THE SUGAR INDUSTRY.

The first copies of the sugar report
of the Department of Commerce have
been received from the printer, being
Miscellaneous Series No. 8 of the
Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Com
merce. 1t is of unusual interest, as il
is the first Federal report of a Ma
tional character on the costs of plant.
ing, cultivating, and harvesting an
agricultural product. 1t is also the
first report on the costs and processes
of manufacture of raw cane sugar.
1t tells of the first planting of stalks
of cane from Hispaniola in Louisiana
in 1851; of the experiments resulting
in the granulation of sugar in 1871.
and of its successful production in
1895; of the scientific methods ap.
piled in recent years in field and fac.
tory; of the drainage of the soil, and
the results of rotating crops and fer
tilizing; of the methods of planting,
cultivating, and harvesting the cane
and their costs; of the results on large
plantations and on small tenant farms;
of the Creole as an owner and tenant:
of negroes as tenants, and of the COM
parative efficiency and reliability of
the Creole, the Italian, and the negro
as plantation laborers.
The report shows that the labor
cost on the plantation is over so per
cent of the total agricultural cost,
while the factory labor cost is 46 per
cent Of the manufacturing cost.
Eight per cent OF the employees on
the plantations, including overseers
and mechanics, receive from $3.50 to
$500 per day; 70 per cent from Is
cents to 1925; and 10 per cent from
40 cents to 65 cents per day. Eleven
per cent of the employees in the fac.
tory receive $500 and over per day;
81 per cent from $3.50 to $2.75, and s
per cent from so cents to $125 per
day.
The total cane acreage of Louisiana
is 329,6S4. The sugar beet acreage
in 1910 was 420,262 acres.
The rural population of the sugar.
producing parishes of Louisiana is AL
per cent of that of the State, and in
ten of these parishes the cane acre
age is over 30 per cent Of the improved
acreage.

WHO DISTRIBUTES THE PIE?

According to Washington dispatches
several members of the Texas delega
ton have put on their war paint anC
will reach for the scalp of Alder
Burleson unless that gentleman speed
lily mends his ways. One instance will
illumine the situation.
The Postmaster General has an
nounced that he will not appoint John
M. Loggins postmaster of Ennis, in
Ellis County. Loggins had the endorse
ment of Representative Beall. Mr.
Beall's endorsement was given as the
result of Loggins selection in a pri
mary for the postmastership. He re.
ceived almost as many votes in this
referendum as four other candidates
received combined. Another primary
was planned, but before it could be
held the other candidates withdrew in
Loggins' favor.
Mr.. Beall says the Postmaster Gen
eral today read him parts of several
letters from persons in Ennis charging
that Loggins made remarks about
Woodrow Wilson in the pre-convention
campaign that were dsrespectful. The
Postmaster General refused to tell Mr..
Real from whom the letters came.
One letter said Loggins once re-
marked, "The only time l will say any
thing good about Woodrow wilson is
in closet with the door shut
Mr.. Beall says there has been no
opportunity to disprove this, and that
the Postmaster General peremptorliy
told him Loggins would not be ap-
pointed postmaster.
Now here's the question which TINS
situation creates: Do the postmaster
ships and the other offices come under
the jurisdiction of the executive de-
nartment or are they the property OF
the Senators and Representatives.
