Production Drops

During the first nine months Of
1924 the production has been 2.S2S,-
1856 as compared with considerably
over 100000 during the same per
tod in 1929 The total output for
this year is expected to be fully $780,
900 less than in 1923
Even with this falling off in pro-
drction the 1924 figures will exceed
those of 1922 by fully 100000, and
those Of 1921 by nearly 100000
When the trade was expanding
more rapidly than ever before
during the early part of 1923 plans
were made for enlargement Of many
factories. This brought the total
capacity of all factories to more
than 5.500,000 per year. Until a
solution is found for the used car
problem. however, Government ex-
perts now predict this capacity pro
duction will greatly exceed all pos
sible sales.
a number OF practices intended to
foster sales have been developed to
offset the slackening demand.
Where one year was formerly i'a-
garded as an absolute time limit for
payment, the period has been ex-
tended to eighteen months and two
years in order to develop a market
among those who would not other
wise be possible customers. These
easy payments are also being ex-
tended by some dealers to buyers of
used cars who were formerly held to
a cash payment basis. /

Seek Sugar Beet Data
In Northwest States

Sugar beet fields of Northwestern
Washington will be inspected by Off
GERS Of the Utah-Idaho Sugar Com
pany to ascertain what acreage has
been planted, what the crop prospects
are and whether the farmers who
have planted beets this year will be
willing to plant more Of them next
spring, thereby enabling the company
to carry out its plan to put in mil
lion-dollar sugar factory this side Of
he Cascades. The company has two
sugar factories in Eastern Washing
ton and others in Idaho and Utah.
This information has been received
by Fred w. Graham, agricultural de-
velopment agent of the Great North
ern Railroad in Seattle, who has been
invited to accompany the sugar men
on the inspection trip. Similar invi-
tations have been extended to county
farm bureau agents and officers and
members of various farmers organ
izations.
Farmers in these counties this year
are raising considerable tonnage of
sugar beets that the company has
contracted to buy and ship to one Of
its Eastern Washington factories,
paying the freight charges, in order
to encourage beet production.

Army Officer Urges
Armament for Defense

warned Major General James G. Har-
bord, former deputy chief of staff of
the army and present head Of the Ra-
dio Corporation of America, in urging
armament for defense only, non
partisan, consistent foreign policy
and cooperation with the other ma
tions of the world for disarmament.
He was speaking on Disarmament
and Security" at the Institute on In
ternational Relations from the Chris
tian Point of View, being held under
the auspices of the Federal Council of
Churches. He advocated the United
States joining in the so-called Ameri-
can or Draft Treaty plan of disarma-
ment.
General Hartford declared that
Russia and Germany will not remain
content to be excluded from the Far
East, and that our unhappy manner
Of doing the thing we had a right to
do may have lost us the warm friend
ship Of Japan" He pointed out that
an alliance Of the three nations Is not
an impossibility, and If a German
Russian-C hinese-Japanese combination
came about 1t would be serious for
the world. He stated that proper
preparedness now costs each citizen
of the United States only $454.

He says conditions are constantly

been forced to abandon once paying
branch lines because of new and un
forseen auto bus competition on paved
highways, for the construction Of

taxed during the long period in which

pressed by shrinkage of earnings. He
declares that market value, as determ-

should govern making valuations.

farm tools and other equipment were
destroyed. From the barn the fire
leaped to the residence nearby, and
soon this also was destroyed. Most
of the household goods were carried
into nearby fields. Johannes Back,
elder son of Mr.. and Mrs. Back, suf-

arm and on his cheek while rescuing
property. The young son, Curtis, also
had one arm painfully burned. Com

heavy on Mr.. Back and his family.

Farm Interests Solid
For Present Sugar Duty

NEW YORK.-Reports to Facts
About Sugar show that the agricul
tural interests of the country are lin
ing up solidly against any reduction
in the tariff on sugar such as is re-
ported to have been recommended to
the President by three members of
the Tariff Commission.
The American Farm Bureau FEEDER
alton, state farm bureaus, the Inter-
national Farm Congress, the Ameri-
can Dairy Federation, the Mountain
States Beet Growers Association and
similar organizations in other Sec
tions have gone on record with formal
resolutions or by letters and tele.
grams of protest addressed to the
President in opposition to any lower
ing of the import duty on foreign
grown sugar.
There are several reasons why the
farm organizations are making an is
sue of this matter They recognize
the duty on sugar as one of the few
tariff schedules that Is of any protec-
ton to the farmer. Tariffs on com
modities of which the country pro-
duces surplus do not help him be-
cause the price Is fixed In the export
market In the case of sugar, how
ever, the United States imports more
than half it's total supply and conse-
quently the import duty on the for
eign product means that the Ameri-
can producer receives so much more
for his output, inasmuch as payment
for his crop Is based on the market
price OF sugar. The Tariff Commits
sion's Investigation shows that the
difference in the expense of produc-
Ing sugar in the United States and
Cuba Is almost entirely In the agri-
cultural costs and that the American
farmer receives for the raw material
required to produce a pound of sugar
a sum that exceeds the price received
by the Cuban cane grower by more
than the amount Of the tariff, so that
he gets the full benefit of the duty
charged against the foreigner Inves-
legations Of the cost of various manu-.
featured articles have resulted in in
creases Of tariff rates and the agri-
cultural organizations are interested
In determining whether the same
course or different one is to be fol-
lowed where the farmers interests
are at stake.
Another reason why the farm or
CARNATIONS are keenly following the
sugar case Is because the precedent
set by the Tariff Commission In re-
gard to sugar may work to the disad-
vantage of the farm interests in other
cases that are now pending or may
come before the Commission. At the
present time there are three cases un.
der investigation which directly of.
feet the farmers of the country-those
relating to butter, casein and vege-
table oils. In the sugar case 1t Is al
legged that the report on which the
recommendation for a reduction In
the duty Is based Is founded on fig
ures Of cost@ prior to the time when
the present tariff law was enacted
and that 1t disregards comparative
agricultural costs. Many authorities
In and out of Congress contend that
this course. IL not illegal, Is contrary
to the intent Of Congress In enacting
the so-called flexible provision of the
tariff law.
