NEW FARM AGENT Baldwin Superior Court Begins
NAMED TUESDAY! Two Weeks Session Monday
Baldwin Farmers Favor AAA
and Look for Another Law
|:hrv.-:
Baldwin farmers questioned rela
tive to the action of the supreme
court in voiding the AAA express
ed the opinion that it is the greatest
blow the fanners have ever suff
ered.
While some of the farmers said
there had been a few inequalities to
the little man under the provisions
of the AAA that they believed had
the law continued that these errors
would have been corrected and the
allotments to t'.ie title man would
have been raised. Oxgresjtman Carl
Vinson already had r bill prepared
to allow the farmers » raise three
bales of cotton and prevent any
allotment under this figure.
One farmer said he believed the
future of southern agriculture de
pended on crap control and that
he hid faith and confidence in the
President and was sura a new pro
gram tor the benefit of agriculture
weald be worked out. This farmer
reared on the farm and has
been actively working on the farm
for more than half a century and he
said It was the.first time Etei-4. had
been an effort to help the
farmer, while Republican adminis
trations had promised from year to
year to give aid to tb<* farmer, but
when the election was over these
pledges were just another campaign
promise. He also said that the in
dustrial east had been made wealth/
with the aid and protection of gov
ernment in protective tariffs, while
the southern farmer and western
farmer had been impoverished. Now
that a Democratic administration
had placed a protective tariff on
agriculture in the nature oU a pro
cessing tax, it is ruled unconstitu
tional while the Hawley-Smoot tar-
riff bill, placed on the dcckets by a
Republican administration to enrich
a privileged few in the industrial
centers, was allowed to remain.
Another farmer pointed out the
fact that a “self-appointed” leader
in Georgia had told the farmers all
over the str.te that if the AAA was
declared unconstitutional and re
pealed and the processing tax call
ed off cctton would go to 16 cents
per pound. This farmer said the
fanners could now find out the true
friend of agriculture and certainly
the Governor, fighting the admin
istration, has betrayed .lie farmers
of this state.
Another farmer said his neighbor.,
from the smallest farmer to the
biggest, were for the AAA and de
plored the fact that it was ruled
void. He also said that he believed
President Roosevelt and the admin
istration leaders will foster a new
program that will continuetfic bene
fits that have been made possible in
the past two years. The farmers will
not retreat this man said and we
are with our president.
The voiding of the AAA took
from the Baldwin county farmer
ever $40,000 in allotment and rental
payments, in addition to the loss of
12 cent cotton, which may mean dis
aster next fall.
Plans Go Forward For Roosevelt
Ball in Milledgeville Jan. 30th.

eral government at an early date

lems and plan for the new year Mr.
Cook Is a batchelor.
The commissioners also purchased
material for six new bridges at
their meeting Tuesday. The bridges
