Bartlett Texas
February 28 1964
The Senate has taken up the
consideration of a combined
Wheat and Cotton Bill It now
seems possible that that body
mav nass some kind of bill be
fore it goes into the Civil Rights
filibuster next week. Even so it
is going to be very difficult to
pass anything through the
House in time to be effective
for 1964 crops. Yet if we do not
our entire economy is going to
feel the loss of buying power
which lower wheat prices will
bring and if American cotton
continues to cost the mills far
more than synthetics there is no
question but that the mills will
use still less cotton and more
bales will pile up in government
warehouses at taxpayer's ex-
pense. From the standpoint of Cen-
tral Texas it seems to me that
those who tell us that we should
seek farm programs which in
their words "will let the farmer
grow what he wants to grow
and get what the market will
bring" must be overlooking our
costs as compared with the
costs of producers elsewhere.
Unless we can produce as cheap-
ly as farmers elsewhere won't
this complete "freedom" result
in a complete loss of our mar
kets? Can any farmer in Cen-
tral Texas produce cotton as
cheaply as the growers in the
San Joaquin Valley of Califor-
nit? Can any Central Texas far-
mer produce as much maize as
the growers on the Texas
Plains? Can any farmer of our
area produce substantial quan-
tities of wheat as cheaply as it
can be produced in Kansas? Un-
less the answer to some of
these questions is "Yes" just
how can we stay in business
without government protection
or payments? Won't world
prices break- our farmers while
those from low cost areas are
still supplying the markets?
Before our people get too far
out in opposition to production
payments I think we better
give a lot of hard thought to
what it would mean to our own
area to lose these payments.
On yesterday the House vot
ed for a bill which prevents the
Federal Communication Com-
mision from fixing the amount
of time which broadcasters can
! devote to commercials. None of
us like too much advertising
either on the air or in the pa-
per but it is that advertising
which makes our papers and our
programs possible. We all say
we want less government inter-
ference with private business.
I think we better let the owners
of these stations decide what is
a reasonable balance. I there-
fore voted for the bill.

His insurance claim must be paid before ho can
afford to make repairs. But the money is slow in
coming. And ho has nobody to help him. This can
hardly happen to you if you insure your home
tlirough an independent agent.
You will be paid promptly and fairly when you
insure your car home or business through an
independent agent because;
x. Companies that sail Insurance through independ-
ent agents have outstanding records for making
payments promptly.
In those few instances when the payment is not
as prompt as the policyholder might wish he has
a nrofesstonal insurance man. hlx indimendent
agent on his side to get quick action.
We are independent
insurance ncents. As
.such we're pledged to-
I serve uou first. For a
free analysis of your in-
surance coverage just
