M. ELEAZER I don’t get to visit much in the Dutch Fork now. But all routes sort of bend in that di- rectiow, as I go about the state. So I ride through there frequently, always amid a shower of memories. Funerals of the old-timers are what mostly call me there now. I went to one of late. A rainy, more blustery day you seldom see. A friend was heard to re mark, “The old folks said it always rains when a good per son passes. It does seem fun erals hit more than their share of rainy days. The church was full that day. As I sat on the front row with the other pallbearers, I saw the usual wasp clumsily flitting against the windows, as they did when I was a barefoot boy there. And I recalled how dis tracting they were to me as a kid. I always kept a close eye on them and heard little of the service. For I had a horror of one of those things lighting on me. Once one of those church wasps lit on the preacher’s coat collar. I and others almost had a fit as it crawled there, nearer and nearer to his bare neck. Cousin Mell could stand it no longer. Quietly, and self-ef facing as he could, he sidled up there and gave it a snap with his finger. It fell over there on the men’s side, and cousin Paul mashed it with his foot. Change, change, the constancy of it! There, where I once knew every living soul, wheth er he or she was at church or not, I walked mostly among strangers the other day. A beau tiful lady I had never seen sang in the choir. She turned out to be a cousin of mine. I met many folks there that day. Few faces were familiar. But all names were. And some bore resemblances that helped me call their names. But time sure changes things. I saw a grand mother there who was born since I left those hallowed hills. Gracious, you might think from that that I’m a Methuselah. But I’m not. I’m 62, left there for college in 1912, and have never lived there since. But I’m fa miliar with the roads, new and old. For they draw me. Almost anywhere down-state I go* the The Future For Cotton Cotton acreage in South Caro lina is only about 13 percent of the acreage planted in cotton 40 years ago. In 1918, South Carolina farmers planted 2,821,000 acres in cotton. The allotment for 1958 was 736,081 acres, of which 358,491 acres was placed in the Soil Bank. Cotton farming continues to be the major source of income for many of our citizens. No econ omic problem in South Carolina is more pressing or more per plexing than the problem of the small cotton farmer, who finds his acreage shrinking and his income falling while prices rise. Legislation In Congress I am still hopeful that Con gress will enact some meaning ful farm legislation at this ees- session, but the developments so far have not been encouraging. There have been two major at tempts to enact farm legislation during this session of Congress, and both attempts have been re buffed. Recognizing early in the session that it would be difficult to work out long-range farm legislation that would meet with general ap proval, Congress passed in March a joint resolution to provide a temporary stay of any reduction in support prices or acreage al lotments. I supported this reso lution, feeling that it was in the best interest of farmers in South Carolina and throughout the na tion. The resolution was ^vetoed by the President. Late last month, the House of Representatives rejected H. R. 12954, an omnibus bill which con tained farm legislation amending several existing laws. The bill included a new three-year price support and acreage allotment plan for cotton. As a part of the plan, cotton farmers would have voted in a referendum to deter mine whether they preferred stringent acreage allotments, or more liberal allotments with lower price supports. The day after this bill was killed, the Senate Agriculture Committee favorably reported a- nother general farm bill, S. 4071, with another formula for deter mining cotton price supports and acreage allotments. It would per mit individual producers to in crease acreage allotments by 40 percent if they would accept a price support reduction amount ing to 15 percent of parity. I am glad that this farm bill will be brought to the floor at an early date, so that Congress will have another opportunity to work out a suitable farm program. Long Term Solutions In the long run, of course, the salvation of the cotton farmer de pends on maintaining and expand ing the market for cotton. We should expand our research pro grams in order to discover more efficient production methods, in the mill and on the farm, and to find new uses for cotton. For example, the recently- an nounced cotton spinning research laboratory at Clemson college should be of great help in find ing the best methods for hand ling and processing the various grades of cotton. I hope, too that the Senate Textile Study Sub- Committee, of which I am a mem ber, will be able to write help- legislation as a result of the in dustry investigation it is under taking. Farm Income Recent gdvernment statistics show that the returns to all farm wor kers for their labor and manage ment reached a low of 69 cents per hour in 1957, while the aver age wage of industrial workers has reached $2.07 per hour. It is imperative that we re store to the American farmer a fair opportunity to earn a living from the land. VICTORIA, British Columbia (FHTNC)—John K.
