WASHINGTON (UP) Resford
Guy Tugwell's most famous brain
child co-operative farming can
stand alone now.
Tugwell, a member of the original
new deal brain trust and under-sec-retary
of agriculture, fathered the
idea of community farming tour
years ago while administrator of the
Resettlement Administration.
Dr. William A. Alexander, a for
mer southern minister, who succeed
ed Tugwell, has become the foster
parent of the growing child. The
only change has been in renaming
Resettlement Administration to Farm
Security Administration.
There are four large co-operative
farms Casa Grande, Ariz.; La
Forge, Mo.; Lake Dick, Ark., and
Irwinville, Ga. ranging from 3,500
to 11,000 acres each and operated
on a community basis under FSA
supervision.
The most socialized and the most
successful of these farms in 1938
was the 4,200-acre tract operated as
the Casa Grande Valley Farms, Inc.,
near Coolidge, Ariz. It provided 60
families with a "fair income" and
may show a slight profit to the gov
ernment. Casa Grande is the prize "guinea
pig" of the ico-operative experiment
in which the FSA expects to inter
est congress to the extent that ap
propriations may be obtained for
scores of other similar enterprises.
The government has invested more
than $500,000 to establish the 60
families, recruited principally from
migratory laborers, in comfortable
modern homes, rent free. The en
tire trace of fertile, irrigated land
in the Gila Valley is community
farmed.
Each family received a guaran
teed income of $50 a month and a
share in any income from the farm
above that amount. If the project
reaches expectations of the FSA each
family ultimately will receive $1,
200 a year, in addition to housing.
The families did not buy anything
when they moved in and will never
own any part of the project. WThen
any disgruntled family leaves an
other takes its place. The project
and all property remain in govern
ment hands.
The corporation must pay the
government one-fourth of the pro
ceeds from the sale of its principal
crops hay, cotton and wheat the
annual amount to be not less than
$8,300 nor more than $22,847. The
latter would mean a 3 per cent in
terest on the development.
From the cash income each fam
ily buys its needs from the commun
ity commissary at wholesale prices.
Each family has a one-acre plot for a
garden. The government decides
what is to be planted and In what
quantity.
The FSA dismissed R. A. Faul as
manager last December, charging he
was "dictatorial" in his manage
ment. Faul charged that the entire
setup was communistic.
"From my knowledge of the So
viet economic setup, I would say
about the only difference between
this co-operative farm plan and that
operated in Russia is that the gov
ernment is paid its share of the gross
Income in cash instead of kind," Faul
said.
The 60 houses are built about a
community store, school and com
munity center. It is a town witnout
a name, a policeman or a bachelor.
It has only two "ordinances" no
drunken rowdiness and clothes lines
must run north and south.

LINCOLN, Feb. 4 (UP) The as
sistance troubles bobbed up again
today with the prospect that they
will be placed in the legislature's lap
for solution soon.
The problems were aired at a con
ference attended by Chairman Frank
Brady and Carl Peterson of the legis
lature's appropriation committee,
State Assistance Director Neil Van
demoer and C. W. Eubank of the
board of control, which administers
the state assistance program.
This is the priucipal problem: The
assistance office under its $7,500,000
appropriation for the present bien
nium does not have sufficient funds
to carry the program through to July
1 unless drastic cuts are made in as
sistance drafts beginning in March
or April. However, assistance rev
enues apparently may bring in
r.bout $250,000 more than the $7,-500,000.
By PAUL SCHEFFELS
NEW YORK (UP) Almost as
regularly as the little hand follows
the big one around the clock, an
anxious band of baseball rookies,
their palms sweating and their faces
twitching, report 'to major league
fpring-training camps for their try
at the gold and glory of the Big
Time and this year's no exception.
Nobody has to tell a big league
manager that his club, no matter
how powerful, can last forever. Its
stars, one and all, fade just as surely
as a pair of socks. But this year, the
two big leagues have more than Just
the usual rebuilding motive.
The rest of the American League.
in trying out an enormous crop of
freshmen, is trying to build up to
the New York Yankees' great club
while the National League la des
perately ransacking the minors and
the sandlots in an attempt to create
a team potent enougn to mane mo
World Series look like a contest in
stead of just a workout for the Am
erican League champions.
Many to Be Disappointed
The greater part of the 1959
bunch of young hopefuls will get
just a quick "look-see," depending
more or less on their club's indi
vidual needs. Another group, pro
jected into the limelight by the big
prices paid for the right to their
services and by sensational minor
league records, will be given every
possible chance to succeed.
The newcomer most squarely in
the public eye. of course, is Freddy
Hutchinson, the $100,000 pitching
beauty bought by the Detroit Tigers
from the Seattle club of the Pacific
Coast League. He's had only one
full year of professional baseball ex
perience but already is listed as part
of the Tigers' "Big Three." Per
haps Detroit's need of pitching
ptrength led to this departure or
perhaps the idea that the kid might
be another box-office wonder like the
Indians' Bobby Feller.
The Yankees, already the best
team in baseball, have come up with
a most discouraging, at least to the
rest of the league, list of important
newcomers.
Charley Keller and Joe Gallagher
from Newark and Kansas City, rt
spectively, are two red-hot outfieldera
whose 'batting strength make them
apparent sure-fire clicks, worthy
enough to rank with Joe DiMaggio
and Tommy Henrich. Pitcher Jack
Haley, the coal miner from Newark
and catcher Buddy Rosar, who ia
ranked right behind Bill Dickey and
Arndt Jorgens, are two more of their
brighter prospects.
