CORN GROWN AT LOSS IN STATE, SURVEYSHOWS Farmer? Have Deficit, Not Profit, on Crops; Similar Facts Over U. S. BY ROSCOE B. FLEMING WASHINGTON, July 26.—The Indiana corn farmer’s hard work brings him an actual deficit instead of a profit, when all expenses are considered, the Federal Tariff Commission has found. A similar condition exists among corn farmers of the Nation as a whole, figures for 1926 revealed. In that year it cost corn growers of Indiana, with those of Ohio and Illinois, 69.1 cents a bushel to deliver their corn to the elevator, when all costs, including interest on land and other capital were considered. Actual average return a bushel was 68.8 cents. Study Producing Costs It cost Indiana, Ohio and Illinois farmers an average of 79.2 cents a bushel to deliver corn to the elevator in 1927, and those farther west 76 cents, but returns were not given. The figures were obtained in a preliminary study of the costs of producing corn, preparatory to public hearings, Aug. 1, on the petition of mid-west corn growers to President Coolidge to increase the tariff on corn. The corn producers ask for a 22% cent tariff in place of the present 15-cent levy, claiming that imported corn, particularly from Argentina, is furnishing ruinous competition. In the western com belt, it was found, the actual cost in 1926 was 80.8 cents, but the farmer only got 71.3 cents. Average for the whole area surveyed was 75.2 cents and return 70.1 cents. The commission found that including freight, the average cost of putting American corn into New York was $1 a bushel, and into San Francisco and Seattle $1.19. Argentine corn was landed in New York for 82.8 cents and in San Francisco and Seattle for an aver-

age of 95 cents. To these figures the duty of 15 cents is added, however. The commission planned to send investigators into the Argentine last summer, but cancelled the trip because of public feeling against the United States in the southern republic. Costs of producing Argentine corn were made up from invoice at ports of entry. Imports into the United States were approximately 4,900,000 bushels in 1927 against a domestic crop of 2,731,000,000 bushels. Because so much United States corn is used on the farms, however, the commission also compared imports with sales at the ten primary markets—22o,77B,ooo bushels, of which imports were 2.2 per cent.

EASY MONEY . . . FROM “EASY” BUSINESS MEN

Hundreds of thousands of dollars are taken annually from business men in Indianapolis and Indiana by “special advertising” schemes of unscrupulous “advertising” promoters. Special programs, directories, manuals, thermometers, spurious newspapers with no definite circulation and hundreds of other excuses are used for “selling advertising,” but which are, in reality, “begging a donation.” Most churches, labor organizations, societies, lodges, etc., are too proud to ask for donations, but they will accept the sponsorship and endorsement of a program of a special publication in order to get a small percentage of the returns from the sale of “advertising” and thus, by their endorsement, and by the use of their name they assist the promoter to bleed the business men. Thoughtlessly they thus enable the professional promoter to make unwarranted assertions and convey wrong impressions that the business man is “expected” to support the organization or the society. He is coerced by insinuations and even representations that their patronage w r ill depend upon his support. We know of concerns that are on the “sucker list” of such promoters and “kick in” hundreds and even thousands of dollars annually because they haven’t the nerve to say no—or because they do not stop to get the facts. We are not financially interested in the sale of any advertising, so we can give you the unprejudiced facts if you will just call us. There is no charge for this service.

The knowledge that Hoover will want to retain Mellon it is believed by some Republican leaders, will be a campaign asset to the Republican nominee.
