I desire. however. to have printed In the RECORD a letter received by me from the Rice Growers Association of California. together with the resolution adopted by them and the. names attached thereto. One paragraph from the letter. however. I shall read: The rice industry of California represents the product of 250.000 acres of land upon which rice is the only crop that can be raised at a profit. it Is. therefore. vital that this industry should be protected against the invasion of South Asiatic rice. which can be soldI in the United States under the 1cent tariff at onehalf the price at which Louisiana. Texas. Arkansas. and California rice must be sold In order to return to the grower the cost of production.
