If Congress acts favorably on
these recommendations the issue
of fraudulent naturalization pap

will be less common, and foreign
governments will show greater

will disappear.

it, and it is not lightly to be con-

A aw TO psohibit farmers from
planting overa specified number
of acres OF cotton to the horse
would be unconstitutional, but to
decide on q certain number of
acres to the horse and put a tax
onsevery additional acre would,
j think, be !perfectly feasible.
So / beg you, / pray you, with
tears in my eyes as big as horse
apples, to pass law at once let
ting the farmers of South Caro-
lima plant, say 10 acres of cotton
to the horse free, and making
them pay $50 per acre for every
acre additional. Let $40 go to
the informerl $40 to an appointed
county surveyor and $40 to the
county. Bythis means it would
not cost the State a copper to en-
force the law and it would be
enforced and the farmers would
be compelledto stick. Pass this
law and We farmers will stick to
yotin it, but tlet it be provided
that it shall Apt become effective

"It is high time that the South

if a majority of the members
