Point Well Taken

The following article in the Indian napolis News on Monday, August 19, appeared under the title, “Some Big Farmers Are Best Moochers.” It was written by Mike Royko of the Chicago Daily News Service. We . believO his point is well taken and provides a message for us as taxpayers in the United States. In this bread basket of America, we know it makes the farmer ill to read about these moochers, especially when farm prices continue to be down. Th© article z Like most taxpayers, I’m sick of lazy people who draw fat checks for doing nothing. Why should we subsidize their sloth?’ Why should we pay for their babies? . A . Why should we pick up the tab for their expensive liquor, their color TV sets, their rich foods, their Cadillacs? . Should the dole become away of life? You know who I am talking about. Let us be frank about it, I am talking about the biggest mooch of them all — the American farmer in the South and Southwest part of the country. Never have so many done so little sot so much. There’s one farm outfit in California — the J. G. Boswell Co. — that must be the national champion at getting something for nothing. Last year the Federal government paid it $4,091,000 for not disturbing the worms. It is one of five farm operations that received a million or more for letting the land just sit there. And there are thousands of farmers who drew a more modest sum — anywhere from $50,000 to $999,999—f0r being decent enough not to grow things. About 90 per cent of them are in

the South and Southwest—that stronghold of state’s rights and to hell with Federal government interference. They don’t take shots at the U.S. postman when he brings that fat monthly check. Mississippi is one of the leaders of the farm dole, with 370 farms there getting between $50,000 and $500,000. In all, they got just under $3 million last year. When 370 big farms and plantations shut down or cut back, it figures that some field hands are going to be out of work. That’s one of the reasons there are 92,000 people, most of them kids, on aid to dependent children in» Mississippi. But there’s a slight difference m Mississippi between what they pay ADC people and what the nonworking farmers get The 370 farms on the dole got an average of SBO,OOO a year. The average ADC kid got $9 a month. As you can see, it cost a lot more to feed a white farmer than a black kid. They get the big money because Mississippi’s farms overproduce. That’s why we have so many kids in Mississippi suffering from malnutrition and other ailments brought about by not eating enough — overproduction of food. One of Mississippi’s non-farming farmers is Sen. James Eastland. He’s a typical Southern politician who likes to yell about relief costs. » He wasn’t yelling last year, though, when he cashed $167,000 in Federal farm payoffs. He was saving his voice so he could argue against bills that would have put a $20,000 ceiling on what any one farm could get. Heck, $20,000 hardly buys a good chaw. Right up there with Mississippi are Arizona, California, Louisiana, Texas and others from that neighborhood. — Delphi Journal Citizen.
