EDITORIALBy Tom Linder 
 
e On Thursday, May 28, I had the pleasure of attending a 
meeting of the Kiwanis Club.at Wrens, Jefferson County, Geor- 
 
  
 
The meeting was attended by an outstanding representa- 
 
tive group of citizens, all of whom were very much interested 
in conditions now facing the country. Being in one of the best 
farming sections they were, of course, keenly interested im the 
blems facing agriculture. _ 
 
I was especially impressed by a visit to the wonderful vo- 
i ona! building newly erected on the grounds of the as 
High School. 
 
This building is equipped for instructing youth in shop 
 
rk; metal work, wood work, and many other trades, as well. 
 
This building, hei complete, will contain a complete quick 
freezing unit. The entire project is a monument to the farsight- 
d leadersship of the community of Wrens and surrounding ter- 
 
\ Tt was most agreeably surprising to note the advanced pro- 
 
g go of ezops in that section. Corn, cotton, and peanuts looked 
 
oe to tassel. 
J efferson County, I understand, has the largest number of

J efferson County, like the balance of the farm belt, isd 
perately short on farm labor. 
 
I called attention to a few of the long range problem: fe 
ing agriculture of the South in the years to come, 
 
_Among these problems which we will have to face is t 
babassu nut. and other oil bearing nuts which grow in abund. 
ance in the water shed of the Amazon River in Brazil. 
This great region from the mouth of the Amazon R e 
back to the foot of the Andes is roughly one thousand mile 
wide and three thousand miles long, almost as large as the Un 
ed States. 4 
 
These nuts grow in profusion and only the lack of transpo 
tation and the development of machinery for processing has de 
layed the coming of this unlimited supply of oil into the mar 
 
kets of the world. 
 
The other night in Atlanta I itlonded a meeting where 
gentleman from Brazil gave a most interesting account of t 
agriculture potentialities in Brazil. This gentleman, while Ae 
erican born, is now a naturalized citizen of Brazil. _, 
 
Brazil produces hogs and beef cattle so cheap that e is im- 
possible for the American. Farmer working under present ecor, 
nomic conditions to compete. 
 
This gentleman stated that twenty-five cents would buy a

-much in Brazil as one dollar would buy in the United 
 
States today. 
The American and British meat packers, Ar- 
mour and Company and Swift and Company, have 
plants in Brazil and they buy and butcher these Bra- 
zilian cattle and hogs and much of this meat has 
been imported into the United States to compete with 
American packing house products. : 
Cotton grows practically wild in Brazil, and 
there is a large variety of fruits native to the country 
which are rapidly coming into commercial use. _ 
Trade agreements which Congress is making 
with these other countries permit these products to 
come into the United States, and it is only a question 
of time until the American farmer will be completely 
put out of business. 2 
The reason I say Congress is making these trade 
agreements is because Congress delegated the power 
of making these agreements to the Secretary of State, 
and the Secretary of State is actually signing the 
agreements. Se 
All Boards, Bureaus and Governmental depart- 
ments in Washington, are simply agents of Congress 
working under a power delegated to them by Con-

Today the whole economic life of the nation is 
d up with rubber and gasoline, Most of the farm- 
 
do not even have a way of getting to town with-. 
t rubber and gasoline. | 
 
Most of our crops, especially food crops, can- 
ot be hauled to the market without rubber and gaso- 
 
  
 
Much of the plowing, cultivating and harvesting 
f crops cannot be done without rubber and gaso- 
ine. Distribution is paralyzed without rubber and 
asoline.  : 
_ The International Rubber monopoly, while re- 
sing to sell rubber to the United States, was power- 
enough to prevent the manufacture of synthetic 
 
ubber within the United States. 
Seven months before Pearl Harbor, on May 8, 
94 | Under Secretary of War, Robert P. Patterson, 
 
