Last year, when the contest wa/ ne.d at Clemson, I bought a batch -of those superior broilers and put them in our freezer. That spoiled us. And now ordianry broilers look mighty sorry to us when we get to 1 eating 'em. . So it’s better meat chickens for the future, now that science has tak en hold of that. Poison Pays 1. The control of the boll weevil jtsi such a . problem, and there are 401 many ways^of dring it wrong, the Clemson Extension Service, m cooperation with County Agent Can non of Laurens and the farmers of ! Hopewell community, put- a- man 4 ' there the past summer to assist far-; fners in, doing the job right from the' beginning on a community bas is. (Gracious, that's a long sentence. I don’t like ’em.) ThV* they tried hard to do every- > thing right and on time, And all the. farms fought the weevil. So there . was little’ weevil overlapping, and poison bad a chance to show its stuff in saving a cred it so happened that we had a bad j weevil year. And tins $work had a chance to show what u community cOuld do in controlling the WneVil, if . all worked togetbpr. Those 34 farmers had 2,19b Veres' of cotton. The year before, Laurchs ^county averaged 320 pounds of lint' _ cotton per acre. The past year it av- ( eraged 230, whidh indicates the se verity of the weevil in 1949. But let’s look at Hopewell com munity. In 1948 these same farmers averaged 393.5 pounds of lint. While | last year, which was such a bad one all over the state and ih the rest of,, Laurens county, they came up with ! 420.8 pounds of lint per acre. They used very little more poison | 'than other farmers. But they started; about 10 days earlier, and did it as! nearly right as the Clemson man | could show them and weather would j permit. And it was on a _commun- ity basis.. So most of them di,d not have weevils eternally coming in from adjoining fields where no’ppi- sor) was used. Yes, these new poisons used right will hold boll weevils down.. And that’s what we have been looking for so long. Last year rot got a, lot of the cotton that waas saved from the .weevil. But that does not often happen. : > Of All Things I ready where a farmer broke broody hens from setting by placin?, ice cubes in their nests.

CO. ~ Anfi-trust liWygfs in Washington filed their suit to put the AdcP out of business, th#y immediately handed out for all the neWspapers of the United States A story giving in detail thelf “alUgAiUma” against this company. When W€ published advertisements giving our side of the case, they protested, even though they had made, and have eofitmued to make, in newspapers, in speeches and over the radio these charges that would seri ously danidfe *ur business, if they were believed by the public. J _ L ■ 1 - * . ► r Every week millions of American housewives patronize A&P stores. Many of them would noUtfanUo deal with the kind of people that the anti-trust lawyers represent us to be. 'We think we have a right to protect this 90-year old business which has made it possible for miHions of American families to get more and better food for their money, which is providing high-wage employment for I 10,000 Americans and which is helping millions of farmers to improve the methods of distributing their produce. f _ , * No answer by us would be necessary if the anti-trust lawyers were always right. But they, like all other human beings, can be wrong. In this case 'we know they are wrong. ———-1 They have been wrong before. <4 ;V In case after case they made charges against A&P which were proved in court to be utterly without foun dation. ^ » We will prove that statement right up to the hilt. — Th^did trU8t laWyerS tcl! the pubIic that they Won a P revious anti-trust suit against us at Danville, Illinois. What they do not tell you is that they brought case after case against the A&P in federal courts all over the United States, Before they won this case they suffered three defeats. ^ The anti-trust lawyers have told everybody about the time that the courta said they were right. We thml, you are entitled to know about the three times the courts said they were wrong.' Now we are going to tell you about the fitatone. In future advertisementa we will tell you about all of thea,' —.The Washington Bread Case In April, 1941, the <*ti-trust lawyers broighf A criminal sat ih Wash ington, IX. C. They charged that the A&P, two grocery chain competitors, two labor unions and other good American citizens had conspired to fix the prica of bread. Can anyone imagine any charge calculated to be more damaging to a retail grocery busineiss? I hey asked millions of people to believe that we were the kind of grocers who would take bread out of the mouths of poor people and make' it harder for a wife and mother to feed her family. These charges were'false. In that case it developed that thr AAP nnrl ^mpirtitftrt who were charged with conspiring with us to maintain high ^bread prices actually sold bread cheaper than'hfost'of the other stores in Washington. The antitrust lawyers presented and argued Aieir cAiei When they were through. Federal District Judge "Allen T. Goldsborough ruled that AAP and the other defendants did nof even have to put ill a defense. He ordered the jury to bring in k vCrdfet of “not guilty.' 4 Judge Goldsborough said to iheh anti-trust lawyers: “If you were to show this record to any experienced > trial lawyer in the world, he would tell yoa that there < was not any evidence at all. ‘ • * **''*•’. • . “Honestly, I have never in my over forty yeard expert* ence seen tried a case that was as absolutely devoid of, evidence as this. That is the honest truth. I have napM seen one like it.* 9 ~ So here was a case in which the anti-trust lawyers made seriously charges against the A&P, in support of which, in the words of the court, they did not have “any evidence at all.” v . _ This was not the only time the anti-trust lawyers made charges against the A&P which the courts said were not true. In future ads we are going to tell you about these other suits. We are not going to duck, either. We are going to jtell you about the criminal suit that the anti-trust lawyers won at DanvUlt, Illinois. The anti-trukt lawyers say that they are not attacking ‘•bigness” or efficiency. They have to s^y that because the-courts have decided that bigness and efficiency and selling at Jow prices is not a crime. But the fact is crystal clear that they only brought their bread suit against big companies and against companies that sold good bread at the lowest prices; just as in this current suit they are attacking a big companv that sells good food cheep. ; ' \ ' We are going to show the American people |hat the suit to destroy A&f* |i really a suit against efficiency and against real competition. The real question involved in' this suit is whether businessmen are going jto be encouraged to do a better and more efficient job; or whether we are going to let the anti-trust lawyers in Washington blow the whistle on anybody who gets big by giving the people more for their money. v ■ ' No one can make as believe that it is a crime to try to sell beet IWSlity food at the lowest possible price.
