Quite recently all savings bunks de (

I his was a very grave measure, and j
t Is very likely thut its consequences ^
will go a long way towards shaking ,
the national confidence.
Haw materials and most building ,
materials have also been monopolized t
bv the government. All building is |
tit a standstill. The demand for metul
for the needs of the army grows ,
from day to duy, but the supplies are j
bound to come to an end sooner or ,
later. There is no Collossum to strip .
of its bronze liars today, since that i
was most elTciently done in the "l5th
century. A pope once took the bronze |
root oft the Pantheon to turn it into ,
cannon, but the resources of the past j
would be difely inadequate now.
The rank and file of the Italian ,
people are most vitally interested in |
two questions only?fuel and food !
They find themselves on the thresh | (

that a great many people base
bad to give up t liei r ? ca rs ; but tliis,
alter all, is a minor hardship. What
I" disquieting is the fact that t?.od
prices are soaring from day to day.
I he whole of the commerce is already
badly crippled by the new exchange
regulations; imported foodstuffs.
some of which are immediate
commodities, will soon be out of reach
ot people with slender incomes; and
the ordinary manin-tho-street is puzzled
by the news liltering through
from day to day about how one
foreign firm and now another refusing
to send fresh consignments to
Italy?mainly owing to the shaken linancial
conditions.
'bit tin Italian seldom, if ever,
pauses to look for reasons. He will
have to shiver and, probably, go short
of the most things in the coming
winter, and from the press, the demonstrations,
'he whole public tenor of

Meanwhile, liicle Sum's husky *
idopted son, the AAA, will tell every (
aimer and gurdcner in this state who 1
nines as much as live bushelH of po- u
aloes a year, exactly how many S
jounds of potatoes he may sell this H
iext year, without puylng a Lax of 4f> h
ents a bushel on them. b
The AAA at Washington now hus v
lotatoes in exactly the same stutus as I
otton hus been. Kacli grower gets an 11
iHotnieiit, and tax tree certllicates for f
bat many pounds of potatoes When '
le sells any potatoes, he pastes on
lie container a proportionate purl of I'
ils tax free certificate. When his cor- r
ideates and allotment run out, he '1
nust pay 45 cents a bushel on the po- v
aloes he sells after that ? which of tl
ourse, Is prohibitive, us regards any 11
iroflt, or meeting cost of production.
The allotment for this whole state a

oines the allottmyit to individual po- o
uto growers, fanners, truckmen, and ?
own gardeners who have a crop as ii
urge as dve huHhols. P
Potatoes will be handled by the gov- b
-riinient agencies exactly as cotton
ias been. Cotton, tobacco and pea- B
mts have been restricted that way, c
Hid now potatoes are added to the <
1st of crops affected. x
There may be considerable delay in 2
making the allotments of potatoes to c
individual growers, for individual al- t
Icitnietits cannot be made, said J. LI. I
llutson, director of tin- AAA division a
if potatoes, until funds are provided I
for administrative expenses. \
"We have asked the proper authorises
whether we can use funds from

Where the wide-awake housekcep- i
ers, accustomed to buying a peck or j
a bushel of potatoes from a huckster. 1
or a farmer hauling them to town to ,
sell, realized that they had to be sure j
that the potatoes they bought were 1
packed correctly and labelled legally >
?under a penalty of a $1,000 tine to 1
the purchaser ? they made a vocal i
road in some places.
laind protests already have resounded
against the law. Open predictions ;
of detiauce and potato bootlegging
have been made.
At one time, Secretary Wallace said
lie would do everything possible to
keep from enforcing the law. but at a
potato growers'hearing the very next
day the protests against this stand
were so vociferous that he retracted.

