The cause for the induction is chargeable to two prin cipal reasons, r irst, tne iarmers are reasons. holding the bulk of the 1920 cron be- cause present prices represent hardly more than one-third of the cost of production. Second, banks and sup ply merchants are unable to finance the planting of a normal acreage in cotton in 1921 while carrying unpaid obligations of 1920. State Must Pay 6V4 Per Cent.
