NOW, you know, Bob was raised in
tobacco country. He has worked in two ciga-
rette factories; and have heard him say all of
them are just the same. He says there are lot
of pipes and things like that running through
the roofs of the factories and sometimes they
look different, but that the way cigarettes are
made is all the same.
Bob says all tobaocos receive the same sort
of drying-heat treatment, he called it. In one
factory, he says, they may talk about baking
the tobaccos and in another they call it another
name He says what they actually do is to dry
the tobaccos-reduce the moisture in then-and
that the machine that they all use is called
Dryer
''But when it comes to the quality Of tobacco.
that's quite different story. so Bob says; some
factories use mild, ripe tobacco, while others
think that thick heavy tobacco is good enough.
Bob knows tobacco and he tells me that it takes
good tobacco-mild and ripe-to make ciga-
rette as good as CHESTERFIELD.
"You know how it is when piece of fruit
tastes just right-not raw or sharp or too ripe
or tasteless-just pleasing and satisfying. Well,
that's the way it is with CHESTERFIELD

TAX RESEARCH
GETS TSATTENTION
OF FARM BUREAU

Among the many accomplish
ments of the farm bureau organiza-
ton, national, state and county, is
that of tax research.
Recognizing the fact that the
continual increase in taxes on prop
erty was one of the farmers largest
problems, the California Farm
Bureau federation some years ago
employed an able tax expert, Con
Won T. Ellsworth.
This department has accumulated
great volume of accurate data on
the tax system of California, this
data showing that farmers are sup
porting a greater burden Of taxa
ton than any other group. Twen-
ty-five per cent of the farmer s
gross income goes for taxes.
Ellsworth has outlined a system
of taxation to spread the burden
more equitably. This includes an
additional gas tax in place of the
road tax on property, and an in
come tax. He is also making a STU
dy of the effect of a sales tax on
agriculture.
The only way tax relief can be
secured is by pressure from the
counties on the legislature. For this
reason tax committees have been
formed by each farm bureau to stu
dy local tax problems and to lend
support to the state program.
Elimination of the 40 per cent

WASHINGTON, Oct. Is. U.P)-
Rejection by Japan of suggestions
that the United States be represent
ed in League of Nations considera-
ton of Sino-Japanese troubles in
Manchuria, further complicated
peace efforts today.
The United States had pinned its
hope for peace more than ever with
the League Of Nations as dispatches
indicated suspension of direct infor-
| NAL conversations between Japan
and China.
Dispatches announced Japan had
rejected suggestions that the League
council invited Prentiss Gilbert to
sit in" as the designated American
representative.
Gilbert had been the first man
in history officially designated by
the United States to attend the
council on behalf of his govern
ment.
Officials here emphasized that
this willingness to cooperate with
the League applies only to the Man
olblldllOll dllu IilCll Ollly III
the event the League should decide
to utilize the Kellogg anti-war pact
of the Washington nine power trea-
ty as a vehicle, the United States
being a party to both.
The stubbornness of the Manchu-
rian crisis is more clearly realized,
it was pointed out here, when the
developments leading up to the
present difficulty are understood.
The tenacity of the two powers is
due TO the fact that China regards
Manchuria as her promised land"
where millions of famished are find
ing a chance to spread out and live,
while Japan regards it as her eco
, nomic hinterland, a feeder empire to
supply food, fertilizer, coal and iron
for the crowded island of Nippon.

country as big as Montana, North
Dakota, Minnesota and Wisconsin
and much the same sort of country

LETTUCE SEED
) DEMONSTRATION
is SUCCESSFUL

Two successful lettuce meetings
demonstrating the value of treated
seed for rapid termination in hot
weather, were held yesterday by the
extension service at the E. B. Hunt
er and Sawdey- Hunt ranches.
Growers were present at both
. meetings and Paul Thornton, agri-
culture teacher at Central high
school, brought his class to one
meeting.
DR.. II. A. Borthwick, professor of
botany at the College of Agricul-
ture, Davis, who conducted the ex-
periments, explained the procedure
Seed was stirred in pals of water
for 10 or Is minutes, drained and
then placed under temperature of
1924 degrees for five days. Upon
removal from the ice rooms. the
seed was dried rapidly by being
placed in the sun.
Paintings of this treated seed
were made on the two ranches and
when compared with those of un-
treated seed were found to have
terminated more rapidly and pro-
duced a better stand.
r. p. Moore of the Imperial Ide
and Development company has been
greatly interested in the expert
ments and has offered space in the
cooler to all lettuce growers who
wish to prepare seed for early plant
ings next fall. Treated seed is val
liable only for early lettuce plant
ings.

United Press Staff Correspondent

GENEVA, Oct. Is. U.P)-Japan's
bold refusal to sanction American
participation in discussion of the
Manchurian crisis left members of
the League of Nations dazed today.
The league admittedly faced the
most severe test of its prestige since
it was organized. Failure to solve
the problem, it was felt, would SO
damage the league in international
opinion that its future power would
be so weakened as to be almost
valueless.
Three possibilities were open in
the present situation:
/. To abandon the idea of Am
erican participation, which, it was
felt would amount to humiliating
confession of weakness.
2. To decide that the invitation
to the United States is merely a
question of procedure, and not a
matter of policy, in which case
merely majority vote of the coun-
Gil and not an unanimous vote
would be necessary. To invite the
United States against Japan's wish
es, however, would be deemed Il
serious affront to Japan.
3. To use a concession by the
league on the United States invita-
ton to bargain for a concession by
Japan on Manchuria, which, how
ever, is regarded here as beneath
the dignity of the league.
Janonncn cnlrppc caid IN, hi
YoshiZaWa, Japanese delegate, in
presenting Tokio's reply to the
council, would argue that, If the
United States accepts the place it
desires on the council, it must as
sumo the responsibilities which
membership on the council entails.
Those responsibilities include Arti--
cles x and XVI.
Article x, around which the sem
ate fight against American partici-
patton in the league centers, obli-
gates members to preserve the ter
ritory of other members against ag-
gression. Article XVI, on sanctions,
provides for blockade and boycott
of any member of the league unlaw-
fully resorting to war.
Yoshizawa replied today to the
demand of Lord Reading of Great
Britain for an explanation of the
bombing of Tahushan and Kup-
angtau by the japanese. He sub
mitted dispatches which said:
''The planes, accommodating over
heavy concentrations of Chinese
troops in those districts, were at
tackled and dropped bombs, two
japanese aviators were wounded" 3"
