Jacobs President Brantley County Farm Bureau The President of the United States several weeks ago made a statement that farm food prices were responsible for 80% of the inflation in this nation. This statement was carried by television and press throughout the nation. Let us look at what is real ly happening to farmers down on the farm. It would seem that the President of the United States should know that farmers are receiving only 70% of parity for the food and fiber produced. He should know that full parity would be a fair price for farmers to receive. Therefore, the truth is that farmrs aren’t only not the cause of inflation in the United States — but rather has contributed the greatest subsidy to the nation and consumers that has ever been contributed by any group. Had farmers been receiv ing a fair price for food and fibers produced — consumers would have paid billions of dollars more for food than they have actually paid. Farmers simply haven’t been participating in the progress of America in terms of their contribution to society. Let us look at these figures. Let’s go back to a base period. In this way we can see some thing about stability and what has really happened to farm ers of this nation. Let us look at the following figures on production expenses for farm ers of the nation: 1965 — Total Production Expenses — $30,484,000,000. 1947-49 — Total Production Expenses — $17,971,000,000. Increase in Total Production Expenses — $12,513,000,000. Now let us look at what happened to total net farm income in the nation. Re member: Seek ye the truth and truth shall make you free. 1965 — Total Net Farm In come — $15,158,000,000 1947.49 — Total Net Farm Income — $15,266,000,000. Drop In Total Net Farm Income — $108,000,000. It is obvious that farmers of this nation were producing food and fiber for millions more people in 1965 than in 1947-49. But from the stand point of Total Net Farm In come farmers of the nation realized $108,000,000 less. Yet consumers are told that farmers are responsible for the increased cost of living and inflation. Last year the cost to con sumers of farm-produced food totaled $77.6 billton, up $34.2 billion, or 79%, from the 1947-49 average of $43.4 bil lion. Os this $43.4 billion in crease in the cost of farm produced food, $27.6 billion, or 80.7% went to non-farmers. Only $6.6 billion trickled down to the farmer. If you will note the $12.5 billion to tal farmer production ex pense increase, and realize that 53.4% of th farmer’s in creased production expense went to cover the food pro duction cost, than it is real ized that the farmer barely received his production cost. There isn’t much trickling down to the farmer. The farmer is exchanging produc tion expenses for receipts — and that is why farmers are leaving the farm across the nation. Non-farmers and housewives had better wake up. Food can be vital. The Citizens Bank Rolls Out the Red Carpet The Citizens Bank at Nahunta has rolled out the red carpet for its customers. The red carpet extends from the bank front door to the curb is a bright red soft, fiber carpet about two yards wide The slogan of The Citizens Bank could be “Every Customer a King”, because the red carpet in dicates that every customer has a “Royal Welcome”.

Raymond Smith Writes About Education Board To the Citizens of Waynesville, Atkinson and Lulaton Precincts: How long has it been since a citizen from your district sat on your school board? How long since a board mem ber representing you asked your feelings pertaining to the educa tion of your children? Were you asked your feeling be fore these Health, Education and Welfare guidelines were voted on? Have you been told the full con text of Revised 4418 three mem bers of your board voted for? Do you believe in “Tell the tax paying public only what you want them to know”? Ask why two of your board members resigned. I feel it is time we stand to gether and are heard. Raymond D.

Potatoes Offer Many Nutrients Potatoes are one of the most versatile foods you can serve — and one of the most inexpensive. If you think of potatoes as only a quick ticket to the nearest re ducing salon, then you’ve un derrated them. They are a good source of Vitamin “C,” nitrogen, phosphorous, and calcium. The calories involved are chiefly de pendent on the method of cooking! The potato is an annual, a cou sin of another tuber, the eggplant. Since their introduction to Europe from South America, potatoes have been an important addition to the Western diet. They are grown in many parts of the world. But their greatest development has been in areas where day time temperatures are moderate, moisture is adequate, and cool nights prevail. Europe still grows the majority of the world’s potatoes, but Amer ica has added another dimension to the popular potato with the invention of the potato chip. In 1853, a chef in a Saratoga Springs resort in New York State popped a thin slice of a potato in boiling fat. He liked it and served “potato chips” thereafter. Subsequent refinements later de veloped the present popular potato chip. Now, in July, an over-lap in the production of potatoes is causing a build-up in supply. The late spring crop of potatoes in central California, Arizona, and North Carolina was delayed a few weeks because of adverse weather. This crop has been moving to markets the same time as the early sum mer crop of Virginia, Delaware, Texas, and Southern California. When old turnip green fields are allowed to stand after har vest tie, problems with fungus diseases on the next year’s crop can be expected, warn Extension plant pathologists at the Univer sity of Georgia.
