We also want to thank ear faithful physician, Dr. Work- xhan, for his untiring service. To *eh of you we pray God’s richest blessings be upon ybu. We are thankful to say Little Doris at this writing is doing nicely. Mr. and Mrs. George Shrine, And Children. Plum Branch, S. C. Coimty Agent E. L. Rogers calls attention to the following state ment of the Agricultural Adjust ment Administration regarding the causes of lower exports of Ameri can cotton. “With reference to the decline in exports of cotton textiles and re cent increases in imports, it should be observed that a compen satory tax equivalent to the do mestic cotton processing tax must be paid when manufactured cotton articles are imported into this country, and the cotton processing tax is refunded when manufactur ed articles are exported from this country”, says the Agricultural Ad justment Administration. “Foreign manufacturers buy American cotton at the same prices that are being paid by American required to pay a compensatory import tax equival ent to the cotton processing tax, and in addition the tariff on cotton textiles when the materials are im ported into this country. It is therefore obvious that the rise in prices American producers receive for cotton and the cotton process ing tax are not factors in the com petitive situation between Ameri can and foreign mills. ! “In considering the increase ki imports of cotton clqth. from the low point of 1932 wften 29,436,000 'square yards w^re imported, to 1934 when 41,533,000 square yards were Imported, it should be kept in mind tiiat imports . were still compara tively small. From 1926 through 1929 imports exceeded 60,000,000 square yards annually, and at the peak in 1923, imports amounted to 218,970,000 square yards. Domestic production of cotton cloth totaled 7,086,437,000 quare yards in 1934. Imports, therefore, amounted to slightly less than six-tenths of one per cent of our domestic produc tion of cotton cloth."
