A Letter From Our Congressman
Capitol Hill
Washington, D C.
May 31, 1941
My dear Constituents:
The President has signed the
Bill finally passed last week which
authorizes a loan of 85 percent of
the parity price of cotton, and the
cotton market has begun to rise
to that level. It is considered by
the agricultural leaders here that
tliis'~loiU)__of 85 percent of parity
plus the other benefits already
voted to the cooperating cotton
farmers, will in reality insure
them full parity for their 1941
cbtton crop. This is true if you in
clude the payments for soil build
ing practices to prevent soil ero
sion, but since it takes ail these !
payments to cover the cost of ;
seed, fertilizers, and planting, I :
have thought that these soi! : j
never
conservation benefits should figure
in parity price guaranties. How
ever, the farmer has received
more consideration this year than !
in the past, for which we are
thankful.
1 have received many letters!
from our farmers relative to their
wneat * neat crons crops and and penalties penalties ror for ov- ov
erplanting. Under the present re
gulation= -, . the ., wheat , acreage allot- ...
*
ments . , based, . section, ..
are in our
upon each „ , separate farm. Each .
farm , may plant , 15 acres to wheat . I
regardless of how many families
reside on that farm. If more than :
five families reside on it, the ai
lotment is three acres to each fam- j
ily, so if six families reside on it, j
18 acres may be planted, and so j
on. Or it the acreage is not con
sidered each farm may produce !

of wheat.
In the case of farmers who have
planted wheat in excess of acreage
allotments and produce in excess
of 200 bushels, these farmers can
sell all the wheat they grow in
excess of that grown on their al- I
lotted acreage, yield and in the excess remaining of the j |
normal on

stance, suppose a farmer with an
allotment of 15 acres, plants 100
acres of wheat and produces 20
bushels per acre and the normal
yield in that county is 12 bushels
per acre. He can sell the
300 bushels grown on his
15 acre allotment free of
tax. He would then be required
to pay the tax on the normal yield j j
on the remaining 85 acres or 1020
bushels. The excess, or 680 bus- j
hels, produced on the remaining :
85 acres, could be sold could free sell of |
tax. In other words he
980 bushels of hi s crop tax free.
The County Committee in each
county fixes the normal yield.

—AND—

BY GEORGE SCHEER
As I sat with the countless
lions in this hemisphere
around the world on the night
May 27th, to hear the
j soon realize that a
in history was being erected,
From a Fireside Chat to a solemn
i proclamation—the state of an
limited Emegency, the
| formed in my mind of other mo
! mentous, world-rocking occasions
But none of these gave to an
American president powers
sweeping or dictatorial in scope
But thank Heaven these powers
are in the hands of a man who
hates wars so much that he will
take the offensive to present an
iron-clad defense.
When we realize that with this
authority, the president CAN send
troops OUT of the American
hemisphere area, if necessary to
REPEL invasion without any spe
cial authorization from Congress
or can use the ships of the navy
to insure the reaching of supplies
to England, we can only realize
that a new, d’fferent and terrify
ing future faces us.
I report, thank God, for the man
in the White House.
And keep our power dry and
lot’s of it!
One of the smartest things the
President has done, and is doing,
is letting Labor order its own
household . . . Madame Perkins and
! all.
The American workers nd in
' dustrialists,
at heart real Ameri
; cans, caught the gist of his mess
age when he said that disputes
between labor and labor, or be
j j hold tween capital the forces and capital, or be
up of defense.
tween labor and capital, must not
! Any resistance to the president’s
app al is an un-American symptom
j and should be carefully examined
and scruinized . . . there can be
good reason to believe that in
SOME instances labor disturbance
MAY be the result of Fifth Col
umn activity—and this is not a
witch hunting attitude.
; Labor itself might be innocent
of the real perpretratoi's cloaking
under the coat of unions.
Now that REA has become the
j rule lather than the exception on
| * merican farms, it i s well that our
nmers cooperate with the rest of
i e users of electricity to conserve

med cine you can hav for him!
Just to clear the record, mosl
folks through here know old A
Grandis, but they call him Boll
Weevil!
And the Department of Agri
culture says that he is worse this
year than in some time. This is due
to the mild wniter through which
crop which might bring a good
price this fall.
So out with the arsenic mop, or
dust, spray, or what have you . . .
picking up squares included, and
get old Anthonomus Grandis be
fore he gets you and that cotton
which might bring a good price
this fall.
A picture of a great American
comes from our own state, in the
person of Senator Walter George,
It is easy to understand should
he have become embittered at last
“purging” campaign.
It would not be hard to under
stand if wl were to find him lined
up with the Isolationists as a bit
ter enemy of the man who tried
to oust him from office.
But Senator George is a great
American. He is first a statesman,
above political pettiness.
In his position as the Senate
Chairman of the important com
mittee influencing our foreign
policy, he could easily bring ca
ta-'trophy on the president's de
fense efforts.
However, Senator George has
been a veritable tower of strength
for Franklin Roosevelt, and every
Georgian whether or not be voted
for our senior Senator will be
proud that he can call him OUR
Senator George.
Palestine—The Holy Land
This in thy plight, thy woe, thy
darkened brow—
How heavy rests the cloud upon
thee now!
Who knows the sum of tears yet
to be shed,
The storms that wait to beat upon
thy head—
Ere yet there break for thee the
fair strong winds
That shall drive the gloom into the
wastes;
I That shall erase the dark that
| robes thy skies
j And bars the passage of our pray- |
| erful cries.”
