Fanners Advised To Secure Their Fertilizer Early Indications are that there will be a sufficient quantity of all fer tiliser materials, wi<h the possible exception of potash, to meet the fanners' needs for the coming sea son, acording to B. D. Cloaninger, head of the Clemson College De partment of Fertiliser Inspection and Analysis. He pointed out that the workers in the potash mines have been on strike for more than M days, causing a net loss in pro duction of approximately 5,000 tons of potash per day. He says a number of manufac turers of fertilisers, especially the larger ones, have their plants fill ed to capacity with thoroughly cured, high analysis mixtures and are in a position to make immedi ate deliveries, but due to the pot ash shortage they may not be able to deliver later. Some of the mix- tui/s now available have been curing since August. Such mix tures, properly stored, will remain In excellent mechanical condition. Since both manufacturers and dealers have very limited storage facilities, considerable amounts of fertilizer should move to the farms in January to permit the manufac turers to prepare, ‘base-down' and' cure additional mixtures,” Mr. Cloaninger reports. “Ample cur ing is essential for good drillable fertilizers. Even though certain crop acreages have been reduced, there will probably still be a great demand for fertilisers. Early de liveries of fertilisers will be ne cessary in order to permit the manufacturers U> meet the farm ers’ needs,” ha emphasises.

Congress May Do Something About Inequities In The Cotton Allotments Kershaw county fanners who are dissatisfied with their cotton acre age allotments will be interested in s statement from E. H. Agnew, president of the South Carolina Farm Bureau, upon his return from Washington that “Congreai seems to be in a mood to do something abont Inequities In 1950 cotton al lotments.” Mr. Agnew, Neville Bennett, Al fred Scarborough and B. B. Wil liams attended a belt-wide Farm • Bureau cotton conference in Wash ington on Monday and Tuesday of last week and spent Wedneeday conferring with members of the South Carolina delegation in Con- iw said further, “At the full agreement was on two points: (1) That having allotted acreage they do not want for planting Should hare an opportanlty lend k to the county PMA com mittee for redistribution within available in &CT6” to do this Jib; but believed that actual la 1969 would* not greatly the 21 million acre na- Intiasnl "The intent of the proponed ac tion would be to relieve hardship cants without Increasing 1950 plantings more than absolutely necessary to do so. ‘ "Thera was no attempt at re writing the acerage allotment law.

If Phonos: 611-J, 1074-W and 1044-W BASKIN & COTHRAN Attomeys-et-Law Bishopville, S. C. / Ever since the anti-trust lawyers filed their suit to put A&P out of business, they have been making, in the ne' mm! over the radio, various “allegations” about how they think this company does business. Please remember that “allegations” are chargee that have not been, proved. “allegations” about this company In this case they will be disproved. There have beep times in the past when the anti-trust lawyers made very that the courts eventually decided were utterly without foundation. In our last advertisement we told you about the time the anti-trust lawyers charged that A&P, two other food chains and two labor onions oouapirad to fin the price af bread in Washington, D. C. this case cam# to trial, it was revaafcd that tba defendants were actually seffing bread sort other stores m Washington, and there wne ahsnkdaly no evidence that they had n any such “allseed” conspiracy. That was the time Federal Judge T. Alan Goldsbaranch uaslnicted the jury to bring In a venHct of “not guilty.” ^ ^ “if yom mere fo shorn thu record to any nepeAkeesf lPanf Kefayrr in (he world, he mould toll you that (here mas not any ovidoaco at olL “Honootly, lhaoonovar in my ouaar forty yoantaxporiancooeon triad a auo that woo at ahoolutoly dovoid of ovidonco ao thu. That io tho honott truth. I haoa never eeen one lihe it” But this was not the only time that the anti-trust hneytra made such serious “allegations” against A&P which were false. Again, and still again, they brought cases against A&P and suffered defeat % As we have said, we think you are entitled to know about these other cases. And now, we are going to tell you about the second time the anti-trust lawyers were wrong. ( 'm !! In December, 1941, the enti-trust lawyers brought Rcrimmel suit in Wilson, North Caroline. that A&P’t fresh fruit and vegetable buying sub- other good American citizens, had conspired to fix and depress prices paid farmers for potatoes in 1 North Carolina, Virginia and Maryland. Can anyone imagine any charge calculated to be more damaging to a retail grocery business that must rely on farmers, day after day, for the food we distribute to our customers? In this case the anti-trust lawyers gave a story to the newspapers, telling millions of farmers that we were the kind of people who would force their prices down, deprive them of a decent income, and lower their families' living standard.

They made these charges despite the fact that it has always been A&Ps policy to pay our farm suppliers fair market prices for all produce; to aid agriculture through better distribution of its products; to narrow the spread between farm and retail prices; and to help fanners build better markets for their products. That is why many thousands of farmers all over the country are now coming to our support. ^ When the case finally come to trial, the anti-trust lawyers put on as their first witness a potato expert of the U. S. Department of Agriculture. This expert, who was the anti-trust lawyers’ own witness, testi fied that contrary to the anti-trust lawyers' “allegations,” the defendants made every effort to help the Department of Agri culture in its efforts to aid the potato farmer in better marketing of his products and in getting a better price for his products. When the anti-trust lawyers had put in their evidence and had argued their case Federal Judge G G Wyche directed the jury to bring in a verdict of “not guilty.'* lodge Wyche raid to the anti-truet lawyers: "l have studied this case from the very oatset. In my i there is no testimony produced from which it can be inferred that the defendants entered into a combined** l depress or lower the price of potatoes. “I might say that / never tried a case in my life where a, effort, more work, more investigation had bean done, almost with a fine-tooth comb to gather evidence, as was < in this case. “But, as was said a long time ago, you can*t make brick strew, and yoa can't make a case without facts.**' .. So, here was a case in which the anti-trust lawyers made seriously i charges against A&P in which the Judge decided that there were no to support those charges. . -V . ; 0 That is why we say the anti-trust lawyers can ha wrong 1 been wrong. That is why we say that they are wrong again, just as they wrong in the Washington bread case and (h* Nort potato case. We are going to show the American people that the suit to destroy really a suit against efficiency and against real competition. .
