A6 = DEFENDS $350.000 Trying Hard to Keep Cool — It’s Easier If You Follow the Health Rules CHECKFROMAAA. Head of Mississippi Corpo- ration Terms $886,254 Profit Possible. B7 the Associated Press. A letter defending the payment of & $350,000 farm-benefit check to & large Southern farm corporation said yesterday that the firm might have made $500,000 more if it had not cut acreage in the crop-reduction pro- gram. The letter was made public by Farm Administration officials. It was written by Oscar Johnston, former assistant A. A. A. administrator and president of the Delta Pine & Land Co. of Mississippi. Senator Van- denberg, Republican, of Michigan, a critic of A. A. A. payments, had asked for details of these payments. The letter was forwarded to Van- denberg. Got $363,002.57 in Four Years. Johnston said his corporattion re- eeived $363,00257 in farm-benefit payments during the last four years. He said that if the corporation had refrained from participating in acre- age-reduction programs it would have realized $886,254.18 “from these lands taken out of production had those lands been planted.” He said the corporation actually “made no sacrifice” because ‘co- operation of both large and smalil pro- ducers was essential” in farm pro- grams that restored ‘prosperity to the Nation.” The corporation was chartered un- der Mississippi State laws in 1886, and Johnston said it had operated its present large holdings since 1811, providing “homes and employment for more than 1,000 families.” Willing to Cease Participation. “We are willing,” Johnston said, “to be excused from further partici= pation therein (in farm-reduction programs) and to leave the burden in- cident to reduction of the existing surplus of cotton upon the shoulders of small producers, but in so doing we point out that in our judgment euch a course would be grossly un- fair to the small producers.” He said “credit lines extended ten- ents have been more than doubled, day wages have been doubled and compensation of officers and employes increased 20 to 25 per cent. “There are more tenant families farming today upon the properties of this company, with the cotton acre- age reduced by 25 per cent from the wnormal acreage, than were upon the | properties in 1931, 1932 and 1933 prior to inauguration of the pro. grams” he added.
