Their Representative Before
Committee Of Agriculture
DENOUNCES MUCKRAKERS
Opposes Payment of Inspection
Fees-Cood Reports Come
From Chicago

WASHINGTON, d. c., June ct.
E. Wilson, representing the Chicago
packers has invited the house COM
mittee on agriculture to visit the
plants and the invitation may be ac-
cepted.
He read a statement favoring the
extension of the inspection system and
sanitary regulations and endorsed
that recommendation in the Neill-Rey-
nolds report, but objected to the pack
ers' paying the inspection fee.
Wilson and Neill clashed when Will
son denied the incident in the report
of a hog slipping into privy. Neill
reiterated that 1t happened In one Of
the largest establishments, but he
would not say which one. Wilson OBJ
jected to taking the packers business
out Of the packers hands and placing
it in the hands of theorists and chem
lists. He denied that meat is repro
cessed."
The packers representative said
that borax is not used in curing hams.
only saltpetre and sugar and no other
preservative than to pickle them.
Dyes are used in sausage castings only
and do not penetrate the meat. Dis
eased carcasses are turned into soap
or fertilizer and never into lard.
The president is pleased over the
Chicago report that the packers are
cleaning up as a result of the Neill-
Reynolds report and that the packers
lobby is disturbed over the reports that
the president is planning another in
vestigat1on relating to authorizations.
A violent shake-up in the agricultural
department is expected. The fact that
government inspectors allowed filth to
gather under their eyes and the recent
report from the bureau of animal indus
try that everything was clean and SAN
itary has placed the department in a
bad light since the Neill- l-Reynolds re-
port. 1t shows the president that Sec
retary of Agriculture Wilson has been
imposed upon.
Representative Babcock, former
chairman of the republican congress
sional committee has been subpoenaed
and will testify before the New York
grand jury investigating campaign
contributions from life insurance COM
panies.

PRESIDENT SMITHS ADVICE TO
THE FARMERS.

President Smith, of the State
Cotton Growers Association, as
published in Wednesdays issue
of The News, gave out state.
ment this week in which he ap.
peals TO the farmers not to sac
rifice their cotton by selling at
present prices. He construes the
last ginners' report as bullish
one. He says it shows that the
crop is undoubtedly short, and
in his opinion if the farmers will
but hold their cotton they will
certainly realize 12t cents per
pound for it. Upon these points
Mr.. Smith says:
"The next ginners' report, |
am confident, will show that our
Contention that the crop is short,
is true. Last week and the week
before the mills and the cotton
buyers gave l l cents readily for
cotton. If they could afford to
buy it then at that figure, it is
worth that much now, for the
reason that they had placed
their contracts months ahead
and could afford to give II cents
and show a handsome profit.
"There is no reason why you,
the farmers of the South, should
sacrifice what cotton you do sell
them, because somebody predict
ed there was much larger crop
Demand from them that they
shall give for what you do sell
them from now on, what they
have been paying for it for the
last two or three weeks at least.
Cotton is worth today on the
markets, in view Of the price
and the scarcity of goods, II 1-2
cents a pound If the farmers
will just absolutely refuse to sell
it for less, this price can be OBJ
tanned for the balance of this
crop.
"Of course everything depends
upon the unanimity with which
they hold cotton.
AS Mr.. Smith says, all depends
r~on the farmers themselves.
