Our people were appealed to to produce more. They have bought land and implements at high prices. they have bored wells for irrigation. and they have paid labor higli to make the largest crop they ever produced. and today not only that rice is selling away below the cost of production but there are practically no markets. And yet rice is being imported from Asiatic countries where they produce it for practically nothing. As a foundation to any stability of values in the livestock industry. we must have protection against cattle raising in South America and the sheep raisers of Australia and New Zealand. Due to cheap land. cheap labor. tropical climate. luxuriant grass. and the fact that they have a larger percentage of calves and no winter season in South America. meat can be produced in those countries for much less per pound than in the United States.
