BETTER FARMING"
The present condition of the
truck ma'kets is such that most of
our farm rs aie facing a practica!
loss of al! pro lucts now on hand.
•This situation calls fur attention,
V
not particularly for the presen t
cr..p but toijpali time to come.
i T it "Progressive Farmer" stated
n i s last issue,—"For the past
ioo vears, farmers have received
about ha'f the value of the crops
grown by them." Now 1 ask you -
what are y u g >ing to do about it?
The farmei boy who leaves the
fa m at this time finds that he cun
obtain as much as $3 on per day
for his •'common labor." If he has
a slight mechanical ability, he is
hkeiy to receive from $5 ou to
$7 50 per dav doing work that he
could not qualify for in ordinary
p-ace tunes. Why then should the
farmer who remains to till his
fi -Id ' havo to be satisfy with a
in -re pittarce, while the bu'k of
his crops are rotting m the field *
The answer is r»dculously simple
his efforts are •J.ckking in system,
adequate forethought and commu
pity cooperation and organization
Back of system is shown parti
cular-ly in that habit of which w«
are always boasting namely, that
we raise thiee or four crops a year
o„ the same Und. What does this
me in? lust thisf-w* follow one
crop with another so quickly that
we have to intercrop to do it. , he
effect is that we never get our
J mds well prepared and that we
generally get our crops stirted^tou
late and must pom pete with the
produce of oilier sections, on a
glutted market. If Wt get our
ciops we'd planied on a mellow
seed lied, early enough- we will
have offered to us at) op®r market
which is in need of our truck. Re
sides, a better preparation will
make cultivation easier, aim we
Will produce more uniform pro
ducts. and it we grade the ship
ments and m-ike a concerted eff >rt
(<• furnish a ' qualify product we
w 11 not lie likely tu have any com
i
o*
or
ml
Ob
plaint on the score of prices
This same svstem of many crops
on the same land can be made
very profitable if we make about
half of these crops "soil improv
ers'' instead of "soil depietors"
Follow your spring crop with cow
peas which you Can turn under for
the benefit of the coming crop.
Then use commercial fertilizers to
give quality and ea-ly maturity to
your products, and you will proha
bly find your self making mure
money on fewer crops
But behind all this, there should
be a good selling association, It is
just as necessary for a farme 1 " to
keep track ot the markets as it is
for any other manufacturer to do
so. Organization abo makes it pos
sibie to i ffer "round lots" for sale
F. O. B. your shipping joint, thus
removing the necessity of mak»ng
speculative shipments to doubtful
markets. It has always been a psy
cl.ological puzzle to me to try to
get »he viewpoint of the farmer
who, season after season, makes
blind bets by staking his produce
-the whole resuls of his labors -
against the good offices of an un
known commission firm . The com
mission man always wins as he
must be paid for his work, but Mr
Fanner, remember that you are
also entitled to some recompense,
and the only way for you to get it
is to conduct your business in a
businesslike manner. As long as
you stand ior being exploited,you
will be the poor, struggling labor
er that you now are: You only sal
vatiun is for you to intelligently
manage your own business. You
must organize

Through the aftorts ot tha United
Stataa food administration the sugar
market hue been regulated ms ter as

