Southwestern Peanut Grow-
ers' Association, Gorman,
Texas, has been designated
as an agency to which grow-
ers can deliver their peanuts,
Mr. Blanton said.
Under the diversion pro-
gram, only quota peanuts
will be sold at these estab-
lished prices, while “excess"
peanuts will be paid
current oil prices.
Quota peanuts, Mr. Blan-
ton explained, are those pro-
duced on the 1941 AAA pea-
nut acreage allotments. Fed-
eral payments will be made to
the cooperating producers for
quota peanuts diverted to the

delivery less estimated costs
of handling, storing and sell-
ing. “Excess” peanuts mar-
keted outside the designated
agencies will be subject to 3
cents per pound penalty, the
AAA official pointed out.
If it is impossible to resell
excess peanuts when they are
acquired and the required
prices paid producers are
more than the amount re-
ceived by the agency when
the peanuts are sold, federal
payments are provided to re-
imburse the agencies.
Mr. Blanton said that quota
peanuts purchased by the co-
operating agencies likely will
for at'be warehoused until demand
from the edible trade can be
determined, while non quota
peanuts probably wiil be sold
the crushing mills as soon as
they are acquired. Federal
payments, however, will not
be made for quota or non-
quota peanuts resold to the
Pray For Vision
By Kuth Taylor.
“Where there is no v.'sion,
the people perish.”
In this hour of trial and
tribulation, when the potent
forces for evil are unleashed
in the world, and the storms
of intense conflicting opinions
and prejudies are beating
around y»s, let us pray for
vision to see.
First, let us pray for vision
to see with clarity what lies
about us; to face the reality
of things, uncolored by any
shade of personal bias,
whether it be the rose color
of undue optimism, the deep
green of pessimism, the flam-
ing red of anger, the vivid
yellow of pride, or the grap
of indifference. Pray for
vision to see cleahly things
as they really are here and
now.
Second, let us pray for
vision to see with discern-
sidering well its source and
its possible effect; to judge
carefully and with matured
wisdom; not to be taken in
by any wave of carefully
stimulated mob opinion, nor
by any of the wild rumors so
carefully set afloat by alien
elements, and so well calcu-
lated to upset the morale and
minds of our sincere, peace-
loving, God-fearing people.
Tray for vision to see through
mists that veil the truth.
Third, let us pray for
vision to see with under-
standing, to view with dis-
passionate but clear eyes not
only what is going on, but
also the people whom it ef-
fects; to see all of our peopie
with eyes of compassion and
sympathy, comp rehending
their problems and judging
them as individuals, without
regard for race, creed
color, never indulging in gen-
eralities or discrim nation
ner sense of inferiority.
Factions, feuds and fights
feed on hate. It is based on
envy, jealousy, fear, suspi-
cion, Veiigious intolerance,
political defference—and oft-
en on injuries done to others.
As Tacitus said: “It is hu-
man nature to hate him
whom you have injured."
You recall the famous re-
mark. I don't want tu know
that man. I might like him.”
For the good of your town
and country and yourself, you
can not affoid hate.—Hubert
M. Harrison in “East Texas.’

hated. It is at the bottom of
many a community factional
fight and destroys team-work
in town-building. In an office,
a store or shop it is like sand
in the bearings of a machine.
In a nation girding itself for
a supreme crisis, the most ef-
fective sabotage that can be
done by any enemy of pro-
gress and freedom is to sow
the seeds of hate.
The dictators strive to di-
vide and conquer. Suspicion
and hate have destroyed more
men than bullets.
A wise home-spun sage,
formerly prominent in Texas
politics, once said that “no
man hai, time to hate more
than three people at once.” A
man recently told me that he
had to leave a certain town
because his “hate list” got too
many names on it. Another

was revolutionary. It took
longer to begin doing, but
once the tools for making tin*
parts were finished, they
produced muskets in greater
quantities than anything that
iiad been known before. Whit-
ney’s critics were confounded
by the facts of the case. Crit-
icism sprang from ignorance
of what was going on.
Today those who know the
scope of industry’s job know
that these preliminaries an*
necessary and they hail the
speed with which they arc
being completed. Mr. Knud-
sen has just announced that
one gigantic task of tooling
up is almost over. Such is
the genius of industry, how-
ever, that even while it has
been going on arms have been
rolling from factories in
quantities that were thought
impossible a year ago. When
in the near future it is finally
ended, we have it on Mr.
Knudsen’s authority that
"America can write its own
ticket on war material, and

In the light of such a state-
ment, what more can the
critics say?
each week, there is, in our
minds, an equality of im-
portance between the Smith's
"company” on page one and
the Jones’ dinner guests on
page seven.

Critics who wail unjustly
about imagined slowness in
America’s defense production
would do well to remember
the story of Eli Whitney, in-
ventor of the cotton gin and
Cancer
tion technique. If they don’t,
they will find themselves in
the same embarrassing posi-
tion that his critics did.
In 1798 the War Depart-
ment granted Whitney a con-
tract to make 10,000 muskets
within two years. At the end
of that time he was criticized
because he had produced only
a few hundred guns. But he
had done something far more
important — something the
critics didn’t know about. He
had invented machinery that
could make interchangeable
parts for those truns. and I Fodoral orovornment annro-
