FRIDAY, MARCH ff, BLYTHBVILLE (ARK.) COURIER NEWS Cotton Council Official Urges 'Farmers, Merchants to Unite Against 'Welfare Programs' WtALM BEACH, Mar. and professional men and farmers must unite their forces If they are to prevent the enactment of new government programs which would cost the taxpayer additional annually, Wm am Rhea Blake, executive vice- president of the National Cotton Council, told the American cotton Institute In session here today. The cotton organization head 'the manufacturers thai failure to halt the large-scale addition ot "so- called welfare programs," would result In the Increase of federal expenditures to a new high of 155,009,000.000 a year. "That means," he asserted, "on the basis of our present national income, 30 per cent of all the earnings of the American people'would be the tax take required to support the federal government alone. This, added to the amount of already levied for the support of state, county and municipal governments, make the annual tax obligation of the American people more than 40 cents out of every dollar, they earn.

We cannot pay such taxes and maintain economic freedom of the individual citizen." Approved Brannan Plan Among: to which Mr. Blake voiced opposition are the Brannan farm 'plan, federal health insurance, FEPO. socialized housing, and, other "must legislative proposals on the administration agen- out that In.addition to Imposing a conliscatory tax burden of the American people, the various "welfare" programs represent long steps toward socialism in the Tlnlt- States.

Walnut Phone 2381 Blytheville campaign to sell the average American voter on the idea that it is to his advantage for the federal government to undertake all of these that their apparent innocence and humanitarian appeal will lead us straight into socialism and the destruction of the American economic and governmental system," Mr. Blake continued. These groups fall into four classifications Communists, the "Do-Gooders," and Big Labor and big governmnet.

Serious as is the threat of the Communists and the "Do-Gooders" who mistakenly fall in line with Communkt ideas, the major forces pushing 'oward socialism were cited by the speaker as big labor and big government. The ability which labor and government have demonstrated to put over their program Is based wholly on "the tremendous nnd successful effort they have made to Influence public opinion," Mr. Bjake declared. Vrgn More Attention Labor, with vast funds assembled through compulsory dues levied on 15.000.COO union members, and government, with even greater funds available from the public treasury, have conducted the most far-reaching and all-inclusive public relations programs to which the American people have ever been exnosed, the Cotton Council official stated. On Ihe other hand, Mr.

Blake said that business people engaged in Industry and commerce and the particularly there engaged in agriculture, have not paid nearly enough attention to public opinion Insofar as "the preservation of our American system Is concerned." Nevertheless, the cotton leader expressed confidence In the ability of business men, professional workers and farmers to reverse the trend set In motion by big government and big labor. Those who oppose the replacement of the American free enterprise system with socialism must concentrate, he said, on'making every In dividual; citizen: understand "what the American system is doing for him, what socialism will do to him, and what each of these tempting programs that Is being dangled In front of him will really do In destroying the American system and taking him Into socialism." Mr. Blake said that there are a great many people who' feel' that a "right-wing" political action committee should be formed to give the same sort of support to issues and candidates in favor of the American system that the political action organizations of the AFL and CIO are giving to the opposition. Stresses Action "I am not sure that this Is not the right answer.for the run," he said.

"Wo are convinced that for the anyway, the job we arc talking about must he done, by the existing organizations that are now- serving the business, professional, and agricultural groups of this country," he declared. He stressed the necessity for action by as well as groups, staling that thousli existing farm orgat)j2ations and trade associations can supply most of the planning, research and sales materials, their stuffs are not adequate to do more. The sales force, he said, must conic from the organizations' members. The combination of farm, business' and professional organiznllons and their individual members will constitute a force, he believed, which will halt and reverse socialistic trends in the United States.

One of the problems encountered in determining potassium needs of Arkansas soils is that the rapid soil tests commonly used for determining potassium may not accurately indicate the amount of potassium actually available for crop use. Dr. Bencher pointed but.

Part of the new research will be concerned with' developing a rnnfd soil testinc procedure which will Indi- cafe the actual potassium fertility status of the soil. Jn another nlitisc of the study, field work will be conducted to determine the Influence of varying amounts and ine- Ithocls of application of potash fertilizer upon the yields of pasture and forage crops.
