price, and their persistence has re-
duced Cuban demands by is cents per
hundred. The price agreed upon Is
about S4.6O per hundred pounds, I. o. b.
Cuba, or equal to about Sc duty paid
New York.
"ThIs price should eventuate,"
Mr.. Hpover said, "to about $3.50
per hundred for refined sugar from
the refners at seaboard points or
should place sugar In the hands Of
the consumer at from 6H to Q
cents per pound, depenuina upon
locality and conditions Of trade, or
at from to 2 cents below the
prices Of August last and from one
half to cent per pound cheaper
than today.
"There Is now an elimination Of
speculation, extortionate profits, and
In the refining alone the American
people will save over S25,000,000 Of
the refining charges last year. A part
of these savings goes to the Cuban,
Hawaiian, Porto Rican and Lousianian
producer and part to the consumer.
Appeals to prejudice against the
food administration have been made
because the Cuban price is "a cents
above that Of 1917. 1t is said In effect
that the Cubans are at our mercy /;
that we could get sugar a cent lower.
We made exhaustive study of the cost
of producing sugar In Cuba last year
through our own agents in Cuba, and
we find 1t averages $3.50. while many
producers are at higher level. We
found that an average profit of at
least a cent per pound was necessary
in order to maintain and stimulate
production or that a minimum price of
$4.37 was NECESSARY, and even this
would stifie SOME producers.
"The price ultimately agreed was %
cents above these figures, or about one
fifth Of cent per pound to the Ameri-
can consumer, sGf more than this
amount has been saved by our reduc-
tion In refiners' profits. liz we wish to
stif1e production In Cuba we could
take that course just at the time of all
times in our history when we want
production for ourselves and the al
lies. Further than that, the state de-
partment will assure you that such a
course would produce disturbances In
Cuba and destroy even our present
supplies, but beyond all these material
reasons is one of human justice. This
great country has no right by the
might of its position to strangle Cuba.
Therefore there is no imposition
upon the American public. Charges
have been made before this commit
tee that Mr.. Rolph endeavored to ben
eft the California refinery of which he
was manager by this "a cent increase
in Cuban price. Mr.. Rolph did not fix
the price. 1t does raise the price to
the Hawaiian farmer about tina,
amomt. 1t does not raise the profit OF
the California refinery, because their
charge for refining is. like all other re-
finers, limited to $1.30 per hundred
/ pounds, plus the freight differential on
the established custom Of the trade.

SOLUTION OF FLOUR PROBLEM
Wheat Can Be Ground at Community
Mills and Farmer Enabled
70 Get Benefit.

One Of the most serious problems
confronting the food administration IL
that Of transportation. This is par
ticularly so during the late summer and
fall months. Along about the first of
August grain crops are started NOV
ing and millions of bushels Of wheat
are offered to the railroads. With
wheat and the winter stock of coal to
carry the roads are usually swamped.
There Is shortage of rolling stock
and consequent congestion.
This freight congestion can be re-
lieved In a great measure by milling
the wheat at home and thousands of
freight cars diverted to the transpOrta-
ton Of other necessary commodities.
Incidentally it would relieve us of the
cost Of carrying. the worry Of chang
Ing prices, commissions, etc.
Every community needs -four mill.
Not only for districts where wheat is
grown, but even in localities where
wheat growing has almost become a
lost art. the community mill has re-
vived the industry. The small mill is
coming into its own again and the
farmer is enabled to realize about one
third more for his grain.
Wheat bread is quite necessary to
our home workers and this can be
ground at the home mills and still have
enough for our own armies and our
allies.

KIDNEY TROUBLE NOT

Applicants for Insurance Oftea
Rejected

An examining physician for one Of the
prominent life insurance companies. in an
interview of the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
90 many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is 30 com
mon to the American people, and the large
majority Of those whose applications are

Judging from report from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with

these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is

its remarkable record of success.

an herbal compound and we would ad-
wise our readers who feel in need of such q

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture)
Growers of sugar beets are urged to
give special care to their beets during
the growing season In order that the
yields may be increased. and in this
way add to the nations supply of
sugar. There is every indication that
normal crop has been planted this
year In nearly all sugar-beet states. In
the past the average yield of beets per
acre in the United States has been ap-
proximately ten tons, yet yields Of
10 to 20 tons are not uncommon. II
the 100000 acres of beets which were
planted last year all had been carried
To maturity and an increase of but
one ton per acre had been produced by
more careful methods. we would have
had 100000 tons of beets In excess of
the normal crop. which would have
added 100000 tons to our supply Of
sugar.
As soon as the beets have from
four to six leaves they should be block
ed and thinned. so that the plants

inches apart. Careless blocking and
thinning is responsible In part for low
yields. This Ia readily preventable.
Likewise careless cultivation reduces
the number Of plants and thereby cuts
down the tonnage. This is also pre-
ventable. When the beets are harvest
ed there is frequently unnecessary
loss due to the breaking of the roots
when the beets are lifted and by I'M
proper topping. II the beets are not
delivered Immediately after they are
removed from the ground, further loss
can be prevented by covering them 70

cold they should be sufficiently pro-
tected so that the roots will not be
frosted.
Labor is one Of the principal factors
influencing acreage, as more labor is
required in the growing of sugar beets
than most other farm crops. From all

would be possible to secure the serv-
