feeding THE MILL
+. -. E.PURE MECHANICS
Finely Shredded Cane Saves
Power and Makes More Sugar

The purely mechanical problem Of so
preparing cane that all the sugar in the
stalk can be extracted presents many
difficulties. II cane rOuId be fed side
ways into the rollers extreme tearing
and shredding of the stalk would re-,
suit. but the cane cannot be so fed be-
cause Of its crook edncss and the meth
oil Of delivery from either n hume or
cars.
Th mass, or blanket, passing through
the rollers should be of even thickness,
but this desideratum has been hard to
maintain because of the tangled web of
crooked cane stalks in the carrier. Cut,
ting the cane on the carrier by passing
it through q, set of rapidly revolving
knives makes il fall closer, but leaves
irregularities aud makes a thick and
thin blanket The same condition re-
suits, from the use of figured roller
crpshers.
Saving Power
If, the cape is dumped on the carrier
in uneven volume these humps and val.
leYs hold clear through the train.
Some parts of the blanket are subjected
to- enormous pressure while others in
the same linear plane pass through un.
der comparatively. light pressure.
Uneven feed in the carrier causes I'M
even strain and loss of power AS the
blanket passes through the rollers
Hence any change in the preparation of
the cane for milling that will tend to,
wards a more even distribution and un-
iformity in the feed marks an advance
towards more perfect, extraction and
better conservation Of power.
These are some Of the advantages
gained through usip4r the Searby shred.
der. The condition of the shredded
cane as it enters the first mill is much
more uniform and the blanket is there
force of more equal thickness. The adj.
vantages Of finely shire lded cane are
saying of power, increased extraction
and more sugar in the bag.

SUGAR SCHEDULE
=. MISREPRESENTATION

Willett & Gray's Washington CORE.
spondent supplies the following on the
tariff situation at Washington, Decem,
Der 2l:
1t is the general and confident ex.
pectation that steps will be taken dur
ing the, current session of congress to
continue the present rate. of duty on
sugar. Secretary. McAdoo is the pro-
ponent of this plan, as Of the best means
of maintaining revenue, and tn" Pres.
ident has assured congressional visitors
of the sugar states Of his support of
the policy.
1t is not possible to get in touch to-
night with, many members of congress
who will move in carrying the plan into
operation, but it is known to be the in
tention of the leading members of the
ways and means committee of the
house to take up the subject soon after
the recovering of congress, following
the holidays, and their expectation is
that a measure viii be enacted along
the lines Of the administration plan.
This legislation may be seized upon
by the Republicans in both houses as
basis for a general tariff discussion,
and action may thus be delayed, but if
is hoped by friends Of the proposed
measure that it will come in time to
prevent lapse of the duty. 1t is be,
lieved that Ultimately Republicans gen.
orally will accept this legislation in lieu
OF more liberal and more general tariff
increase, and that Democrats in con
gress will cOncede it as revenue neces,
sity. This is the general opinion of
members of congress, who predict legis.
latiOn unless some unforeseen obstacle
is encountered. ~

/, Following this on December 10, as q
part OF the democratic program, Sen.
ator Gore attempted to iptrodue a re
solution but was unable to secure fts
consideration under the rules, objection
being made thereto by Senators Smoot
and Gallinger.
Sugar, War and Peace
That portion Of this resolution relat
ing to sugar follows
Second. A duty of 3 cents per
pound on sugar.
Third. An excise tax of 1.2 cents per
pound on sugar produced in the United
States and its island possessions, to be
paid at the factory or refinery, por.
tion Of the latter tax equal to seven.
tenths Of ! cent per pound 20 be sus.
pended by presidential proclamation up
on the signing of protocol looking to
the establishment Of peace among the
nations Of Europe now at war. - y
The other two. provisions are for a
ten cents per pound duty on tea and
a twenty-five cents per horse power tax
on automobiles. III
Both Ends Against Middle
The Gore resolution was again brought
up on December 10, then withdrawn and
the following substitute submitted and
adOpted, wv
"Resolyed, That the Secretary of the
Treasury is directed to submit to the
Senate an estimate of the probable re-
venue to be derived from the following
duties and excise taxes, to wit:
/ First. A duty of 10 cents per pound
on tea.
Second. A duty of Ia. cents per pound
on sugar,
Third. An excise tax Of ] cent per
pound on sugar produced in the United
states and its island possessions, ~,
Fourth. An excise tax of % cents per
horsepower on the production of auto
mobiles, to be paid by the manufae-
turer. ~.
MARITIME Excited
Senator MARITIME said that he opposed
further duties on sugar or any at all
on sugar. Senator Gore said the intent
was simply to ask for information. Sen
ator Penrose asked, " would il delay
this matter unduly if it was referred to
the committee on finance3'
Mr.. Gore repeated that all he wanted
was information.
Innocuoris, Gays Penrose
Then Penrose said It "certainly is an
excellent custom to be followed anyhow,
to refer resolution of inquiry to
committee so as to prevent the intro,
duction of idle, impertinent, and use
less resolutions Of inquiry. do not
mean for moment to say that this
resolution comes within that description
but being firmly convinced that /. il

In that form the resolution was then
adopted.
