Agriculture Voices Opposition To Any Tobacco Sur-Ta\os (Continued tram page one) 'Rural Federal Relief?" The following letter is being sent to all Senators "We are sending together with this letter, copy of argument in brief filed with the U. S. Seriate Fi nance Committee This is a frank.. candid and honest expression, ex hibiting the economic and factual reasons why, it would be uneconom ic and inequitable to impose a sup er-taxes upon tobacco as proposed in H.R. 10039. The average Kentucky farmer, whose condition is typical of other tobacco farmers in the nation, plants, cultivates and harvests an average of 1.00U pounds of tobacco per acre on 4 acres of $23.00 land, j The average farm price in the past year was T5.9cehls, or $159.01) per? acre. Thus the average farmer receive? $(530-00 gross income for his tobac co rmp v. j 1 The Federal tax on cigarettes is; n iw slightly- mnrr than $10(1 per . pound on the tobacco. Hence, un collect $1,000 as a "Tax Crop", or a total of $4,000 on the tobacco crop ped on 4 acres of land This is slight ly more than 50 times the valyie of the land on which the crop was rais ed. ? : '; j In addition to the $4,000 Federal tax, it is estimated that another S400 j per acre is collected in excise, sales j' taxes, license and mercantile fees1 by the <?tales, counties and other ( "Tax Crop" of $1.00 per pound, (more than six times the farm price of the tobacco), the Federal govern ment collected for the fiscal year 1939. $580,159,000. or 10 per cent of the entire Federal income from this one agricultural commodity After our farmers had already cut their production, subject to the "A.A.A. Control Program." the Brit ish, who long bought 50 per cent of our exports, stopped buying Amer ican tobacco. Confronted with this loss of foreign market, a low price, stocks now on hand and a 50 per cent decrease from last year's in come, they are now faced with ut ter bankruptcy While tobacco farmers, in common with all other groups, are willing to pa) their just share of the cost of the nation's defense, we submit that the proposed super-tax on tobacco is unfair and inequitable. It should be defeated " Graham Advocates Immediate Aid To Victims Of Hitler (Continued from page one) gium. and. with an intelligent peace the people of Germany as well Our sympathies go out to all these and to the people of Spain, Ethiopia. Fin land. China, and all others denied freedom and democracy by dictators and empires, east and west. _ In vie\e of these tragic lessons we must have something more than a program for immediate aid to the Allies and for more adequate nation al defense As part of the program of the more adequate national or ganization of defense there must go forward the program for the more adequate international organization of peace in a world in need of peace | and work, freedom and democracy, humane religion and the brother ' hood of men, all to be protected by j the sanctions of international law uinl the puu ci-?of an international, policy.

To work toward the control |of this great international mechani- i cal and economic framework, with its pow er to tear down or build up j our civ ilization, we must organize a corresponding international, politi cal. social, and spiritual framework of humane controls by a more dem ocratic league of the peoples of the world, yearning for peace, work, and a fairer chance for their chil Idren./ . ;; Despite all their and our demo cratic and plutocratic injustices and failures, and. even because of the lessons of their and our failures, we would give our sympathy and aid to the peoples of the democracies because they, and hot the dictators, by traditions and professions, give the peoples of the world a better hope for the freedom to struggle for freedom, democracy, peace and hu mane religion as the. basis of them all for a I 1 mankind.

Frarrie Garden Is Good Protection ITsp of I in- rnlH frump for the DrO duction of early and late vegetables when frost damage prevents grow ing the tender plants without pro tection, is a common practice in many counties, but H. R. Niswonger, extension horticulturist of State Col lege, says the frame garden is also valuable in protecting vegetables from the hot summer sun in the cen tral and eastern sections. "A frame garden can be construct ed from scrap lumber, planks, slabs from saw mills, or similar mater ial," the specialist advised. "Hie sides of the garden should be of boards about one foot wide, and the most convenient size of a frame garden is 5 feet wide and 20 to 25 feet long. More than one garden can be built if more space is needed. "Strips are nailed across the frame every four or six feet to support the sides and hold up a cover of brush or slats to be used when necessary for partial shade and to prevent dam age of early fall frosts. Hie soil in the frame should be fertilized with manure, or with "5-7-5 fertilizer. Spade up th soil area to a depth of 8 to 10 inches." ? Niswonger also stressed the im portance of having a convenient wa ter supply to that the beds cut re ceive moisture they win be robbed of by the nature of their construction. He says that radishes, lettuce, beets, mustard, spinach, carrots, Swiss chard, bush beans, and English peas are some of the vegetables that can be grown in a frame garden.
