The subject of poetry and litera-

was the attitude toward kipling in

Iibeled India. He has used India
merely as literary material without
especial regard for facts. kfpling

ARGENTINE WHEAT
RAISERS HARD HIT
World Surplus, Export Tax
And Fear of U. S. Tariff
Mean Slump.
By JOHN w. WHITE.

BUENOS AIRES. May I. - The
yetoing of the Fordney bill caused
no illusions as to the unfavorable
effect on the Argentine wheat crop
that is bound to follow American
tariff legislation. Although the
vetoing of the bill enables wool
shipments to the American market
to be resumed for a few weeks the
Argentine exporters expect the ne"
Congress and President to make the
bill law before long, with at least
an indirect influence on the market
for Argentine wheat.
American tariff legislation is ex-
pected to induce Canada. Australia
and India to hasten the marketing
of their crops in Europe. and by
increasing the price of -four II VIII
check consumption in the Jniteu
States. Decrease of consumption in
the case of individual families may
be the merest trifle, but it is
weighty factor in a country OF no.
oOo, ,OeO inhabitants. BY closing the

wheat. the act will bring the large
surplus OF the Canadian harvest

be in favor of consumers and
against the producing countries.
Europe 10 BE GIutted.
Argentine wheat exporters be-
lieve that the holders of Canadian
Australian. Indian and Balkan
wheat have already realized the
dangers Of delay and that they are
neglecting no effort to dispose OF
the bulk of their holdings before
the producing countries swamp the
European markets. That Europe is
going to be swamped with wheat
within the next few months is be
Iieved here to be certain if the es-
timate issued by the United States
Department of Commerce is ap-
proximateIy accurate. and it has
not been questioned in any authori-
tative quarter.
As that report estimated the ex-
cess Of wheat production over re-
quirements at 100000 metric tons.
some producing country is sure to
be left with the bulk Of that guam
tity on it's hands, and it begins to
look as though Argentina is the
country which will he left with
the surplus
At this time last year Argentina
had exported 100000 tons Of
wheat, whereas the shipments this
year amount to only 276.000 tons,
and a large part of these shipments
have been to Brazil. rather than to
Europe. so it is apparent that Ar
gentina is missing its market.
The government has allowed
three months of the new cereal sea-
son to slip away without doing
anything to facilitate exports. and
instead of being in a position to die
tate terms. as usual. Argentina now
finds itself in sharp competition
with other producing countries in
consuming markets that are certain
to be overstoGIed before the sale
OF the Argentine crop can be COM
pleted.
Unlike her competitors. Argen-
tina is burdened by an export tax
which prejudices European buyers
against Argentine wheat, and owing
to the fuctuating character Of this
tax business is more than ordi-
narily difficult.

Eastern University.
Tagore believes that an eastern
university to which westerners may
go to learn OF eastern culture is
needed. Without such a university
! it is now difficult for westerners to
get in touch with eastern cultures,
to find teachers. For such wester-
ers as make the attempt much time
Is uselessly consumed. In India is
the proper place for such a univer-
sity and. in accord with this thought,
Tagore has already established at
Calcutta the nucleus of such an
eastern university. In India firmly
established are Islam. Buddhism
Hindooism. Professors of these can
easily be gathered. and to these can
be added professors of other eastern
cultures, particularly the Chinese
and the Hebrew, so that the whole
east would be represented. Tagore
modestly stated that, even IL eastern
cultures may not be worth much,
the west makes a mistake and is
poorer by leaving them unknown
The west eXerted energy to discover
the north and south poles-relative-
ly useless undertakings-but makes
no effort to discover the culture of

Gated a fine still in operation and a
large quantity of liquor, part of which
they destroyed and brought the rest
to the county seat as evidence. Lii
quor was also found at the Ross Ban
kus place. A still in operation was
found at the Mike Hanson place and
a still at the Sever Tally place not in
operation. We understand that other
arrests are expected, and the raids of
the officers will no doubt have very
salutatory effect on the illicit liquor
trade in this locality We have no
more of this kind of business than any
other locality, we presume, but we can
well dispense with what we have.

Wisconsin Tobacco Market
EdgertOn, Wis, Oct. Z, 1

EdgertOn, WIS, Oct. Z, 1921.
October is here and the finish of the
tobacco harvest. From the first week
in August when the harvest started
in a small way to the first week in
October when it closed, is a long jump.
Perhaps no more tobacco was harvest
ed during the first week in August
than during the first week in October;
it was not a great deal at either end.
f, This puts the heavy part of the har-
vest work between August Is and the
oath of September, a period of AS
days, or about six weeks working time
to house the major part of the years
yield.
The earliest cuttings have had time
to cure, and while this is by no means
the portion containing the largest per-
centage of long and spready leaves,
it stands a good chance of being the
uniformly best risk of the years offer
ings. The medium harvest is curing
in good shape where shedding condi-
co has a number of things against it,
is no use denying. 1t was rainwashed
whipped by the wind and otherwise
sorely tried by the elements. 1t will
need a good fall to cure properly.
The northern Wisconsin best sec
tions were streaked by hail, and the
southermost. slice of tobacco soil had
the worm pest to contend with.
This record is calling attention to
the unfavorable phase of the 1921
crop. The crop, in point of long and
leafy sizes, is unquestionably top
notcher, and the quality and percent
age of sound binder leaf will show the
true record when going into the bundle
and after.
Perfect handling of the leaf means
a lot in placing the value of any crop;
but in a season where the demand is
slow this phase will be emphasized to
the limit. Trade conditions generally
are not up to the handle; the demand
for the manufactured stuff is not keen,
though an effort is now made along
the line to speed up demand in anti
cipation of the holiday trade, and the
buying of the raw material is natural
ly influenced by the consumption pow
er of the ready goods by the public.
But a first class article can as a gen.
eral thing find willing buyer at
fair price.
There is no appreciable change in
the condition of the 1920 movement
from first hands.
