WASHINGTON, July 13.-Approximate
ly 1900 miles of new concrete roads
were contracted for during the first
five months of 1929 it is shown in Off
cial reports received by the Depart
ment of Commerce.
- Motorists and farmers who them
selves haul their goods to market have
for many years conducted a campaign
to increase the use of concrete in high
way construction. They contend that,
although concrete for roads costs more
than some other materials, such road
building is the more permanent. This
view is not endorsed by all who have
studied wear on highways.
Nevertheless use of concrete in road
construction has been increasing for
the last four years.

British shipments last year for the
first time since the beginning Of the

but less than one-quarter Of the total
reached in the high-tide year Of 1880.
The reasons for this tremendous
decrease in Brazilian importN OF
American products, according TO
opinions expressed by business
representatives here, are the unfav-
orable exchange rates on Brazilian
money. the relatively higher cost Of
doing business confronting American
exporters. and. the general retrench-'

The Dangers Of Crop Regulation
The impracticability of general
efforts to regulate the crops by any
system of overhead control has been
illustrated by several recent in
stances. A strong effort was made
in the winter Of 1922, in the interests
of the beet sugar producers of this
country, to induce the cane produc-
ers of Cuba to limit their output of
sugar TO 2,500,000 tons. II was urged
that unless this was done the beet
sugar industry would be ruined by
the low price, and for its protection
the customs duty was raised to 2.2
cents per pound. less the reciprocity
concession of 20 per cent. There
is no doubt that the beet sugar
people were sincerely alarmed. They
could not hope to compete with
Cuban sugar at 2 cents per pound,
the price at which it was then sell
ing. they did not forsee the great
increase of consumption, the drought
in Cuba, or dream OF Cuban sugar
rising to cents. Now, notwith-
standing the fact that the Cubar
crop is estimated at 3.500,000 to 3
100000 tons, there is alarm les
there be scarcity; what would thf
situation have been with the Cubai
crop only 100000 tons?
The present situation in cotton i
a demonstration that there has been
no real need for the artificial cur
tailment of that crop in recent years
Any amount that might have bee"
grown in 1921 or 1922 would havo
been wanted by 1923 or 1924. The
agitation for restricting the acreage
in corn in 1922 accomplished little
but is seen now to have been quite
unnecessary.
These examples are sufficient &c
show that attempts to regulate pro
duction by mass movements arc
likely to result in colossal blunder.
ing. AS a rule what is needed is
not general restriction, but a prop
er distribution of effort. The in
dividual farmer is the best judg,
of the policies suited to his cir
cumstances. IF. in fact, there should
lie general over-production o
farm products, the remedy woul
not be in general curtailment, bu
by having some of the farm popu
lation enter other industries, bu'
they should act on their own initia
