CAUTION GIVEN
DRUG GROWERS

when produced in any volume, must
compete in price with imported cam
phor. 1t is impossible, therefore, TO
estimate what prices growers could
obtain for their product after full i'm
portatiOns arc resumed. This is es-
Decially true because prices for i'm
ported CamphOr in the past have been
regulated more or less by foreign CON
troll which, In the face Of domestic
competition, might make important re-

charged for the imported article, I'M

In addition TO the products men

drugs, oils and spices which are i'm

this country to produce for itself In
the aggregate the value Of these i'm

the figures indicate that this country
has been bringing in and using about
$25,OOO,OO0 annually Of the various
drugs, oils aud condiments made By
most people who consider raising these
crops is that they are inclined to con

the domestic demand for them is rcla-
lively small, and no foreign market
has been developed for them by Ameri-
cans.
Same Room.
At the same time those in charge OF
the work realize that here and there
in our agriculture, where soil and eli
matte and other conditions are right
there is room for certain small indus
tries. For many years there has been
distinct tendency for agricultursts
10 direct their energies along limited
lines. This is indicated most clearly
by certain types of agriculture pre-
vailing in the South. where the farm
ers have confined their efforts very
largely to the cultivation of single
crop
These small crops may therefore Of

degree the activities of capital and la

Old age comes quick enough without
inviting it. Some look old at forty.
That is because they neglect the liver
