THE VOICE OF I
AGRICULTURE
IN HOUSTON
By ARTHUR L. WHITE
Houston FB President
In this column last week we dis
cussed some of the rumors and
statements which were outgrowth
of comments made by Secretary
of Agriculture Benson, President
Eisenhower and AFBF President
Allan B. Kline following meetings
with members of the Board of Di
rectors of the American Farm Bu
reau Federation. We promised a
report from our own Mr. Wingate
in this week’s column.
Wingate reports that (1) “There |
was no discussion whatsoever on
the part of the American Board
members, President Eisenhower, or
Secretary Benson on sliding scale.
(2) Secretary Benson did at the
close of the meeting make known
his position on support policies.
We do know that he thinks that he
is for the sliding scale. (3) We dis
cussed general overall farm prob
lems, including the cotton export
picture and possible means of im
proving the situation. The Secre
tary appointed a committee by
nightfall to further study the re
commendations and carry them
out.”
Our president further reports and
emphasizes that: (1) “There has
never been any giving in to any
one or any group on the part of
the Georgia Farm Bureau on the
sliding scale fight. The Georgia
Farm Bureau has for five years
fought the sliding scale, and fought
for 90 percent supports. We will
fight again.”
Farmers, particularly Farm Bu
reau members, will toe interested
to note that the Georgia Farm
Bureau Federation is now in the
process of pushing for extension
of 90% for 5 years. Wingate says,
“Our efforts will come to a show
down this year or early next year.
This will be just ahead of a Con
gressional election. Our opposition
might find by that time that far
mers are a sensitive group.”
We will discuss the sliding scale
in this column next week but there
is a quick run down of what far
mers would receive under a slid
ing scale operating at 75%: cotton,
26.75 present support 31.75; to
bacco 41.62 present support 50.5;
peanuts $217.00 present average
support $236.00; corn $1.49 present
1.78; oats 82.5 present 98.
Our President sums up the sit
uation thus. “In 1948 tooth the
Democrats and Republicans at
their National Convention adopted
the sliding scale in their platform.
We won with the Hope Aiken Bill.

Presbyterian Men
The Presbyterian Men of the
Church elected officers for the
coming year at the monthly meet
ing held at the church Thursday
night.
The new officers are C. W. Mor
row, president; Aldene Lasseter,
vice president; Bailey Harrison,
secretary-treasurer. They will take
office, April 1.
A delicious supper was served
by the women of the Church.
The Rev. John Pridgen Jr., pas
tor, showed a movie, “Now I See”,
on Stewardship. The movie pre
sented the various ways the church
can help its people in every day
life.
The pastor presented a proposed
budget for the next 9 months of
! $6,600. He explained to the men
the many channels of the church
into which the money is placed.
Riley Young, the president, pre
sided at the meeting.
I am confident that we can win
again if we can maintain and build
our organization. We won in 1948
with 73,000 members but we are
now fighting with 48,000 mem-i
bers.”
Read this column next week for
illustrations of how quick the 75%
support scale could be reached if
the sliding scale is placed in oper
ation.

With the Ist Cavalry Div. in Japan
—Pvt. Willie J. Gray, whose wife,
Alice, lives at 1311 Spring St.,
Perry, Ga., is now serving in Japan
with the Ist Cavalry Division.
Veterans of the Korean conflict
are imparting their battle know
ledge to new replacements in the
division during training on the
Japanese islands. The Ist spent 17
months in the combat zone before
being rotated out of the line in
December 1951.

TRAGIC ENDING
j With the Marines in Korea
The beer ration for “Charlie”
Company, Seventh Marine Regi
ment had just come in. Joyous Ma
rines had stacked the cases against
the side of a front-line bunker
1 and had gone to sumon their
platoon leaders who would distri
bute the brew.
j Moments later, however, the
men were forced to scurry for
cover when a Chinese Communist
motar barrage began. Suddenly,
the combat-hardened Mariens were
saddened by the sight of a direct
hit —scored on their beer ration.
They watched from the shelter
as the precious beverage gushed
out and trickled down the hill.
Cultivation is the cheapest way
of controlling weeds, according to
specialists for the Agricultural Ex
tension Service of the University
of Georgia.

County Agent
Houston County dairymen met in
the county agent’s office last
Thursday afternoon to hear Frank
W Fitch, dairy specialists, on pre
vention of mastisis. Those attend
ing were Ralph Thomas, Arthur
Pitzer, Virgil Hay, R. T. Tuggle
and Roy Davis.
Mr. Fitch discussed in detail the
principle causes of mastitis, and
stated that this trouble can be
avoided by following recommended
practices in handling the milking
operation and taking care of ani
mals so as to avoid bruises and
injuries to the cow’s udder.
The group decided they would
like to hold a similar meeting once
each month and have someone give
them information on some phase of
