Democrat of South Carolina, reported
TODAY hy the Senate Agricultural
Committee.
The inquiry would cover foreign

COTTON BELT EXTENDED

Cairo. ILL.,, Jan. 30-A cotton crop
in Illinois this year is practically as
sured, D. S. Lansden,a banker of this
city having placed an order for plant
ing seed which he has announced he
will buy in car lots and resell to the
farmers at cost.
Farmers in this section have pledged
approximately 1000 acres to the crop,
hitherto believed to be an exclusive
possession of the lands below the Ma
son and Dixon line.
10y e. Rast, agriculturist for the
Lee Wilson cotton plantations Of Will
son, Ark, Travelled over southern Illi-
nOis few days ago, examining the
soil and studying weather data. He
said that with the growing season
about two weeks longer than prevails
in Missouri, where cotton has been
grown successfully, together with the
fertile soil of Illinois, there is no rea-
son why cotton should not become one
of the most profitable crops of south
ern Illinois.

The Candy Calendar

Sugar was introduced into America
by the Spaniards in 1920. In the six
teenth century a sugar-baker was
man who boiled raw sugar and refined
1t sufficiently we'll to make it fit for
home use. Candy-makers and candy
stores began to make their appearance
in Europe in the latter part of the six
teenth century, but it was not till 1860
that candy peddlers appeared on the
streets of London. Lemondrops were
first made in England in 1928.

paying expenses" said Mr.. Rast,
could be planted to cotton and return
gross receipts of not less than $50
an acre.
Concrete action on the part Of
Illinois farmers deserves the COOP
GRAFTON of all Southern cotton growers
The chances are that with such CO.
operation among the growers Of the
fleecy staple in southern Illinois, and
with no boil weevil to damage their
crop, even with their short season,

NEW BILL ON
SEVERANCE TAX
Compromise Measure Intro
duced by Senator Nor
fleet-Wilson Bill
Amended

Little Rock, January 30.-An echo
of important hearing before the
Senate Committee on Revenue and
Taxation held Monday night was
| heard in the Senate yesterday in the
introduction of a new severance tax
! bill by Senator Norfeet. chairman of
the committee Although President
Jake Wilson's bill now is pending in
the Senate. and was pending Monday.
! it was discussed at the committee
hea rings Monday night, together with
Senator Bogle's bill. Governor McRae
who addressed the committee, objected
to the Wilson bill for the reason that
it imposed the tax only on oil and gas
and few minor minerals. The Nor
| fleet bill. known as the compromise
! bill seeks to meet all objections to
the Wilson bill 1t is supplementary
to the latter in that it taxes all nat
ural products of the soil and water
not included in the Wilson bill
tax of per cent of the value of the
product is assessed on all coal, lumber,
etc, and no distribution is made of
the revenues to be derived under the
bill. The 80 cent per ton taxation on
bauxite, assessed in the Boyle bill, is
increased TO 81 ton in the NOrfieet
bill The measure was referred to
the Committee on Revenue and Tax
alton.
President Wilson called his bill up
yesterday morning and amended it by
adding a clause providing that should
the courts find invalid any one clause
the validity of no other clause nor the
bill in entirely, will be affected. An
other amendment offered by Senator
Williams, also adopted, provides that
appeals from assessments may be
taken to any chancery court having
jurisdiction instead OF to the Pulaski
Chancery Court, as originally pro-
vided for.
4 bill was presented by Senator
Price which would legalize Sunday
amusements, but would leave to the
town and city councils the authority
of declaring and Sunday game or
other amusement illegal on moral
grounds. Another general measure,
introduced by Senator DuLaney, pro-
yides for the conservation OF the
states forests. The bill creates a
state board of forestry to consist OF
the governor, superintendent Of public
instruction and the commissioner of
mines. manufactures and agriculture,
ex-officio. and four citizens to be ap-
pointed by the governor. The board
is empowered to create state parks of
state-owned woodlands and to appoint
state forester at $4,000 year to
have general supervision Of the for
ests. fire control, supervision Of re-
forestation, etc.
