Fine Yield of Grass Seed.

Missouri has this year har-
vested the best crop of "Ken-
lucky bluegrass seed in her
history. The shipment from
one Knox county town in
Northeast Missouri is estimated
at 100000 bushels, as compared
with $500 0last year. One Jack
son county farmer harvested
1000 bushels and would have ha
800 more but for a storm at har-
vest time. A ''stripper" a
spiked-cylinder arrangement, is
used in harvesting the seed.

of Importance, especially in
Southwest Missouri. This crop
is harvested with a binder, shock.
ed like wheat, and later thresh-
ed. The yield runs from 4 to
u bushels per acre, IA pounds
constituting a bushel. The price
IS variable-from 5 to IA cents
per pound, although it has sold
as high as $3.50 per hundred
weight.
Another grass seed crop of
Missouri is English bluegrass,
grown in Henry, st. Clair and
other counties Of hat section
Wesley Griffith was a pioneer
grower, and his daughter whose
home is in Henry county has
many acres of the grass. This
year five ear loads have beer

Why Brown Sugar Disappeared.

SNO II S0'
Perhaps you have noticed
that the old fashioned brown
sugar, like our mothers used to
cook with, has practically dis
appeared from the market.
There is a reason. This rea-
son consists of a "joker" in
the Payne-Aldrich tariff law,
in the form of a color test
known as Clutch Standard
No. 49," When this test was
fixed it meant the barring out
Of the old fashioned brown
sugar, cheap and good, and that
is why this brand of sugar has
disappeared from the market.
Whenever a tariff bill is in the
making the agents of the sugar
trust are on hand to see that
the Clutch Standard" is
maintained, and they had no
difficulty in getting the makers
Of the Payne-Aldrich law to
aceede to their wishes.

The work of this committee

The Republican platform re-

has been an increase in the
cost of living in the United
States, but seeks to egenerate
our system of excessive pro.
lection with the statement that
prices have increased all over
the world. This is true, BIZ. il
Is also true that the increase
has been more than twice as
great in this country, under
Payne-Aldrichism, than in free

Here is a query that every
protectiOnist in the land is in

States official reports show
that the average wholesale price
of sugar in London averaged
two cents per pound less dur.

New York. The Payne-Aldrich
tax on sugar is approximately
two cents per pound. In Eng