and ask» the American housewife to
pm/ no more than this amount
last August when the food admin
istration was organised tha price of
sogar roe» suddenly to 11 cents a
pound. Daring tha Civil War sugar
coat the consumer 89 cents a pound.
By regulation of the snear market and
reducing the price to 8 V 6 and 9 cent*
end keeping It from advancing to 20
cents the food administration has sav
ed the American public at least $180,
000,000 la four months, according to
a statement made by Herbert Hoover
tho ether day.
"It la osr stem duty to feed the al
lies, to maintain their health nnd
strength at any cost to ourselves,*
Mr. Hoover declared. "There has not
been, nor will be as we see It, enough
sugar for even thetr present meagre
and depressing ration unless they send
ships to remote markets tor It If w*
in our greed and gluttony force them
either to further reduce their rati 00
or to send these ships we will bar#
done damage to our abilities to wta
this war.
"If wa send the thtpe to Java
for 890,000 tone of aw par next year
we will have necessitated tha em
ployment of at even extra ships for
one year. Theee ships—If used I«
transporting troops would take
180,000 to 300,000 men to Prance.*
A as son far Werid èhorüsf
Jdf, Hocrrfr pointe^ out, the
United BtmtM, Canada and England
were sugar Importing countries before
tbs war, while Franca and Italy were
very nearly »elf eupportlng. The main
eourcee of the world's sugar supply
was Qermany and neighboring powers,
the Weet Indies and the East Indies.
German sugar Is no longer available,
ea It la uaed entirely In Germany,
which also absorbs sugar of surround
ing countries.
England can no longer buy 1,400,000
long tons of sugar each year from
Germany. The French augar prodoc«
tlon has dropped from 700,000 to 210,
000 tons. The Italian production ha»
fallen from 210,000 tons to 78,000 tons
Thus three countries were thrown
npon Eaat and West Indian sonrees
for 1,929,000 tons annually to maintain
their normal consumption.
Because of tho world's shipping
shortage the allied nations started
drawing on Um West Indies for sugar;
East Indian sugar took three times
tha number of ships, since the dis
tance was three times a* great Sud
denly tbs west was called on to fur
nish and did furnish 1,420,000 too* at
sugar to Europe when 300,000 tons a
year was the pre-war demand. Tho
allies had drawn from Java 400,000
tons before the shipping situation be
came acute.
"In spite of these shipments," Mr.
ncover stated the other day, "th#
English government tn August reduced
the household sugar ration to a basis
of 24 pounds per annum per capita.
And in September the French govern
ment reduced their household ration
to 13 2-10 pounds a year, or a bit over
1 pound of sugar a month. Even this
meagre ration could not be filled by
the French government It was found
early In the fall. America was then
asked for 100,000 tons of sugar and
succeeded In sending 88,000 tons by
December 1. The French request was
granted because the American house
hold consumption was then at least 58
pounds per person, and It was consid
ered the duty of maintaining tha
French moral» anade our course clear.*
Today the sugar eituaMan may
tm summarised by stating that If
America will radwea It» augar ean
sumption 10 to 19 par cent this
nation will ba able to aend 200,000
more soldiers to Francs,

Control of Cano Refiner»' Pmfita.
"Immediately upon the establish
ment of die foo«1 administration." Mr
Hooves said, "an examination was
taade of the coats and profita off refin
ing and It was finally determined that
the spread between th« coet of raw
and the sale of rsfined cane sugar
should be Halted to |i.80 per hundred
pounds. The pre-war differential had
averaged about 8? vents aod increased
costa wer« found to have been Impos
ed by the war to Increased cost of re
fining, loafpR, dost of bags, labor, Insui^
anee, tntemst and other things, rather
more than rover the difference. After
prolonged negotiations the refiners
wer» plstvd finder »gmo/nent estab
lishing these limits on October 1, and
auythlng over this a meant to be agreed
extortionate under the law.
''In the cours» of th-w» Investiga
tions It was found by cwnvuas of the
Cuban producers that their sugar had,
during the first nine months of the
past year, sold for an average of about
14.24 per hundred t fi. h. Cuba, to
which duty and freight added to the
refiner«' eost amount to about 1966
per hundred. The avenge sale price
ef granulated by various refineries, ac
cording to eur investigation, was about
9T.60 par hundred, ef a differential of
11.64.
"Tn reducing the differential to ft.36
there was a wtvlng to the public of 54
eents per hundred. 1T«d *<»?h * dif
ferential beefi In use from the 1st of
January, HPT. tha public would have

year about |?i 306,000."
Next Year. •
With » view to wore efikient organ

2. A commli.ee comprising three rep

sentatives of the American refiuera,
with a member of tha food administra

arrived from Europe, but they repre
