294 AGRICULTURAL RELIEF pounds. They tried—and they were ordered to grow this tobacco, and they were guaranteed by their government a fixed price for their tobacco, and a big price; and they grew this tobacco in large amounts. But a lot of it was a tobacco not fit for use for smoking or chewing purposes. It would not burn. They had not enough potassium sulphate in it, and it largely had to be used for other purposes. A creat deal of it was sold to the Swiss Government to be made into nicotine sulphate insecticide for spraying grapevines. I do not think Canada will ever grow the quality of tobacco that is grown in Kentucky. I do not think the climate is just right for it. Mr. Menges. I know that that is the case nearly every type of tobacco requires special climatic and soil conditions that is produced. Mr. MorGaN. Yes, sir. Mr. Menges. I did not wish to embarrass you by asking if you used alcohol in connection with curing your tobacco. Mr. KinceELoe. You do not mean the tobacco he consumes himself—that would be embarrassing. [Laughter.; Mr. Menges. I am in earnest about this, because you know alcohol is used in the manufacture of some grades of chewing tobacco and smoking tobacco and cigar tobacco. Mr. MorGaN. Yes, sir; I know it is used for that purpose. Mr. Menges. That is true in my section of the country, valeri- anate of ammonia and alcohol are used in producing a certain flavor of Shae for smoking and cigars. It does not require the use of very much. The CuairMAN. Are you through, Mr. Morgan? Mr. MorGAN. I am through. The Cuairman. Thank you very much. STATEMENT OF R. M. CROWDER, PRESIDENT FARM BUREAU © PPESIDEN™ F THE STATE CHAMBER OF AGRICULTURE, "NT, S. Dak. ¢ The CrairMAN. State your full name for the record. Mr. Crowper. My name is R. M. Crowder, of Elk Point, S. Dak. [ am president of the Farm Bureau and president of the State Cham- ber of Agriculture, which represents 15 different farm organizations— that is, farm group organizations of the Farm Bureau. I represent the Grange, Equity Union, the Alfalfa Seed Growers—I beg pardon for not having these in print, because I did not expect to go on this morning. There is also a Crop Improvement Association; there are the elevator people, the wheat pool and the poultry people, and the Holstein Freisan Association, the Farm Woman's Congress, the Threshermen’s Association. I am not sure whether I named them all or not, but I believe that is about all. In my general representation before your committee this morning, I simply wanted to impress the idea of the benefits of the equalization fee as permeating our organizations in a broad way. We feel that through the equalization fee, while it is not compulsory, yet we feel that through it it will enable us to strengthen our organiza- tions from the standpoint of getting benefits out of this fee back where we have voluntarily so long endeavored to carry the load through our different organizations, and that without this fee a strong rep- resentation comes from our various organizations that we could not.
