Serceztay Wallace briefly summarizes reasonsiss-
racultore has been,chronically in trouble sincethe World
War g & fn s"&" : Ee as
First, there was the wartime expansion of cult
waited crops when farmers patri0tically plowed up, 40
million extra acres of land to. help win the war.
Second, there was the abrupt change of the Unit
ed States after the war from a. debtor to creditor ma
ton, making it difficult for foreign nations to buy our
surplus farm crops.
Third, there was the displacement of the horse
by the automobile, truck and tractor and the releasing
of 35 million acres that had formerly been used for the
production of feed.
Fourth, there was the movement of European ma
lions to produce all their own food so as not to be
starved out in another war.
Fifth. there was the new farm competition in
Other countries sucn as Argentina and Australia.
Sixth. there was the increase in industrial tariffs
In the United States, which caused other countries to
'retaliate by shutting out our farm products.
price-fixing by corporations, so that the farmers, when
they went to the store to buy, had to pay what was
asked, but when they sold their own produce, they had
to take what was offered.
LAS far back as. 1921, farmers suffered from all
these seven h~andicaps. Then, as their own depression
spread to the cities, they suffered from still another
handicap. That was the lack Of buyer power in the
cities. In 80 and 81 and '32 more and more factory
workers lost their jobs, demand for farm products fell
lower and lower, and the surplus grew more and more
acute. The nation saw the ironic spectacle of great
surpluses on the farms and long breadlies in the towns"

Mr.. Johnston aptly pointed out in his Jackson

Mr., Johnston aptly pointed out in his Jackson
speech last week. crushing mills have little stake in
whether consumption of c0ttonseed oil increases, or
whether prices for the raw seed go UP or down. These
mills in general can switch to crushing soy-beans, pea
nuts or other materials, or can pass the price on to the
consumer while the farmer must sell his cottonseed at
a low, price if laws practically prohibit the sale of mar
garine for many home tables.
The council president was right, too, when he said
that consumption of butter is no greater in the states
which tax heavily the sale of margarine than in states
where this product is untaxed. Statistics prove that the
supposed competitor of butter appeals to a separate in
come group.
So what? Well, the biggest reason for these state
ments is that right hete in Mississippi. second largest
cotton producing state in the nation and home of the
greatest cottonseed oil mills in the world, there are taxes
which restrict the sale of margarine-a distinct pro-
duce of cottOnseed oil.
We have a state law that taxes wholesalers who
handle margarine 500 q year, and retailers $40 a year.
As a result, sale of margarine in Mississippieis less than
half for the same product in Alabama each year
while there is no corresponding difference in the sale
of butter in the sister state.
Mississippi people in the past probably have favor
ed this law because they could see no reason fol, letting
cocoanut oil, or other foreign oils. invade our buffers
market. but today the situation is entirely different.
Now margarines basis in the, main is homegrown cot
tonseed and h0me-crushed cottonseed. oil and, the, causes
today. s
Since this is a fight for. the farmers, who stand to
make money or lose part of their income, depending, on
the price Of cottonseed, this editor suggests that every
rural resident make it q point to let the legislators learn
the facts in the case today. 1s@" T47'% ~ - @&