 Tt is: not beyond the realms of possibility that 
mports of crude rubber may be sharply curtailed 
thin the coming year. 
After this warning the International Rubber 
nopoly refused to agree to a one hundred per 
nt production until Secretary of Commerce, Jesse 
Jones, promised that the Government reserve 
iid not be thrown on the market to depress 
es. eS 
On the last page of this issue will be found a 
's item from Washington which throws some very 
rtling light on the reason that the nation today 
o rubber, in this the most perilous time of the 
ons history. sE 
The power influences of the Sugar Trust have 
n thrown against the manufacture of synthetic 
bber from American agricultural products because 
Sugar Trusts wants to furnish this alcohol from. 
gar plantations in the islands of the sea which they 
i 
The Petroleum Corporations have opposed the 
anufacture of rubber from products of American 
ms because they want it made from petroleum, 
 
  
 
  
 
  
 
  
 
The International Rubber Trusts have worked 
prevent the manufacture of synthetic rubber be- 
they want to keep America open for a market 
bber from the Malay Peninsular and the East 
Islands. 
The only patriotic position for anyone to take 
make this rubber from grain produced on Amer- 
rms. 
This is true for several reasons. The amount of 
eum is limited. The demand for petroleum fuel 
airplanes, automobiles, trucks, tractors, diesel 
igine, etc., will be increased many times over after 
war when the world gets back to business.

The petroleum supply should be conserved. 
e grain crops are produced annually and the 
 
  
 
  
 
rms would provide work for millions of people for 
ars to come. ie :

men and white collar men, are at the mercy of these 
Boards and Bureaus and Governmental agencies, be- 
cause farmers, business men and white collar work- 
ers are unorganized. . ee 
Prior to 1929 thousands of farmers put their 
lands under mortgage with the Fereral Land Bank. 
Those debts were contracted at a time when 
farmers could plant the limit of money crops. They 
were contracted at a time when market prices for 
farm products were much higher than they are to- 
day.

Dear Sir: oy \ 
I have been reading your Georgia Market Bul- 
letin with much interest for some time, and was 
especially interested in your editorial remarks in the 
issue as of May 27. 
What you say is completely true, and you have 
correctly appraised the disappointment of middle 
west and near-west farmers over the defection of 
some southern senators from the farm bloc. | 
~The solidarity of the farm bloc has been pretty 
much taken for granted, and the farmers of Iowa, 
 
culture 
 
those in the same business in the south with a good 
deal of friendliness and neighborly feeling. We real- 
ize, of course, that a few short-sighted politicians do 
not necessarily represent the farmers of the south. 
But the fact that the farmers of the south have been 
 
the solidity of the farm front to some extent. 
 
Those who have chafed over the political strength 
of the nations farmers will be happy over this schism. 
Its not such a happy occasion for those of us who de- 
pend on the prosperity of the farmers for our own 
living. oe : 
 
We are taking the liberty to reprint part of your 
article, giving you credit, of course.  
Yours truly,

False 
Shortage 
Charged 
 
WASHINGTON, May 28 (AP) 
_ Eltiot E. Simpson, New York 
Independent rubber dealer, told 
a House comittee Thursday that 
a false rubber shortage had 
been created by the giant rub- 
ber monopolies for their own 
post-war protection. 
__ He accused Goodyear Tire and 
_ Rubber Company, United States 
_ Rubber Company, B. F. Good- 
rich, Firestone Tire and Rub- 
 
and Rubber Company of consti- 
tuting an economic octopus 
vhich has a stranglehold on the 
American peoples rubber needs 
and of crushing the life out of 
Six or seven hundred competi- 
; ors. : 
Asserting some officials in 
the government are the unwit- 
ting tools of the giant rubber 
monopolies, Simpson said the 
_farge companies had more busi- 
mess than they could handle 
while. independent competitors 
Fare rapidly going out of busi- 
Bess. 
Simpson told the committee 
_ the large companies have their 
men planted in key government 
positions where they could dic- 
tate rubber policy. 
He put in the record a list of 
approximately 50 names of men 
he said are, or were, connected

Rubbet~| Protests Truck Curtailment In Moving Farm Produc 
 
| director of Defense Transportation: 
 
ber Company, and General Tire | 
 
with the large companies and / 
 
Following is a letter written by Tom Linder to 
 
-May 30, 1942, 
Mr. Joseph B, Eastman 
Director, Office of 
Defense Transportation 
Washington, D. C, 
Dear Mr. Eastman:  
 
This has reference to ODT Orders affecting 
truck transportation. 
 
