They have bored deep wells for the purpose of irrigation. and this year they have made the largest rice crop they ever produced in the history of the country. Now. not only is rice quoted below the cost of production. but we have practically no market for our rice. Not only that. but Asiatic rice is being imported. and unless something is done to protect our farmers the majority of them will go into bankruptcy. I stated this morning that I had always contended that agricultural products should receive protection in proportion to manufactured products. I have always been consistent on that.
