Farm Progress Here and There From Maynard L
Maynard L reports on local farm progress with two notices. A coupon from Anderson SC urges residents to buy stock in a proposed grain elevator, while Decatur already operates two elevators. The second item covers Selma’s pursuit of a regional livestock coliseum, with key figures Haygood Paterson and Captain Tom Reid supporting funding and site deeds. State funds of 40000 and local escrow of 20000 are pledged, with building slated to start next year or escrow funds returned. Trophies will be awarded to county and district winners, including an all-expenses-paid trip to the Farm Bureau convention in 1950.

Cotton Acreage Plan Draws Sharp Farmer Gripes
Price McLemore of Waugh blasts the cotton acreage program calling it a government trap that hurts price protection. He says the plan would cut his cotton to 130 acres from 230 to 300, a 57 percent drop, and admits he has not fully figured it out. Aubrey Williams of The Southern Farmer says the quota plan makes no sense and that Washington may have misled the Farm Bureau while Congress may fix it.
