THURSDAY, AUGUST 19, 1987. Write Yonr Representatives! Some sort of crop production con trol law will be enacted! at the ses sion of Congress that convenes in January. In the meantime, the agri cultural committees of the House and Senate will study various plans and methodb of accomplishing the desired result. Many farmers and business men have told the editor of The People- Sentinel that they like the plan sub mitted by him to President Roosevelt, and in turn submitted by the Presi dent to the Secretary of Agriculture. Congressman Fulmer wrote the Presi dent that it ia his firm belief that “it is the fairest and most workable plan yet submitted to you or the Congress.” If you think well of the plan, write today to Congressman Fulmer, Sena tor Smith and Senator Byrnes and toll them so. The editor of The Peo ple-Sentinel has no axe to grind in this all important matter. He would like to see the cotton farmers—especi ally the little one- and two-horse fel lows—reap the benefit of their labor, but whether or not his plan ever be comes law depends in large part upon the farmers themselves in making their views and wishes known to their representatives in Congress. Don’t sit idly by and permit the present base acreage of allotments to become permanent. Get busy and force the adoption of a new method that will feed the big and little farmer out of the asms spoon. Write that letter TODAY! Net All Grief. Hope for the farmer keeping out of the red ink this Fail will depend upon the price he receives for his cotton. But regardless of the price it ap pears that there is certain to be some degree of prosperity for others who ha«e a hand >n gathering and market- tag tht crop. It now appears that the fourth largeet cotton crop in our history will be harvested and its value will exceed a billion dollars In spiU of the use here and there of the cotton pick ng machine, there le going to be work for of human cotton pickers, too. the big crop means n pros- for the finner, the rot ten merchant, the trucker, the rail roads. and for all other group# that have a hand in speeding the staple on its way to tho mills Looks Like the adage that “It’s an Ql wind that blows nobody good** ifl •nee more in order —The Augusta Herald la other words, everybody stamh to moke a profit out of the new cotton crop except the poor devils who labored and sweated early and late to pro duce it! .a Attendance Teacher Busy. Mrs. Eulallia T. Parker, recency elected attendance teacher for Barn well County, is busy these days get ting her work in shape for the com ing school year. In as much as the law recently passed by the Legisla ture is new, Mrs. Parker is anxious that the parents and guardians of school age know the law as well as the penalty provided in case of non-atten dance of these children: Among other things the law provides that:“All children are required to attend school during the entire term school is in session.” In order that illiteracy may be reduced in our State, earnest and honest cooperation is confidently expected. In cases where parents are financi ally unable to furnish books, these cases are to be referred to Trustees i nd the coun’.y superintendent of Education. Parents or guardians wilfully neg lecting ir retusirg to make chil dren fit'i’id s C‘i id aic subject to a fine not to exceed $25 for each day absent or imprisoment not in excess of ten days.” J. Harry Fickling. J. Harry Fickling, 44, of Blackville, died in Aiken on Monday of last week after a short illness. Funeral services •were conducted the following after noon by the Rev. Paul Bolen and the Rev. Mr. Hodges, of Neeces, and the body was laid to rest in the Blackville cemetery. Mr. Fickling is survived by one daughter, Mrs. Gregg Mear, and one aoa.

CROP PRODUCTION PUN IS ENDORSED (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) on that part of the crop that comes within the allotment and only those farmers who co-operate with the gov ernment) Letter to President Roosevelt Under date of August 14th, Con gressman Fulmer wrote President Roosevelt as follows: <r My dear Mr. Rooosevelt: “I am in receipt of a letter from Mr. Ben P. Davies, Editor of The People-Sentinel, Barnwell, S. C., en closing copy of a letter written you recently outlining his cotton produc tion plan. “I have given quite a lot of thought to this plan, and it is my firm belief that it is the fairest and most work able plan yet submitted to you or the Congress. “I agree with you in your statement some days ago that in pegging the price of cotton by making loans on a basis above the market price without production control legislation would be just like putting that much money in a ‘rat hole.’ The record will show that I made this statement when .the Farm Board Legislation was passed under the Hoover Administration. "The Hoover Administration pro ceeded to peg the price at 16 cents and in 1932 cotton was selling for 6 cents per pound, and we had on hand a surplus of thirteen million bales. “I regret exceedingly that the Sec retary of Agriculture did not urge, during the beginning of the present session of Congress, upon you and the Agricultural Committee the neces sity and the real importance of crop production control legislation instead of taking up your time as well as the urging of the Agriculural Committee the necessity of giving first thought and continued hearings on a farm tenant bill. “You remember, when you called the members of the Agricultural Com mittee to your office, I stated to you that it would be impossible to make land owners out of tenants until con structive legislation was passed which would stop the making of temnta out of landowners. This statement of m ne is clearly in line with just what I knew would happen this fall unless crop production control legislation was during this session of Coa- “I hope that you will demand of the Congress the passage of this IfP* of legislation before the present “Dear Ben: “I have your letter of the 11th, en closing copy of your newspaper ar ticle. end will take it hoaw with me to read tonight. "I know you are aware that Secre tary Wallace has submitted to ths Senate Agricultural Committee a pro gram for all crops, including cotton. The Committee intends to make an in vestigation. not only of that plan, hut ail of the various plana. Be- rsuse of tho AAA decision of the Su preme Court, the Committee believes that it must proceed cautiously to de vise any program that will not be de clared invalid by the Court. I am not a member of the Agricultural Com mittee. Senator Smith is the Chair men. and the present purpose of that Committee is to visit various sections of the country this Fall to submit to leaders the plan approved by the President and secure the views of the leaders. “I shall certainly call your plan to the attention of Senator Smith, and ask that he give it consideration along with the other plans submitted.” Ben F. Davis. Augusta, Ga., Aug. 18.—Benjamin F. Davis, 62, retired insurance man and farmer, died at his residence here Sunday night after an illness of only one day. Funeral services were held at Joyce Branch Baptist Church near Dunbarton Tuesday morning at 11 o' clock. The Rev. B. F. Foreman offi ciated and interment was in the church cemetery.

Before coming to Au gusta he was a prominent farmer of the Dunbarton section and after mov ing here he engaged in the insurance business for a number of years. His sudden passing Sunday came on the day that his son, B. F. Davis, Jr., of Albany, Ga., arrived here to spend his vacation with his parents Mr. Davis is survived by his wife, Mrs. Carrie Weathers bee Davis; one daughter. Miss Louise Davis, of Au gusta; one son, B. F. Davis, Jr., and three sisters, Miss Jennie Davis and Miss Sallie Davis, of Augusts, and Mrs. Lula Halford, of Jacksonville, FIs. Save Cotton Sales Receipts 1937 Crop County Agent H. G. Boylston noti fies cotton producers of Barnwell County that it seems advisable when they sell cotton that they obtain sales receipts covering each lot of the 1937 crop sold, whether one or more bales, and save these receipts carefully. While this advice is not on official instructions from the Agricultural Adjustment Administration, it is made at the suggestion of R. W. Hamilton, State administrative office, AAA, in view of any congressional ac tion regarding government payments to farmers on 1937 cotton. The sales receipts, the county agent points out, should show plainly and correctly: (1) The person making the sale, (2) the date of sale, (3) the weights of bales, (4) signature of purchaser or agent of purchaser, (5) the pro rata interest of all paties in terested, (6) the price per pound.
