Flour Milling in French Republic

In the following reports, written at
Marseilles, February 10. Special Agent
NJ. n. Davis describes the flour indus

tho opinion that good trade in Ameri.

Medltcrranean ports. The report fol

Flour making in France is the most
important industry in tho country in
amount OF capital invested and value of
annual output. The political Influence
OF the industry is not only powerful,
but 1t Is sufficiently concentrated by
effective organization to be watchful

support and encourage it. The chief
product of the soil is wheat. Tho chief
food of the people is bread. To meet
their requirement in this respect moro
wheat IS needed per capita than in any
other European country, save Belgium.
Ordinarily, France produces wheat
enough to feed her people and to enter
INTO the export flour trade as well. The
annual per capita food consumption fig
ures slightly less than seven and a half
bushels of wheat.
Under existing laws there is no pos
sibIlity Of flour from the United States
or from any other country entering
France for consumption in tho country,
except in event of a serious crop short
age. Only two years Of insufficient
homo supplies have occurred in the
last twenty years, once in 1891 and
again in 1898. Then tho conditions
were met, as they would be again un-
der lko circumstances, by relaxing the
protective laws sufficiently to meet the
need for the importation Of foreign
wheat. The miIlcrs of France, not
those of any other country, would then
profit by such relaxation, for it is not
at all likely that flour would be grant

Yeild of Sugar in the Island of Cuba.

Consul General James L. Rodgers
writes from Habana, under date of Feb
ruary IL, concerning the yield of sugar in
Cuba:
The current statistics as to expectation
and the local stock of 1863 sugar up to
February l show that STAB bags. or
l20,353 tons, have been exported. and that
stocks consisted of I5i.423 bags, or l0I.-
77a tons, making total for the period OF
233,1 12S tons to which must be added $3.50
tons consumed locally since the openine

up to the same date was 1Il,4i2 tons, and
of 1907 $780, 47l tons. II the grinding sea-

Recently in conversation with q man
who has had considerable experience In
selling certain classes of goods to farm
ers at their homes in the county, he
said it was little remarkable how
much more goods could be sold by call
ing at the homes with the goods than
by setting the goods on shelf in q re-
tail store and waiting for the people to
come into the store and buy.
When you stop to think for moment
there is nothing remarkable about this
fact, Many retail merchants buy goods
place them upon their shelves and than,
instead OF telling the people through
advertisement, what they have and what
its many good qualities are. they con-
tent themselves with simply advertising
the fact that they are engaged in GER
tain line Of business. .snd cxpset the
people to come in and find out for them
selves what kind Of goods they are car
rying.
On the other hand the man who takes
the goods to the homes Of the people,
shows them what he has for sale and
advertises his goods by explaining to
them the many good qualities Of the
goods and they buy and buy literally.
In al! probability the local merchants
have had on their shelves equally a.
satisfactory goods but many Of the peo-
pie have not purchased them simply
because they did not know that the
goods could be had there and did not
know the good qualities Of the goods.
The whole matter resolves itself into
this fact; Advertising pays" The
travelling salesman advertises his goods
to the very best of his ability while in
too many instances the merchant does
not give the care and attention to his
advertising that he should.
Yes" says some merchant, but
advertising does not pay anyhow" OF
course il don't pay unless you give II
the same care and attention that you
give 10 other departments OF your busi-
ness. Ii don't pay to put q general
business ad in n paper and then never
give it any more attention. A general
advertisement is good as far as It goes
but it stops long way short OF what
il should be to bring the possible re-
suits. Tell the people what you have
and keep telling them and emphasize
your telling. The department stores
and the mail order houses and even the
peddler do not stop by simply telling
the people. in general way. that they
are engaged in certain line Of busi-
ness. They 20 into details and inform
the people what they have and the
good qualities and they make advertis-
ing pay. too.

Hon. John Mccoy who represents this
representative district in the state leg
stature, in recent communication to
the Wray Gazette, states that, among
the bills introduced by him, is one call
ing for an amendment to the constitu-
ton of the state that will permit the
membership of the state legislature to
be increased from 100 members to l5O
members, 100 in the house and SO in the
senate. He gives as his reason for SO
doing the fact that he believes that
each county should have representa-
tive.
This bill should not pass and, if it
should pass. when the voters get a
chance at that proposed constitutional
amendment they will snow it under SO
deep that it will no: be heard from a.
gain for years to come.
There ia no call whatever for any in
crease in the membership Of the state
tfegis1aofie. n tne-vorefs OF this state
cannot select 65 members of the house
and 35 state senator's who are able to
give the state all needed legislation,
then they would certainly not be able
to attain the desired end by increasing
this number so per cent. II the mem
bers of the legislature are there for no
other object than to do good work for
their constituents, the present number
of Legislators could not be improved on.
There is no call for each county having
representative in the legislature. The
small counties Of the state have Jared
reasonably well with one representa-
tive for three counties and the voters
are content to let well enough alone in
that line.
No, this is one Of the numerous bills
introduced at the present session of the
