Fear and this year Is a potent threat to the corn

The greatest enemy Of the bean crop, the

Farm Imports Heavy

CO much has been written about the value to
- farmers of diversifcation of crops and the
danger to their property in overproductiop in
some lines that some figures might perhaps be
informative. 1t is estimated that the agricui-
tural products brought into this country which
could be raised here would require 10000 600
acres. The products in question are all pro-
tected by the tariff law of 1928.
Reducing the acreage to exact figures, the
vegetables imported would require $4,000
acres for production. Soybean oil takes an
other 160, 900 acres corn, "a, 900 acres; peanuts
$1,000 acres; figs, 81, 600 acres; meats and meat
products, 341 900 acres; dairy products, 450,0 900
acres; cattle, hogs and sheep, $4,000 acres
and last of all, for fax production. 2,3000 900
acres.
This tremendous acreage, if taken away from
wheat and cotton and devoted to the products
in question, would go far toward solving the
farm problem.

Department Plays Solomon

T HE Department of Agriculture, through the
! periShable agricultural commodities act has
become a sort Of Solomon sitting in judgment
on one Of the most controversial branches of
The food industry.
The shipment of perishable foods, particu-
lary vegetables and fruits, has always been
beset with contention. Rapidly f1uctuating
prices, unfavorable weather conditions and
other circumstances arise to make the purchase
of these commodities at distant points a mat
ter of great risk. Huge losses may follow where
nice profits were indicated at the time of ship
ment.
Naturally, where such a situation of uncer-
tainty exists, it was not uncommon to find a
purchaser, faced with loss unduly particular
in the condition of the goods received Rejec-
tions were common before the Federal statute
adopted. The shipper was caught in AZ
tight position when a receiver refused to accept
the goods shipped. Because of the perishable
nature Of the produce, heavy loss was certain
and untrustworthy dealers were able to take
advantage Of the shipper to buy at almost any
price
The new law, however, changed all that and
the Secretary of Agriculture is empowered to
sit as court to hear cases involving the ship
ment of perishable foods If, in the opinion
of the Federal officials, either side to a contro
versy is entitled to damages the decision is
made and sets the amount to be paid to the
innocent party.
A case illustrating the working of the law,
in this instance to the advantage of the pur-
chaser rather than shipper, involved the pur-
chase of five carloads Of Bartlett pears on
which 500 car was paid a deposit. The
order specified that the pears be green sound
and suitable for storage upon arrival in Cleve-
land from oregon. The first car received was
found to contain hail-damaged pears in various
stages of ripeness. AS result, the purchaser
refused to accept them and five other cars sub
Sequently ordered.
The shippers thereupon made complaint
against the purchaser who put in counter
claim not only for the return of the $500 de-
posit but with interest which was awarded,
making a total Of $545.
The case is typical of those brought before
the department, but they are based, of course,
on complaints from both sides, the duplicity
when any exists, being not peculiar to one side
exclusively.

u. S. Buys Beans Abr0ad

THE United States, although producing about
] As per cent of the worlds supply of dried
beans still is large importing country. The
beans Of Japan and Chile, in particular.
find their way into the markets of this country,
competing successfully with the American prod
uct because Of the higher price of beans in this
country
Faced with heavy carry-over from last year
the farmers of the United States have planned
to reduce their acreage about l " per cent, but
planting intentions as outlined to statisticians
of the Department Of Agriculture indicate that
the acreage to be planted If yielding average
crops will produce about "A, 900 900 bushels,
1000 900 more than were produced last year.
Should this be true and crops of foreign coun-
tries follow indications gathered in Is beam
growing nations, the market will find heavy
supply on hand.

The American note, which reached

The view was taken this was all
