Fields. Of Kentucky, and adopted by
he House on June 3ri last
The investigation was specially
directed toward asccrtaning the
cause Of falling prices The report
b. very voluminou. Among the
conclusions reached by the com
mission are the following
Prices paid growers for the cigar
types. bright southern. dark Virgin
ia. sun-cured and the Maryland ex-
port type during the season 1920,
on the whole. compared favcrably
with the season Of l9is-19
Prices paid growers for the bet-
ter grades Of hurley and certain u
'ta 'ari Western types last season
also compared favorably with prices
prevailing during the i9ls-19 sea
son.
after the opening Of the season
IN mos, 81 the sections producing
dark western and hurley types price,
for the common and low grades sui
fercd decline. and in some sec
tions before the end Of tn season be-
came demoralized. The define ia
the prices for the dark-fred ,obac-
COS was the most marked. As a
whole the average price for hurley
wa, about the same a. for the 1918
crop while for most dark western
type, % was considerably less than
for the preceding season"
The decline iu prices l. attribu-
table TO combination Of three fac
tors. which may be stated as fol
lows.
First Lcs,en.ng Of foreign pur-
chascs due TO unfavorable exchange
rates and the contraction u jomes
tie financial conditions
Second Increase IN quantity Of
low grades for domestic absorption,
due 20 crop conditions and falling
foreign markets
Third Purchasing methods Of
buyers.
The commission finds there Is no
uniform system Of grading leaf to-
bacco. which operates to the disad-
vantage Of both buyer and seller. e,
pec'ally The latter. The commission
recommends that a Federal system.
Of grading leaf tobacco beges;ablish-
ed by the Department Of A@ieul.t
ture, concerning which the commits
sion says:
II, is believed that this would
tend to stabilize market values un-

THE WEST LOSES

The is said to indicate not only more
rapid movement of population from country to city than
in former decades but phenomenon entirely new in Amer
lean hstory-a movement from west to east. Not that
residents have actually been turning back east in
dominating numbers but the easter population has been
growing proportion than the western that the
national center of population, hitherto always moving
farther west has shifted eastward.
The significance of this fact should be apparent to
everyone 1t fits in logically enough with the countryto
city movement, and indeed is part of it. lie that
urban population is growing at such rate to empty
merely the rural sections adjacent to large
ties but also to prevent the filling of the great
agricultural states The east is primarily industrial and
the primarily agricultural Industrial population is
gaining faster than at the of agricultural
population, and accordingly industrial production IS
gaining at the expense of food production.
This unsetement of course, cannot last. Every econ
oic maadustment tends to correct itself Scarcity and
expensiveness of food together with the growing of at
tracveness of rural fe will eventually turn the tide the
way and the equilibrium of industrial and
agricultural production But owing to the present abnor
NAL psychological appeal of city life and industrial
tons against rural life and farm work, it may take
long time and entail much hardship for society in general
before the adjustment made Much be accomplished
hasten the process by deliberate effort the part of
the federal and state and other pubic agen
cies back to the land campaign is needed today
