A Farm Report
Now that President Eisen
hower has submitted his farm
measage to the Congress, the
House and Senate Agriculture
Committees have begun con
sideration of farm legislation
for 1960. One of the principal
farm decisions which must be
made by the Congress is wheth
er to extend eligibility for the
conservation reserve (soil bank)
program beyond this year.
PRESIDENT Eisenhower has
asked the Congress to increase
the soil bank
age from
present 28
million acres
to 60 million
acres. Senator
Ellender (D-
La.), Chair
man of the
Senate Agri
culture Com
mittee, has
stated that the program will be
neither extended nor expanded.
Congressman Harold Cooley (D-
NC), Chairman of the House
Agriculture Committee, has in
dicated that he expects the pro
gram to be extended although
it may carry some other name
and operate differently.
One of the principal reasons
the Administration wants the
program extended and expanded
is to fight the mammoth wheat
surplus of 1.8 billion bushels—
$8.8 billion—which the Govern
ment will be holding by mid-
1960. The President has sug
gested that wheat fanners be
paid in whole or part with sur
plus Government-stored wheat
for placing their wheat acreage
in the soil bank. Whits an effort
will be made to channel a sub
stantial part of the authoriza
tion funds for operating the
soil bank program to the wheat
areas, there is little question
but that representatives of
other farm areas will insist on
haring a proportionate share of
the fundr allocated for use in
their areas, if the pfogram is
extended.
THE HOUSE Agriculture
Committee is holding hearings
on general farm legislation.
Among the various bills pending
before that committee is a new
proposal which was introduced
by Congressman Poage (D-
Tex.) and several others. It
would provide for compensatory
payments, geared to the cost-
of-living index, rather than
price supports, for all farm com
modities except tobacco, sugar,
and wool. These latter com
modities are already under rigid
controls. The bill would autho
rize each commodity group to
establish voluntary marketing
quotas in exchange for the com
pensatory payments.
Congressman John McMillan
(D-SC), a ranking member of
the House Agriculture Commit
tee, has voiced doubt that a com
prehensive farm bill will be
passed this year. Many others
hold this same view. Something
will probably be done, however,
to help cope with the wheat sur
plus, and some. action will be
taken one way or the other on
the soil bank progrram. In addi
tion, our tobacco farmers will be
the beneficiaries of legislation
introduced by several of us from
tobacco States for the purpose
of stabilizing tobacco support
prices for 1960 at the 1959 level
of 55.51 per pound for flue-cured
tobacco. For the succeeding
years the support price will be
based on a 8-year moving aver
age of the tobacco farmers’ cost
of living.
AGRICULTURE Department
officials have informed me that
egg, broiler, and hog prices
should be better in 1960 than
1959, principally because of an
expected reduction in produc
tion. These officials are fearful,
however, that turkey prices may
go down sharply if growers go
forward with their plans to in
crease production by 6%.
Precinct Day
Saturday, February 27, at 8
p.m. is precinct meeting time
for South Carolina Democrats
(unless some different time has
been ret locally). If you want
to have a voice in selecting dele
gates to the County, State, and
National political conventions
you should be present for this
important meeting.

A QUESTION OF
NATIONAL SOVEREIGNTY
Informed sources in Washing
ton report that there will be a
mqve in tlus session of Congress
to nullify *the provisions of the
Connally Amendment which pro
tects the sovereignty of the Unit
ed States against actions of the
World Court in the United Na
tions. The report is that measures
have been introduced in the Sen
ate and the House which would
give the World Court jurisdiction
over purely internal affairs in cer
tain types of litigation in the
United States.
Before his untimely death Sena
tor Robert A. Taft said: “I can
not conceive of a responsible Am
erican statesman willing to subject
the great principles we have de
veloped in this country to destruc
tion by an alien majority . . . Any
one who suggests such a plan is
proposing an end to that liberty
which has produced in this coun
try the greatest happiness, the
greatest production, the highest
standard of living the world has
ever seen.”
Created By U. N.
The World Court is composed
of 15 judges elected by the United
Nations General Assembly and Se
curity Council. The United States
can have only one judge on the
Court. Most of the judges are from
Socialist and Communist nations.
Nine judges constitute a quorum
for the Court, and a majority of
the quorum is enough for a de
cision; from which there is no ap
peal. Five judges thus could ren
der decisions detrimental to the
interest of the United States—if
the protection of the Connally
Amendment were to be destroyed.
The World Court was establish
ed along with the United Nations.
But the U. S. Congress had to
ratify America’s participation in
it and acceptance of its decisions.
Senator Wayne Morse introduced
the World Court resolution in the
Senate and Christian Herter, now
Secretary of State, introduced it
in the House in 1946.
Power To Decide
The resolution said, in part:
. . the Congress . . . consents to
the deposit by the President of the
United States with the Secretary
General of the United Nations of
a declaration . . . recognizing as
compulsory . . . the jurisdiction of
the International Court of Justice
in all legal disputes hereafter
arising concerning (a) the inter
pretation of a treaty; (b) any
question of, international law; (c)
.the existence of any fact which,
if established, * would constitute a
breach of an international obliga
tions; (d) the nature or extent of
the reparation to be made for the
breach of an international obliga
tion . . . providing that such dec
laration shall hot apply to . . .
disputes with regard to matters
which are essentially within the
domestic jurisdiction of the Unit
ed States.”
Senator Tom Connally of Texas
asked the Senate to tack onto this
last provision these six words—
“as determined by the United
States.” In other words instead of
the World Court ' itself deciding
whether a litigation was within
the domestic jurisdiction of the
United States, our own govern-
men would rtserve this right of
decision unto itself. The Connally
Amendment was passed by a vote
of 62 for, 2 against. But this was
in 1946. Today there is a sub
stantial move underway to repeal
it.
Protection Needed
Capable legal authorities advise
me that the cancelling out of the
Connally Amendment would can-
cel out a part of the sovereignty
of our nation and lia people and
hand it over to a World Court,
and that it could lead to crippling
acta againat our nation. Certainly
there ia enough at stake In this
move to strike out the Connally
Amendment provisions .to .cause
every citlsen to look carefully into
Ita ramiflcationa.
..Some high Government officials
favor knocking out tha Connally
Amendment They say it would
make their Job In international
diplomacy castor. They soy the U.
N. appointed Judgeo on Uto World
Court would not usurp the powers
of our Govommtat. But who can
ho sure, with Communists and So
cialists wielding groat power In
the U. N. and with their Judgsa on
the World Court bench? . The
chance la too great The Connally
Amendment Is needed.

