COST OF CROOK
COM DISCLOSED
Preliminary Report of Depart-
ment of Agriculture Finds A
"Bulk Line" of 28 Cents a
Pound for Crop of 1918
Washington, March 19.—Represent
alive Robert L. Doughton, in attack-
ing the failure of the republican ma-
jority in congress to aid the farmer
to feed the world by. carrying out the
rural good road* program initiated
by recent democratic congresses, de-
nounced this as a "penny-wise and
pound-foolish economy bound to work
great injury to the entire country."
"What we need to do is to encour
age and stimulate and not discour-
age those engaged in the most lm
portent of all pursuits—that of rais-
ing food for our own people and the
hungry nations of the world," said
representative Doughton.
The democratic sixty-third congress
inaugurated a comprehensive good
roads program providing federal and
for states that agreed to stand a pro-
portionate share of construction, said
congressman Doughton, and he point-
ed out that the last congress, also
democratic, had increased the total
Washington, March 26.—A prelim
inary report on the cost of cotton
Yield pei* acre, in general, shows a
controlling influence upon cost per
pound. Where yields were high the
cost per pound was usually found to
be comparatively low, and vice versa.
For example, the operator who In
found to produce .100 pounds of cotton
per acre at a cost of $60 per acre,
produces at the rate of 20 cents per
pound, while the operator whose yield
is but 160 pounds, though he keeps his
acre cost down to $45, produces at the
rate of 30 cents per pound.
It is pointed out that the 'bulk line
as determined for these 842 cotton
farms, almost coincides with the price
actually received for the crop in ques-
tion, namely, about 29 cents. The
season of 1918 admittedly was an ex-
ceptionally prosperous one for the

for 1918, just issued Dy farmers from whom cost fig

the United States Department of Ag^
riculture, shows a "bulk line" cost of I
28 cents per pound of lint. At a price
fixed on this basis, 86 per cent, of the
cotton produced on the 842 farms
from which cost figures were obtain-
ed would have been produced at a
profit of 66 per cent. of. the farmers
concerned would have made money.

erage cost of production—23 cents

EIIBS * PROTEST
Chamber of Commerce of Uni-
ted States Seeks to Prevent
Reduction in Appropriation on
Behalf of Business Men
Washington, March 20.—O a behalf
of the business interests of the coun-
try, me Chamber of Commerce of
the United States has regisUrcd a
strong protest with congress against
♦he proposed reduction on tiic appro-
[nation for the Bureau of Foreign
and Domestic Commerce.
As reported out by the house appro
piiations committee, the bill carries
i n impropriation of only $1-5,000 for
the p.omotior. of foreign and domes-
tic commerce, as compsred with
*32",000 set asidte for thM purpose
by the last congress. This will abol-

Sec ritery of Commerce Alexander
has announced, and will be the most
Eeriois blow ever aimed at Americas
foreign trade a.it'. will to it at a time
when European and Japanese gov-
ernments are striving strenuously to
perfect their trade-promoting machin-
ery through greatly increased ap-
propriations. It will, the Secretary
of Commerce declares, "scrap the
American machine, the most effective
and smoothest running that any gov
ernment has ever been able to assem
ble at the very time when other gov
ernments are busily engaged in copy-
The protest against this interfer
ence with the development of Amer-
ica's trade, as lod'ged by the United
States Chamber of Commerce, took
the form of a letter to members of
congress
If the recommend*lions of the ap-
propriations committee are adopted,
the Chamber of Commerce letter
says, it will "cause great detriment
to the interests of the United States
in international commercial relations
The services of all American commer
cial attaches stationed in foreign
countries will be terminated on June
30, and the activities of the Bureau of
Foreign and Domestic Commerce will
on the same date be curtailed.
••This would appear to be a reversal
of recent American policy. Legisla-
tion has been enacted to permit the
American business concerns to coope-
rate in their export trade, with su-
pervision from the Federal Tradle
Commission. As late as December
legislation has been enacted to permit
cooneration in international finance,
