sion. is 0 worrying about tomatoes

other miscellaneous fruits ana 'esc-
tables.
The special session was called TO
enact farm relief and TO change the
tariff, principally With a view to farm
relief. Fruits and vegetables are
mixed I'D i'll all OF that. lnasmuch as
nearly everyone cats fruits or Vegc-
tables or both, this ought 70 DC a very
interesting story. but don't be TOO
sure!
Fruits and vegetables are grown IN
~profusion in MI. Hoover's home state
of California and elsewhere. The
Havley -Smoot tariff bill provides
higher duties on imported cherries,
grapefruit. peanuts. beans, onions,
mushrooms, almonds, tomatoes, pine
apples, ripe olives, turnlps, rutabagas
and other items. but there arc no
changes III rates on various others,
including lemons, potatoes, oldIlstS'
raisins. peaches and peas.
Tossed on the Floor
Thus we're fruits and vegetables
thrown onto the floor Of the house
In the senate the same thing hao
already been done by Senator Cope
land of New York, who introduced an
amendment to the farm relief bill
which would exempt fruits and vege-
tables from the relief provisions. The
three billion dollar fruit and vege-
table industry has become greatly cx-
cited over this resolution and because
fruits and vegetables are raised III 50
many states senators have been bonn
barded by kilograms concerning the
resolution from nearly everywhere.
Both houses of the California legls-
lature have protested, at the instance
Of the large California cooperatives.
But the fruit and vegetable inter-
ests appear TO be seriously divided
over the question whether or not they
want to share in the benefits of the
farm relief bill-divided. in fact, over
the question whether their inclusion
under the bills provisions would dt
the farmer more harm than good.

EARLY POTATO
ACREAGE CUT
Reduction of 29 Per
Cent Reported BY
Department

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.--Grovers
of early potatoes report intentions
Of decreasing acreage 20 per cent
TO q survey by Bureau of Agricul-
tural Economics, United States De-
partment OF Agriculture. The grow
ers who reported planted 67.400
acres Of potatoes last season or about
one-fifth Of the total acreage of
commercial early potatoes in IL
southern and eastern states. They
report intentions 10 plant only AZ
100 acees this season.
The proposed reductions IN scre-
age appears to be distributed among
growers Of both large and small
acreages in all OF the important
early potato states. The intended
reduction by states Is as follows:
Florida, 80 per cent; Texas, 25 per
cent; Alsbams, IS per cent; Louisi-
ana Is per cent: Georgia, al per
cent: North Carolina 50 per cent;
Arkansas Is per cent; oklahoma IS
per cent; Virginia % per cent, and
Maryland % per cent.
This statement Of farmers in
tsntions to plant is not a forecast OF
the acreage that will actually he
planted. IL is simply an indication
Of what farmers had in mind to plant
at the time they made their report,
compared with the acreage planted
by them last year. The acreage
actually planted may he larger OF
smaller than these early intention
reports indicate. due TO weather ron
ditions price changes, labor supply,
Of ~ilimitstions Of credit. and the ef-
feet Of the report itself upon pro-
ducers action.
