Poor immigration

lay.
1--WE have been hiding our light

result that we have lost to other
countries thousands of excellent set
tiers who should have come to US
Indeed. it is worse than that, because
the census returns show that in 1911,
Canada had population Of 100000
and the census returns for 1921 show
a total population OF 100000"
The speaker said that many Cana
dams were imbued with the convic-
ton that immigration in a very large
measure, should be confined to peo-
pie of British origin. In this instance
however, he asserted. policy rather
than idealism must prevail.

were referred to by Consul Deichman
who said these showed Americans ar

American steel company at TOTO and
Cruz Grande also we're in good health.
Other advices from Consul Stewart
Mcmillan at Antofagasta said there
had been no damage to American
property and no Americans had been
harmed in Antofagasta or Chuquica-
mata. Similar reports were received
from American consuls at AFRICA and
Iquique. These said the shock was
mild in Iquique and presumably not
perceptible in africa.
Ambassador Collier at Santiago
said that at six p. M, yesterday total
deaths in the devastated region num-
Tered between $50 and 1000 with
about $500 injured. Property dam
age was estimated at about fifty mill
lion pesos, nearly all being in Valle-

cilities being talked of as practically
blocked with no shipping directions
coming in to relieve congestion. There
were indications. Furthermore, that
grain loadings on western and nortl,-
western roads were increasing as COM
pared to last year. Offerings here,
however, were readily absorbed.
Commission houses reported the
largest general speculative interest in
many months and it was to this fact
chiefly that the decided upward swing
of the wheat market during the first
half of the day was ascribed. Strength
in corn values had an additional stimu-
lating effect. and so, too. did reports
that flour mills were picking up cash
wheat and working full capacity to get
supplies east before the close Of nnyi-
CATION OF the Great Lakes.
Assertions that rural holders of corn
were showing an increased disposition
to await higher prices gave the corn
market impetus upward. Big demand
from feeders continued from sections
where the crop was short. Oats eased
a little by liberal receipts.
Sharp reactions in stocks Of lard

The sweet corn industry like all
other industries is valuable to the
state, community or individual only
SO long as it returns a just and salts
factory profit to all concerned. The
Association fully realizing this. i'm
nediately cooperated with the extern
sion service. which through the coun.
ty agents had already begun the pro-
ject OF cost accounting with the
growers. with the idea Of getting the
fair and actual cost OF production
per pound and per acre. This proved
a great disappointment to many sup
pcsedly successful growers, a. It
showed that the crop was not the
profit getter that was claimed for It.
However. the situation IL not en-
tirely discouraging or hopeless. The
merchant in our villages and cities

adopt the same and study the posi-

al, which will increase the percentage

1t is possible that in the near fu-

Consumption Of rubber Is going tor
ward now Mt rate 446 per cent greater
than in 1919 while the price is but %
per cent Of the pre-war average.
Automobile manufacturers are using
about half of the crude rubber inn
ported. averaging approximately s0o.-
100000 pounds per year. This means
that each of the 100000 odd automo.
biles In the country Is wearing out
nearly so pounds of rubber per year.
On the average each car uses four tires
per year. On that basis the rubber in
each tire. laid down in New York, is
worth slightly more than - cents. The
cost Of crude rubber to the tire manu-.
facturer in Akron. O.. it would appear,
would be increased only by the trans
portation cost.
The production of pneumatic tires by
manufacturers totaled nearly 10000
during the first six months Of 1929.
a larger number of inner tubes were
turned out. Production of solid tires
was small in comparison with pneu-
matics.
