Washington. Jan = Appcal- ing for a reduction u the tariff on rayon raw materials and yarns, Senator Wheeler, domocrat. Mon tana, asserted in the senate today that British interests controlled pro- duction in this country.
 If there's one schedule in this entire bill that is going to take anil lions from the American farmer and put il in the hands of the greatest trust in the world it is rayon," he said.
 Says Profits in Millions
 The American Niscose company, chief rayon producer. is owned and controlled by London interests, he continued. adding it had piled up millions in profits and had paid the tremendous dividends in cash and stock.'
 Asking a rate of 3J per cent on single and grouped rayon flaments, and single yarns in place of rates in the bill ranging from 45 to 50 per cent Wheeler said:
 "I'm not seeking this reduction in the name only Of the American consumer. I'm asking it also in the name of the cotton manufacturers. The cotton industry is in the dol drums.
 Practically all cotton manufac- tu""rs are hoping there will be q reduction in the tariff because rayon is so necessary in their industry. Scarcely one of them, however, has dared ask q decrease as they are afraid of retaliation from this pow crful trust
 Senator Jones. republican, Wash ington, announced in the senate earlier that he would ask recon Sidcration of the recent action Tn striking from the tariff bill the re- talatory provision relating to coal.
 He said his state was deeply in tcrested in the provision which per mitS the United States 10 levy duties on foreign coal, now free listed. in event tariffs were placed by other countries on American coal. Jones

Berlin Farmers Face S25,000 Loss as Town Is Placed in Corn Borer Restriction Area Market Cut From Sup- ply Source.

With Berlin in he qrarantined district and New Britain net the transportation of many vegetables, particularly sweet corn, from here to the neighboring city is forbidden, cutting off val able source of revenue.
 The feared S25,000 loss in income this year is held to be even more serious than the cutting off ot New Britain's source of supply, for that city can buy its corn and vegetables elsewhere while farmers here are threatened wlth annlllilation.
 Borcr Found in Berlin
 The dreaded borer. which shat ters corn crops and jnhabits celery rnubarb green beans in the pod. beat tops, gladIoli, dahlias, and other Towering plants has been found m the town of berlin, and state snG federal authorities have established @ strict quarantine between Berlin md New Britain. This quarantine means that absolutely no corn can be moved from Berlin to New Brit ain during the coming year and that all other vegetables will have 10 ne inspected when loaded and permits issued for their transporta- tion.
