US Senate Office Building, Dear Harry: discouraged and frightened.hey are holding on to their cattle Farmers are the production of cattle arogs. This situation is serious. and Supplementing mytter recently about the farm situation especially next to get their moneut of them and npne of them to take selling an especially effort cattle to bring m up to the best weights possible before and hogs, and in 1944 year and this is going mean a terrible reduction in plan cattle and hogs the risk during and 1945. hog and situation and the lack confidence in OPA among the farmers, they are scared and With all the units and turmoil and unrelaible status of the cattle they are not as strong the President as at one time; an unbelievable number of them are lost to him. en they get their cattle and hogs down to a small base they will not re-build and oduce next year. You better believe me. With hog feed coing three to four cents per pound and with only one to two pounds put on ea hog per day, there is little consolation in the maximum of $14.75; they can make money, and especially with allowances for loss in hogs due to disease and ath. Figure it out for yourself. With corn as high as it is, Rye $1.35 and Oat:around $1.00 per bushel farmers can't make money with a ceiling of $14.75, bLieve me. Farmers can't make money with cattle at its low level. The celing on has should be not less than $15.25 and the floor should be not lower than $14.25. here should be a ceiling on all grades of live stock of the cattle type and that should be at least one to one and half cents higher than the market today and the floor should be one to one and half cents below that. Nothing less than this will pacify the farmers and nothing less than this will enable us to provide the nati on with meats next year and the next. Better have enough to eat, even if the price of foods must go higher; better pay a little more than to have people hungry and people can do without and will do without most any other class of food; take their meat away from them and that is somthing else. So, if necessary to control the situation and at the same time be assured of meats, the government should purchase all hogs and cattle for slaughter at a fixed ceiling and a fixed floor price, even if the government must in turn sell to the packer and processor for less. This live stock production is serious. The lack of farm labor contributes to that production and so does the lack of farm machinery and all of this is in addition to the cost of feed. Better do somthing about this soon and in a definite way. Sincerely yours, C. D. Hicks. August 18, 1943 PPF qiH 064 Memorandum for Honorable George T.

Dear Mr. Early: Ben Franklin, the California artist, is putting finishing touches on an unusual painting of a tuna fishing clipper fighting its way back to port through a heavy storm. From what I have seen at the White House xppt and from what we all know of the president's interest in q-P such things, I believe it would give the president at least some momentary pleasure to see this picture.

Turning directly to Mr. Hoo- ham Hotel, ver's suggestion that the Jewish refugees go to Central Africa, Judge Levinthal continued: "To re. be sure, the hapless Jewish vic- tims of Nazi territory will be grateful for any temporary haven, but Mr. Hoover understands that we have to plan for the future and not deal with palliatives, if we wish to assure a stable solu- tion. Palestine offers such sta- bility and permanent solution to the problem of Jewish homeless- ver ness, and at the same time, is more immediately accessible to the immigrants from Europe than are the suggested undeveloped areas in Africa. Of course, Mr. Hoover is quite right in saying that men, women and children cannot be 'dumped into new lands.' It is more reasonable and V just to send Jewish refugees to a land where they will be welcomed by their brethren, where the eco- nomie machinery has been pre- pared for the absorption of addi- tional population, where the Jews will be able to live free, normal lives-than to send them to any of those African areas of which Mr. Hoover speaks and where there are no prepared facilities, no friendly population, no histo- ric attachment on the basis of which Jews might call such areas 'home'. It is preposterous to Large item - scanned in parts state, as Mr. Hoover did, that 'an area in Africa could be considered sentimentally an annex to Pales- tine'." I say it was important to answer Mr. Hoover, not only be- cause it is important to change his mind on the 'home'.

Roosevelt, EL A e Executive Mansion, 10% Washington, D.C. as E is Swisshome, Ore. Nov., 27, 1943. Hon. Franklin D. Roosevelt, Executive Mansion, Washington, D.C. fele Dear Mr. President: This letter is written by a backwoods farmer without benefit of ghost writers, reference libraries, advisory boards or secretaries. According to my recollection several years ago a New Deal Congress, at your instigation, enacted into statute a bill which provided for the levying of a processing tax for the purpose of raising funds in order to bribe the farmers not to work. Under the provisions of this legislative masterpiece farmers were paid to let their corn and cotton land lie idle, and for reducing their cattle herds and other livestock. In conformity to this unusual theory of economic scarcity, but relying upon the infallibility of your administration and its multitude of experts, the undersigned went into the "not raising" hog business. Unfortunately however I picked the wrong breed of hogs Wnot to raise", wrong to this extent, they grew too fast. In strict adherence to the "not raising" hog business, one should of course "raise" only runts. So I did not make any money, not only because I picked the wrong breed of hogs "not to raise", but I failed to "not raise" them insufficient numbers to make it profitable. Now your experts have gotten me into another dilemma. A few months ago these same experts, who formerly paid us 'not to raise" hogs, made frantic patriotic appeals for more pork. So I again went into the hog business, only this time I intended to raise all I could instead of "not raising" them. At the present time I have thirty-four hogs on hand. Grain is SO expensive that I can no longer afford to feed them. Neither can I let them starve. I cannot eat thirty-four hogs myself. I cannot sell them to the packing houses because they are already full and the meat tickets of the economic royalists are insufficient to consume the meat as fast as it is produced and killed. I cannot sell them to private consumers who are crying for meat, because that would be in violation of bureaucratic directives exemplefying the omniscient judgment of the O.P.A. So the only manner in which I can legally dispose of them is to give them away. Having done so much for the farmer I think there should be some reciprocation. Now that I have something to give away I want you to have the honor of receiving the first. I am therefore sending you one nice pig, express prepaid. No doubt Vice-President Wallace and Secretary Jones will be glad to butcher this pig for you, unless you think it inadvisable to trust them together with knives. The pig should reach you in time for your Christmas dinner, unless the date for observing peace on earth good will toward men, is changed by executive proclamation.
