 Close Dancing Product of Cities.
 Miss Walz. of the International As- sociation, who arranged a dance in Philadelphia recently. which was at tended by 3b,Oo0 persons, said that the hope of eliminating the "fiapper" and the ''hipper" dances lay in edu- cation. Close dancing a product Of the cities. was due to the crowded ball room and dance hall, where 1t was impossible to spread out, she said. Too much time was lost teaching new dances and not enough in teaching grace and poise, she believed
 One of the great needs among the young was instruction in posture in the opinion of Miss Walz.
 Tn standing, 1t should be heel to instep-that kenotes social equality,' she explained. Heel to heel denotes inferority. Legs spread apart, either standing or sitting, spells vulgarity, Siouching should be avoided by hold ing the diaphragm in. If these things were kept in mind. vulgar dancing would soon be forgotten"

COMMIT MURDEROUS
 ASSAULTS IN CAIRO
Sixteenth Attack Made by Egyptians
 ssT~ Was on Colonel Piggot of England.

Alexandria. Egypt, Aug. 22 - The recent attack in this city on Lieuten- ant Colonel Arthur Frederick Hamil- ton Piggot was the 18th case in the series of murderous assaults upon British subjects in Egypt. It called again to mind the threat of the ma tionalists that an Englishman would be shot daily until the return of Said Zagloul Pasha, the nationalist leader who was deported by the British last December. and it is the latest addition to the extended, chain of anti British political outrages,
 Lieutenant Colonel Piggot, of the royal army pay corps, was shot and gravely wounded in Kadi el Fadl by unknown assailants while walking to his office He was taken immediately into the house of an Egyptian doctor M. Abdel Meguid at 1 kadi el Fadl street and was given first aid, being transported to the officers hospital at Abba ssieh where one of the three bullets which had hit him was extracted.
 Hopes are entertained of his re- covery but this new crime has arous- ed great indignation among the Flu ropean population in Egypt.

New York Aug. 22,-Women in so per cent Of the cases are responsible l for vulgar dancing, according to Ma jor Ned Gaynor, eighty-two -year-old | dancing master and instructor in de- | pertinent, who IS delegate to the National American Association of
 Dancing Masters, which opened q ! convention yesterday in the west ball room of the Hotel Commodore. It's the reaction of the war, says Miss Marguerite Walz, of the Internation- , al Association, Masters of Dancing, q rival organization, meeting in the op- posite ballroom Of the same hotel. Both assoGations agreed that the
 tendency of dancing Is away from , the jazz steps and that the tango, fox trot and straight waltz, with varla- tions such as the canter and hesita- ton steps. would be this seasons
 vogue.
 T firmly believe that so per cent
 or the faults of position on the danc.
 ing floor are chargeable to the gll :" said Major GAyror. It seems as if
 the girl of today cannot dance un- less she has a death grip on the
 neck of the man with whom she is
 dancing. The trouble is, the average young girl doesn't know how to dance.
 She learns to dance at schools run
 by promoters who have no concep- tion of the art of terpsichore."
 80 Years Old, But Hell Show Them.
 Lewis H. Kretlow, so years old,
 who has taught young people in Chi cago for sixty years, nodded in ac- auiescence to the statements of Major Gaynor. Mir. Kretlow, who will show waltz-fox trot for the approval of the association today. illustrated with partner the proper way for young lady to deport herself on the floor. Instead of putting her arm around the neck of the man. it should rest about three inches from the shoul- der, with the thumb extended in. The thumb provides a way for the young woman to show her displeas- ure over the way her partner dances. If he holds her too close kretlow ex- plained, the girl can simply press the thumb sharply in the arm of her es- cort.
 T notice an increasing tendency among young people to improve the dance themselves" kretlow said They are taking more interest in dancing gracefully. Jazz music has had marked effect in degenerating the dance. in my opinion. The tan go fox trot, danced to four four time but with different accent, has had the objectionable features of the pres ent trot removed. The side-long drag has been eliminated"
 Major Gaynor, who said he was a Methodist in good standing. believes his church made a grave mistake in upholding at this day the resolution passed in 1872 against dancing. card nlaying and theater going. He had all three vices he said.

