SUGAR TRUST IS BLAMED
FOR KEEPING UP PRICE
Congressional Report Says
Activities Include Sitting of
Competition
CIV Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, Feb. T.-Declaring the
existence of sugar trust" the COM
mittee of which Representative Hard
wick, of Georgia, is chairman, which
has been investigating the sugar indus
try for many months today reported its
findings to the house. Although finding
the existence of strikingly developed
evils in the sugar industry, including
the sitting of competition, the commit
tee makes no recommendation for re-
dial legislation to cure the alleged evils.
the report suggests, however, that this
phase of the matter is one within the
jurisdiction of one official special stand
ing committees of the the house.
AS to the effect of the combine on the
cost of sugar to the consumer, the
committee expresses the belief that
monopoly keeps the price up. but makes
no attempt to fix accurately the extent to
which reasonable prices that might exist
under competitive conditions are exceeded.
The report severely condemns the orig
inal promoters of the sugar trust.
The committee charges that since the
organization Of the American Sugar Re-
filming company in 1891, it has repeatedly
violated the Sherman law. And yet
no serious attempt was made (prior to
November, 1870, to invoke the civil rem
edies provided Ivy the antitrust law
against the corporation" says the report.
1T is also to be noted that the govern
ment has not even up to the present
time so far as has appeared, made any
effort to enforce the penal provisions of
the Sherman law"
Twenty-one actions in the organization
and operation of the sugar trust which
the committee believes were violations of
the Sherman law are enumerated.
The report discusss the doctrines of
government regulation of prices, but dis
courages it, saying competition and in
dividuality are the great remedies that
have been sufficient through all the ages
to protect us from the evils that now
threaten. We are not yet ready to write
en- epitaph over either"
The committee estimates that 62.39 per
cent of the sugar business is controlled
by the combine. 1t also finds that the
trust has a large interest in the beet
sugar end of the business. With its
strongest competitor, Arbuckle brothers,
there is said to be a condition of
armed neutrality" The committee re-
ports that in 1910 the worlds supply of
sugar was 100000 tons, of which sos
per cent was best sugar.
The largest sugar-consuming eoun-
tries of the world were the United King
dom 1858 pounds per capital and the
United States (s1.6 pounds per capital.

PLANTING COTTON AFTER WHEAT

W. N. R., Milton county, Georgia,
writes: have three acres of land that

twenty bushels to the acre without any

which were turned under in the fall with
a two-horse pillow. This is red land
with good red clay subsoil. wish to

know what kind of fertilizer to use

Atlanta semi-weekly journal. (Atlanta, Ga.) 1898-1920, 1912-02-20

You acted wisely in growing peas after
your wheat, and turning the whole crop
under for the enrichment of the land.
Keep up this practice and inaugurate a
systematic rotation on your farm as soon
as possible and you will be surprised
how the soil will respond to good treat
ment which provides for the turning UNI
der of green crops not less than once
in two or three years. 1t will not be
necessary to break this land again be-
fore planting. You should disk it, how
ever, and put IT in good condition before
planting. Lay off your rows in four or
four and a half foot rows. Open wide
deep furrow and put in 500 pounds of a
9-3-4 formula. Then scatter such ma
naure or compost as you have available
in the drill row, Mix well with the
slbsoil by means of bull tongue and
bed thereon and plant your cotton, using
a variety which has given the best re-
suits in your community. About month
or six weeks after planting use a side
application OF the formula mentioned
above. II may be necessary to use nj
trate of soda on this crop, but we doubt
it very much, as you will have supplied
a considerable amount of nitrogen in
the pea crop and also In the yard ma

plan to follow.
