MB ELL WHAT DO yon know. . . the
President has changed his mind' He
has decided to host a reception at the White
House for the weekly newspaper editors
after refusing to do so last year and
indicating that he did not intend to do so this
year.
Mrs. Rosalynn Carter will be the
hostess.
No doubt the Georgia editors who had
counted on getting inside the White House
will be pleased
■ T IS TO Bf hoped that this portend* a
I change in the Presidential attitude.
Ansone can make a mistake. . but he
doesn't have to keep on making the same
mistake over and over rather than admit he
made one.
At least we will ihalk up one for the
President in the department of Weekly Press
Relations'

Mim prizes and sales money at the
Houston Junior luestock Show Ihis inclu-

champion barrow shown bs Kent Hill of Hart
Ff A this is the third time in four sears the
grand , hampmnship has gone to a Hart I FA
member,
m I MOST F> F mTHING accomplished hi
this world is the result of united rff<>rt
One person, acting alone, can do little But
when working together with others for a
cnmm.m cause, mountain* can he moved.
There is a disadvantage in working with
others A person may find himself blamed
for the action of the group But that is a risk
that must he assumed
V Ilf HI ARE ALW AYS some people who
■ want the best of both worlds They want
the prestige and support of the group. but
thes don't want to assume their pari of the
rcsponsihilits for unpopular group action!
In politics, there arr many pe<*ple who
want to run fur public office on the
Democratic tukrt in arras where Democrats
arc in the majority Thes fear they cannot be
elected as a Republican or as an "Indrn
dent." so thev insist on using the Demo-
cratic label Yet. they feel uncomfortable
when thes are faced with traditional Demo-
cratic principles or the current Democratic
platform
The label “independent Democrat”
sounds good to them It enables them to get
their names listed in the Democratic column
and seek the votes of Democrats in the
primarv and at the same time it enables
them to disclaim any or all of the tenets of
the Democratic party.
UCH A PERSON I* Bob krwegcr. an
''independent'' Democrat whom »c like
a great deal, a man whom we could support
in Nosember should he be the nominee of
the Democratic parts to face John Tower.
Republican, and Hank Grocer, ultra conser-
vative Republican running as an “inde-
pendent,"
There is much about Krueger we like
But Joe C hrtstie appeals to us more.
Christie does not apologize for being a
Democrat
^£ORE THAN ONCE we hasc Insisted
the party is greater than the
F'Rgc*1 man in it. just as a particular church,
if it is worth its salt, is greater than any
personality connected with it If a church
dies because a leader dies, then the church
deserves to die.
So it is with a political party.
The old cliche “it isn't the party, it's the
man" just won't hold water! It's a fallacy.
RISING THE SI MMER of 1976 Demo-
H^crats met first at the grassroots, then at
the state and national levels where delegates
were elected who were to write a platform
and also name candidates for president and
vice president, men who were pledged, if
elected in November, to implement the
platform.
The platform said, among other things:
“Without parits income assurance to
larmers. full production cannot be achieved
in an uncertain economy. Wc must assure
parity returns to farmers based on cost of
production plus a reasonable profit."
POLITICIANS AND other* may qnibble
over the definition of parity despite the
fact that its meaning has long been
established. But parity aside, there can be
no debate over the meaning of “cost of
production plus a reasonable profit."
Mr Carter's staff approved the plat-
form and even had they not. President
Carter was hound to support it.
He indicated every intention of doing
so (The platform preceded the nomination.)
In his hook. "Why Not The Best?" he
said. “I know this nation can develop an
agricultural policy which will Inaorc a fair
profit to our farmer* and a fair price to
consumers." (Emphasis ours).
■ N SPELLING OUT hi* agricultural phU
® osophs. Carter nps the Nixon-Butz
policy, then concludes. ' There is a better
choice " And he states “A Balanced
Democratic Alternative" which-
(.uses farmers and ranchers the chance
to earn a profit.
Gives the voung men and women the
opportumts to bus a farm and make a go of
it
Means that famils farmers and ranchers
will have access to open markets but will not
he bankrupted bs forces thev cannot control
Means they can cover their production
costs and not be bankrupted by abundant
production.
Means more stability in the prices
farmers receive.
Means that the family farmer and
rancher will continue to he the backbone of
our fo.wl and fiber system
'Ihis is the philosophy of Jimmy
Carter." So he wrote
Speaking of incentives. Carter says,
“Our farmers and ranchers do not want a
guaranteed profit They want a level of price
protectn n that will assure them of mt least
their minimum production costs. (Emphasis
ours),
OW If PKOPIF believe that “It Isn't
the party, it’s the nun," then Mr
Carter has the authority to run the country
like he thinks best He receives a mandate
from these people to do w hat HE thinks best,
regardless of what party members said they
wanted when thes wasted their time writing
a platform Frankly, those who supported
Mr Carter for no reason other than they
thought he was a ' better man" than Gerald
Ford, have no ki- k coming if Mr Carter
doesn't please them If it's "the man” that
counts, then we should be willing to trust his
judgment.
Hut tf it's the party, its traditional tenets
and platforms, that counts, if we said what
wc wanted in the platform and nominated an
administrator or a superintendent to carry
out our policies. . and he fails to do so. wc
have every right in the world not only to
complain hut to change administrator* if he
indicates no inclination to do what he was
hired to do!
Ml E THINK IT IS about time for (be
ww Democratic National Committee to
call Mr. Carter tn and find out how he feels
about the agricultural plank of the 1976
national platform.
If he has changed his mind about such
things as “cost of production plus a
reasonable profit." then we need to know of
his change of heart not in the summer of
I MHO when we again meet to select our
leaders for the next four years, but in March
|9’8. when we still have time to find leaders
who ARE commitcd to the farm policies of
the Democratic Party!
It takes time to find and groom a man
who can he elected. It cannot be done
between August and November of election
sear as wc learned in 1952. Wc need to find
out how such men as Governor Brown of
California feel about "cost of production
plus a fair profit." It would take great

Harman Encouraged
After Carter Visit
Otis Harman, president of
Texas Wheat Growers, along
with two other Texans and
officers of the National
Wheat Growers conferred
about 30 minutes Monday
afternoon with President
Carter in the White House.
Only 15 minutes had been
allotted.
Harman reported that the
President was "very recep-
tive" and seemed to indicate
that something would be
done to give immediate relief
for the 1978 wheat crop. It
was Harman's impression
that this would be done by
raising the loan rate to S3
and increasing the target
price in order to encourage
better participation in the
new farm program.
The Tulia farmer said that
Carter showed an amazing
knowledge of the problems
affecting agriculture and that
he wanted suggestions from
the wheat farmers present.
State presidents from the
15 states comprising Na-
tional Wheat Growers were
present in addition to officers
of the national group. Wins-
ton Wilson of Quanah. for-
mer state president, is vice
president of the national. Bill
Nelson, executive vice presi-
dent of the state association,
was also present. Glenn
Moore of Montana is national
president.
Harman was able to dis-
cuss the political implications
of the farm situation with a
Presidential aide. He also
expected to confer with John
White, chairman of the
Democratic National Com-
mittee.
The President invited the
wheat growers to present
their thoughts to Secretary
Bergland.
Harman said he believed
the work of American Agri-
culture in recent weeks had
had a positive influence on
the President.
