Congressman NJ C. Allgood of the Sew
enth district, Saturday was designated by
j. M. Moore, state commits Toner of agri-
culture, as his repres entative at confer
ence with President Harding. which viii
be held Monday for the purpose of protest
ing against the proposal of the federal
tariff commission for an investigation of
the tariff rates on vegetable oils. Re
timers have request ted a reductio of so per
cent in the tariff, contending that more
vegetable oils should be received from
other countries.
Commissioners of agriculture of the
south contend that this reduction would
affect the market for peanut oils produced
in the south and that even the docketing
of the petition for hearing would reduce
the prices. The tariff on vegetable oils
has forced the price of peanuts upward
and producers now contend there will be
little profit in the growing of peanuts
this year. but that a reduction in the tar
tiff rates would bring the prices below the
cost of production.
Congressman Allgood wired Commits
sioner Moore that he would represent Ala
bama and that he had invited Congress-
man W. B. Oliver and other Alabama rep
resentatives to participate. Illness in his
family will prevent Commissioner Moore
from attending the conference.

VIRGINIA NINE NEEDS
MORE POWER ON SLAB

lNlVERSlTi. Va, April 14.-Vir-
Elnla's base ball team will play its
first game away from home Tues
day against Washington and Lee at
Lexington. Luck had much to do with
the Orange and Blue victory last
week, but Coach Neale has had much
time to work on his nine since then
and il is hoped here that the sec
on contest will be won by fast
diamond playing.
Pitching has been such a weak spot
with the Virginia team this season
that Coach Neale sent out n late call
this week for new material In the
box. Among those who responded
hare been Vincent Archer. who has
served his four years on the track
team; tharly Lee. second-year man
VINO worked with Lehigh two sea-
sons ago. is another newcomer.
Maphis and Holland are the only
pitched through a full game. and
both have shown erratic streaks
Under the training of Coach Neale
they are. however, getting more
steady.
Sam Bronaugh has been kept out
of the box by a bad arm and unless
this gets in condition soon. il Is likely
that he will be used as a utility out
fielder.
Virginia's next home game is
against Virginia Military Institute
Saturday. With the Generals and the
Cadets out of the way Coach Neale
will be able to turn his attention to
getting ready for the "trip south to
play North Carolina, South Carolina
and Georgia.
Washington and Lee for a third
game. but neither time nor place
has been agreed upon.
