ADDITIONAL PAYMENT

/ The Holly Sugar Corporation is
making an average additional pay
ment of SIS cents per ton on last
years scale contract. this payment
making an average total to date of
ss.37 per ton Present indications
are that they viii be able to make
the growers ii farther substantial
payment.
While in some quarters an at
tempt has ueen made to create pol
iticai capital because of the recent
increased market price of sugar, it
is evident that the public generally
appreciates that the best assurance
against excessive sugar prices is an
increased domestic production. The
wisdom of such policy is evident
and the subject should be consider
ed not from political but from an
economic standpoint.
Comparatively speaking, sugar is
not any more expensive than other
food commodities with the advant-
age to the beet grower that an 70
ceives his share of any advancing
sugar price.
President Harding, in announcing
the Administrations policy on the
flexible tariff, has clearly analyzea
the situation and the following
statement has been given out 8
"a modification of the sugar sche.
dule, in the opinion of the President
could not effect the resent situa-
ton to any considerable degree and
moreover would discourage the
further development OF the Amerl
can dometic sugar industry which
the President believes provides the
surest way to remedy the condi-
tions that now exist"
With sliding scale beet con-
tract the situation is of great in
terest to the grower of sugar beets,
