ADOPTS SAFE PLAN
 FOR 1922 FARMING

Comparatively low prices for corn and hogs are not going to scare George H. Thompson into putting his whole crop in cotton this year. MT. Thompson is handling 150 acres of river bottom land on the Ledbetter plantation south of Lollie. q am go- ing to split it three ways," he said here Saturday, land plant 50 acres m corn, 90 acres in cotton and have 90 acres in pasture and hay. I am also planning to raise 50 purebred hogs.'
 MT. Thompson advertised corn for sale few days ago in the Log Cabin Democrat. His surplus was quickly sold and he was overrun with calls. The corn brought 65 cents bushel in the cribs on his place. Many farm CTS who sold corn last fall for 40 to oO cents a bushel are going to have to buy it back and probably pay a dollar for it." Mr. Thompson said. Under boil weevil conditions he be- Eeves corn is as good a money crop if anything, when grown on suitable land. "I figure that l can make more growing corn at 50 cents a bushel than l could using the land to produce a quarter of a bale of cotton to the acre, with cotton at 20 cents pound" !" he said.

Even those farmers who raise sugar beets might properly ask in what way their interests are being protected by an increase in the duty on Cuban sugar. It is currently rumored that the contract price paid the farmer for sugar heets during the coming season will be from $5.0O to S5.50 ton. | The average pre-war price with the tariff at 1c was $5.57, approximately the price that will he paid farmers during the coming season with the tariff increased 60ot
 Very few farmers grow wool, but all farmers wear clothes. American grown wool, the product of the American farm, Is one of the chief rallying cries of the high tariff exponent.
 Fallacy of Wool Protection" Farmers are clad In mid-winter mostly in cotton and shoddy, and yet the woolen manufacturer today Is given 45 cents a pound protection on the entire weight of the farmers clothing on the basis that 1t is all wool. He passes this additional cost on to the farmer, but gives the wool grower about one third of this 45 cents In in- creased price of wool.
 A foreign piece of mems suiting weighing eighteen ounces to the yard Is 4Oeo cotton, 309o wool and 30%o wool shoddy, costing on the present rate of exchange $1.O9 yard. A con- parable domestic fabric costs $1.75. Under the Fordney Tariff the duty would be 24rc of this $1.75, or 42c; the weight duty at BOG pound 33Ac, and the landing charge 91ac, making 1 the foreign fabric cost here Sl05. Under the present Emergency Tariff, with its 45c a pound weight duty, the fabric would cos, S208 as against the American price of S1.75.
 The wool grower would get 15c pro- tection per pound instead of the 45c weight duty, the manufacturer keep ing BOG of the weight duty, but charg- ing the farmer who buys clothing the full 45c.
 The American farmer should be in- terested to find out why 1t is that his common agricultural implements man. ufactured in the United States can be bought for less by the European farm CT than he has to pay for them, thanks to the protective tariff. For instance, he should inquire why he has to pay SS9l dozen for shovel manufactured in this country while the identical shovel exported can be bO0ght in Europe for s750
 With these facts in mind 1t is time l that the American farmer let himself be heard in protest against a protec- tive tariff which most emphatlcally does not give him square deal.

SUGAR TARIFF NO
 AID TO FARMERS
Consumers Taxed for Benefit of Factories, Not Beet Growers.
WOOL BENEFITS QUESTIONED
Fair Tariff League Head Says Beets Are Not Important American
 Crop.
By H. E. MILES,


 Sugar in the beet, the product of the farm, is given a protection of 5fo ad valorem in the Fordney Tariff Bill now before Congress.
 He1ned sugar, the product of the beet sugar factory, is protected with specific rate equivalent to from S026 to 100fo ad valorem on the basis of present prices.
 For example, the Michigan sugar factory receives 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 If the G0f6 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 a further bonus to an already sufficient ly protected beet sugar industry.
 All farmers use sugar. They usually buy 1t in loo pound sacks Every time farmer buys a sack of sugar he pays S2.00 as the result of the tariff on sugar Half of this goes to the Gov ernment and half of it to the beet sugar manufacturer.
 This is true because we consume in this country twice as much sugar as we make, but the price of sugar 10 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 1256,000, almost dou- ble 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 Ot her cropS.

