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. He said they
would usually Sit for a few minutes,
soon go to squirming a bit, and then
leave in disgust and not come back.
Boys Are That Way
We always asked a blessing at
mealtime. And all of the kids had,
to be able to, for they were often;
called upon.
Once we had company, and [
just happened to call upon my bro->
ther that time. By mistake, be start
ed off» on the Lord’s Prayer in
stead. He tiied to go back and get
it right. But he and I got so tick
led we had to leave the table.
Sometime ago I was up in the
woods of northern Maine. While sit
ting arodnd a log fire there in Har-^
ry Umphrey’s lodge at the end of*
the road, he told us of a memorable
visit he had a good many years ago
with the la'te Cleveland Sanders at
Ritter, down in Colleton county.
There he had received the last Word
in southern hospitality.
A beautiful blessing he heard there

~ 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.
