THE present low price now charged for sugar
] goes far beyond the question Of depressed
prices in general Its roots lie in serious
overproduction which has been brought about
BY the world wide battle for markets between
the beet sugar and the cane sugar interests
Because American supplies Of sugar come
largely from cane sources, the importance Of
beet sugar production is not as generally
appreciated as it should be.
Before the outbreak Of the World War the
worlds sugar bowl was filled practically on an
even basis by both beet and cane producers.
The total world production Of beet sugar was
around TO- 900 900 tons, with cane sugar running
somewhat more, but considerably less than
Il, 900 900 tons.
Most Of the beet sugar was produced in
Europe, less than 700 900 tons coming from the
beet fields of the United States.
The war, Of course cut deeply into the beet
production and resulted in the shortage Of
sugar which sent prices to such fancy heights
as IS to 30 cents q pound when it could be
had at all.
Cane sugar producers having the field largely
to themselves stepped up production until they
had reached in 1919-1920 . total Of nearly
$4,000 600 TONS or an increase of 100000 tons.

Battle for Supremacy Brings Sugar Surplus

BY that time also beet sugar production had
dropped of nearly 100000 tons.
However when 1920 arrived, the old compe-
tition began again. Cane sugar made up about
80 per cent of the world supply and beet sugar
only about 20 per cent. During the next 10
years cane sugar production grew by leaps and
bounds until it was well over 20, 900 tons, or
almost double the pre-war total.
Beet sugar production also increased until
it was more than 100000 tons over the pre-
war total while in the United States the output
was nearly double the 1912 figure.
In the meantime the demand for sugar had
dropped of somewhat, leaving condition with
the supply nearly "a 900 tons and the de-
mand none too pressing for about 100000
tons.
Such q situation was well-nigh ruinous for
the sugar industry as a whole. In fact so low
was the price offered that Western sugar beet
raisers were offered only "a q ton for their
product, far less than the cost Of production.
The same calamitous condition existed in Cuba,
where an effort was made to correct the stu
alton by drastic curtaiment Of crops. How
ever, Cuba suffered more than usual by reducing
acreage and at the same time getting far less
for the small amount Of sugar raised.

THE preventative season for hay fever, that
] is for the greater part Of hay fever, Is at
hand. About two-thirds Of all cases of hay
fever occur In the Fall and Of this two-third
portion. practically 90 per cent is due to
ragweed.
It Is, of course, almost impossible to prevent
some ragweed from developing. Eradication Is
a HOPELESS task but the extent to which it grows
can be materially reduced.
Ragweed pollen under normal circumstances
will carry about 10 miles, which would make 1t
impossible, of course, to eliminate the pollen
from city the size of washington. Much
can be done, however, to limit the extent OF the
attacks in the case Of the worst sufferers and
perhaps eliminate altogether the attacks upon
those who have light cases.
Cutting of ragweed stands twice a season will
help materially. It should be cut first before it
flowers and then again before the new branches
on the stubs come into flower. Wherever rag

weed even though the person discovering its
presence is not subject to the distressing disease
The disease is much more serious than IS

The serious asthma which accompanies hay

The innoculation with specially prepared

of them Ezra had heard enough during his
evening and morning in Liverpool to know
that some Of those riders were likely enough
to be carried off the course, bruised, broken,
or dead, and that any minute an ambulance
down back of the stand might be changing its
way across the field toward invisible tragedy.
A horse to be shot man to be mourned!
They didn't matter.
Zoe was jumping up and down. LOOK!
Look! Look!" she cried.
Her arm was pointing far off toward his
left to a corner Of the great plain where fewer
than a corporal's guard Of black specks were
swimming together in the midst OF green
sea, rising in q group, falling in group, and
travelling toward their one great fateful de-
cision like bullets toward their target
THE specks became midget mounts and riders.
] The black of them turned to significant
color. Half a mile away perhaps, i've jumps
from the straightaway and water hazard in
front of the stands, Ezra, Zoe, and the other
thousands could begin to pick out which horse
was which. A sudden murmur began In the
stands like the roar of surf on a stormy shore.
Its Master Dick It's Master Dick!" shrilled
Zoe, clutching Ezra's arm SO fercely she al
most threw him off his balance. ooh, Ezra!
There's our horse! He's way in the lead!
Come on, Master Dick! Come on!'
For all the iron grip of her arm on his, Ezra
could feel her shaking with fever. He cast
q swift look at her and saw that the girl was
actually crying. Thousands were shouting
similarly around them, but after one hOrTif1ed
gaze at that American horse who was thunder
ing toward them Ezra turned back to Zoe.
"Oh! Isn't 1t marvelous!" she cried. Don't
YOU love it? Come on, you Master Dick! With

Ezra's fists were clenched in his pockets to
keep from dizziness. Could it actually be true
that against every law of chance this one
selected animal should triumph in such Q
gamble? Did he love it? He loathed It!
He saw five horses come dashing up to the
water gap and go over it safely, with Master
Dick two lengths ahead, and not another entry
there that he recognized, except that riderless
French filly-that absurd gray animal which
was about q length In the rear of these lead
ers having taken it so firmly into her brain

like the loss Of a jockey could ever deter her.

That American horSe-right from his own land
was absolutely the best of the lot, and would
win in a canter. He could feel it coming.
Minutes minutes of enigma. Then came the

Light Company Plant |;
Plum in Fight of Two
townships.

With the prize a $5,OO0,00O addi-
ton to taxable property, Perry and
Decatur townships waged a bound
airy battle Tuesday night before the
house committee Oh the affairs of
the city of Indianapolis. Each
sought to establish right to include
the plant of the Indianapolis Power
and Light Company in it's territory.
Bills before both the house and
senate would place the plant per-
manently in Perry township, and
proponents of these measures point
ed out to the committee that Perry's
tax rate means $4,000 more for the
township treasury than Decatur
with a lower tax rate would be able
to collect.
The committee did not indicate at
the close Of the hearing what it's
recommendation will be. Represent
alive Albert E. Schmollinger Dem,

would require the wisdom of Solo
mon to decide.
