The Trade Agreements Pro¬
gram is the best method of
making tariff's that the United
Stales has ever had, Secretary
of Agriculture Wallace to the
recent International Confer¬
ence of Agricultural Econom¬
ists at Quebec, Canada.
“Changes are made only aft¬
er careful consideration of all
the interests involved,” the
Secretary said. “The process
is necessarily gradual, because
it is honestly scientific. In that
program, the farmer of the
United States for the first time
have a tariff making process
which their interests are ade¬
quately represented instead of
being dismissed with such
meaningless ‘protection’ as
the tariffs on corn and wheat
and our other regularly export¬
ed farm products.
“We are using the mechanics
of the reciprocal trade agree¬
ments to bring about as rapid
an increase in imports as can
be allowed without causing
substantial damage to domes¬
tic interests. At the same time
recognizing the obvious fact
that these# agreements could
not be counted on immediate¬
ly and completely restore the
foreign market for the volume
of farm products which we
exported in the early years of
this century or in the decade
of the twenties, we have been
developing forms of agricul¬
tural organization designed to
bring about an adjustment
between our exportable sup¬
plies and the quantities which
we can market abroad st a fair
price.
“We have completed trade
agreements with 18 countries.
We are negotiating with four
others, including the United
Kingdom, most important
both as a market for our farm
exports and at a supplier of
our industrial imports.
“If the Trade Agreements
Program did nothing but low¬
er some of the extremely high
tariffs of the Smoot-Hawley
Act of 1930 and the foreign
trade barriers that werr raised
in retaliation, it would be
worth while. Actually, there
were many schedules in pre¬
vious tariff laws which were
greatly hampering inlernaliun
al trade, and these too have
come under scrutiny and been
modified where possible and
desireable.
“Most of the effect which
this reduction has had on our
foreign markets for farm pro¬
ducts has been obscured dur¬
ing the past 3 or 4 years by
the great effect on our trade of
both droughts and fluctua¬
tions in industrial activity.
With the completion of an
agreement with the United
Kingdom and the return of
normal weather conditions,
the importance of the tariff
reductions will he more readily
apparent.”

TRENTON, DADE COUNTY, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, SEI’TEMRER 29 1938
In Memory of
Roe Castleberry
Roe Castleberry, one of
County’s most beloved and
respected citizens, died on
24, 1938, al the age
70 years—and while we feci
that words are inadequate
express the sterling worth
his life character, yet we
it incumbent as final salute
his noble soul, to say a
of love and praise.
No flowery sermon, or
ciled epitaphs were
to shroud his sleeping form
the last, when we gathered
the bier for a
tribute—lor Roe
had preached his own
in his daily walks of life for 70
years, and left his ow n
on the sands of time that
ebb and flow of other lives
never erase.
A faithful soldier for
cross, he bore the banner
God’s love from the cradle
the grave; honest, just,
able. No pathway of life,
rugged trials, no cross that
was forced to bear ever
his courage and faith to
lie fought the battle of
like a soldier for the right
stood fearlessly on the line
the end, sweeping through
gates of death to valiant
tory to Life Eternal on
other side, and while we
the place in life he left
can neves be filled, and
whole community will
from the loss of such an
est, upright man, still
should not begrudge to
weary feet the final rest,
his soul the “blessed sleep

BaUk on the job In 1938, as he was when he started as President of
the Southeastern Fair in 1933. will be Mike Benton, entering his sixth
year as Executive of Dixie’s greatest Exposition. October 2nd through
the 9th.
From (he vice-presidency in 1932, Benton has been devotedly inter¬
ested in the progress of the South, the development of agriculture and
livestock and in bringing to the Southeastern Fair the major develop¬
ments from the world’s fairs which have been held during his incurrr-
benc$\
In various years certain features have been stressed. Beginning with
his “New Deal” Fair in 1933, it was the American Indian Exposition in
1934, the Cotton States Exposition in 1935, the Educational Exposition in
1936. and the Atlanta Centennial in 1937. This year the Southeastern
Fair will get back to fundamentals, and the National Livestock Show
will be held. For tin’s purpose the fairgrounds have been practically
revamped to meet the demands of one of the oustanding cattle shows of
the entire nation. The Fair management realizes that increase in dairy
and livestock interests is a potent factor in the rehabilitation of the
Southern farmer, often criticized as a “one crop planter."
In addition to operating a large business of his own, Benton is widely
known for his radio programs, his inclination for 'music, being a com¬
poser of national note, and has ti en recognized nationally by being
recently appointed on the National Advisory Committee as Director for
the State of Georgia for the New York World’s Fair in 1939.
Since being an officer of the Southeastern Fair, Benton has attended
the Century of Progress Exposition at Chicago, The Great Lakes Exposi¬
tion at Cleveland, the Canadian National Exposition at Toronto, the
Texas Centennial Exposition at Dal’as, and many of the great Fairs of
the’Middle West and the East.

Still More Counties
Reject Contest of
Fraud in Primary
Chairman Sheppard, of the
Senate campaign expenditures
conimitte, said Monday in
Washington that his commit¬
tee will decide next week weth¬
er it lias authority to investi¬
gate former Governor Eugene
Tulmadge’s charges of fraud
in the September 14 senatorial
primary.
Meantime ten more counties
turned down Mr. Talmadge’s
contests and two others
dropped off the list of con¬
tested counties, leaving only
five of the thirty-three to be
decided.
Senator Sheppard said com¬
mittee’ action would be re¬
quired to undertake an in¬
quiry iuvolving the thirty three
counties where Mr. Talmadge
sought a recount of the ballots
from the election in which he
was defeated by Senator Walt¬
er F. George.
Senator Sheppard said Mr,
| Talmadge submitted his com¬
plaint to a committee repre¬
sentative in Georgia. He ex¬
plained he had taken cognizes
of it but had deferred action
pending a decision at next
week’s meeting.
Meanwhile the senator said,
investigators in Georgia would
be on the lookout for develop¬
ments. They are inquiring in¬
to a charge made before the
election that many Georgians
had been registered illegally.
Monday’s Democratic execu¬
tive committee actions in
Georgia left the score 27 to 0
against Talmadge.
At Sparta, the Hancock
County Democratic executive
committee dismissed Mr. Tai-
mudge’s challenge and then
billed tl e former governor $111
to cover “expenses of the
special meeting.” (Saturday
the Coweta County committee
billed Talmadge for $76 for
similar expenses.)
F. C. Almand, chairman of
the Rockdale County commit¬
tee, said the contest there had
been dismissed “at contest¬
ant’s cost,” but did not speci¬
fy the amount of the bill.
John Wesley Weekes and
Murphy Candler, Decatur
lawyers, represented Senator
George at the hearing. The
vote of the committee was
unanimously against a re¬
count of the vote in Rockdale
County.
to be held late this fall.
The tentative rate of pay¬
ment on cotton under the 1939
program is 1.8 to 2 cents per
pound plus a price-adjustment
payment of 1.8 to 2 cents per
pound —a total of 3.6 to 4
cents per pound on the normal
yield of each acre cf the farm’s
cotton allotment.
The administration of the
program, as in 1938, will be
through theState Agricultural
Conservation committee, the
county and community farm¬
er committees and the county
agents.

lation for red clover, alsike
