have lived on the same farm in
Redwood county for so years April
next, and I believe / know what the
farmers want and should have. We
want the Blue Eagle. We want the
same privileges and protection as you
have under your code. Such code
would put our business on a health
ier basis and would remove some of
the abuses which have caused mort
gage foreclosures among the farm
erS.
Your code provides that employees
should be paid reasonable wage; it
provides that the employer should
take a reasonable profit on the work
he does; it also penalties selling be-
low cost.
We farmers realize that business
man cannot continue selling below
cost and stay in business. AS farm
ers we are entitled to the same sort
of code as you have in order that we
may continue in business. We want
as low rate Of interest on the best
security in the world which is

as big business is getting. We want
also to eliminate unfair competition,
such as importing foreign meat pro-
ducts and all agricultural products
produced by cheap labor in foreign
countries.
In short. we want Blue Eagle
put up on the entrance of our farm.
Why should we not have the same
protection as you publishers?
Yours truly,
John Hines.

In other words, the duty is 80 cents
instead of So. But when sugar is
brought in for reshipment the duty
is refunded.
The American refiners have found
thew can import raw sugar from
Cuba, paying the 90-cent duty, ana
then refine it and ship it to another
country and in doing so collect
refund from the government OF
So. This bounty" permits them to
lay the refined product down IN
London at l cent a pound, freight
and British duty not paid, the net
profit" on the refund bringing the
price up to 81 cents a pound.
"ATE & LYLE, LTD, of London,
largest of the British ref1ners
and a power in the London market,
naturally has resented the entrance
of the American competition on
such a price basis. They, in turn,
according to all accounts, have
warned distributors in their district
not to handle the American product
under penalties which they are IN
a position to apply. The net result
has been tnat Americans have been
able to dispose of relatively little
sugar.
The argument with the Cubans
has arisen over the minimum price
of 2.29 cents set by Cuba, which
became effective Sept. l. American
refiners claim that this minimum
price should not be applied to sugar
for which contracts were made prior
to the effective date. The Cubans
claim otherwise. They will not per-
nit sugar to leave the country un-
less the minimum price is paid.
y
n EFINERS in this country re-
N quire about 100000 tons of raw
sugar to fill their needs this year.
Of this about 100000 tons already
have been contracted for. Two Gu
ban members of the Suger export
permit committee are in New York
at the present time, and are said to
be angling for the additional 100000
tons required. 1t is reported in the
trade that they are willing to waive
the minimum price and accept 2.18
cents, but have not been success
full even on that basis.
While the ships of the American
ref1ners are tied up at the Cuban
ports unable to load, the trade in
New York is wondering how the
whole thing is going to work out. 1t
is far from satisfied with the results
of the Presidents efforts.

INDUSTRY TREND
Survey Is in Connection with
Federal Plan for
HomeSteadS.

By Scripps-H0Ward Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.-The
bureau of subsistence homesteads,
shown by a treasury statement to
have a second S25,O00,000 fund set
aside for it, has announced a ma
tion-wide study of industrial trends
as the basis for location of future
projects.
A new map of the nation, charg-
ing the movement of industries, will
be prepared by Dr. William E.
Zeuch, chief of the divisions plan
ming section.
Forty subsistence homestead pro-
jects have already been approved
and ALLEGATIONS made to them out
of a s25,OOO,OO0 appropriation from
the National Industrial Recovery
Act. The treasury statement showed
they have also been allocated
similar amount from the emergency
appropriations bill for the present
fiscal year.
Explaining that the industrial
trend study would permit long range
planning of homesteads, DR.. Zeuch
said that it would look ahead for a
period of twenty to thirty years be-
cause this is the period for amorti-
zation of the purchase price of
homesteads.
Industrial permanency is one of
the chief factors we must consider
in establishing homestead COM
munities," he said. Industry is
continuously on the move. We in
tend, by our study, to gain a thor
ough knowledge of the probable di-
rection of the movement in the
various industries. Then, with this
background, we can not only go
hand in hand with industry, but
point the way to the new direction
in which industry can regionalize
itself on sounder economic lines"
