Farmers of United States at
Last Get Together for
Mutual Benefit.
By EDWARD W. PICKARD
FOR the first time In history the
farmers of all sections of the
United Stntes are getting together to
work for their mutual benefit. Wheat
growers, corn growers, cotton plant
ers and live sfbek raisers, numbering
more than two millions, decided at
the meeting of the American Institute
of Co-operatives In Baton Rouge to
create a nntionnl chamber of agri
cultural cooperatives with headquar
ters in Washington. This organization,
which Is expected to be the strongest
of Its kind In the world, will be ready
to function nlmost Immediately and
Its ollieers will represent the nation's
farmers before congressional commit-
ca. It stales emphatically that no
part of the territory covered In the
general treaty shall be ceded to a

navies. He describes the agreement

it to be “a forward step of the first

This action follows closely on the
formation of n committee of leaders
of farmer co-operative groups for the
purpose of organizing the producer-
owned $20,0(10,000 grain marketing cor
poration proposed by the new federal
furrn board. The members of this
committee are now conferring with

than $-12,500 by their exploit. The flight
was especially a triumph for the mo
tor, a six-cylinder aircooled radial
type engine designed by Arthur Nutt.
After being feted In St. Louis, Jack-

To the meeting In Baton Rouge,
Chairman Legge of the federal farm
board set forth his views of the prob
lem of rehabilitating American agri
culture, and his outline of the hoard's
program was approved by the other
members. Mr. Legge made It plain
that the otily farmers’ organizations
which will receive financial help from
the board are those that are efficiently
organized nnd properly administered
within the provisions of the law. The
kind of co-operative organization he
hits In nilml is one that will exert a
real Influence ns a stabilizing agency
In the marketing of the products of
the more than G.OOO.OOO farms, an or
ganization that will exert, as he put
It, "at least a measurable degree of
control” over the flow of those prod
ucts to the markets nnd an agency
virtually in control of the condition
under which the products of Ameri
can farmers are sold. The board, he
emphasized, never will buy or sell
any commodity.
President Hoover completed the
membership of the farm board by
naming Samuel R. McKelvle, former
governor of Nebraska, to represent the
wheat growers. Mr. McKelvle accepted
the appointment with the understand
ing lliut he may withdraw at the end
of one year, lie is the owner of the

contemplated by President Hoover,
nnd he has ordered a general staff
survey of army expenditures. He ox
peets a report with recommendations
in time for the submission of an econ
omy budget nt the next regular ses
sion of congress. Branches of the
military establishment, especially the
cavalry and the const artillery, were
alarmed and at once begun marshal
ing arguments In their behalf. Out
side the nrmy thq opinion was that
the President’s move was a threat es
pecially against the many “political”
posts that are of no military value
nnd are maintained at great expense
through the Influence of congressmen
nnd politicians of the districts or
states In which they are located.
Senator Bingham of Connecticut
said: “At least 50 of the garrisons
which the taxpayers are now called
upon to maintain are not needed for
national defense and have no military
value. The army Is considering the
establishment of three large divisions
East, South nnd Far West—and the
limitation of array posts to a few, well
planned and chosen because of the
proximity to divisional headquarters
ns well ns their nvailubillty for train
ing large units of the service together,
would be not only economy but sound
military practice.
“Of course the Infantry school at
Fort Benning, Ga„ the general service
schools at Fort Leavenworth and sim
ilar projects should be maintained, but
there are forts nnd posts all over the
country that should be abandoned, the
property on which they are loeuted
should be sold, and the proceeds ap
plied elsewhere In the service.”
There Is now pending before con
gress a bill appropriating $1,000,000
for child hygiene, to be spent in the
various states. The bill is very simi
lar to the Sheppard-Towner bill that
has been In operation for the past
five years, but which was repealed iu
1927. This bill Is known as the New
ton bill, named for Its author, the con
gressman from Minnesota.
Georgia has derived much benefit
from the federal aid in the past, and
it Is the desire of every citizen to see
our mothers and babies continue to
get the benefits of such work. So far
as Is known there has never been any
adverse criticism of this law or Its ad
ministration In our state. Mothers
and babies are deserving of the very
best that we cun give them. Federal
funds are appropriated to states for
schools, highways, hogs and cattle,
why not for the protection and pro
longation of human lives? We need the
help; God knows we need something
when two mothers die In our good
state every day In childbirth, where
us a sacrifice one mother dies out of
every 117 live births; I know and you
know that \0e need help when every
third baby born In Georgia Ib not at
tended by a physician. With our six
thousand midwives as the sole depen
dence we know that they should be
taught how to best attend a mother
when above all times in her life she
needs good attention. I know and you
know that something should be done
to save the liveB of babies when we are
told by our State Board of Health that
20% of all deaths occur prior to five
years of age. Judging by the past we
know that Georgia's general assembly
is not going to appropriate sixty thou
sand dollars for this purpose, but we
know that by federal aid’ this much
money has been available for the past
few years.
Are mothers and babies any account
anyhow? If you think so, tell your
congressman about Georgia's need; II
you don't know the need write the
State Board cf Health and ask them.
If you think mothers and babies are
worthwhile and are entitled to care,
trll your member of the legislature
about what you think. It’s up to us,
the citizens and taxpayers to tell out
representatives our wishes and out
desires

reau of Labor, Children's Department,
with our State Board of Health, the
physicians of Georgia will have a post- J
graduate course in obstetrics brought

Obstetrics of this great University, to
visit the various congressional dis- j
trlcts of the state and in each district
conduct a week's intensive post-grad- |

PRESIDENT HOOVER’S decision to

adverse criticism ns well ns praise.
One of those, who expressed his dis-
chlne guns, and the ensuing fight was
sanguinary. Two convicts were killed
nnd four guards were wounded. Four
of the prisoners made their escape In
the confusion. This nffnlr, coming
only six days after the futile, uprising
of the Inmates of Clinton prison, Dun-
nemorn, aroused the state authorities,
nnd Governor Roosevelt called for a
thorough investigation. The New York
state prisons are admittedly greatly
overcrowded, nnd more outbreaks nre
feared.