chiefly in Maine ami Ohio, who grow
the larger part, of tin.- potatoes going
to Hi'' metropolitan markets. Against
it are the small town housewives?
or they will be before it has been operated
a week.
1 In- objective of the whole thing is
frankly to elevate the price of potatoes.
so the grower tan get more
money for his crop -to bring his price
back to thai before 1 a2b.
But in addition' to that natural, and
planned, rise in prices of potatoes in
tlie hands of tlie growers, there will be
other things to pay for, it is pointed
out by some thrifty and economical
housewives.
Tliere are those standard containers
Tor every half peck, or half bushel
of potatoes sold in one transaction,
which containers must be government
specifications, a fid will cost the seller
some money?not much for one, but
considerable in the aggregate.
Then there is the extra labor entailed,
and to be paid for. in properly
and legally sealing and stamping tinpotato
paekages. And a number of
other tilings becoming new factors in

A GLOOMY PICTURE
A committor of threo, hailing from
he University of North Carolina and
'ink Unlvoruity at Nashville, lias reontly
made, what they claim, an ex-,
enalve research Into the cotton sitation
and farm temuncy in the "Old
ioutli." Flsk University is a negro
(I tool, Their preliminary findings"
avc been published in a small clolhound
hook of about 7i> pages. A copy
fus sent to fhis office by somebody,
f this committee has properly diagowed
the case most of us would beter
pack rags and prepare to move,
'hey paint a gloomy future. That
olored member of the committee eslecially,
nfuy do well to hasten arangemcnts
for his race to escape the
00111 that Is to come. The calamity
r'lll hit his crowd the hardest, as
lie negro and cotton on the farms are
lseparable.
The cotton farmers, we are told,
re "the most backward and lmpovrisked
producers in America." Inrcased
cotton acreage In Texas, Okihoma,
and a few of less degree, is
ne of the evil signs. Negroes, it
ays, are being supplanted by whites
11 the cotton fields. Of tenants, the
iroportion is already 5 whites to 3
dacks. And tenancy Is increasing.
Out of every 100 cotton farms over
0 are tenants. White tenants in the
otton states in 10 years have inreused
by 200 thousand families,
vhllo colored tenants decreased by
1,000 families. There is much crlll:isni
of landlords with reference to
heir comissaries, bookkeeping, and
uterest charges. Most of these teumis,
according to their figures, barey
subsist, and a large percentage alvuys
in debt.
The cotton pelt is described as a
panorama of nnpainted shacks, rainlullied
fields, rattletrap Fords, dirt,
loverly, disease and drudgery." "40
?er cent of tenant flood is fat salt
?ork. Finally the tenant receives this
hrust. That he is disposed to rob
he soil, burn for firewood rails from
my nearby fence, planks from the
lurch floor, or other available mov1
bies.
Some say tenants are poor because
hey are lazy, while others contend
hat their laziness is due to their poverty.
"Thirty per cent of the cotton
auds of various states are owned by
insurance companies and -banks."
What adds to the gloom is the "loss
if world markets." Now fifty cotton
trowing countries in the world.
'Lgypt is producing the best cotton
trown." Brazil is coming to the front
Mid has a "larger available acreage
than the United Sta4.es." Russia no
longer a buyer of export cotton. "In
1921, Russia made forty-three thousand
bales. In 1933 it had jumped to
I.mhj.uuO. Texas and Oklahoma now
produce nearly one half of our cotton,
and it will not be long, under the
present trend, before the states west
ui the Mississippi river can supply
the world consumption of American
cotton. Improved machinery, especially
in the South West, is putting thousands
out of employment. Yet there
are still many Andy Gumps who pre
tend to think that there should be nc
birth control among the poor in this
country. These white-collar diagnos
ticians think that the Bankkead law
is a great blessing to the laudownei
but hard on the tenant.
It is further claimed that in Xortl:
C arolina in 1934 between eight nnd
twelve thousand tenant farmers wert
displaced, and had no crops. Little
hope is held out. These suggestion*
as to the outcome are given: 1. Star
ration. 2. Permanent support on thf
relief rolls. 3. Work in the cities
4 A change in the farming system
Soils must be improved. Tenant*
must be converted into owners. I)en
mark, we are informed, practicallj
abolished tenancy, and groat improve
ments in Germany. Ireland, and Mexi
CO. Cotton must and will be dothron
ed as sole King, and it is well to be
gin tht- undermining at once.
