peared last October ih the relief
lurl‘iue of ane of the norcn Georgia
!('ounties. He was asking for food
for himself and four children, the
oldest a girl 15.
g Upon investigation it was dis
covered (hat while a few years
‘priop he had been a’ progressive
farm operator, illnéess and the
' death of his wife ana one of his
'children, along with low prices for
iugri(rulturul commodities, had re
| duced him to a position of abject
. poverty.
l Work relief was granted and his
earnings were spent for food and
l(jlothing for himself and children.
Then came the CWA and he was
}transferred to a job where he
worked on the community school
[building, Gardening en a subsls
tence basis las; spring was his nexe
venture.
; By this time the local relief office
had discovered him as a hard work
!er and discussed with him the pos
}sibility,of re-establishing himself
through the rural rehabilitation
'm-ogmm. However, upon his own
|smtements, there was no land, no
livestock, no seed and no fertilizer
lwith whieh to start a crop. Also
' his oldest daughter was not old
enough to take over the responsi
lbllities of the home. !
' But romance has its way. With
!in a few weeks the relter client
!culminuted a courtship in marrlage
| to a beautiful maiden living in the
community. .
. Later the family, through the re
!liet‘ administration, rented land ana
| was supplied with the loan of a
lmule, cow, pig, fertilizer, seed,
urgent food and clothing needs.
August reports on this family In
‘aicate that food and feed have been
made for the winte, and that hin
icash crop will enablé the man to
commence the purchase of equip

ment.
! Such is the progress one family
\has made toward rehabilitation
| under federal supervision.
i Many families included in the
rural rehabilitation program are
lapparemly making pregress toward
economic and social stability. While
ithe program has been in progress
|only about four months, 241 fami
lies out of 1,600 have not made a
ibudgetary request for September.
About ten per cent of those making
!suvh requests have not asked for
| food. Most of the families have
‘done considerable canntmz of frules
' anq vegetables, as did one of the
,Negro families that has canned 99
‘qual'ts of vegetables - for winter
' use.
. Through labor provided by the
'administration on scheol buildings,
lairports, roads, malarial drainage
' and other projects many of the
!families will this summer and fan
' repay a substantial pary of the mn

