Fight Looms As REA Group Proposes Board Expansion
Stockholders prepared for a July 29 special meeting in the district courtroom over a proposal to convert Interstate Co operative Electric Power into a state act governed entity. The plan would expand the board from five to nine members to enable long term farmers loans and appliance wiring programs, sparking opposition from Farmer Stockholders association head E N Jones who calls the expansion wholly inexcusable due to cost, clique formation, and efficiency concerns. County stockholders from Pentotac Garvin Hughes Coal and Johnston counties were urged to attend and vote to defend benefits under the new act.

More Appropriated For Farmers But Payments Not Larger
Chicago July 1. Uncle Sam has appropriated 1,194,488,638 to aid farmers yet payments for 1940 under the AAA are not likely to be larger than 1939. Funds marked for spill conservation acreage allotment compliance and parity payments total only 3,100,000 more than 1939. Total appropriation for 1940 benefit payments is 772,600,000 versus 766,500,090 in 1939. Farm leaders say the extra 6,100,000 will be eaten by first quarantine payments by farmers new to the program. Edward A. ONeal of the American Farm Bureau predicts 92 percent of cotton planters, 65 percent of corn growers, and 30 percent of wheat producers will comply in the year. Hope for increased income also hinges on loan features and government disposal of surpluses, with 205,202,900 fund used domestically and abroad. For 1939 available for this purpose was 79,000,000.
