TOO MUCH WINE FEARED
Not by Prohibitionists, but by
italian Vine Growers.
FOR THREE YEARS CROPS ARE BIG
Another Billion Gallon Vintage Ex-
pected This Year, and Even High
Per Capita Consumption of
Wine Can't Dispose of IL.

People in Europe are afraid Of another
wine flood this year" said Lee j. Vance,
secretary of the American Wine Growers
association, who has just returned from
Europe, where he investigated the vineyard
industry, especially in France and Italy.
"A succession OF enormous vintages is
largely responsible for the present crisis in
the italian wine trade.
The wine crops Of the last two years,
that Is, in 1908 and 1907, were l,OOO.OOO,O 900
gallons each. This year the vines are again
loaded with grapes, and II is predicted that
there will be another billion-gallon wine
crop in Italy. In many places the farmers
or growers do not know what to do or
where to get cooperage for their new wine.
Last year an agricultural commission
investigated the situation, and recon-
mended h the surplus and unsold wines
Of poor quality be distilled into alcohol for
Industrial purposes, and that the planting
of new vines be restricted in some way.
Therefore, In order to relieve the situation
the Italian government has allowed the
manufacture OF alcohol without paying the
usual tax. and the taxes are now RENTED
or greatly reduced on the land where the
vines are pulled out. For the same pur-
pose most Of the cities In Italy lowered
the octroi, or duty, which the farmers OF
growers must pay when they bring theii
wines into town.

To begin with, l will state that /

right in the very heart of the "Black
Patch" the largest tobacco growing
section on the face of the earth. From
this you will see that | am bound

here.
1t was in my Immediate section
that, in 1904, We farmers organized
the "Tobacco Growers Protective As
sociation'' to fight the hellish Tobacco
Trust. The Trust concocted a diaboli
cal plot and scheme to rob us of our
homes and liberty, and strove, with all
its might and main, to blightearth s
fairest land.
All that rescued and redeemed our
country from the remorseless grip OF
the despoilers hand was the desperate
fight we made. Driven to desperation,
we struck back blow for blow. When
the fight was hot, certain vile sheets
in the North sent reporters here to
write up 'EThe Tobacco War" Our
people, thinking they would give both
sides Of the fight, treated the Yam
KEGS courteously. But when they re-
turned to the North, the cowardly ours
printed sheet after sheet Of the vilest
lies and SANDER about us. We then
wrote our side of the question and
sent it with a courteous request that
it be printed. We met with fiat re
fusal. Then a bank check was sent
with the request that it be inserted at
regular advertising rates, and we were
turned down again. We then saw
through the whole trick-hirelinss
sent here by the Tobacco Trust to
publish us to the world as band
of lawless "Night Riders outlaws
and ut-throats, refusing to give us
a chance to defend ourselves.
