn and milk room at a ttoal cost
of only $817.50, according to Henry
O. Dunbar, assistant county agent for
the State College Extension Service.
The shed, located alongside an old
barn which had been., used to house
seven cows, was being utilized as a
junk or utility room. One day John
son hit upon the idea of putting in
some stanchions so he could start sell
ing milk. He decided that as long as
he was going to convert the shed into
a decent milking barn he might as
well make it Grade A. ; :
The shed was 14 by 30 feet in size.
Johnson put in a four-inch cement
floor, Bondex waterproof walls, and
aluminum ceiling. . He reduced the
cost considerably by using second
hand and one and one-quarter inch
galvanized pipe to make the seven
stalls. Total cost of the pipe, includ
ing elbows and Ts, was $19.50. He
