The tariff question is always an is
sue. There are the high tariff ad-
vocates. the advocates of a tariff for
revenue only and there are some who
want free trade. There are argu-
meELs for any one OF these views,
but it depends on Just which side of
the fence one is located. For in
stance we know that sugar would be
cheaper if foreign sugar was admit
ted free of duty. but what about the
farmer that grows the beets. Put
sugar on the free list and the beet
growers of the west, or anywhere in
this country for that matter, would
have to turn to hlising other crops.
What is true with su gar is true with
every other crop and product raised
or manufactured in this country.
With tariff that protects the sug-
ar beet farmers will be able to grow
beets at Il profit, but there must be

BEET PRICES

The sugar beet crop for 1921 is
now being harvested. At best ii is
only short time now until the beets
are converted into sugar and the
plans for NEXT season ara commenced.
There is one thing then that should
very important one-is that there be
price set sufficiently eariy in the
.oming year the tiie farmer may
lnow what 10 uepend on. If the nifty
fifty" plan fer payments of beets is
good for both grower and manufact-
drer ythIs season then it Will most
likely be good next season. II such
plan of Payments is satisfactory then
there is no reason why that method
cannot be adopted for next year and
before the farmers start
on their 1929 crop planting and crop
plans.
One of the drawbacks in beet rails
ing in past years was tha: the grow
ers did not know what kind of con-
tract they would have submitted un-
til late in the season. In some cases
an agreement was not reached until
some OF the farmers ei,her planteas
thair ground TO other crops or had
arranged to plant something else.
This has kept good many acres from
being put into beets which might 9TH
orwise have been planted. and it is
also loss to the manufactures.
Whatever may be lthe price for
beets, whether it be the 'flfty-ftty'
plan. a fiat rate or a sliding scale ii
should be decided before the winter
IS over, and before the robbins return
in .le spring.
