RAGE POUR
BROWNWOOD (Texe*) BULLETIN, SUNDAY, JANUARY 23, 1944
N. E. Dodd, chief of the Agricul-
tural Adjustment Agency, trans-
mitting the agency's report to Mar-
via Jones, War Food Administra-
tor, praised the farmer-elected
committeemen organization of
AAA as “the spearhead for agri-
culture's remarkable wartime ac-
complishments" D. J. McDaniel.
Brown County AC A secretary, said
Saturday.
Dodd said that the committee-
man organization provides “the
framework that enables 6 million
individual farmers in thousands ol
farm communities to work togeth-
er as a team” to solve many oi
agriculture's problems both in
peace and war.
••Without question, the post-war
period will bring problems and a
need for 4 world-shaking adjust-
ments of a different kind.'' the
chief said. “Whatever comes, farm-
ere know thal when individual ac-
tion is not enough, the farmer
committees have proved them-
selves an effective framework for
joint Action.’•
Activity Reviewed
The report reviews the accom-
plishments of state, county and
community committeemen during
the 11 years of AAA programs 'In
peacetime, the committeeman or-
ganization helped farmers solve the
problem of unmarketable surplus-
es through production adjustments
and marketing quotas, the report
states. When war came, Triple-A
devoted itself to mobilizing Amer-
ic^i farmers into “one huge, ef-
ficient production machnie ” The
expanded and different needs of
wartime were determined, and
then national production goaN
were translated into terms which
informed each individual farmer
how he could make his maximum
contribution to victory.

war and war period*, Triple-A’s

ABILENE. Jan.. 22—(API—The I
We«t Texas Chamber of Com-
merce today announced the formal
launching of an area-wide inter- i
ccunty agricultural and livestock ;
contest, to run initially through j
two crop years. Entries were in-
vited from all West Texas coun-
ties.
M. C. Ulmer. WTCC president. |
in letters to directors and affili-
ated chambers of commerce of the j
area, said over-all objectives were
“conservation, protection, perpet- j
uation and fullest possible utili- f
zation of our Wkst Texas land re-
sources, with increased, balanced
and higher quality production j
from our farms and ranches."
The contest idea was presented
to affiliates in last October's ref- j
e r e n d u m conventions held
throughout the area and was ap- ;
proved.
The contest will be conducted j
by the regional chamber’s post- j
war economy and planning com- J
mission, C. W. Meadows of San !
Angelo chairman, and the agricul-
tural and livestock commission j
headed by Winfield Holbrook of

Under a county unit plan con-
test entries will be made by cham-
bers of commerce within a county*
through agricultural planning
boards created by the chambers.
Such boards will be composed of
active farmers
TULSA, Okla , Jan. 22—<AP>—
Frank Mosley laughingly admitted
in district court today that he put
1.000 pennies in a bucket of mo-
lasses and sent them to his form-
er wife as an elimony payment.
His smile faded a moment later
as Judge Oras A. Shaw, although
conceding it was a good Joke, all
right, ruled that Mosley would
have to fish the coppers out of
the bucket to save himself.
rpm sure you had lots of fun
fixing this bucket up." said the
judge. "Now you can have th$
fun of taking them out."
Mosley, a slender, 54-year-old
machinist, told the court his form-
Judge Shaw told
would have to stop his “foolish-
ness" and make the payments in
full in the proper manner.