ODT Order No. 6, Section 501.36 provides ex- 
emptions in certain cases. Sub-Section 501.36. (c) 
provides: 
 
To a vehicle controlled and operated by 
 
-any person or persons principally engaged 
 
in farming when used in the transportation 
 
of agricultural commodities and products 
 
thereof from a farm or farms, or in the trans- 
 
portation of farm supplies to a farm or 
 
farms  ; i 
 
You will note from the above that only those 
trucks operated by persons engaged principally in 
farming are exempt from this order. 
 
Most of our fruit and vegetable crops in Georgia 
are moved by truckers who are in the trucking busi- 
ness only, and who are not engaged in agriculture, ex- 
cept in hauling agricultural products to market. 
 
If you will note ODT Order No. 3, Sub-Section 
501.6 (b), you will see that trucks belonging to com- 
mon carriers are exempt from this return load pro- 
vision. : 
 
It seems only fair, and is absolutely necessary in 
order to prevent the loss of large portions of our 
crops, for all trucks engaged in the hauling of agricul- 
tural products to market to be exempt from this pro- 
vision the same as trucks operated by the common) 
carriers. oo ee 
Sub-Section 501.6 (b) takes cognizance of the 
rfact that a larger volume of freight moves in one di- 
rection than moves in the opposite direction, and this: 
is made the basis for the exemption of trucks belong- 
ing to common carriers. The same reasoning should 
apply to trucks hauling agricultural products to mar- 
ket. 
In the case of Georgia for instance, during the 
months of June and July and to a lesser extent in 
other months, practically the entire movement of 
fruits, vegetables and truck crops is Northward. It 
is only during the late fall, winter and early spring 
months that there is any considerable movement of 
trucks Southward. 
 
It is impossible for the ordinary trucker to get 
a load say from Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, Baltimore or 
any of our main markets for Georgia. 
 
Every trucker is a business man. He has no 
desire to carry an empty truck for several hundred 
 
miles if he had a load that he could carry. It costs) 
 
him money to run an empty truck and he is in busi-. 
ness to make money, but he has no load available on 
 
the return trip. 
If provision were made to exempt trucks haul-

ing agricultural products to market, this would 
lieve the present difficulties to getting our crop 
market, ; 
The very fact that such an order is outstan 
even when its effective date is postponed has a ter 
ribly demoralizing effect on the entire trade, 
one can look forward with any confidence to 
future. And this demoralization imcreases as t 
fective date of these orders approaches. 
 
  
 
If the ODT would provide information bur 
in the centers of commercial activity where a ti 
er, carrying a load could go and be put in touch 
freight moving back in the direction of his | 
 
ward trip, he would be very glad to carry a load 
One trouble with this is that the common arri 
are not willing to divide the freight charges equita| 
with the trucker. It would be necessary for the 
 
to make a fixed scale providing proper loads 
trucks so that they will not be overloaded and 
tires blown out. And, also providing rules for 
division of the freight charges between the com 
carrier and the trucker. oo: 
It might, in many cases, be practical for such 
reaus of information to put the trucker in touch 
a return load where no part haul of a common cal 
would be involved. BA) 
June and July are the months of heaviest m 
ment of vegetables and fruits from Georgia. Iti 
gent that immediate action be taken to prevent 
ther damage and loss to the farmers in this section 
Production of these vital food crops will bi 
tailed in the future unless action is taken at o 
 
It is impossible and useless for farmers t 
duce these food crops unless they can be mov 
consuming centers. : oe 
Your attention to this matter will be appreci 
Sincerely yours, o

P. 8. During five months of last. year one tru 
moved from South Georgia 86,560 bushels of  
tables. Only 16,416 bushels of these vegetables 
consumed in Atlanta, the other 70,000 bushels m: 
to Detroit, Chicago, St. Louis, Cleveland and 
York. Of this 70,000 bushels, 14,000 bushels- 
by rail and 54,000 bushels moved by truck. : 
 
It would be impossible for the bulk of the 
bushels that did move by trucks to have been 1 
by rail for the reason that the trucker goes out 
the rural sections and picks these vegetables up fr 
farm to farm. He pays the farmer for the vegetah 
and then takes a chance on getting his money a 
other end of the line. One 
 
This the common carriers cannot do, and with 
this service of the trucker the farmer cannot aff 
 
to grow them. A
