Hartington, Nebr., April 27, 1949.

Suite 1036-38, 176 West Adams Street, Chicago: 

 Directors Nebraska Feeders association voted unanimously against any Govern- 

 ment program for control of prices or production of meat.

Dear Mark: My ancestors came to America in 1620 abroad the Mayflower. 

 They were the famous John and Priscilla. I don't know if that makes a person 

 any better than the ones coming now or not. But I do know they came tiere to 

 be free from oppression, from government and church. They and the others 

 who came really made a wonderful country for us and now we should see to it 

 that communistic and socialistic ideas are not allowed to destroy free enterprise. 

 The Corn Belt livestock feeders should fight this idea of Mr. Brannan's to the 

 last ditch. I am quite sure you will have nearly 100 percent cooperation from 

 the members. 



Yours truly, 



Ed. Hollenbeck. 



Teeds Grove, Iowa, March 17, 1949. 

 Dear Mr. Pickell: Just a few lines to let you know we here in Clinton 

 County are very much opposed to Brannan's program. We are with you in 

 W'hat can be done to defeat it. 

 Sincerely, 



Will H. Jargo, 

 President, Clinton County Cattle Feeders Association. 



Harmon, III., April 14, 1949. 

 Mr. C. B. Watson, 



De Kalb, III. 

 Dear Mr. Watson: The ballot you sent is enclosed and marked in opposition 

 to the Brannan proposal. 



Three things, or stop signs, stick out ihhis new program: 



1. Lower farm prices. 



2. Taxation. 



3. Rigid control of farm products and land use. Naturally, along with this 

 goes the control of our way of life. 



My answer to this attempt is no farm program at all rather than accept infringe- 

 ment of this kind. 



With kindest personal regards, I remain. 

 Yours sincerely, 



Hugh J. Hermes. 



I have always been opposed to the Government trying to control prices and 

 production, as it just won't work. 



We now have 230 head of cattle on feed, but when they are gone will quit if 

 the Government still wants to try to tell as what we can do. 



1,800 points would sure slow down things around here, as lots of my neighbors 

 would have to cut awav down to complv. 



We raised about 30,000 bushels of corn last year, to say nothing about all 

 the livestock that we produced to help feed the world. 



H. Glenn Sperry, 



Macomb, III. 



P. S.— Keep fighting them.