WASHINGTON.—The big brown
dust elouds from the Great
Drought area carry a handsome
silver lining, it you want to be-f
lieve the administration. !
Or they just mark the experi-!
i mental farm program as a tragic |
| fiasco, if you take the word ofi
the opposition. : i
Friends and enemies of agricul- |
tural adjustment merely seem to|
be yelling a little louder. Neither |
Iside has taken many converts|
from the other. The AAA is gen- |
erally pleased with the results ofl
the drought as they affect its pro-|
gram.
And flexible agricultural ad-{
justment, allowing either curtail- |
ment or expansion of crops as|
may seem expedient, will almost
certainly go on unless farmers
have a violent revulsion of feel
ing. i
Some of the confusion incident |
to emergency organization h:lsl
been eliminated by a more defi-:
nite setup, just announced, by"
which all agencies of the Depart-l
iment of Agriculture working on|
drought problems are brought un
!der one committee. i
| This new group is known as !
[ the drought plan committee, in-l
| cluding all old and new units or
|ga‘nized in the department and|
the AAA. C. W. Warburton, ag-!
ricultural extension director. has!
been. named chairman. i
The AAA has switched from an
(attack on surpluses to an effort
jof relief and conservation because |
| the big surpluses, in general, arei
iwiped out. |
i Planned Agriculture on Way j
¢ Its reduction program speeded
| up by a year or two, it now mnts‘
ia planned agriculture in Wvhich!
i farmers can operate profitably. Ifi
| sees itself as the ideal mechanism |
| for a long-time program which
| will balance supply with demand |
jand develop a better system of |
| farming. !
' It must answer—and it has thel
bhiggest chorus of answerers everf
gathered under one roof—the cat- |
calls of politicians and the »how,lsi
of consumers .who will. bo.sogked,
by higher food costs. Some of the
winter-spring food prices will rep
resent no more than the higher
farm prices which AAA sought,
but others will go far higher than
that.
President, Roosevelt, Secretary
Wallace, and everybody.eise is
worried by the possible - ‘political
effect among city voters. Critics
are hopefully suggesting that
drought may be as tough on the
AAA as good weather was on the
Farm Board.
Farmers Back Program
But the farmer's attitude will
be decisive as to future farm pro
grams. You can’t dodge the fact
that the various reduction pro
grams have had the enthusiastic
suppert of large majorities and
history indicates that the farmers
eventually get about what they
want from Washington.
About 3,000,000 farmers have
become ‘“members’ of the AAA
programs and the idea here is to
maintain contracturil relationshivs
with them and not to let huge
oversupplies pile up.
Although many farmers have
been badly hurt by the drought,
total farm income for the 1934-35
crop year probably will be higher
as a result of high prices, benefit
payments amounting to $500,000,-
000 this year—government cattle
purchases, federal relief, and in
come from FERA work projects.
Even drought-stricken farmers
receive payments from untilled
land.
Top Soil Damage Moderate
Farm lands will be about as
good as ever when normal mois
ture returns. In some areas the
top soil has blown around and it
will be hard if not impossible to
get it back. This sandy soil, if it
blows around much next spring.
will cut tender plants such as
corn and spoil planted seed.
But officials who have been in
the drought area estimate the top
soil situation is serious in not
more than one farm out of a hun
dred. <
You hear little talk here now
of transferring farmers. from one
area to another in wholesale lots.
AAA was decidedly sympathetic
to earlier implications by Director
of Reclamation Elwood Mead and
Assistant Rejef Administrator
Lawrence Westbrook that whole
sale migration was necessary be
cause large expanses were doomed
to become a desert.
People who take their first look
at some drought areas are likely
to think, mistakenly, that the
game is up.
-~ Land Should Be “Retired”
Nevertheless, there are areas—
in the Dakotas and Montana—,
TYHE BANNER-HERALD, ATHENS, GEORGIA
sion, in the September 12 primary. Talmadge was
preceded by E. B Rivers, speaker of the house, who
was cheered by the crowds when he told them that
Talmadge was praised by President Roosevelt
!which. should never have been
tilled and where year-to-year suc
cessful farming is impossible.
Long-range AAA plans envisage
retirement of- such areas from
commercial preduction.
Just to refresh your memory,
Congress last year ordered the
AAA to restore farm purchasing
power, , Vast surpluses of wheat,
cotton, cern, hogs, cattle, andi
other commodities were the one
big obstacle in the way, keeping
prices -down. :
| The first reduction program
'm on cotton and it was expand
ed this year. Cotton, with a rec-(
ord low crop of 9,200,000 bales and
about 15 percent of the reduction]‘
due to drought, is still not a
“shortage” erop. ]‘
l There will be a supply of 18 or
119 million bales, but cotton will
be down very near the ‘normal
carrycver” and Assistant AAA
Administrator Howard T. Tolley,
chief of the program planning
section, says it's fair to say AAA
has “come out even” on cotton.
“About Even” on Wheat
The wheat crop is a little below
500,000,000 bushels, thanks to a
planned 15 percent reduction pro
gram and the drought. There's a
lcarryover of about 290,000,000
bushels and a normal domestic
lcnnsumption of 625,000,000, so
lthat if there’s a 160,000,000 bushel
carryover—about normal — Tolley
!points out, we'll again be “coming
{ out even.”
| Between slaughter of little pigs,
;mhe big corn-hog program, and!
ib‘EßA’s absorption of many tons‘
of pork, Tollev says, the number
!of hogs cosing to market next_f
yvear will be “about right” it’
Ithere’s enough feed for them.
1 B that feed situation is ad-‘
{ mittedly very tight, because the
corn supply is down from a nor-'
mal 2,006 million bushels to 1,500
million. ‘
And if it weren't for the great|
| feed shortage, the cattle problem |
| might have worked out all rir.zht.;
i It's at, this point, by the way,|
twhere AAA—Dbent on a reduction|
iprogram — tied right into the|
| drought situation in a spectacu- |
glur. effective way. |
| New Problem in Cattle i
| The Jones-Connally Act author- |
ized a ecattle adjustment program |
| ana $150,000.000 to finance it.|
| Came the drought and the .-\AA'
| stopped trying to figure out a con
{ tract. program, taking much 0:‘1
| that money to buy cattle from
| drought farms for presentation to
'FERA, which cans them for relief
food. : \
The cattle population has beenl
growing until it reached an all
time high of 65,000,000 last Janu
ary. The government's present
plan to buy up eight or ten mil
lion animals would have about
solved the situation if the feed
shortage weren’t making it far
more acute in the opposite direc
tion—that of fewer and far skin
nier animals.
Rebuilding of the livestcok sup
ply will be one of the 1935 ad
justment problems. So will the
danger of a huge oversupply of
feed grains next year, thanks to
the reduction of livestock.

Guards Against Pampering
The AAA could sell or add to
its stcoks from year to year and
month to month, stabilizing sup
plies and prices and still insuring
sufficient supplies to guard against
any unexpected shortages.
Meanwhile, AAA recognizes and
tries to guard against the danger
that the drought relief program
will develop a state of mind where
any farmer will turn to Washings

Congressmen and others have
sought to have various counties
hurt by hailstorms or hurricanes
designated as “emergeney drought
counties.” But AAA has firmly
turned them down, insisting it can
deal only with a “national phe
nomenon."”
