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!

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.”

Rev. Mr. Hodges, of Neeces, and the
body was laid to rest in the Blackville

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.”

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.
