Pemiscot Farmer Says Farm Bureau Officials Not Behind Agrarians J. I. Burlison, Temlscot County farmer, says that the recent statement made by Emmett Slusher, MFBF head, that majority of farmers favor variable farm price is a clear indication that Mr. Slusher is taking his orders from Washington rather than from Missouri farmers. Mr.

Slusher is either uninformed or is deliberately misrepresenting the true thinking of Missouri says Burlison. He goes on to say that activities indicate that he is desperately trying to follow the lead of Allan Kline, national Farm Bureau head, in an all-out effort to bring about cheaper prices for farm commodities. Burlison is a member of Pemiscot County Farm Resolutions Committee and was present at the state meeting last fall when a vote was taken on the price support issue. Out of 490 voting delegates attending the meeting, 216 voted for the sliding scale scheme. A large number of the delegates refrained from vot- REX TH EATRE Continuous From 7 P.M.

However, the Missouri Farm Bureau News states, erroneously, that a majority voted for what Slusher calls price can call the schemes variable, sliding scale, or says Burlison, all mean the same lower price to the farmer Burlison has attempted on several occasions to get the state Farm Bureau news organ to carry both sides of the price support question. However, Slusher has refused to print anything other than articles advocating the lower price supports. It is obvious, according to Burlison, that Slusher and other high Farm Bureau officials are using biased and misleading information in an effort to convince the general public that present farm price programs are evil and that lower farm support prices would bring about better living conditions for both rural and urban citizens. On several occasions Slusher has called farm price support programs saying farmers are going to sin a little bit they might as w'ell sin a whole Both Slusher and Kline have failed to point out, however, that under the sliding scale scheme only the price farmers receive is reduced.

All farm production costs remain the same which would have the effect of reducing the net income up to 50 per- LAST TIMES TONIGHT vr rr COUNT THE HOURS! Starring TERESA WRIGHT and Mae DONALD CARET PLUS laXUMMA JOHN DEREK According to Burlison, downright ridiculous to blame present surpluses and high consumer costs on 90 per cent of parity support As he points out, had the same sort of farm commodity build up in the early when we had no supports at all. And the pro ent heavy supply of some commodities is due to the lack of production controls, and not the support He says a reduction in support prices actually encourage farmers to produce more of commodities already in heavy supply, as increased production is the only way of offsetting lower farm prices, which would be the result of the sliding scale price support Burlison also points out that the price of farm commodities has little or no bearing on the price the consumer pays. In the case of cotton shirt, a 15 percent reduction in the cost of the raw cotton would only reduce the price to the consumer around 4c a shirt. A similar reduction in wheat prices would reduce the cost of a loaf of bread less than .4 of one cent. It is time to take farm programs out of politics, Burlison contends, and place them in the hands of farmers.

And, apparently, it is going to be necessary for farmers themselves to bring their farm organization leaders into line with farmer thinking. Burlison contends that all issues should be considered from all angles and that biased and mis- I MALONE Daily From 2:00 P.
