For eight long years our forefathers fought so that we might enjoy thj benefits of Liberty and Freedom.

Generation after generation this was handed on down to us. Now we are at the crossroads, shall we continue to build up centralized control by accepting subsidies and soil conservation checks or will we ask for the repeal of this un-American program? If we hope to work In unison on the home front, with our boys that ace fighting to save democracy then the agriculture adjustment act must be repealed. As to those who believe we must have soil conservation, If this we must have. Then it should become mandatory by aiff act of Congress, that every cooperator of the soil conservation act, whenever he signs up for such a program he must sign a note for the amount of such conservation check, payable to our government.

C. UP) A bargain counter rush of farmers to buy government wheat for live stock feeding promises to exhaust the supplies available for this pur pose next month and agriculture department officials said Sunday that congress soon may be asked to authorize additional sales. In some areas, the government's wheat price has been as much as 20 cents a bushel below the mar1 ket price of corn. Much Already Sold. The government has upwards of 500 million bushels of wheat, in cluding grain under grower loans, but under a limitation imposed by congress last year it may sell not more than 125 million bushels for feed at feed-grain prices during the fiscal year ending June 30.

Already, 80 million bushels have been sold. Unaffected by this limitation is the government's program of selling mill wheat to millers at parity prices under a program by which it hopes to keep flour and bread prices from advancing above present levels. Feed Is Needed. Some farm state congressmen opposed the sale of wheat for feed because they objected to the idea of making wheat, basically a bread grain, a feed grain and because they opposed sales of the com modity at prices below parity. But agriculture department officials hold that the success of the war food program depends largely on the ability of farmers to get ample supplies of feed at reasonable prices.

Wheat of low quality is being sold for feed at prices equivalent to 85 percent of the parity price of corn, the basic livestock feed. Farmers are not inclined to feed wheat unless it is as cheap as corn. The government thought it wise to offer wheat for feed be cause supplies were large and because feed was needed by livestock producers in areas where corn supplies were short. 22 in Hopedale Evening School HOPEDALE.

They recognized that rationing of machinery and equipment is a necessity but reported that since 55 percent of all dairy production comes from small herds it appears that the greatest opportunity to boost dairy production is in the smaller herds. The resolutions pledged the cairymen to continue to seek reorganization of milk routes to save and tires- and to continue to seek full production to supply the wartime demand. These resolutions were presented by Dwight Heminover, Grant Kinsey, Ross Wills, John Schleet-er and Alvin Otto. Officers Re-Elected. William Mays was re-elected president; George Pitts, vice president; Elmer Orendorf, secretary, and Frank Mason, treasurer.

H. M. Norris was elected to the board to succeed Archie Blakeley, resigned. Other members of the board are Roy Gilmore, Louis Schultz, Clarence Ropp and Mr. Heminover.

Immediately after the annual meeting the board planned to attend a legislative conference of Illinois co-operative dairy interests to be held Wednesday in Chicago, to shape up plans for a Washington campaign in opposition to milk subsidies and in favor of full parity value for milk. 1943 Goals Achieved.

Editor. 120 Farmers Attend Class At Normal Over 120 adult farmers and interested town people attended the poultry, dairy and swine schools last week at Normal Community high school, and many more expected there this week.

Swine school, 7:30, "How May We Reduce Marketing Losses?" Thursday night's dairy school is scheduled to discuss "Best Methods for Rearing Dairy Calves."

Fuller Calls Tenant Meeting The 16th annual meeting of tenants and owners in the Fuller Farm Management service will be opened at 10 a. m.

Wednesday in the Farm bureau building, F. E. Fuller announced on Saturday. A potluck dinner will be served at noon. Dr.

Paul E. Johnston, farm management specialist at the University of Illinois, will be the afternoon speaker, to discuss labor efficiency on the farm. Labor and machinery needs will be reviewed, production plans considered. Mr. Fuller also reported concern over the supply of red clover seed, advising farmers to get their seed supplies early.

The germination of soybean seed is a nroblem, he finds. Even some samples of soybeans harvested before the frost last fall have failed to eer minate well. Also, for the northern half of Illinois, germination oi nyona seed corn may be below normal. A Nation like an Individual, has soul, no nation can survive which not only neglects but actually defies God's divine laws righteousness, tfuth, justice, freedom, and mercy. Peace, prosperity and the pursuit of happiness will be our heritage in the same proportion as our Nation rededicates itself to these high principles of life.

For these higher principles our forebears gave themselves. It Is the consensus of opinion among farmers that a floor should be put under the price of corn at $1.00 per bushel, they contend that if Congress believes it was a usurpation of power on the part of our President to ask for $25,000 limitation toi be put on salaries, then also it is a usurpation of power to freeze a ceiling price on corn so farmers cannot afford to hire help to grow corn. For ten long years we have had crop control, they tried to make farmers believe we produced too much of food and fiber, farmers were asked to destroy food and fiber, our Lord'ftQ gift to mankind, without sunshine and rainfall the people would starve. As we drive along the highways we see thousands of acres of corn and beans that are unharvested. Some try to place the blame for this to the lack of equipment and labor.

If it Is because of this shortage of labor then the planners that are greedy for control, better think of an unbalanced economy thatp will mean hungry people unless it is corrected. To destroy foodJ and fiber is the deepest of sins, and we have a right to another line of thought, crops still may be iri the fields yet because of God's retribution to man, for putting the gifts of God secondary to the handiwork of man. Any nation that will try to win a war by might without righteousness Is a cheap Victory. I Unless America repents and turns to God she will eternally perish. Wanted A.

A. A. Committeemen to organize for the United Farmers of Illinois. To get members in a farm organization that will challenge Wickard or any farm organization to find fault, or debate with us to prove that our program is unsound, fs To the A. A.

A. Committeemen I wish to say If you are sincere In wanting to solve the farm problem or better the condition of Agriculture so that the farmer can face the post war period without fear. Then you will go out and organize for the United Farmers of Illinois, and work for a floor under prices at a cost plus a reasonable return for labor price level. This wouldO conform with the principles of a Christian loving people. Since the beginning of the A.

A. A. program farmers received around 60 of parity the first years of the program, and today the celling price of corn is frozen at about 00 of parity. Who got the difference between these price levels, and 100 parity? Not the farmers, No. This program can hardly be thought of being In harmony with the principles of a Christian minded people.

No good Christian will knowingly beat his fellowman out of what rightfully belongs to him. Then why don't we put a stop to the expediters of the controlled production of food program. Unless America will recog-O nize, to put the producers of food on an equality basis with the workers that manufacturers tools to destroy life. Then America will go hungry. Farmers the Immortality of our boys who died In far off lands, to save democracy is calling.

The -rights of which boast cannot be kept without obligations, and each generation has to earn them for itself. Let's not give away these rights for subsidy or soil conservation payments. Neither can the farmer afford to be bribed by incentive payments of money our children will have to pay in taxes. Give farmers their freedom, do away with control on price and production and the food production goals will be met. Farmers join the United Farmers of IllinolsA at $12.00 per year and be In harmony with a program that would keep our boys well fed, also with what they are fighting for.
