A COTTON SOLI TION
The present farm program is
.uming the little farmer in many
sections of the country, and as far
is cotton is concerned, it is wiping
>ut the little farmer in the South-
■ast slowly blit surely.
This problem is one cf national
mportnnce, not just a concern of
he South. The Soil Bank program
s no answer to the problem. Tak-
ng land out of production halts
wages, the circulation of money
nd reduces the amount of _i’,siness
equired to handle a crop. The
let result is a ^depression in many
ural areas and in small towns.
The greatest dilemma of the pre-
ent. support program is the huge
surplus of cotton accumulated by
the governments—acquired when the
Government buys cotton at a high,
unport price. Instead of buying
hat cotton at a high price, storing
t end eventually selling it at a
lower price, the Government could
achieve the same end — and allow
nerrnsed planting and stimulate
treater co'ton manufacturing and
orei n sales — by merely paying
he farmer the difference in the
vorld price and the support price.
To do this, the Government would
have to continue to set a national
lunta, but It would he in bales
o be raised each year. If 11.000,000
bales wer to be raised in 1958, the
Go'-eminent could support cotton
^ I a thirty-five cents next year Just
11 as It Is doing todav. But the Gov-
■ eminent would not actually buy
■ ! n l store rothn The farmer who
■ planted cotton would not be limited

j to so much acreage, or even to so
many bales, but he would get the
support difference for only so many
I balpa. Therefore, If he wanted to
hike a chance imd raise more cot-
! ton and sell It at the world price,
j he would be free to do so.
i On the other hand, he would be
iab'e to raise the same number of
I biles at the support prtee as he has
I been able to do In the past. The
J Government would get out of the
| storage business would save mll-
I'lnns of dollars on salaries, because
imr ny of Its COC Jobs could be elim-
inated and It would save millions
of dollars In other ways.
In this way, American cotton
would at last b° free to compete on
j the world market. Many people
think that this country cannot com-
; pete In cotton on the w orld market.
On the rontrary. If our cotton con-
tinues selling for about twenty-
: seven cents — the world price —
we have some farmers — and many
small ones — who would raise cot-
ton and sell it at that price. Even
if they did not. and if only the

A BUSINESS CUE
President Dwight Eisenhower is
reported to be preparing to rec-
ommend |>ay increases costing more
than one billion dollars a year for
military personnel and Civil Ser-
vice employees. Thts, and other
factors appearing on the heriaon,
points to a new wave of inflation.
Although business Is currently ex-
periencing a slight recession, and
all prospects are that it will not
end for some six months, the fact
that President Eisenhower will
probably propose a budget calling
for the expenditure of several bil-
lion dollars more than was asked
,n the budget for fiscal 1958 is a
hint of things to come.
With defense expenditures ex-
pected to be boosted by the second
session of the 85th Congress, with
the President exjiected to recom-
mend increases for both military
personnel and Civil Service em-
ployees. it is obvious that Govern-
ment spending is going to Increase,
ff some sort of program can "be
worked out In the next session of
Congress which will provide pros-
iprlty for farmers, especially for
mall farmers, then another wave
f li flation is sure to begin In the
speond half of 1958 or the beginning
of 1959.
As has been the case in so many
past business recessions, defense
■spending and Increased pay for
Government employees has often
taken up the slack and provided
the foundation for a new inflation-
ary spiral. Perhaps the most Im-
portant factor in appraising the
probability of another inflationary
trend is the question of an adequate
farm program. The Soil Bank pro-
gram, while helping to hold down
surpluses and preventing some
farmers from starving, has not
been a boost to the national econ-
omy.
Because farm profits have dwind-
'ed considerably, purchasing power
n small towns, and In the rural
areas, has suffered and business
has suffered generally as a result.
Only heavy defense spending In
■ecent years has prevented a more
rerlrus business recession. If a
return cf prosperity to our farms
s couoled with increased defense
pending and a raise In pay for the
Armed Services and Civil Service
employees, the end of the recession
and Inflation, Is almost sure to
follow.
I.IC1IAKI) COOK
quota wrre raised, It would never-
theless mean that our cotton mills
could buy the cotton at twenty-
seven cents (rather than at the ar-
tificially high prices now being
paid, and therefore they would
bp enabled to sell their goods
cheaper and better compete with
their manufactured products all
over the world.
If this program Is successful with
cotton, or wheat, or any crop. It
could bo applied to others and could
prove to be the salvation of the
small farmer today or tomorrow.
U happy!