lives and energies to building up

becoming a parry to the worlds

respected by none.
president Harding, 1t would
seem. either did not take the mean
ing of the last election seriously to
heart, or has forgotten it alto
gether, for on July IL 1921. when

said that the lessons of the defeat

control President Harding are so
powerful that they both prefer po-

BULLET fired BY AN unknown
PERSON BREAKS A WINDOW In
SAN MIGUEL co. COURT HOUSE
Criminals Operating With the Intention of Re-
leasing Prisoners or Trying to Brighten
Officers Off the Trail of Incendiaries, 1t Is
Generally Believed.


East Las Vegas, N, NJ, Feb. l9,---
A bullet fired by an unknown per-
son broke a window in the sheriff's
office at the san Miguel county
court house at an early hour this
morning. The attack on the court
house following the murderous as
sault on Night Jailer Candelario
Castellano just outside the Jail door
the night before. leads the officers
to believe that two or more crimi-
nails are operating with the inten-
tion of releasing prisoners or try
ing to frighten officers off the trail
of the incendiaries operating here
during the past two weeks.
Eduardo Martinez, a guard at
the court house, heard the shot and
ran to the scene in time to fire sew
eral times at two men whom he
found running away. The men did
not return the fire. Sheriff Anna
dor Ulibarri, who had been in
charge of the guard at the JAIL also
saw the two men and joined in the
chase, but the strangers got away.

COLD INCREASES
SUFFERINGS Of
SLAV REFUGEES
0utcasts in ConStantinopIe
Haunt the Dark Streets
and Alleys at Ninht, Beg
ging Aims and Bread.
tBy The Associated Prcss.)

Constantinople. Feb. 19.-Bitter
cold weather and heavy falls of
snow are intensifying the suffer-
ines of the legions of Russian ref
ugees who have sought shelter and
food within the Turkish capital
and its environs. Their misery is
great. They haunt the dark streets
and alleys at night begging aims
and bread There are nearly 20,-
600 who are utterly destitute. The
American Red Cross left a short
time ago. The refugees are now
turning their attention to the en-
bassies.
Entertainments, balls and gala
performances are being given by
charitable persons in an effort to
raise money for the unfortunate
Russian outcasts, but the response
is very feeble. The truth is life In
Constantinople is so dear that only
the well-to-do can afford to give
anv substantial help to others.
The plight of the Russian women
and children and oil men is pa
thetic to the last degree. There is
a shortage of weod and other fuel
anu many dlO ny ms buiiy VI N
posure.
In addition TO the Russian,
Greek and Turkish refugees. whose
numbers run into tens of thou
sands, Constantinople has to pro-
vide food and shelter for the Ar
menian refugees of Cilicia. APP
peals are placarded about the city
to move the population to succor
their destitute brethren but nobody
seems to worry about them, Let
the rich Americans or the league
of nations take care of them" is
the general response.
Sir Samuel Hoare, deputy high
commissioner for the league of ma
tions, is here in connection with the
international relief fund for Rus
sian refugees, with which DR..
Fridtjof Nansen Is connected. His
arrival has greatly heartened the
Russians, especially General Wrap-
gel and other Russian officials
upon whom great part Of the task
of caring for the refugees has
fallen.
1t is hoped here the league will
take energetic measures to amelio-
rate the grave conditions that exist.

WORLD s OUTPUT
Of COAL SHOWS
SLUMP IN 1921
nsy The Associated Press, ,

Washington, Feb. IA decrease
of more thap 2OO,OOO.OOO tons in
the worlds production of coal in
1921, compared with the output in
1920. was noted in a statement on
mining activities issued today by
the United States geological sur
vey. From reports so far received,
the statement said. the total world
output of coal last year was 1,100,-
100000 metric tons, with France
and Germany the only nations
showing an increased production.
The chief factors in the lessened
output in other countries. it was
said, were the strike by British
miners and "a worldwide Industrial
depression"
Progress in restoring the ruined
mines in France was seen in the
steady increase In output of the
last three years.
German production Of bitumi-
nous coal. the statement continued,
was still far below the prewar
level, although an increase also
was effected in 1921 as against
1920.
