Oat of the moat striking thoughts a the lust letter of Senator Banks Is hn reference to McLaurin's stand on gh(p subsidies. In November, 1902 senator McLaurin delivered an address to the Southern Cotton Spiti? mors association In Atlanta, Ga., and in It, not only called attention to our lack of ships, but to what Germany was doing In this respect. "Great Bntkin is spending two million a year in mail subsidies in excess of her receipts. France, Japan and Germany are spending millions each year and tosether they I have driven the American merchant flag from the high seas. There are millions of American money invested in ships that run under the Gerntn ad English flag, because this government is blind to the importance of ships. Remember that being under a foreign flag in case of war, these ships built with 4,ner*can money will be used against us. "This will strike the south a terrible blow when war does come, be# cause our only money crop is cotton, and It is an export crop. These nierm Was a Hi II Miserv lli I Mrs. F. M.

In connection with the extension of the south's foreign trade, Senator McLnurin advocated an American merchant marine.

"If * ships could be built in the United 1 States as cheaply as they are under 1 other flags it would be unnecessary ' for our government to do more than < to offset the subsidies, bounties, nav- 1 al reserves retainers, and other I methods by which foreign govern- t ments attract capital into merchunt ^ ships built and managed by their < own people. 1 "We must not imagine that Amer- I ican capitalists dependent upon na- J tional legislation in order to make 1 ship owning pay. We have ample 1 evidence of lhrge AmericanV invest- 11 ments in foreign- built ships manned 1 and operated by foreigners in our 1 foreign trade.

Perhaps no State showed , is intelligent dKort as did this State 'or preserving her vegetables and 'ruit crops. Those who showed the s oresipht to can and preserve reapid the full benefits by not having to >uy canned goods at high prices. Trom a purely economical standpoint he necessity of canning fruits and vegetables is more serious this year :han ever before. Last year many hought they would not be able to ;et sugar for their canned goods, elites and preserves. The governnent is rP^lllntiTur onil Will ?? inue to regulate the price of sugar, ind will hold it at a normal figure. ^ ?ood Administration Elliott is confllent that ten cents per pound for su?ar, at retail, will be the prevailing >rice. It is, therefore, very prudent 0 plant vegetables and such foodtuffs as can be- conserved during he coming summer. The govern- 1 nent is already taking ample preaution to see that everybody gets t lenty of containers and sugar, and he following telegram was sent out rom the Food Administration office a Washington. It will be of gener1 interest, and reads: * "Regarding sugar supplied for lanufacturing of essential food proucts appreciating necessity of both roduction and preservation of food ^ upplies as well as reflecting the olicy of the food administration as earing upon collateral industries, uch as manufacturers of cans and 8 ruit jars, etc., and buyers of same, 8 11 manufacturers of essential food roducts are advised that they will e able to obtain their full necessary squirements of sugar for manufaciring purposes during coming seasn. This applies particularly to ackers of fruit, condensed milk, and iich vegetables for preservation of rhich sugar may be necessary, as pell as to the housewives for usage l preserving purposes. When car tiortage is relieved supplies of sugar ill be available for necessary preervation purposes. Shipments from ilha aro otuoilll" - ?? M. v ?wwu?i/ luti cnaiug. Chairman August Kohn, in charge! f the Conservation and Production ampaign in this State, on these asurances feels all the more justified a begging the people to strain every ffort in planting food crops and ardens.
