dustry; Rudolph Miller, secretary
of the agricultural conservation as
sociation, discussed the AAA pro-
gram as it pertained to the indus
try; L. Ct. Goar told of experiments
at the Meloland station.
The world presently produces 35
million tons of sugar annually, ac-
cording to Frank Beyschlag, more
than double the amount produced
in 1909, but per capita consumption,
particularly in the United States,
has also increased during the same
period
In 1870 the per capita conSump-
ton of sugar in the United States
was 40 pounds. Today it is 105
pounds.
Beets produce % per cent OF the
worlds sugar supply, Beyschlag said,
cane in Louisiana and Florida pro-
duces per cent, and the remainder
comes from cane fields in the tro-
pics.
Supplies of sugar in the United
States were placed on quota basis

was passed by the secretary of agri-
culture. Under the act the secretary
of agriculture may proportion al
lotments when the supply in the
United States exceeds 6,660,0O0 tons
National Allotment
The nations allotment in 1888
allowed sugar beet acreage OF
100000, and CALIFORNIA; allotment
was 170,8l2. The sugar act also
provides for an excise tax of 531a
cents per hundred pounds. Import
sugar carries the same excise tax in
addition to other taxes The govern
ment in turn pays 60 cents per
hundred back to growers who COM
ply with the program.
Miller discussed requirements OF
the AAA program and Goar describ.
ed list of experiments at the Melo-
land station. Tests indicate, Goar
said, that early paintings of sugar
beets, in late September, produce
better yields than later dates.
Goar cautioned, however, that
early paintings are more expensive,
because of the increased need for
care against insects.
Goar also discussed interesting
fertilizer tests which revealed that
application of "a pounds of actual
nitrogen to the acre gives the same
results as an application of 42O
pounds to the acre.

In what country DO builders
make every effort 10 put the roof
on a house first
The answer is Hawaii-and con-
tractors have a very good reason
for their unusual practice. II seems
that as soon as the roof is on. the
contractor can collect one-third of
the construction costs. Therefore.
when enough studding has been
erected to bear the weight. on goes
the complete roof
1t is also interesting that in
Hawaii few houses have double
walls. The outside sheathing does
duty as the interior wall as well.
The building industry is pre-
pairing to cooperate in the annual
fall modernization and repairing
drive.
Manufacturers dealers, financial
institutions, newspapers magazines.

YWiy Says Reds
Still Hold SRA

Asscmblyman Sam Yorty, chairman
of the assembly relief investigating
committee, declared today Commu-
nists still have too much influ-
ef1ce in the SRA, but said the
committee believes Relief Admins
traitor S. @. Rubinow will make
a sincere attempt to eliminate
this influence.
Yorty accused Walter T. Ballou.

Olson of leading political clique"
which is attempting to sabotage
the SRA.
He added that Rubinow frankly
stated he found the SRA in a
"deplorable condition" when he be-
came administrator July l.
Yorty continued:
This, of course, places the gov
ernor in an embarrassing position
since he is now endeavoring to
purge members of the legislature
who insisted the SRA needed clean
ing up
