Dechant Calls For Political
Parties To Work For Farmers
The President of the Notional
Farmers Union last week called
foi “some real competition” be
tween the two major political
parties on doing something for
the American farmer.
Tony T. Dechant of Denver,
Colorado, told the Republican
Platform Committee: “Too many
farmers feel let down by both
political parties. Unfortunately
both parties have carried party
platforms which have been fill
ed with platitudes saving that
they are going to aid the family
farmer. We hope that this year
this Platform Committee will
write some meaningful planks
which will spell out a positive
program on what this Nation
should do to end the long
drought in the farm economy
which has brought millions of
proud farm families to their
knees.”
Dechant said that doing some
thing meant taking action that
could be “translated into in
creased net income.”
Dechant said farm programs
should become the base on which
to build. “It is ridiculous to op
pose an extension of the 1965
Farm Act on the grounds that a
new Administration should not
have its hands tied on the farm
income front... The challenge
of the new Administration, fol
lowing the November elections,
is to use the base for coming to
grips with moving agriculture
up to a par with other segments
of our economy. The fact is that
agriculture has never shared in
the general prosperity of this
Nation.”
The issue is not confined to
rural America, Dechant assert
ed. “Today our leaders are try
ing to solve the city problems,”
he said. “They will not find the
solution in the cities alone...
Over 15 million people from the
farms and from rural communi

ties have moved into the cities
since the early 1950’s to com
pete for jobs and the inadequate
facilities. Unless the rural prob
lems are handled, millions more
will stream to the cities making
the solution impossible.”
Dechant reminded the Repub
licans that it was Abraham Lin
coln who had reinforced Ameri
ca’s base of the independent
farm family when during his
Administration the Republicans
passed the Homestead Act. And
like today, during the Civil War
there was great turbulence in
the cities when more than 1200
were killed in riots. “At that
time,” Dechant said, “it was the
Irish and other nationalities who
did not have a stake in the sys
tem, and were rebelling against
the draft and the system.”
Dechant quoted another Re
publican, Theodore Roosevelt,
who defended the Homestead
Act and the 160-acre limitation
for benefits under the Reclama
tion Law of 1902; ‘lt is because
I am against revolution; it is be
cause I am against the doctrines
of the extremists, of the Social
ists; it is because I wish to see
this country of ours continued
as a genuine democracy; it is
because I wish to secure for our
children and our grandchildren
and for their children’s children
the same fieedom of opportun
ity, the same peace and order
and justice that we have had in
the past.’
Deehant told the Republican
Platform Committee: “Instead of
pious platitudes on preserving
and improving the family farm
concept, we need bold, daring
and positive action.”
He referred to a five-page
comprehensive statement which
he submitted, emphasizing the
need for action in seven basic
areas:
(1) Farm income must be in
creased to 100 percent of parity.

Most Plonts Need
Frequent Watering
Water (lowers, vegetables and
ornamental plants frequently
during dry summer weather,
says Robert F. Stevens, exten
sion horticulturist at the Univer
sity of Delaware.
Most plants need about one
inch of water a week to main
tain satisfactory growth, he ex
plains. And newly planted trees
and shrubs may require as much
as two inches a week.
During a normal summer,
rainfall may provide up to half
cf the plant water requirements.
But during extended dry spells,
iirigation may be necessary to
supply needed water.
Many lawn and garden sprink
lers deliver water faster than it
can be absorbed by heavier
soils, says Stevens In these
cases, it’s best to run the sprink
ler until puddles form or until
run-off begins. Then shut off the
sprinkler and resume wateiing
after the puddles have been ab
soibed into the soil.
In watering trees and shrubs,
let the hose run slowly into a
saucer shaped depression around
the plant for several hours
Most lawn sprinklers deliver
water at rates ranging from one
inch every two hours to one inch
every ten hours, he adds. Rate
of delivery information is usual
ly provided with the sprinkler.
(2) Rural America must be
piotected from the invasion of
corporate agriculture.
(3) Adequate credit, both
short and long term, must be
provided
(4) Programs that balance
production with market require
ments must he improved.
(5) Farm bargaining power
must be strengthened.
(6) The farm program budget
of the U.S. Department of Ag
riculture must be increased, and
natural resources must be pro
tected.
(7) Farmer-owned coopera
tives must be strengthened.
