Farmers Told No
Costly Delays In
AAA '39 Program
Costly delays in the AAA's
farm program last year have
been eliminated for the 1939
program, George Slaughter,
farmer-chairman of the State
Agriculture Conservation Com-
mittee, told delegates from Wood
County at a meeting of farm
and home leaders from about
twenty East Texas counties in
Tyler, October 25 and 26.
Every farmer will know be-
fore Christmas exactly what
acreages he will be able to
plant in order to comply with
the 1939 program, Slaughter
said. Last year, legislative de-
lays caused allotments to be
held up until after much Tex-
as cotton had been planted.
Government payments to the
farmers also will begin earlier
under the 1939 program, Slaugh-
ter assured.
While essentially the same
as that of 1038, the 1939 pro-
g-am provides for lighter con-
trol provisions regarding small
farms and encourages more
gardening for homes and home
use through the inclusion of
gardens in the neutral soil clas-
sification.
Representing this county at
the meeting were J. F. Dial,
county committeeman; J. L.
Farren and A. L. Holley, coun-
ty committeemen; Miss Kath-
erine Kelly, home demonstration
agent; Mrs. John Shamburger,
chairman home demonstration
council; Mrs. A. L. Holley, coun-
cil member; Jack D. Hudson,
county agricultural agent, and
Joe W. Williams, county ad-
ministrative assistant, AAA.

New Hope Class
Demonstrates New
Study Plan at Fair
The Sixth Grade of the New
Hope School, under the super-
vision of Mrs. E. L. Galyean,
teacher, demonstrated a social
studies unit at the State Fair
of Texas in Dallas Friday, Oct.
14, at the request of Arthur
A. Mayberry.
Mrs. Galyean's work won the
commendation of supervisors,
deputies, teachers, and rep-
resentatives of the State De-
partment of Education, and
her work with the new study
plan was judged a success. The
students themselves are high-
ly favorable to the plan.
The cooperation of the class
and parents of the students
made the demonstration a suc-
cess, Mrs. Galyean said as slje
expressed her appreciation for
the fine support given her, es-
pecially by Mr. and Mrs. Oran
Duncan.

Holmgreen Says
Farming Now In
Adjustment Stage
By JACK D. HUDSON
County Agent.
E. N. Holmgreen, state ad-
ministrator of the AAA, brought
out these points in his talk at
the district meeting of East
Texas farm and home leaders
at Tyler, Oct. 25, reviewing some
of the reasons why Southern
agriculture's position has been
on the short side of the nation-
al double-tree, and showing
that farming is going through
a strenuous period of adjust-1
ment;
1. Since 1932, changes in Amer- j
ican food habits have reduced;
consumption of edible wheat i
products by the equivalent of I
.8 bushel of wheat annually j
per capita. This means Ameri-,
ca consumes 104,000,000 bushels
less per year now than she:
did in 1920. Taking average
American yield at about 12
bushels an acre, this spells the
loss of markets for 8,666,000
acres of wheat to the Ameri- j
can farmer.
2. Tractors, trucks and auto-j
mobiles since 1920 have dis-1
placed 8,000,000 horses and
mules. The 43,000,000 acres j
formerly needed to grow grain j
and feed for these animals now,
is growing crops which must
be sold for cash. This has j
contributed that much to the j
surplus problem.
3. Tariffs not only have weak-,
ened the farmer's purchasing!
power by increasing the cost
of goods he must use, but also
have tended to reduce the
purchasing power of foreign na-
tions for the American farm-
ers' exportable products.
4. Differential freight rates
have increased the burden on
Texas farmers by increasing
beyond reasonable bounds the
costs of marketing their pro-
ducts. He observed, . for in-
stance, that it costs $1 more
to ship 30 Rhode Island Red
hens from Dallas to Chicago,
904 miles, than it does to send
the same hens from Chicago
to New York, 909 miles.
5. Once America was a debt-
or nation. In those days she
found an open market for agri-
cultural products. With these
she could pay off her debts.
Times have changf-'d. Now Amer-
ica is a creditor nation. Eu-
rope now owes us. Gone is that
outlet for the many farm pro-
ducts.
6. War needs caused the ex-
pansion into crop land of
35,000.000 acres, once pasture
and woodland. After the war
the demand for' these crops
dropped off. This generation is
left with the surplus.
Holmgreen said that these
things served to show that the
farmer's problem is not a mere
bug-a-boo and that agriculture
is having a tough time of try-
ing to catch up with changing
production technique and re-
verses in world trade. He said
the AAA is tiying to make that
adjustment easier.
