Speaking before the House food
Investigating committee, Repre-
sentative j. Hardin Peterson stat
eel, IF it would just be possible
for Florida to produce the sugar
she can produce there wouldn't
be any shortage"
Peterson arranged for Josiah
Ferris, Jr., assistant secretary of
the United States Sugar Corpora
ton and spokesman for the Flor
ida Cooperative Sugar ASSocia-
ton, to appear before the COM
mittce and explain the situation
as it exists in Florida where pro-
duction is now far below its po-
tential because of legal restric-
tons and scarcity of manpoWer
and materials.
Both Representatives Peterson
and Rogers filed statements with
the committee endorsing Ferris
stand.
Ferris told the committee that
in the Everglades area sugar cane
planting could be increased $4,000
acres in year and l25,000 acres
in two years.
This would mean 10000 addi-
tional tons of sugar in one year
and 100000 tons in two years,
thus providing employment di-
rectly and indirectly for 78,l25
persons" Ferris stated.
IF sufficient labor and machin-
cry is made available at once,
Florida's crop will be ready for
harvest about October Is, and
will provide the present ration,

Your Psychologist
By Dr.. w. II. Young

Nervous breakdown Is becoming
common. The place of present.
day life strains many to the break
ing point. Hundreds of people
are suffering from peculiar SEN
sations throughout the body
numbness, weakness, backache,
headache. poor circulation, dizzi-
ness, ringing in the ears, and a
variety of other terrifying symp-
toms.
These sufferers are usually told
there is nothing wrong with them,
that they should get grip upon
themselves. But there is some
thing definitely wrong, and they
need competent help. There are
influences at work which they do
not understand. and their nerves
are nearing a breakdown.
Nervous breakdown is not
caused by overwork as many sup
pose. 1t Is due to worry, con-
scious or unconscious, usually the
latter. Worry can wreck the
strongest nervous system. and the
victim may not know he Is really
worrying Psychology can locate
the subconscious troubles and
eliminate them. Health Is re-
stored when such treatment is
applied. Phone MA 1925. DR..
Young will give you the details.
