Frear on the floor of the house Of

Judge Blount said seven years
ago." continued the congressman,
that a powerful lobby at Washing
ton was then working to that end,
and now, that all the conditions have
been met. and congress has unequivo-

Great business interests that make
and unmake governments. that rec
ognize or refuse to recognize national
autonomy in other countries that
make for peace and war, are all pow
erful today-even in America. How
far are these interests concerned in
the present equivocal status of the
Philippines? Probably direct evidence
is hard to find. although Judge Blount
declares that the agricultural imple-
ment business known as the harvester
trust, and the hemp business inter-
ests, and the sugar and tobacco trusts
of this country, and other large inf1u-
entail ombinations, are opposed to
Philippine independence"

CORN PRODUCTION
COST is 20 CENTS
Purdue Man Gives Growers
Result of Contest.


LAFAYETTE, Ind, Jan. Pit cost
the topnotch corn growers in Indiana
from 40 cents to $1.32, or an average Of
20 cents, to produce a bushel of corn
during the last season, L. S. Robertson
of the farm management department of
Purdue University, declared here to-
day.
Robertson made this assertion in adj
dressing several hundred members of
the Indiana Corn Growers Association
at their annual meeting which was
held in connection with the farmers an
nual short course at Purdue University.
The figures came from the farms of
22S men in the fve-acre corn growing
contest who are regarded as among the
best growers in the State.
Robertson said the average for all
farms in the State would be much high
er, because the men not in the contest
did not have yields as high as those
participating and their cost of produc-
tion would be greater.
