‘Area Farmers Show
How Machine Works’
After attending the
State American
Agriculture AAeeting in
Unadilla last week,
Middle Georgia farmers
released a statement
saying the latest editorial
from U.S. News and
World Report contained
some very significant
information.
The following is an
excerpt from that
publication:
The farmers have
learned where the power
is; it isn't at the Dept, of
Agriculture. Now they
show up at committee
meetings on the Hill.
They are making people
there nervous because
they have found out how
the machine works. They
are knocking on doors,
telling their story,
testifying to Congress. Up
to now we have taken the
farmers for granted -
now we can no longer
afford to.”
The above statements
were proven true in the
person of Tommy
Fulford, Alma, Georgia,
who spoke to the AAM
group last week. He
clarified several points
on the status of the Dole-
Talmadge amendments

Airman Ken M. Davis,
son of Mr, and Mrs.
Walker M. Davis of 726

been selected for
technical training at
Sheppard AFB, Tex., in

maintenance field.
The airman recently
completed basic training
at Lackland AFB, Tex.,
and studied the Air Force

customs and received
special instruction in
human relations. Com

to the existing farm bill.
The Dole-Talmadge Bills
are attached to another
bill which has already
passed the House.
This was done so they
would not be sent back to
the House Floor for
lengthy discussion and
possible deteat. Fulford
emphasized these bills
are for one year only.
They are for immediate
relief and should be an
incentive to reduce
production this year. The
American Agriculture
Movement strongly
endorses the Dole Bill
which is a flexible parity
plan to provide wheat,
feed grain and cotton
producers the op
portunity to receive
parity prices for 1978
crops.
When asked why
soybeans were not in
cluded, Fulford explained
that they were not a part
of the original farm bill;
therefore this bill, which
is an amendment, could
not cover soybeans. The
bills have passed the
Senate and are now
