Our farms of the South are pom- liarly adajite:! to raising almo.-t any- ’^'ib'.ng that will grow anywhere, as well a,^ i otton. And why we . houkl b(‘ so thoioughly impoverished l>y adhering so religiously t<rth(* production of the i one crop I can’t .say; unless it is the j inhu ited instinct, bred into us, from Igeiieration to jjeneration. 1 have the iollowing su;rg ’ -tions to offt r that I feel sure will taki‘ ctire of the .-ituation, ^tul |>ut the South back upon a sound and sclf-su;)port- growers ol the United .'States to raise a kick, for it is an agricultural product and is heavily taxed. I am not familiar with all forms of tax ation, but if any article of any kind is tax<‘d moie than toliacco, 1 do noli know what it is. For example, take' a fiackage of a well-known brand'-of smoking tobacco that goes to the con sumer at 5c per bag. In South ('uro-| lina it is taxed 20 jier cent of the re tail |fr:ce. as it carries Ic state tax.' It akso carries the federal lax, thi*' ’ j amount of which I do not know. Hut' assuming that it is as much as the slate tax. it would mean tha it is tax-: ed 10 per cent of the retail selling, price. Such a tax placed upon cotton i nig lia.sis. There will b<‘ grown this alternate year would jiroduce i year about eleven million bales ol cot- desired result. I am sure that if' such a law was made and each indi-' vidual cotton grower was insured thej protection of same equally — that is,! that he would not be prohibited, and I allow his neighbor to produce all that | he could — that there would be vefy i that it would ' pproval of a; large nfajorkty of growers. The trou-j ble always has been, and always will ^ ton, according to government statis tics and estimation, which is several million bales less than a large crop. We. might venture as a guess that we will raise next year. 1933, thirteen million bales, and al approximit:“ly ill«i Jiresent price it will be worth, I little objection t oit, and Ml$4.55,(100,000.
