BEET SUGAR 1 NEN |

Gosernmsnt Prices Not 0ppdssd, sss
Proposition to Grant DilFerentiaI
In Favor Of Cane Sugar

Yesterdays Portland papers con-
tanned the statement that the Utah
beet sugar producers. including the
utah-Idaho company. were sending
a delegation to Washington to pro-
test against Food Administrator
Hoover's price Of s7.25 per hundred
on sugar.
Regarding the same. Alex Nibley,
local manager Of the Utah-Idaho
company says:
The dispatch from Salt Lake to
the effect that the independent sugar
producers throughout the inter-
mountain-country are not satisfied
with the price Of s7.25 q hundred
tentatively fixed by Herbert G. Hoo
yer, food administrator. is mislead-
Ing.
Eighty per cent OF the beet sugar
producers voluntarily offered to
make the reduction from 1926 to
1928 a hundred, and my father was
one of the men who took this offer
to Mr.. Hoover and fixed up the price
with the latter. Mr.. Hoover com
plimented father and the other sugar
beet producers for their patriotism
and generosity in voluntarily max
ing this reduction which means q
saving Of so. 100000 to- the sugar
consumers Of the country. He also
wrote complimentary letter to the
same effect and have copy Of It.
But what the sugar beet pro-
ducers do object to and will try to
have rectified is the 20 per cent diff
ferential in favor OF the cane sugar
producers. This differential is all
wrong. for sugar is sugar. and hard
ly any chemists even can tell the
difference between beet and. cane
sugan It is beyond by understand
ing why this diiferential should be
allowed.
IF the cane sugar interests win
make a similar reduction per hun.
dred as have the sugar beet inter
ests, the sugar consumers of the
country will be saved another $25.-

POULTRY AND Eeos.

BY Il. X. Lloyd, Director Cooperative Ext'n
Work
With poultry and egg prices high
err than ever before at this season
and indications that they will go
still higher, Southern farmers have
an excellent opportunity to make
the farm poultry flock paving side
line this year and next, according TO
h. +. Clayton, poultry husbandman
OF the Mississippi A. and M. Col
lege. 1t is not yet too late to grow
chickens and feed stuffs in this sec
ton 10 insure a good egg crop next
year. In this connection Mr.. Clayton
says
Hens are worth zoe pound on
the market, making the average hen
worth one dollar for table use, and
eggs are worth 30c wholesale with
indications pom ting to still higher
price next year. There is vet plenty
OF time to raise pullets for next
spring eggs, and all of the principal
feed crops can be grown from
paintings made now or next fall.
Corn, sunflowers, soybeans, cow
peas, velvet beans, and peanuts are
among the feeds that should be
planted now, with oats and wheat
sown in the fall to furnish winter
craving and grain for next summer
feelings. 100 hens properly han
died may bring more profit than
two bales of cotton this year.
