SUGAR TARIFF NO
AID TO FARMERS
Consumers Taxed for Benefit oil
Factories, Not Beet Growers.
WOOL BENEFITS QUESTIONED
Fair Tariff League Head Says Beets
Are Not Important American
Crop.
BY Il. z MILES.

Chairman Of the Fair Tariff League.
Sugar In the beet, the product Of
the farm. is given a protection Of so
ad valorem In the Fordney Tariff Bib
now before Congress.
Refined sugar, the product Of the
beet sugar factory. Is protected with
specific rate equivalent TO from S096
to 1905 cd valorem on the basis o<
present prices
For example, the Michigan sugar
factory receives a prohibitive protec-
ton against the importation of the
product of the Canadian sugar factory.
but the Michigan sugar beet farmer
receives practically no protection
against the Canadian sugar beet.
In view Of this farmers are asking
II the 600 increase In the tariff on
Cuban raw sugar contained In the
Fordney Tariff Bill Is an effort to pro-
tect the farmer or an effort to pay q
further bonus to an already sufficient
ly protected beet sugar Industry.
All farmers use sugar They usually
buy It in 100 pound sacks. Every time
farmer buys sack of sugar he pays
$500 as the result Of the tariff on
sugar. Half Of this goes to the Gov
eminent and half of II to the beet
sugar manufacturer.
This Is true because we consume Ia
this country twice as much sugar as
we make, but the price Of sugar to the
farmer Is the Cuban price plus the
tariff. But the farmer pays this price
on both the domestic sugar and the
foreign sugar. Therefore the farmer
pays half of this tax to the Govern
ment and half to the manufacturer Of
beet sugar In this country.
Sugar Beets a Minor Product
The farmer might feel that he was
getting some benefit out Of this If the
raising Of sugar beets was actually an
important American agricultural pur-
suit This, however, Is not the case.
The crop acreage Of sugar beets for
1920 was 692, 455. The crop acreage
for peanuts was 1,256,O00, almost dou-
bic the acreage devoted to the cultiva-
ton Of sugar beets
The following table indicates the
Importance Of the acreage devoted to
sugar beets as compared with certain

PIRATE DAYS

We're deep In all the deeds they did
Upon the seas and on the land,
And Bud and l set out each night
To sail the rolling Spanish main,
Two youngsters with the old delight,
Back in the pirate days again.
We fight with Morgan's buccaneers
The black flag flying at the mast;
The clash OF steel IL In our ears
The pistol fire is harsh and fast
Rough and adventurous and bold,
We take our stand with honest mel
Battling the cruel lust for gold
And a wde-eyed boy again.
Last night We found a man marooned.
And saw another walk the plank,
We helped the lady who had swooned
And watched vessel as Il sank.
