II is pointed out that last year the
same advice was given, and for the
most part went unheeded IN this sec
ton. During the coolest part OF the
winter, the fuel shortage became so
grave throughout the county, that
here. as well as in Twin Falls and

meager supply.

coal during the early SUMMER. be-
fore crops begin TO move.
The warning was not generally re-

PRICE OF SUGAR
CONTINUES HIGH
Prospects Never Better for Big Pro-
duction OF Sugar Beefs Locally,
Says Representative of
Amaigamated Go.

The sugar beet crop In this section
Is much further advanced than In the
eastern portion of the county. and
prospects continue TO point TO one
OF the largest yields ever produced
here. according 10 l.. S. Coleman. OF
the Amalgamated Sugar company,
who was in this section Tuesday.
The company AT the present time
have a large number of Mexicans In
the Filler district, assisting the grow
ers In thinning the beets. There are
nearly 200 Mexicans employed
throughout the county by this com
pany.
The good crop OF sugar beets that
is sure 10 be produced In this section
is giving much satisfaction TO those
vitality interested In the sugar sup
ply. which is greatly reduced because
OF the absence OF the Cuban crop. As
the United States produces only one
fourth OF the sugar consumed within
her borders. every effort Is being
made TO stimulate production
throughout the nation. Filler, In the
heart OF a big sugar production area
is thus in a position TO do much to
supply a proportionate share of this
abnormal demand.
Locally the price OF sugar remains
In the neighborhood OF "a cents a
pound, and the amount which Gus
toners are able 10 purchase is lin
tied.
There is a slight hope OF reduced
price in sugar before the canning
season. according to Max Mayfield
sugar expert OF Boise. on account oil
the large amount OF foreign sugar
which is TO be imported.
The American Refining company
has quoted sugar for September and
October delivery at $3.50. which
would mean a retail price OF $3.50
per hundred. but this will come too
late for the canning season.
Sugar at San Francisco IL now sell
ing at $3.50. which means II should
retail in Filler for $3.50.

This Represents One Days Trading on
the Lower End of the Peninsula
Thursday was the banner day of
the Eastern Shore of Virginia Pro-
duce Exchange, the sales being $780,
600. The $1,OO0,O0O mark would have
been reached, but for the shortage of
cars. 1t is estimated that only 40 per
cent of the potatoes on the Eastern
Shore has been marketed. The price
last week was from $40 to $11.50 a
barrel. In Accomack many of the
large land owners live in town and the
farms are run on shares, the tenant
often being a negro. To own an au-
tomobile is the height of the average
negro's ambition. This season the re-
ceipts from strawberries and potatoes
have been unusual and many negroes
are putting their share of the farms
income into automobiles. Often moth
ing but an automobile to the full
amount of their bank accounts will
satisfy.
