HEAR HARRY BROWN
“American Agriculture
Yesterday, Today and
Tomorrow"' |s Subject
| “Agriculture stands dlscrlmlnat-l
ed against as compared with bus-l
iness and labor,” Harry L. Brown, |
assistant secretary of agriculture,]
declared in an address before
farmers and business men at Cor
dele last week.
A large crowd heard the former
director of the CGeorgia Extensiun!
Service discuss the development |
of agriculture and some of the‘
opinions handed down by the U.]
S. Supreme Court. He said thei
recent ruling in the Wagner act |
cases opened the way for labor to
make strides ahead, but that the’
Agricultural Adjustment act ruling
‘placed a hardship upon farmers.
Using as his subject, “American
Agriculture Yesterday, Today and!
Tomorrow,” Brown declared it is
not a question of a ‘return to the
&ood old days" but one of “l‘e-[
adjusting ourselves to a new and
vitally different situation.” We
must become a self-contained na
tion, or we shall have to work out
a reciprocal trade agreement 'with
other nations, he added. ,
“American agriculture has
helped to build the wealthiest na-’
tion on the globe,” the speaker
declared, “but in so doing has ex
ploited one of her chief mnatural
resources—the goil, The high
point in our exploitation culminat
ed in our worst depression in his
tory."” / .I
In discussing what the federal
government has done toward aid
ing the farmer, the assistant sec
retary stated the success of this
legislation depends upon close
cooperation from state legisla
tures. He remarked that Georgia
is one of 14 states which have
enacted legislation to cooperate
with the program of the Soil
Conservation Service.
Calling attention to the interest
being shown by the national con
gress in crop insurance, Brown
also praised the ever-normal gra
nary plan of Secretary Wallace.
He said famers are expecped to
feed and clothe the nation right
on during drought and disaster,
and that they have accepted this
obligation,
He described the ever-normal
granary plan as calling for soil
conservation, commaodity loans,
crop .insurance, and compulsoery
control, Ana, each of these ele
ments of control have been in
operaticn In the cotton belt for
the past four years, he added.
Farm mortgages recorded last
year totaled less than half of
those for 1934, Governor W. 1.
Myers, of the Farm Credit Admin
istration, says this indicates the
country is getting back nearer to
normal operations so far as the
volume of farm mortgage financ
ing is concerned. Farm mortgages
totaled in 1936, $800,000,000; in
1986, $1,000,000,000; in 1934, §l,-