 Washington, Aug. 21.-(By the As- sociated Press.)-The area of sugar cane, not including sorghum cane in the eight principal states producing sugar cane, is estimated by the U. s. Department of Agriculture to be 524.- zoo acres. or about 90 per cent of the harvested cane acreage of 1921. This is a preliminary estimate and in cludes the acreage intended to be harvested for seed and syrup, as well as for sugar.
 " The acreage that will be harvested VDbr seed can not be satisfactorily es- timated at this time, it was said as it depends largely on the price received for syrup and on other factors not yet operative.
 Louisiana has 295,500 acres planted to cane this year, according to the preliminary estimate, or more than one-haif the total acreage of the eight states. Alabama has 79,0Oo acres, Georgia 55,ooo, Mississippi ST. POO, Florida 29.o0a. Texas 17,5oo, and Arkansas 2.5oO.
 Crevasses in levees along the Miss issippi river and other rivers are re- ported to have destroyd 9,760 acres of cane in Louisiana. and flood in the Rio Grande valley destroyed a large part of the cane in that part of Texas.

'Sonae Aspects Of the
Farmers Problems"
BY BERNARD Nj. BARUCH

Prudent and orderly adjustment OF
production and distribution in accordance
with consumption is recognized as wise
management in every business but that
Af farming. Yet, ! venture to say, there
is no other industry in which it is so inn
portant to the public-to the city dweller
that production should be sure, steady.
and increasing, and that distribution
should be in proportion to the need. The
unorganized farmers naturally act blindly
and impulsively and, in consequence,
surfeit and dearth, accompanied by dis
concerting price variations, harass the
consumer. One year potatoes rot in the
fields because of excess production, and
there is scarcity Of the things that have
been displaced to make way for the ex-
pansion of the potato acreage; next year
the punished farmers mass their fields on
some other crop, and potatoes enter the
class OF luxuries; and 50 on.
Let us, then, consider some Of the
farmers grievances, and see how far they
are real. In doing 50, we should remem-
Der that, while there have been, and still
are, instances Of purposeful abuse, the
subject should not be approached with
any general imputation to existing dis
tributive agencies of deliberately inten-
tional oppression, but rather with the
conception that the marketing Of farm
products has not been modernized.

An ancient evil, and a persistent one,
is the undergrading of farm products,
with the result that what the farmers
sell as Of one quality Is resold as Of
higher. That this sort of chicanery
should persist on any important scale in
these days Of business integrity would
seem almost incredible, but there is much
evidence that it does so persist.
The difference between what the farm
er receives and what the consumer pays
often exceeds all possibility Of justification.
To cite single illustration. Last year,
according to figures attested by the rail-
ways and the growers, Georgia water
melon-raisers received on the average rs
cents for melon, the railroads got 12.7
cents for carrying it to Baltimore, and the
consumer paid one dollar; leaving 1913
cents for the service Of marketing and its
risks, as against 20.2 cents for growing and
transporting The hard annals of farm
life are replete with such commentaries
on the crudeness OF present practices.
Selling Under Pressure.
Farm products are generally marketed
at a time when there is a>congestion of
both transportation and hnance-when
cars and money are scarce. The out
come, in many instances, is that the farm
crs not only sell under pressure, and
therefore at disadvantage, but are COM
PEELED to take further reductions in net
returns, in order to meet the charges for
the services Of storing, transporting, hnanc-
ing, and ultimate marketing - which
charges, they claim, are often excessive
bear heavily on both consumer and pro-
ducer, and are under the control of those
performing the services. 1t is true that
they are relieved Of the risks Of changing
market by selling at once; but they are
St. Tammany farmer., 1922-06-10

quite willing to take the unfavorable
chance, if the favorable one also is theirs
| and they can retain for themselves part
of the service charges that are uniform, in
good years and bad, with high prices and
| low
Some farmers, favored by regional COM
pactness and contiguity, especially in Cali
fornia, already have found way legally
to merge and sell their products integrally
and in accordance with seasonal and local
demand, thus improving their position
and rendering the consumer reliable serv-
ice of ensured quality, certain supply, and
reasonable and relatively steady prices.
They have not found it necessary to re-
sort to any special privilege, or to claim
any exemption under the antitrust legis-
!ation of the state or nation. Without
removing local control, they have built
up very efficient marketing agency.
The Hard Job.
The grain, cotton and tobacco farmers,
and the producers of hides and wool, be-
cause of their numbers and the vastness
of their regions, and for other reasons,
have found integration more difficult
task; though there are now some thousands
of farmers cooperative elevators, ware
houses, creameries, and other enterprises
of one sort and another, with a turnover
Of billion dollars year.
In view Of the supreme Importance to
the National we'll being of a prosperous
and contented agricultural population,
We should lie prepared to 60 a long way
in assisting tie farmers to get an equitable
STARE Of the wealth they produce, through

cure continuous and increasing stream
