Mv dear constituents:
I went home last week and
all the folks about well of the flu,
and about th a "cd out from the re
cent cold snap. Everyone was deep
ly sympathizing with the good pen
pe of Albany in their loss and suf
ferir.g caused by the great storm
We have much to be thankful for.
The cold weather we had will:
prove beneficial in nt a tty ways—it!
will assist in the breaking of dis-j
kill 1
ease epidemics, and will out
millions of destructive insects. Bei-i
ter crop years nearly always follow
severe winters- j
Upon mv return I found my staff
Fete Morgan, Neil Burnham. Fran
ces Long and Sus a n Turner, busy ,
addrosstng to the farmers of the
District envelopes containing lists ol
all the bulletins published by the
Department of Agriculture and now ,
available for distribution, and re
questing the farmers tn read ovei
the list and order wh a t they desire
They allot each Congressman 12,000
of these bulletins each year, and
some of my friends in Congress who
represent city districts here let me
have some of their allotments, so 1
will have enough to go around 1
hope our farmers will read these
lists Thse bulletins are thought
fully a nd carefully prepared and
contain much information of value
The Department of Agriculture
Yearbooks are also valuable, and
quite different from the old ones
containing mostly statistics and re
ports The 1939 Yearbook is entitled
“Soils and Men." and deals with the
proper way to save our soils from
erosion and to rebuild it. The 19391
Yearbook, just off the press, is en- j
titled. "Food and Life,” and givet
Interesting and valuable inform a -
tion concerning the proper feeding
ef farm animals, poultry, etc., as
well as the food value of certain
crops. Thev allot each Congressman
400 of these books, but a Pennsyl-1
v a ma Congressman neighbor of
mine from a city district gave me
most Of his allotment. I still have'
these books left and will send them
PUt on request as long ns the sup
ply lasts.
The House has debated the Navy
Appropriation Bill ail the week, fin
ally p a ssinst it yesterday.
Our Georgia Congressman Carl;
Vinson led the debate and succeed-;
ed in setting through a fine naval
construction program that will give
us the best Navy in the world
Well, the weatherman promises
Us some more snow tonight. I hope
he misses his guess

If it*s natural, it’s ripht with Uncle Natchel... and
that's a good safe rule.
The natural way to fertilize erops — for better yield
and better quality — is to use Natural Chilean Nitrate
of Soda. It's thp world's only natural nitrate. Plenty of
quick-acting nitrogen and a natural balance of protec
tive plant-food elements to give, you healthier plants,
more fertile soil. j
No price increase this season ending June 30. 1940.
Plenty of Natural Chilean Nitrate for every body's needs.

way. In the House of Representa
fives, Congressman Crowther, of
New' York, read the great Farewell
Address of our first president in its
entirety. How fitting it was. and
how appropriate at this time it is
for us to ponder and ( i nsider the
advice given us by the Father of
our Country long ago when this was
a new nation trying to establish a
f r ee government for free people
0 f these burning words of advice he
gave US:
“Agains the insiduous wiles of
foreign influence the jealousy of a
awaki; free people ought to be constantly
since history and experience
p,- ove that foreign influence is one
rnost baneful woes of repub
dean government—The great rule ol
con ,|uct for us, in regard to foreign
n!l (j fl ns, is, in extending our com
nieiC j a | relations, to have with them
as little political connection as pos
sible—Europe has a set of primary
interests which t° us have nonie, or
a very remote relation Hence, she
must be engaged in frequent contro
versies, the causes of which are es
sentially foreign to our concerns—
therefore it must be unwise in us
to implicate ourselves, by artificial
ties, in the ordinary vicissitudes of
her politics.—It is our true policy
to steer clear of permanent alliance
with any portion of the foreign
world.”
And this parting statement of his:
“I hold the maxim no less applic
able io public than private affairs,
that honesty is always the best pol
icy”
Don't you think this is still good
for us ,0 fo lo "' ?
