If you go out on the lnnb one way you aie going to cause trouble there. And if ou have too much farm control, then everybody is going to be mad because they are not farmers. Glade Hunsaker Answers answer The most comes from Glade Hunsaker: "I think farm controls are essentially an asset, not only to the farmer but to the nation. "Take, for Instance, wheat. Wheat is a farm crop which farm controls (support a lot. The U. S. Is giving much foreign aid, most of it Is wheat . ... So the government places a control on wheat; It guarantees the farmer so much a bushel for his wheat. The support is small. Its enough that the farmer can pay his expenses but no large profit is made. Therefore it cant make a farmer lazy no man Is satisfied with mere existense. They insure so much a bushel; if the farmer is lazy and raises - one kernal, he is paid accordingly, and the farmer, because the support price is lower, will raise his crop for market price. The transaction with the government that Grade outlines is, briefly: 1. The government pays nothing for rthis wheat until the supply increases. 2. If the government bought wheat, the supply goes down, the demand rises. Therefore the farmer is benefited and the government is benefited. Remember: the businessman and the laborer can strike. But the individual farmer needs pro Ancient Enemies tection Government Control the Whenever government starts controlling one part of our competitive system, it can be for one of two things. First, it can be leading directly into a socialist statot where the government has complete control and the Individuals are dependent on the government for everything. This, of course, dissolves our competitive system which is so invaluable to our way of life. And, we must remember, that each time the government puts on controls it doesnt aid the country as a whole, but aids one part of the country at the expense of an other. Secondly, it can be aiding the entire nation by helping one part of it. The entire country is dependent upon the farmer-thindustries, tKe home itself, and our economic system. It is possible that these controls are needed as much as aid was needed during the time of F. D. of the Roosevelt when country was desperately In need of government aid. Careful Consideration Needed Only by careful consideration can the problem be met. Surely no one wants a socialist 6tate, and yet no one wants the farmer to lose his only means of security. The future policies of the Department of Agriculture will definitely shape our countrys destination, and that policy must Include enough security to aid the farmer and enough freedom of control so that our country will not lead itself into a socialist state. one-thir- WT' d Peter Pan and Captain Hook . . . long time enemies, meet in a brutal hand to hand encounter in Walt Disneys production, Peter Pan which will open at the Capitol, Saturday, for a five day showing.
