THE PADUCAH POST, PADUCAH. TEXAS. THURSDAY. AUGUST 3, 1950
ula has some advantage because
each year the farmer will know
approximately the exact amount
he will plant the next year,
for without any formula he can
adjust his acreage up or down
as compared the national al-
lotment. For example, if in 1952
you have 100 acres allotted to
you as an individual farmer,
if the national allotment in
1952 is cut 10% or is raised 10%
you know immediately that your
1952 allotment will either be
90 or 110 acres. This is the pro-
posed formula of the Agricul-
ture Department and I feel sure
that it will be adopted. I under-
stand that the farmers are get-
ting impatient because it is get-
ting to be seeding time again
and I hope the Agriculture De-
partment will announce the plan
in the next day or two. In the
meantime, if you have any ques-
tions please advise me.

This news report is of vital
importance to every farmer in
the entire district. Read it care-
fully and call the attention of
your friends to the following
words and discuss it at length.
There was some dissatisfaction
with the meeting held in Ama-
rillo two weeks ago. I thing you
must be coming to the conclu-
sion that any time your crops
are supported you must have
some kind of control. Now, what
I want to say is this: I am not

ELECTRIFICATION
Apparently the Rural Elecrifi-
cation Administration has de-
veloped into a political holding
company for the purpose of
loaning money to local Co-ops,
in order to carry on tax-subsi-
dized, Federally-financed elect-
ric projects which were never
contemplated in the original
REA Act. For some time it has
been evident that the REA is
no longer satisfied to help get
electricity to farmers not other-
wise served. It is going out to
duplicate the lines of private
companies under the current
Federal program which seems
determined to socialize the
electric industry of the United
States.
One of the latest examples is
presented in an advertisement
in the New York Times by the
South Carolina Electric and Gas
Company. The president of that
company composed of 14 in
local Co-ops for the construction
of transmission lines to parallel
existing lines.
The Santee-Cooper project, an-
other Federally financed elec-
trical enterprise, will furnish
the power and maintain the
system. Altogether $9,000,000
will be spent and not bring
electric service to a single ad-
ditional rural home in South
Carolina, according to the presi-
dent's statement. It will be a
tax-subsidized project which
will help injure an existing en-
terprise owned by 30,000 citi-
zens, now furnishing electri-
city to the Co-ops involved.
The president of the South
Carolina Power Co. presents his
statement in a New York paper
of national circulation, because
he says this use of taxpayers’
money by a Federal agency is
a national rather than a local
issue. Congressmen from all
states are asked to vote ap-
propriatKJhs to kill other local
businesses such as his. The
REA refused the company a
hearing. Other government
nNTESTS
to withdraw any price supports,
,but remember, with supports
there must be controls.
As I have stated, there was
dissatisfaction over the meeting
held in Amarillo, but since that
meeting the Department of Agri-
culture has announced a new
wheat allotment for the coming
year and with the raising of
that allotment the biggest prob-
lem of both summer fallow
farmers and fence to fence farm-
ers will be partially settled. _
Now, here is the most impor-
tant item of what I have to re-
port to you. Under the proposed
formula that will be set up by
the Department of Agriculture,
which will be called the 95 %-
105% Formula, the Panhandle of
Texas will receive a greater
wheat allotment than they did
in 1950. To quickly explain the
95%-105% Formula: It means

the 1951 acreage allotment in
each county must be worked out
by the PMA Committeemen on
the fairest basis possible. The
1951 acreage allotment of each
independent farmer in every
county must have the closest
attention because 1951 will be
used as a base for future al-
lotments instead of going back
and using past history. The
PMA Committee, in working out
the 1951 individual farmer al-
lotment, must try to have it as
perfect as possible because 1952
acreage will be based on the
1951 allotted acreage and not
past history. This proposed form-

We are warned that insects are liable to be bad this year
on the cotton crop. Now that cotton is in the making it will
pay you to keep a close watch on your field and see that in-
sects do not get the upper hand.
At our warehouse we have plenty of dusts and sprays for
all kinds of insects that infest cotton in this country. They
include such powders and sprays as:

These powders and sprays will kill any insects that work
on cotton, and the Sulphur and Toxaphene is supposed to
handle any kind of insects.
Watch you cotton closely and be prepared to dust or
spray. We’ll be glad to give you the recommendations by the
chemical companies as to the best way to achieve results.
