CURTIS SAYS SMITH
CHANGES HIS MIND
Quotes Democratic Nominee
as Having Been Foe of
Tariff in 1922.

HARTFORD. Conn, October 20.-In
an attack on the tariff position OF Gov.
Smith here tonight, Senator Curtis, the
Republican vice presidential nominee,
declared that the Democratic presi-
Dental nominee has changed his posi-
ton on every important question In the
last three years
The Senator made particular refer
ence to speech which he said the
governor delivered in Stapleton, Staten
Island, N Y, on November 2. 1922. He
quoted as follows from that speech by
the governor:
What is the truth about the tariff?
The fact Is that it is -blooded
ho;d-up of the whole American people
in the, interests of the few who were
only too well represented at Washing
ton"
Then he quoted from an article in
the Industrial Digest of this year, which
he saic gave this statement on the atti-
tude of Gov. Smith: Necessary items
by the hundreds are unnecessarily taxed
by the tariff ff-clothing beef, vegetables,
chinaware and even fish"
Curtis Own. Stand.
Gov Smith now says he is for a
competitive tariff said the Senator.
"A competitive tariff never protected
anything. He changes his position SO
fast the ordinary reader can't keep up
with him. I am for protecting Amer
lean labor, American farmers and
American industries. Republicans have
been for that and will continue to be-"
Welcoming crowds greeted the Sena-
tor as he came through Connecticut
this afternoon. A band was on hand
here and parade signaled the rally
for tonight in the Foot Guard Armory.
Gov. Trumbull boarded the Curtis car

DEFENDS SMITHS
IMMIGRATION VIEW
Robinson Says Governors
Proposal Would Admit
Fewer Than Ho0ver'S.

Ey the Associated Press.
HASTINGS, Neb. october 20-Ac-
tually fewer immigrants would enter The
United States under the proposals of
Gov. Smith than those Herbert Hoover
advocates. Senator Joe T. Robinson
declared in a campaign address tonight
which he said was prompted by "mis:n-
tsrpretstions" placed upon Democratic
lnlrnis' alton views by Republican
speakers
He -harged that Senator Curtis. Fe-
publican vice presidential nominee. was
emong those who are mistatirg the.
Democratic immigration program anC
declared Gov. Smith stood squarelv on
the Houston immigration plank which
asserted that Laws which limit immi-
grafton must be preserved in full force
and effect"
Declaring there was little or no diff
ference In the immigration declarations
OF the Republican and Democratic plat
forms, Senator Robinson said;
Figures Are Presented.
"Mr: Hoover advocated making per-
which would be admitted more than
$4,000 immigrants, while Gov. Smiths
proposal would result in admission OF
little more than $4,000.
1T Is clear that there Is no founda-
Non for the claim that the Democratic
party, or its candidate for President,
favors unrestricted immigration or the
relaxation of the laws regulating the
subject. In fact, more immigrants
would be admitted under Mr.. Hoover's
proposal than under Gov. Smiths
The Senator declared Gov. Smith has
stated in his acceptance and other
speeches his full favor of, preserving
laws which limit immigration and that
he believes certain harsh provisions
which separate families" should be re-
moved.
Against 1890 Census.
"He proposes no change in the ma
tional origins clause" Senator Robinson
said "but does criticize the arrange
naents In the temporary statute now IN
force. basing the quotas on the census
Of 1890.
His criticism rests on the fact that
10 take the number of foreign born
in the United States in 1890. rather
thar the total American stock of a
given nationality, is discriminatory
against certain European peoples"
Senator Robinson reached Hastings
by automobile from Grand Island,
where he left his special car to make
an afternoon speech attacking the Re-
publican farm policy. He also made
O plea there for religious tolerance,
striking against ministers who permit
politics to be preached from their
pulpits.
Referring to farm relief, topic with
which the Senator is expected to deal
with fully during his Middle Western
tour, Robinson declared that no two
men were more responsible for the fail
ure 'of adequate agricultural legisla-
ton" than Hoover and Curtis.

WHEAT SMUT CONTROL

The attention of the wheat grow
: ers is again being called to the i'm
portance of treating their seed
wheat to control the stinking smut
which has caused a loss amounting
to thousands of dollars to the crop
in Delaware, and proportionate
damage to the wheat i'll other Sec
tions of the United States, with the
result that those farmers who are
not following this practice are re-
ceiving their portion of this great
loss.
The campaign which has been
conducted in this state during the
mast three years to control this dis
ease has met with excellent sue
cess, and especially so in Kent
county where it has been estimated
by County Agent Russell e. Wilson
that at least eighty PEI cent of The
farmers treated their seed wheat
last fall.
The value of treating the seed has
been brought to the attention of the
farmers each year by means of seed
treatment demonstrations and field
meetings, in addition to newspaper
publicity and the mailing of cirru-
lar letters, resulting in the fact
that this practice is now being fol-
loSed by the greater majority of
the wheat growers throughout the
state as a whole.
Since not all the farmers are !
treating their seed wheat, this !
stinking smut is still prevalent in |
many sections of the state, thereby |
making it necessary that further
steps be taken to eradicate this dis
ease from our wheat crop. Seed
treatment demonstrations will be
held in the county again this fall
under the direction of County Agent
Wilson with the assistance of DR.. j.
F. Adams, plant patholOgist of the
of Delaware and the
State Board of Agriculture, who has
been cooperating in this smut con-
troll program for the entire state
during the past three years.
Although some farmers prefer
the use of formaldehyde in treating
their wheat, the dust disinfectants
are being recommended since these
materials will not injure the germi-
nation of the grain and they are
also more convenient to apply. The
dust materials which are on the
market today include the Copper
carb, Semesan and Bayer Dust, each
of which is used at the rate of two
ounces to a bushel of wheat.
In order to insure a thorough
covering of each grain, and salts
factory control of the smut the seed
should be treated in a revolving
barrel or drum, as a good distribu-
tion of the dust cannot be secured
by the shovel method. By using
these dust disinfectants the wheat
may be treated well in advance of
the seeding period, which is an i'm
portant factor to consider when
.reating large quantities of seed.

WHEN POTATOES HIT go CENTS

Potatoes are being sold in New
York city at less than a cent a
pound, in spite of the fact that, ac-
cording to George ]. Callister, wide
ly known agronomist, there are $50
major cooperative organizations in
the United States that have a COM
bined membership of 100000 farm
ers and do an annual business of
more than $150,000,0O0.
"Here we have the spotlight
thrown upon one of the problems
that must be solved before the agri-
cultural industry will find itself
upon an economic, businesslike and
truly profitable basis" Mr.. Callister
declares. "A cent a pound for pota-
toes is less than the average cost of
production, to- say nothing of
freight, handling, trucking, middle
mems profits and other items that
accumulate as the potato travels
from producer to consumer.
"It costs the average farmer in
the North Central states SO cents to
raise a bushel of potatoes; in the
Central states it costs 58 cents; in
the Eastern states 70 cents; in the
North Eastern states 73 cents; in

when potatoes are offered in
such an important consumer-market
as New York city at less than pro-
duction cost, it means an enormous
loss somewhere. 1t means that a
major branch of the agricultural in
dustry has failed to function in the
interests of the producer; that sup
ply has been allowed to exceed the
known demand, or that fatally bad
judgment has been exercised III the
choice of a market and the time for
marketing. In either case, it is not
likely that farmers who market
through cooperative associations
