should exist, and will make possible
highly constructive measures in be-
half of the interests to be regulated.
while at the same time affording. the

That we claim no right to your con-
sidcration not shared by every ma

informality which has characterized
our first conference will persist in all
of the relations which We may have in
days to come

FOR AMERICAN RICE
Increase of Freight Rate, Mr. Dan

Foreign Competition.

CHICAGO, April o4-Objection to the
proposed advances in freight rates on
brewers rice from the southern fields

fore W. NJ. Daniels, interstate commerce
commissioner. in the hearing of the pc
tition of forty-one western railway svs-

as being still in its infancy in this
country
although rice has been grown in
America since IT'S, when $4,000 barrels
of 1t were raised" said Mr. Godchaux
ana the crop now averages 6.171 400
barrels year. its acreage could be
increased ten times"
u believe that if advances in freight
rates is granted there will be great
curtaliment in the use of domestic rice.
and the growers will suffer accord
lngly; said Mr. Godchaux. He also
complained OF present rates. which he
said were entirely too high and cf-
fectively shut domestic brewers rice
out OF many brewing centers.
Advance of Cents a Hundred.
The proposed advance on this COM
modify is ) cents a hundred from New
Orleans. interior Louisiana points,
Texas and Arkansas to st. Louis. and
an increase of one-half cent from the
same points to Chica go and Milwaukee
He said that after paving the duty
at Atlantic ports and the freight across
the country rice from India milleu in
Germany would be on an equality with
Louisiana rice at the St Louis market,
and the American grower would then
have to meet whatever reductions were
made in the imported grain because Of
its cheap production
INSTALLATION of these advances he
said, would place American rice grow
ers on a competitive basis with India
and Siam, where lower economic
standard of living rules Rice from
Asia is largely milled in Germany and
the German mills dominate the brew
ers' rice market"

LETTERS TO CLEMSON.

In seeking information or help from
Clemson College. farmers should ad-
dress the expert or officer in whose
line the point in question is, when
eyer possible. This will avoid delays
which are sometimes costly. This is
especially true Of such matters as In.
sect pests, plant diseases and animal
diseases, which can spread so rapidly.
In outbreaks of hog cholera, farmers
should either communicate immediate
ly wita the county demonstration
agent OF with the veterinary division
of Clemson College. Merely address
ing the college will get letter to It's
goal eventually, but sometimes delays
which are dangerous come about. It
is a good plan for farmer to keep
one of the experiment station bulletins
always at hand, as in the front Of
each OF these bulletins will be found
the experiment station staff, which
will serve as directory to any one
wishing to write to the college for In
formation.
