260 AGRICULTURAL RELIEF “They” refers to his Senators and Representatives— And I believe I have their confidence. I have confidence in them; I believe ‘hat they will support any measure that they believe will be of any real benefit 0 the farmers. If they see fit, and some of them did, last year, to support the McNary-Haugen bill, well and good. But I have not asked them to support it or any certain measure. Mr. AsweLn. Then he is not for the fee or nothing, is he? Mr. KiLcore. With the exception of Mr. Conwell, who was against it last year—— } Mr. AsweLL. Last year, 1926-27, Georgia handled 6.8 per cent of the crop production. A cotton man told me the other day that they would not handle more than a third of that much this year. Do you know that? Mr. KiLgore. That may be around that. Mr. AsweLL. You are speaking for them; you ought to know. Mr. KiLGorE. I have not the figures right before me, but that is around right. Mr. AsweLL. How about North Carolina—and that is the last year I have a report on—it handled 9.6 per cent. I was told the other day they did not have more than half that this year. That is your tate! Mr. KiLgore. That is so. Mr. AswgLL. One more statement, and I am through with that. [t will be noted here that Arizona produces a very small amount of cotton, long staple, and they are largely in the cooperative business. That brings the average up. You take a State like Texas, in 1926-27 it only handled 3.4 per cent of its crop. So I want the committee to note, if they will, that the American Cotton Exchange does not represent the cotton growers of the South; it only represents 6.8 per cent if they are all in it—I am a member of one of them myself— I do not agree with what Doctor Kilgore says. If he represented all the cotton cooperatives it would only be 6.8 per cent, and this year less than that by about 50 per cent; and, Mr. Chairman, I have a statement here from the Department of Agriculture about this pro- duction State by State and the amount handled by the cooperatives. May I insert it in the record right here? The CuairmMaN. Without objection, it is so ordered. . Mr. Jones. Doctor Kilgore might prefer to have it-after his state- Mr. AswerL. Mr. Kilgore has been talking about it right here. Mr. KiLcore. Doctor Aswell is just helping me tell my story. Mr. AsweLL. I am glad if I help vou.
