(Editor's note: The Sage of
Sulphur Bottom on his John-
son grass farm defends his
farming methods in an odd
way this week.)
Dear editar:
A friend of mine visited out
here on this Johnson grass
farm the other day and look-
ed the place over and then
asked:
"Tell me, how come you
didn't work that field over
there last year?" Contrary to
what you may think, if you
look hard enough you can tell
which fields of mine have
been worked and which have-
n't.
"Why," I said, "it never did
get our of committee."
"Out of committee? What
do you mean?" he asked.
I could see he was grossly
unfamiliar with both Washing-
ton and this Johnson grass
farm, so I didn't explain to
him, with a man like that
there's no place to start, but
here's the way it works.
I farm on the Congressional
level. I don't just get up in
the morning and say, I believe
I'll do such-and-such today, re-
view the plan, argue it with
myself, debate the issue, then
vote on it and proceed to act.
No sir.
I send it to a committee.
But you don't send a matter
to a committee this morning
and expect to get a decision
this afternoon. First you have
to check the calendar and see
when the committee can con-
sider it. Generally me and
Congress have found, this is
at least a month off, some-
times four or five.
Then when it finally gets
to the committee, the chair-
man can stall if he doesn't like
the bill, pigeon-hole it, take
off for Europe, etc. I know
exactly how he feels.
I'm chairman of all the com-
mittees on this farm and there
are lots of things that come
before me that I have a great
distaste for, and the longer
I can stall the less I have to
plow. Plowing and voting in
a rough area are two things
a farmer and a Congressman
don't want to do as long as
they can be put off.
Now some people probably
think my fences are down or
the roof is leaking or the
weeds in season are too thick
because I'm lazy, but that's

Anywhere
not it at all. Those things are
still tied up in committee.
Yet I can hear my friend
saying now, if he reads this,
"Yeah, but why doesn't he
start a year ahead, why does-
n't he send next year's farm
plans to his committees this
year, so he can be ready to
plant when the time comes?"
There's no excuse tor this
type of ignorance. Hasn't he
ever read a newspaper or lis-
tened to a newscast? He does-
n't understand +he first thing
about Congress. What does he
think Congress is doing right
now? Why it's arguing about
this year's farm bill, and this
is March and planting time is
already underway in some
parts of the country.
When you legislate or farm
on the Congressional level,
you take your time.
Yours faithfully,
J. A.
