...anti-Hutterite position for a visitor last week. "I'm not opposed to them as people," he said. "But their people work without pay, and the land is in the hands of the church. The people are nothing more or less than a Communist setup. The children grow up without anything but a communal attitude. It isn't the American way, certainly. They take over large areas. It's equivalent to what happens in the city when Negroes move into a neighborhood. Others move out and the prices drop. Of course they're less prone...

To continue getting supports at 90%, cotton farmers last year voted to reduce their acreage by 12% and to market no more cotton than they could grow on the reduced acreage. But then they called on every new device of technology to raise yields per acre 22%, and wound up with a total cotton crop 7% larger than the year before...
