BATON ROUGE, La, August 2s.--
The planting of cotton in Louisiana
next year would be prohibited under a
bill before the State Senate which
was passed unanimously yesterday by
the House Of Representatives. It's pas
sage by the Senate was predicted by
Gov. Huey p Long, its sponsor.
The House passed the bill by vote OF
~ TO 0. The measure Is contingent on
similar action by States having rs per
cent of the cotton acreage in 1880.
Planting of cottonseed to raise cotton,
the gathering of cotton and the ginning
of cotton in 1882 in Louisiana likewise
would be prohibited by the bill. 1t
would be a misdemeanor for any per
son, firm or corporation to violate this
act. The penalty would be fine Of
not less than 500 or not more than
$500, or Imprisonment Of not less than
10 days and not more than go days for
each odense.
Crops Made Unlawful.
The bill would empower the State
commissioner Of agriculture to destroy
OF cause to be destroyed any Gotten
found to be growing in 1882.
Gov. Long was spectator during the
debate in the House. After its passage
he called the House action "a COM
plete adoption of the resolution of the
Conference of the cotton growing States
OF America held in New Orleans last
Friday"
Long Sees Price Rise.
The Louisiana Governor said that IF
the other Governors and Legislatures
of cotton growing States will take up
the cJdgel for their people within the
next two weeks cotton will be selling
at from Is cents to 20 cents per pound
throughout the world.
America has on hand, with this
years crop" he said, ''over 24.000. 600
bales of cotton. We cannot sell more
than IL 900 900 bales Of it this year.
We have enough for this year and
next year already grown, and 1t would
be q crime for the legislators OF the
cotton-growing States to allow this cp-
portunity to pass to restore prosperity
10 their people"