COVERING
C]\(ORTHE/IST
GEORGIA
By Hinton Bradbury
This column today is devoted
to the highlights of the fourth
annual Hart County Clover
Blossom Festival, which was
held Tuesday.
Very few people realize that
Hart county farmers are the
south’s leading producers of Crim
son Clover, This year 4,000 acres
were planted and even more is ex
pected next year.
We now understand why Louie
Morris, editor of the Hartwell Sun,
prints a streamer at the top of his
newspaper each week which says,
“Hart has the best schools and
churches of any county in the state
of Georgia.” Hart eounty boasts
12 brick schools, all of which are
consolidated. Rev., Charles Ste
wart says there's no doubt as to
the same rating of the churches,
After geveral of the speakers at
the annual festival had been in
troduced and all told why they
were proud that they were born in
Hart county a South Carolinian,
who lives just across the’ river,
said. “I'm sorry that I was born
in the wrong place but if I am
ever born again I'll ‘come to Hart
county.”
When Columbus Roberts walked
into the Nancy Hart school audi
torium prior to hig address he
was one in a group of eight in the
entire building, After several dis
tinguished persons were introduced
and announcements were made the
speaker faced a crowd of 500 visi
tors, all of whom arrived in a
very few minutes, The program
was at one time postponed but
turned out far better than cgould
have been expected during the
early morning,
Hart farmers held their first
festival as 5 means of getting Hart
farmers together to discuss clover
progpects and to encourage the
growing. Now the festival is held
for the purpose of telling all sou
thern farmers the five great val
ues of the pnew crop. All Hart
county is sold on the idea and
seed are so scarce the farmers
purchase among tnemselves,
I Ten years ago less than 25 acres
of clover could be found in the en
tire county. Today there is 4,000
acres and the growers have sum
med it to this conclusion, “Once
a clover grower, always g clover
grower.” Many visitors looked at
the fields and said, “That's the
most clover I ever saw.” Few real
ized that 3,000 acres had already
been turned under thig vear and
corn or cotton planted,
o sttt it
visited Mrs, W. L. Branch Tues
day.
Mr, T. J. Maxwell of Elberton,
was the guest of his son, Rev. J.
B. Maxwell, several days this
week, y
The Ladies Ald met with Mrs,
C. M, Bell Tuesday afternoon,
with ten members present.
Misses Jo Ann Camp and Mary
Ashford were the guests of Miss
Sara Wiernuch Tuesday after
noon,
Mr. Dike Hardigree is spending
this week in Macon.
Mises Martha Hancock of New
York, and Hazel Hancock of Ra
leigh, N, €., were guests of thelr
mother, Mrs. W. Z. Hancock,
over the week-end,
Mrs, C. M. Bell, M. 1, W.
LUM AND ABNER
Clover is Pow the leading graz
ing crop In Mart county. By ex
periments the growers have pro
ven that their seed yield is higher
if the fields have been grazed for
a period of 60 to 90 days. If you
had thirty head of cattle which
were consuming hay valued at 15
cents per day each, over a period
of 90 days you would save almost
SSOO and would increasg the seed
value of the clover,
M. M. Norman, Hart county’s
oldest clover grower, ig one of the
most enthusiastic of all. He says
the seed yield is wsually about
500 pounds per acre, but last year
he harvested geveral acres that
produced 1,000 pounds each.
One of the interesting stopping
points of the tour was Fork Ridge
farm, which has beep operated for
47 consecutive years by S 8 L.
Thornton and sons. He annually
plants several hundred acres and
is the inventor of a machine which
will harvest 6,000 pounds of seed
per day. He saves ripe seed and
none’ have ever been diseased.
One of the beautiful spots of
Hartwell for the past few weeks
has been the clover in full bloom
on the courthouse square, The
large building is centered in a
beautiful blanket of e¢rimson
blooms,
No story would be complete
withcut gomething about 1. C.
Westbrook, the well known couniy
agent, who for several years has
been sone of the leaders in agri
culture activities. H. H, Thomas,
vocational teacher, is also a lead
er, he being the man who staged
the first festival, Mr. Westbrook
has a file in his offices where all
pamphlets and leaflets concerning
crops, land, cattle, hogs and etc.,
are kept. These are sent him by
the Extension Service of the Col
lege of Agriculture and have pro
ven of great value.
Last year two carloads of seed
were shipped to the Mayo Seed
company of Knoxville, Tenn., Hart
farmers received several thousand
dollars and this year they are ex
pecting even more. They are be
ing paid by the government for
improving the soil, their flelds are
free from erosion, their cows, hor
ses, mules and other stock have
winter grazing free, the barns are
filled with hay and from the seed
their pockets are deing filled with
money, When you talk with them
about clover they smile like g kid
that has found a nickel,

CHICAGO.—An organized study
of six major phases of agriculture
to provide Americas business men
with facts for a better under
standing of the farm situation has
been undertaken by a committee
of the National Association of
Manufacturers, it became known
Saturday.
Details were revealed by War
ren W. Shoemaker, chairman of
the association’s agricultural com
mittee and vice-president of Ar

With the technical assistance of
John Lee Coulter, former United
States tariff commissioner and
noted agricultural economist, the
committee will devote close per
sonal study to the six projects se
lected and reveal the results of
its study in a series of bulletins
which 'will be widely distributed
among American manufacturers.
The subjects chosen for exami
nation in order are (1) Farm Ten
ancy; (2) Marginal Farmers vs.
Marginal Lands; (3) Financing
Agriculture; (4) Marketing of
Farm Products; (5) The Farm As
a Place to Live; and (6) Conser
vation of Natural Resources Util
ized for Agricultural Production.
According to Mr. Shoemaker,
the committee’s study will include
personal visits to the farming
areas, interrogation of farm au
thorities, collection and® analysis
of statistics on each subject and
long discussions among them
selves before their findings are
lsublished. It is planned to re
lease results as soon as the exam
ination of each single subject is
concluded, or approximately at
monthly intervals.
“This committee hasr't a farm
plan and [ trust they never do
have one,” Mr. Shoemaxer said.
“In no case will we atiempt to
tell the farmer how to run his
business any more than we would
expect the farmer to tell us how
te operate our manufacturing
rlants. Our one aim is to learn
all we can about the farm prob
lem and transmit our facts to
American industry as a means of
developing a more sympathetic
understanding between industry
and agriculture.”
