for the labels for the present fiscal year
Is held by the Howard Label Company.
In which George E. Howard is largely
interested
Formation of Company.
The Howard Label Company was
of Washington, New York. Pitsburg,
and Chicago. and Mr.. Howard was paid
large sum of money, and given large
block Of stock in consideration OF turn
ing his patents on the label over to the
company.
1T Is my understanding that this COM
pany was formed and financed on the
strength of the contract with the De-
partment of Agriculture for supplying
meat inspection labels This was un-
doubtedly the principal. If not the only,
asset of the business, but / Go not find
that any improper assurances were Civ
en- either to Mr.. Howard or to the men
who composed the Howard Label Com
pany that the Government would con-
tinue to use the label
Mr. Howard, as before stated. used
a portion of the money which he re-
ceived from the label company to pay
his Indebtedness to Dr. Salmon An
exhaustive examination OF the check
books. deposit slips, minute books OF
the directors and stockholders. and OF
q very large proportion CT the original
stock certificates, and other evidence
which has come to me- fail to show
that DR. Salmon now holds, or ever
has held any stock. either directly or
Indirectly, in the Howard Label Com
pany or that he has benefited financially
from the organization or business of
said company, except as hereinbefore
stated"
In arriving at his conclusions in the
investigation Mr.. McCabe obtained evil
Gence from the Howard Publishing Com
panys attorneys. Daniel E. Fox, 8. e
Burch. chief clerk of the department;
George E Howard. of the Howard Pub
fishing Company; Mrs. Katherine q.

mon; George w. Hill chief of the divi-
sion Of publications. and DR.. d. E. Sal

In investigating the meat inspection

As to the Labels.

Secretary of Agriculture on June IA.

II looks as though some one whose

Our Home Grown sugar.

1t does not require long array of
figures to show the wonderful progress
which the sugar industry has made in
the United States in the past twenty
years. In 1879 the area planted TO sugar
cane was 227 900 acres and 1880 acres
in 1899 The latest returns we have from
Louisiana complete as to area are those
of l90l-02. when the acreage was 239 450.
or more than twice what II was in 1884.
Though Louisiana has the greatest nrea
OF sugar land in the continental United
States. the industry has been followed
with a considerable degree OF success in
others Of the Gulf states and even in
Georgia and South Carolina. The beet
sugar industry has so grown and pros
pered despite reciprocity and rumors OF
reciprocity that its development is almost
phenomenal. The acreage devoted tn
sugar beet culture i'm these United States
was 7155 acres in 1912. and last year
was 292,295 acres. In the same period beet
sugar production rose from 12,204. S3S
pounds to 466. 222. 900 pounds. Together
cane and beet of their own raising sup
piled the people of the United States with
about 1000. 600. 900 out of the almost G.
600, 100000 pounds OF sugar they con
sumed last year.
