ferer, losing Eve COWS from herd
OF twelve. other small farmers in
the same section have lost from one
to three animals. A veterinarian
examined the dead cattle and found
indications OF arsenic. The county
officers notified the federal authori-

The examination proved that the
poison was administered in the feed,
consisting of ground ssrn and wheat

WHILE BEET GROWERS LOST

Los Angeles, Cal, December q
Profits OF about 100000 on an in
vestment of 100000 were made by
one beet-sugar refinery in Southern
California last year, while beet grow
ers lost money, according to a tele-
gram sent Friday to President Will
son and Food Administrator Hoover
by District Attorney Thomas Lee
Woolwine as the result of county
grand jury investigating of sugar
beet growing industry.
Another refinery, with an invest
ment of $3.50, 900, made a net pro
IT of between 100000 and $1,000,
600 on prices much lower than those
approved recently by the government
the telegram said.
Farmers are refusing to plan
beets, and relief for the serious sit
uation can come only from govern
meAt action, it was stated.
