The
COUNTRY EDITOR
By H M BAGGARLY
CONGRESSIONAL RACE In which incumbent Walter Rogers
TIE
has been challenged by Mayor Jack Seale of Amarlllo has confused
many voters up until now So many have asked Since Rogers is so
conservative why arc the Republicans waging such a mil tant campaign
Now that the smcke has cleared it can be seen that it is simply
an effort of the John Birch Society tD seek a foothold in Washington
All responsible conservatives are supporting Rogers And all plain
Democrats call them loyalists liberals or what you please are supporting
Rogers
Meanwhile Seale has the support of the far right the extremists
the General Walker clan all under the banner of John Birch
Its Walter Rogers versus the John Birch Societj plus the brain
Washed1
Were glad to see conservative cattlemen such as Walter Graham of
Happy on the Rogers bandwagon Makas the Birchers argument appear
a little ridiculous doesnt it
GRAHAM now In Brazil pointed out Sunday that that
BILLY
South American country Is the fifth largest nation In the world
larger than the United States And he pointed out the economic imbalance
Eight per cent cf the farm populat on controls 75 per cent of the land Ten
million of the 12 million farmers own not an acre of land Two
th rds of the people are illiterate
As a result of this economic imbalance the country Is seething
in unrest As a result Communism is a problem
IN REAL LITE is the situation we would have here in
THERE
the United States if certain selfish Interests had their way
This is a candid picture of corporate farming Those who support
those factors which would lead to corporate farming no farm program
reliance on the law of supply and demand to solve our problems free
enterprise without controls the survival of the fittest wuuld gAe us an
agricultural economy in which a comparative few controlled all the land
We have had ardent Tarm Bureau enthusiasts come to our office
and argue that the inefficient farmer should be eliminated And by
inefficient they mean small They have argued that it isnt economical
for what we call a family size farm to operate because it takes just
as much machinery to operate a small farm as it takes to farm
one perhaps six times as large
NCE WE HAD a letter from a state Farm Bureau official who
j presented the argument that Wg business often uses He compared
farming with a large grocery chain He said that just as the
day of the ndependent grocer is over so Is the day of the small farmer
He reminded us that large grocery chains can afford low prices through
a small markup but tremendous voumc And he said it is the same
way with farming farms must be consolidated thus accepting a small
markup which is offset by volume
Increasing the size of farms to what these people call economical
sizes means only one thing fewer farmers fewer people In farm towns
fewer farm Implements sold and this implies much more than sillng
fewer tractors or combines In a town such as Tulia These big operators
will never patronize a local implement dealer they will buy in such
quantities that theyll find a way to get their equipment wholesale in
Dallas or Chicago
SUCH a thing as solving a problem on paper which In
THERES wont work No doubt the agricultural situation in
Brazil looks good on paper With two thirds of the people illiterate there
is every justification in the world on piper for eight percent of the
population owning 75 per cent of the land What right have these illiterate
common people to own land No doubt this eight per cent comprises
Wes Izzards uncommon people They are people who by hook
or crook managed to get control of the land Perhaps they inherited It
Perhaps their folks were wealthy and sent them to the United States
or Lurope for higher education Perhaps they went back to Brazil and
due to the advantages they had had were able to negotiate for the land
And mavbe others happened to be born at the right place at the right
time were blessed w th a keen intcllsct and were able to acquire land
We would not detract from the glory of th s eight per cent Well even
suppose that every u s sc made anu tlat a lhe 75 PCT ceu are
bums The point Is it matters not hew worthy this eight per cent Is how
much it deserves and It entitled to 75 per cent ot the land the problem
just wont go away1
Tl e point Is no matter how Illiterate lazy and undescrv ng the
10 million farmers are who own not an acre of land no matter hew
common they are it just doesnt srlv the problem to tell these
people that had they only worked hard like the eight per cent they would
have had land too
THING THAT is pertinent is the fact that so long as eight
CJVLY cent of the people control 75 per cent of the land so long as 10
of the 12 million farmers own not an acre of land A PROBLEM
EXISTS THAT COULD CONCEIVABLY LEAD BRAZIL INTO COMMUNISMWOULD IT profit the Unted States if through corporate
WHAT
farmng we were abe to operate agriculture like a chain store
if through large volume and low markup we were able to make
agnculturu profitable without government controls if through ef
ficenc we were able to solve all our farm problems yet had a seething
mass of former farmers willing to accept Communism or any other ism
that promised them something better than peonage
IT ISNT efficient to operate familysize farms and
PERHAPS a farm society as we now know it It c a n be
proved by the CED and many others on paper But when we deal
with flesh and b cod we do lots of tilings that are inefficient
It Is inefficient to spend thousands of dollars on an afflicted
child that has no hope of recovery The efficient thing is to take
him out and knock him in the htad as we would a crippled animal
It Is nerficant to spend hundreds of thousands cf dollars for rest
homes for old people who are no longer useful or prodactive
ON CONDITIONS in Mississippi is useless People
COMMENT minds made up and they artnt going to let anyene
confuse them with the facts
A wire story Trlday said that opinion was divided by the Mason
Dixcn line but that isnt true There arc many Southerners even In
Mississippi who believe not only in law observance even by a governor
but who believe in the American principle that in America all men
ore created equal S3 far as the law Is concerned Likewise there are
Northerners who billeve in obeying only those laws that seem pleasant
The issue in Miss sippi is
Do > cu believe in constitutional government or anarch0
Do > ou believe in the dignity of an American citizen or dn t you
Do > ou beleve that in America all men are created equal or that In
America all white men arc created equal1

Following a brief d scusslon on the

One of the several segments discussed
