We believe you will enjoy it: Newberry, S. C. January 29, 1942 J. Skottowe Wannamaker, Chmn., Farmer’s Aid Committee, St. Matthews, S. C. Dear Mr. Wannamaker:— The newspapers carry report from Washington to the effect that Con gress has refused to grant the appeal of the cotton and tobacco farmers from the crop failure sections of South Carolina, parts of Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana and Texas for a reimbursement for a small part of the disastrous losses which crop failure was due to no fault of the farmers but to conditions beyond their control—and extreme drought in the Spring, followed by continu ous rains and boll weevil and other insect infestation. The United States Agricultural Department shows this to be the worst crop failure that has occurred in these sections for ever 50 years. Other sections and other lines have been helped by the Gov ernment time and time again in gases far less meritorious as you $howed in your hearing. If the insurance on cotton had not been vetoed when enacted into law, but permitted to go into effect as it did on wheat some years ago, the cotton farmer would have been pro tected for at least a part of his losses as the wheat farmers have been protected during this period. The cotton and tobacco farmer was helpless. He could not protect him self. I see that Congress not only re fused to grant this small protection to the cotton farmers, but actually voted the members of Congress a liberal retirement fund, and refuse to even grant the farmer a penny’s assistance from the unused surplus parity fund, no part of which will be needed for paying the farmer parity as parity price was set too low. My God, will some one please tell the world how long it will be until the loyal farmers may, if ever, receive an equal opportunity with other lines. We.are facing the most acute shortage of labor on the farm since the War Between the States due to the fact that aside from the crop failure, even had we produced a crop, at the prices grant ed to the farmers, we would not have been able to pay a wage scale for farm labor that wil enable us to compete with o|her lines. If the farmer ever received a square deal, to say nothing of a retirement as. sistance as Congress has voted to themselves; it will be after the Mil lenium Dawn and even then if God were to rain manna—honey and frit ters, for these farmers, the politicians would turn the farmers plates up side down so that these blessings would bounce off the plates and they, the politicians, could devour them and then explain to the farmers what a blessing they had bestowed upon them by preventing them from par taking of their blessings and either becoming ill because they were not used to such fancy diets and would expect a continuation of equal oppor tunities with other lines a nd that the politicians would stop farming the farmer, prospering upon his adver sity. All the farmers have to look to is the moon and the hope to be prepar ed to meet their God with clean hands. In the meantime, the farmer can at least repay one debt—repay the poli ticians on election day at home—let them stay and famt as we do with out pay. Sincerely, B. C. MATTHEWS. ST.
