The LAWS
Regarding Weights And
Measures Not ObGyGd
People Don't Know How To
Buy Food Products

Dairy and Food Commissioner
Strobe OF Columbus has issued the
following bulletin in reference 20 the
weights and measures laws. which
are held in contempt by some deal
ers:
Occasionally dealer in food pro-
ducts in this state is found who per-
sistently violates the weights and
measures laws, and who insists that
he will sell by measure or in any
manner that pleases him. no matter
what the wishes of the purchaser are.
State Dairy and Food Commissioners
Strobe is determined to make ex-
amples in such cases, whenever they
are brought to his knowledge.
A dealer at GAINESVILLE had occasion
last week to change his mind when
he was arrested and fined on two
charges made against him by Chief
Inspector of Weights and Measures
Albrecht of Commissioner Surode's
department.
This dealers name was p. o. Power
and he had been notified several
times by city and county weights and
measures officials that he was selling
food products in violation of law He
arrogantly insisted that the law was
of no force or effect and challenged
the officials to prosecute him.
Deputy Sealer Roney OF Musking-
um county reported the following
facts to the state department last
week:
Mr.. Oscar Morgan. bookkeeper for
the GAINESVILLE Gas Company, purchas-
ed a peck of sweet potatoes of p. O.
Power and insisted on having them
weighed, demanding twelve and one
half pounds, as required by law. Mr.,
Power laughed and said the law was
a joke, reported Mr.. Roney. The deal
er said Mr. Morgan could take the
measure of potatoes for a peck or
leave them alone, just as he chose.
Mr.. Morgan was angered and took the
potatoes and paid for them. He had
them weighed at different stores, and
in each instance they weighed but
ten and one-half pounds. Mr. Morgan
then reported the facts to the county
sealer, who communicated with the
state department.
Power was again notified to sell
his products according to law and
was again informed what the law re,
! quired OF him. He still insisted that
he would he a law unto himself,
Deputy State Sealer Albrecht then
went to GAINESVILLE and made two pur
chases of Power and both We're illega
sales Two ahldavits We're filed
against Power, one charging him with
knowingly selling a short-weight pecb
of sweet potatoes by measurement
instead OF by weight Warrants were
ISSUED and when Power was brought
before Mayor Shoiield he had mellow
ed down considerably. He pleaded
guilty to both charges and paid q
fine of $1,000 and costs in each case
The weights and measures law is
not a dead letter, and ii purchasers
everywhere will follow the example
of Mr. Morgan by asking Tor definite
quantities and report all violations
of the law to the county auditor ol
city sealer, 1t will not be long unit
purchasers will receive what they
pay for. State Sealer STROBE will dc
everything in his power to enforc,
the law and the purchasing public
can be of great assistance ii they viii
insist on receiving full legal weight.

BEET
Culture To Solve Problem OF
Monopoly In Sugar

Des Moines. Ia, Nav 11-Accordfng
to a report prepared here by H. A.
Wallace Of Wa1Iace's Farmer after an
investigation OF the beet sugar in
dustry in Iowa. It is possible for the
afrmers of this state TO produce all
their own sugar in a manner that
would obviate the danger of domin1-
tion by the trust BY the utilization Of
only one acre in every 200 of their
agricultural area.
He goes to the extent even of say
ing that the same results could be OBJ
tanned in practically all the corn
growing states. Not only is this the
case. but the experience of European
countries in beet culture shows that
the soil would be greatly benefited by
the use OF this crop in rotation with
others and the yield of all would be
greatly increased.
The net profit from an acre Of corn
is estimated by Mr.. Wallace at 50.
while the average net return from su-
gar beets is placed at S25 an acre. The
use Of $4,000 acres of Iowa land in
beet growing, he figures. besides in
creasing the farmers profits from the
area by $l,660,0O0 would supply all
the sugar consumed in the state,
would mean the employment of 3d.
600 persons in the industry within the
state. the payment of S1.00O,000 year
to the railroads, much of which would
remain in the state. the encourage
ment of tho live stock industry, the
pulp and tops being recognized as an
excellent stock food. and the improve
ment of the yield of other crops and
of the general fertility of the soil
Considering Iowa as a typical state
in this respect, and it is said by the
experts of the department of agricul-
ture to be only one of IS states in
which sugar can be cultivated profita-
bly,. it would follow that the farmers
of the United States can grow all the
sugar consumed in the country by de-
voting to this purpose only one acre
in POO of the area adapted to this pur-
pose, or one acre in % once in every
four years. II this were done ii would
add directly more than $l00,000,000 to
the profits realized by the farmers of
the country.
That the farmers would not be the
only class to benefit by the home pro-
duction of sugar is shown by other
facts recently gathered in connection
with this industry The sugar which
is imported is a product on which
nearly all the labor has been per
formed in foreign country. and it is
OF comparatively slight benefit to
American industry.
In refining the 3,14S,StS short tons
of raw sugar imported and consumed
in 1910, there accrued to American in
dustry in labor, brokerage. fuel. bone
| black. bags. barrels and all other sup
plies SO a ton. or S20,404,54o, while
in producing but 51t.S40 tons OF re
fined sugar from American grown
beets there accrued to American in
dustry S2S,3SS,0OO. ON the basis of ) 81
cents pound average cost.
To import all sugar and merely re-
fine il in this country would coutrib-
ute only $22.Si2.00O to American I'M
dustry, while to produce the same
amount OF sugar rom Ameriean-growu
bets would contribute S274.54I,oO0
