YARBOROUGH
Don Yarborough, candidate for
the Democratic gubernatorial
nomination, said in Austin that
the intrusion of big business into
farming is reducing the number
and quality of farms and forcing
the family farmer "to fight for
survival. ”
Yarborough said that "big bus-
iness is using farming for its own
tax advantages and when they
see fit they drive prices down to
a point where the small farmer
sees an entire year’s work go
down the drain because he can’t
compete with a big eastern cor-
poration with tremendous finan-
cial resources. "
"There is something wrong with
a system that permits a rubber
products company to operate its
principal business at huge profits
and also operate a huge poultry
farm at a deliberate loss when-
ever the company finds it neces-
sary for tax purposes", Yarborough
charged.
"These kinds of Operations have
forced small farmers into a fight
for survival", Yarborough said,
"and we need some new approa-
ches in Texas to keep our family
farms from being swallowed up
and turned into a series of tenant
farms. ”
In Waxahachie, Texas Yarbo-
rough said that Texas must stop
the exodus of young people from
the homes they love by providing
more industrial and job opportun-
ity in small towns.
"According to recent polls, 50
per cent of the population want
to live in small towns or rural
areas but 70 per cent of the pop-
ulation live on one per cent of
the land, ” the gubernatorial can-
didate said.
"Texas must place special em-
phasis on helping small towns
obtain new industry to revive the
economy of these corner stones
of our society", Yarborough said.
"We can no longer shrug off
the problem of the exodus of
young people horn small towns
and say ’let the cities worry a-
bout their new citizens. ”*
"It is senseless to dry up small
towns just to create urban popu-
lation problems when the situation
can be solved by imaginative
leadership willing to go all the
way to find solutions, " Yarbo-
rough said.
