In Support of
Production Cutback
The production cutback is
more, or less a spontaneous
idea. It has started in a
number of areas, but seems
most organized in the area
centered around Illinois. I
saw an article in PRARIE
FARMER written by H.
Wayne Barnett, Rural Route
1, Shipman, 111 62683 Phone
618-729-3278 and called him.
He sent me their program,
which consists very nearly of
the same things I say below.
He has been quite active in
getting the thing organized
in the Middle West, from
Ohio to Nebraska and from
Minnesota to Missouri.
There are no dues or

payments asked from
anyone; just a committment
to, reduce average by
whatever you feel you can.
They recommend 10 percent
of average ground; I feel
that 20 percent of a farmers
poorest ground will ac
complish the same thing
without costing him as
much.
Here is what is being
recommended: (1) Plant the
poorest 20 percent of your
land to hay, pasture, or
green manure; (2) Test your
ground. Satisfy lime
requirements first, then
apply fertilizer until return
per dollar spent begins to
dimmish; (3) Stretch your
old machinery through

another year. This will make
industry realize the value of
your business and also keep
you in a better financial
position if the economy
falters; (4) Use the ad
ditional time you’ll have to
take better care of your crop
and to keep that old
machinery running; (5)
Encourage your farmer
friends to join you in the
production cut. Because
there is no one publicising
this, you don’t hear of those
who are doing it. It is being
done!; (6) Write to your
newspapers and farm
magazines, promoting this
idea. We need all th6'
publicity we can get Each
farmer needs to know he is
not alone; (7) Stick to your
committment, even when the
governments tempts you to
change your mind.
We need to get the law of
supply and demand working

PSU Poultry Course Set
A poultry sales and service
conference will be held next
Tuesday and Wednesday at
Penn State University,
University Park.
Jay Irwin, associate
county agent in Lancaster,
recommends the course as
again. Let’s show the world
just who is in control of
farming. We have to one
product people just MUST
have on a daily basis. Let’s
not give it away below cost.
To help feed the world, first,
we have to stay in business.
Our demands are most
reasonable and justifiable,
but let’s bargain from a
position of strength. Far
mers have been used and
lied too for far too long. Lets’
do it!
