DEMAND TARIFFS COVER PRODUCTS Farm Bureau Head Says Requests Not Radical. for protective tariffs covering farm products from peanuts to wool are features of the convention here of the American Farm Bureau Federation. President J. R. Howard declared today that sentiment from all sections of the country was solldlfylnp behind a tariff program, though In the past the farmer baa been regarded as a ‘"free trader.” *'Our tariff demands are not radical," Howard said. “All that we want is quality In tariff legislation as It pertains to Industrial and agricultural products.” The proposed duty on foreign peanuts Is not intended to make the bags at the ball parks smaller, but merely to afford protection for Southern growers, who turn much of their product Into oil. They now are facing serious competition from foreign imports of vegetable oils. “The agricultural Interests asking Congress for barriers to equal competition between foreign and American farm products are numerous and embrace virtually every section of the country.” Howard said. “For example, Michigan and California, the largest bean producing states, are clamoring for a duty on TSpanese beans, contending that shipments from that country where labor is comparatively cheap are ruining the industry In this country. Canadian shipments of potatoes in Michigan also are worrying American farmers. Canadian farmers can place potatoes on the Detreit market cheaper because of the freight rates than can the American producers In that , city.” Eheep producers are rigorously opposing shipments duty free of wool from Australia and meats from Argentina, claiming that the sheep Industry in the United Btates Is threatened with extermination as a result of this competition. Howard cited as an illustration of the fact that a week ago 2.000 Western sheep were sold on the Chicago market net 74 cents a head to the raiser when those same sheep cost $lO a head for the raiser to carry through the year. CHARITY SOCIETY TO MEET. The annual meeting of the Charity Organization Society will be held this afternoon at 4 o’clock in the assembly room of the Board of Tr>de Building. A report of the work of the organization durlng the past year will be made.

THE farmer of the Middle West is a business man who utilizes every labor or time-saving device to increase his profits. That’s why the farmer is coming to be the heaviest buyer of motor trucks. ✓ At seeding time he hauls his seed to the field, thus economizing hand labor; at harvest time he hauls his grain, potatoes, and other produce, to market, and distance being a less prohibitive factor, is able to secure better prices; and all through the year he hauls his live-stock and chickens to market, and is able to deliver them in better condition, and with a minimum of shrinkage. These are a few reasons why the farmer finds the motor truck profitable. It must be apparent, then, that in no other part of the nation is rural distribution of petroleum, products quite so important as m the states served by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). These are the farming states which supply not only the Middle West but the entire nation with food. The ten states served by this Company are well termed the bread-basket of the nation. To be of economic service to the farmer, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) maintains throughout the territory it serves a complete chain of bulk stations, with tank wagons for delivery throughout the rural districts. The farmer has come to know that he can depend upon this service even under most trying conditions. That busy, dark green tank wagon serves the farmer with all the faithfulness with which the milk wagon and the ice wagon serve the flat dweller in the city. The comprehensive distribution system of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is geared to service at the lowest possible cost. The money thus saved through large scale operation is passed on to the consumer by reasonable tank wagon prices throughout the territory served. That this complete and highly efficient system of distribution maintained by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is indispensable to the new type of business farmer, no one acquainted with the facts can doubt.
