Farmers need to organize
COW POKES
By Act Reid
At times past in the history of this
nation, rural areas in genera I and
farm people in particular were infirm
control of the political power of this
nation. This has long since changed
and now rural Americans, especially
farmers, find themselves in a distinct
mi nority.
According to the latest figures
from the U. S. Department of Com-
merce, less than 6 percent of this
country's total population is consi-
dered rural. Farmers of today are
under extreme pressure. The econo-
mic position of farmers has worsened
because of the costprice squeeze.
Parity is extremely low. Not even
M
The Old Philospher
a spectacular increase in productive
efficiency has enabled the farmer to
offset production and living cost
brought on by spiraling wage and
price increases.
If there ever was a time when
farmers and ranchers needed strength
through organization, that time is
now. The Medina County Farm Bu-
reau, with 768 members, is seeking
to increase its membership strength
through a county-wi de membership
drive.
Guest Editorial by Richard Schweers
Chairman Membership Committee,
Medina County Farm Bureau
Not worth more ... just chine higher
.-A
Dear editor:
To get my mind off some Decem-
ber bills that ran a lot higher than I'd
figured--I know a nickel tractor
bolt now costs a quarter but it takes
time to get used to it — I pulled out
a newspaper I'd been saving and
hadn't read far before I ran into (j/n
article that made me feel a I i ttl
better.
According to it, I'm not the only
one having trouble adjusting to high
costs. 'Australia is in the same boat.
Five years ago, it seems, Austra-
lia ordered two dozen American jet
fighter-bombers at 4 million dollars
each. By the time they were ready
for delivery the other day the cost
was up to 10 million each.
Instead of 96 million dollars, the
bill now comes to 240 million, and if
you've ever bought anything, makes
no difference whether it's a tractor
bolt or a fighter-bomber, you know
when the^bi II arrives at two and a
half times what you'd figured, you're
in no mood to laugh.
The Australians though are going
to have to come on in to the modern
age. Look at it this way: in 1950
an American farmer could sell 10
calves and buy a new pick-up truck.
Today he has to.$ell 20 calves to buy
a pick-up.
V,
The Australians are simply going
to have to realize that w h i I e five
years ago they could buy a fighter-
bomber for say 2 million kangaroos,
today it takes 5 million kangaroos.
Me and Australia are going to have
to raise more calves and kangaroos if
we want to hold our own.
Ten years ago a doctor's fee for
delivering a baby was $50 to $ 1 00 .
Today it's anywhere frorp $250 to
$1,000.
This is not to say that babies,
bolts, oc fighter-bombers are worth
more today, they just come higher.
Yours faithfully,
J.A.
