Hon. Clyde L. Garrett,
Member of Congress,
House Office Building,
Washington, D. C.
sC1
Dear Mr. Garrett:
I appreciated very much your favor
of June 14, written in answer to my
previous letter, asking for your co-op-
eration in making peanuts a basic
commodity, in the new farm bill pend-
ing in congress. Sorry that congress
■aw fit to del^y the passage of any
farm bill until the next session of
congress. I look, within thg_ next
three months, to see much lower
prices on all farm commodities. Had
it not been for the very bad crop con-
ditions in Canada with somewhat sim-
ilar conditions in much of Europe,
wheat would have sold for between
70 and 80c per bushel. I am advised
that oats are now selling on the
farms in eastern Iowa for 24c
bushel.
Hie peanut growlers in the “south-
western area,” that territory lying
west of the Mississippi River, are
now completing an organization to
be known as the Southwestern
.,_ ,---- — dilicis ,
V.rmjfuge rrrommvndcd
nuts for the 1937 crop at a “fair
price” to growers and consumers of
PEANUT W AREHOUSEH i that farm product. Am sending you
under separate cover a copy of the
Cisco Daily Press in which you will
find some comments on this new or-
ganization. We hope that the future
activities of our peanut growers or-
ganization will result in a better
farm income not only for the peanut
growers in their 1937 crop, but also
for crops of other years in the fu-
ture.
Am writing this letter to call
your attention to the very great need,
at this time, of farmer-warehouses
at various points within your con-
gressional district. It Is going to be
almost impossible for our farmers to
cooperate with the Department of
Agriculture in future farm pro-
grams unless adequate warehousing
facilities are obtained. The writer
was very much interested several
months ago in noticing in a press dis-
patch, that farmer warehouses had
been constructed in a number of
per North Carolina towns through W. P.
' | A. assistance. I am sure that the
proper pressure on your part can se-
cure for us warehouses in this part of
Texas. These warehouses should be
constructed so as to care for several
Pea- dif^erer|t farm commodities; for in-
first ' stance> peanuts in the Fall and Win-
in the
at-! Spring and Summer. This year our
fine crop of Irish potatoes, which as
you know under farm-storage condi-
tions, deteriorates rapidly, sold main-
ly at very low figures, much of it
moving around 70 and 80c per 100
lbs. These prices as you know will
not pay wages, to say nothing of re-
turns on money invested in lands and
every bit as essential as the building
nth- |
of lateral highways «r parks or
er recreational centers in our cities.
Roads to town Will not avail the
farmer much, if there is no market
when he gets there. Farmers and
business men should write Congress-
man Garrett personal letters regard-
ing this important matter. Let’s
give him a letter -shower.”