HOMEMADE GOODIES
Just how to make a lot of good
things at fettme is Carried in Bul
letin 134 entitled “South Carolina
Homemade Pickles, Preserves,
Jams, and Jellies.” This valuable
bulletin was originally written by
that pioneer in this field, the late
Mrs. Dora Dee Walker, long with
the Extension Service in this
state, and it was later revised by
her present successor, Miss Mar
garet Martin.
Another valuable bulletin along
this line for the homemaker is
number 112, “Home Canning of
Fruits, Vegetables, and Meats in
South Carolina.” It too is by Miss
Martin. \ .
These publications are available
free from your local home demon
stration agent or from the Publi
cations Department at Clemson.
. MARKETING
Marketing is surely one of the
farmer’s greatest problems. We
have a state Agricultural Market
ing Commission that helps with
this. Our Clemson Extension mar
keting chief, J. E. Youngblood, is
its executive director. They have
aided in surveying and establish
ing needed marketing facilities at
a number of places over the state.
One of these was in Pageland.
County Agent Willis tells me it
outgrew its space there and is be
ing moved to the western edge of
town. That market handles most
of the big melon crop of that area.
SOIL TESTING IN NEWBERRY
Late laat year they had a drive
on to get the soils sampled‘in
Newberry County and tested
by Clemson. County Agent Bus
by says 7,424 samples were got
ten from about a thousand
farms, tested, and fertilizer and
liming recommendations made.
Thus a lot of farmers there are
in position to do more Intelli
gent liming and to get better re
sults from fertilization than be
fore. This service is available in
all counties, but special drives
have been put on in some. Conn- >
ty agents haVe the necessary
containers, send the samples to
Clemson, and then interpret the
results when they come bpek.
so. They would do anything for
us and we for them. They have
largely drifted from my know
ledge now and gone from the
Fork. I’d sure like to see Zeke
(my favorite) and Chike, and
Fawly, and Green. And then
there was Henry. He was from a
large family. One day I asked
him where they alii slept. He
said, “Us got 5 beds, a cradle,
and a crotch (meaning cot.)”
And then among my white
baddies was, first and foremost,
Marvin. He later lived in Co
lumbia, did all right, and died' a
few years ago. My the happy
hours, weeks and years we had
together during the carefree
days of boyhood! I could write
a book abont me and Zeke and
Marvin. And then there 'were
Mike and Wilbur and Jhck and
Case, and Harold and Louie too,
who came to our school from
across the- creek. If we could get
together now. I’ll bet we would
never quit talking.
In the after years we make
new friends as we go along,
adult friends. And they too are
good. But they are never quite
like those we had back in our
shirttail days, when we swam
naked in the creek, feasted on
the wild bounty of the woods,
beat out of everything we could
that resembled work, and suffer
ed together with starched
blouses and shoes on at church
on hot Sundays.

COASTAL SCORES AGAIN
Coastal Bermuda grass continues
to prove its value and make friends
where handled right.
County Agent McCord of
Georgetown has often told me how
they liked it down there. And last
fall he said, “It was outstanding,
not only producing a lot of graz
ing, but giving us the only hay we
made. We cured it between rains.”
Coastal hay does cude quick.
You can usually have it 'housed
while other hays are still exposed
to weather, curing.
Our Coastal man, Hugh Woodle,
tells me you can sprig this grass
in at all seasons. But spring ?s us
ually the best time. And that’s not
far off now. There are various
ways of planting the sprigs. Your
County agent can give you some
good ideas on this. /
WEATHER!
Weather is a powerful factor in
farming. It can undo your best
efforts. County Agent Lindler of
Lee says they had a lot of cotton
not worth taking out of the field
last fall. Livingston of Florence
said it ruined most of their 'har
vest, except tobacco, that was al
ready in. Johnston of Bsaufort said
it took their fall truck crop just as
it was getting ready for the har
vest. And so the story wont.
Some sort of crop insurants!
Ws sure need that.
BOYS ARE THAT WAY
No one else la quite like a pal
of boyhood.
And we had ’em for sure In
the Stone Hill* where I came up.
Yes, folks meant e lot then.
For thet’s about all we had. The
root was the untamed and rag
ged hills and vales forming the

of the two rivers, Broad and Sa

for their entire length. Short rows
are eliminated and cultivation ia
made much faster and easier with
less crop destruction from turn
