Show The Bench FARMER LET'S KEEP OUR FINGERS CROSSED Let's keep our fingers crossed and hope that Mother Nature will give us some spring rains. That the policy of letting prices fall low enough to cut us little farmers out of business will not be followed. That we, the farmers who are overtaxed now will not always be given the extra load over and above other groups, by paying pay-ing a high gas tax for highway use on the gas we use on our farms, when there is no relationship rela-tionship whatsoever to it and that used orr the highways. That with the price support, for another year, on alfalfa seed gone, we will change our operations to include a way of farming that will build our farmsteads. That our twenty-dollar Republican Re-publican calves, sucking our three hundred dollar Democrat cows, will increase in value. That money will be made available that we can borrow to carry on our operations, till the high prices we pay for what we buy, adjust themselves with the low prices we receive for our products. That something will be done to stop the import of meat and other products that are adding to our burden in this farm depression. de-pression. That all organizations that have been set up over the past few years and have helped us so much will not be taken away from us. The F.H.A., the S.C.S., the farmer elected P.M. A., and all other groups that have helped us both financially! and by passing on to us their knowledge of up-to-date farm practices. Let's not only keep our fingers fin-gers crossed and hope about these things, but let's write our Congressmen and let them know how we feel about these things that affect our bread and butter. |
