AAA RESTRICTS BEET SUGAR
BUT ALLOWS MORE IMPORTS
Washington, May 18, 1936—
Secretary Wallace officially esti
mates that the people of the United
States will consume 351,000,000
pounds more sugar in 1836 than
they used last year. Exercising
the authority conferred upon him
by the sugar control act, the Secre
tary has therefore increased the
total of all sugar quotas from
6,535,088 to 6,632,516 short tons for
the current year.
But in estimating sugar con
sumption did Secretary Wallace al
locate the increase to the beet
sugar states? He did not. The
beet sugar quota for continental
United States remains the same
in 1936 as it was in 1935. Two
states, Florida and Louisiana,
which raise exclusively cane sugar,
were granted an increase of 118,
608,000 pounds.
Cuba, a foreign country, was
given most favored consideration.
Cuba this year is permitted by Sec.
retary Wallace to sell in the United
States 259,652,000 pounds more
sugar than she sold in American
markets in 1935.
The Phillipines, now independ
ent of the United States, are given
next favored recognition, and this
year will be allowed to increase
their sugar sales in the United
States by 139,894,000 pounds. The
Phillipines maintain a sugar lobby
at Washington headed by a former
democratic United States senator.
Hawaii and Puerto Rico, both in
sular possessions, and to whose
sugar corporations benefit checks
in excess of $1,000,000 have al
ready been paid by AAA are grant
ed substantial increases in sugar
quotas. The Hawaiian quota is in
creased 132,087,000 pounds and the
Puerto Rican quota is swelled by
112,310,000 pounds.
Not a single beet farmer in the
United States is permitted by Sec
retary Wallace to increase his beet
productioin this year over the
quota assigned him for 1935.
These facts and figures are taken
from official press release No. 1677
36, issued by the United States de
partment of agriculture.
Busy Bees Gather Pollen,
Sip Sweets at Same Time
Among nature's many unique
ways of doing different things is
her method of effecting the pollina
tion of different plants. Some
plants. It is true, carry out this
process without any outside aid
whatever, others use the winds as
their agents, while still others are
completely powerless to help them
selves even with the aid of the
wind. Probably the most common
of this type Is white clover, says
Pathfinder Magazine. One of na
ture’s cleverest plans Is carried out
before our eyes without our being
aware of it. Having omitted from
the structure of this plant any
means by which it can cross pol
linate its own blooms nature pro
vides a faithful agent. Most of such
work is carried on by the bee. The
blooms, having a substance which
the bee desires for food, attract the
bee to them. In the course of get
ting ids food he performs the re
quired service for the plant. Com
ing in contact with the stamens of
one bloom small grains of pollen
adhere to his body and are ttien
parried to other blooms.
In tests to determine what
amount of this work was done by
insects two equal sized patches of
white clover were chosen. One was
surrounded with screen to prevent
the entrance of any Insects and the
other was left entirely open. At
the end of the season the enclosed
patch yielded five shriveled seeds
as compared to the 50,000 healthy
ones yielded by the open patch.
Hedgehog and Porcupine
Are Entirely Different
A common error is to confuse the
hedgehog and the porcupine. The
hedgehog is by no means the same,
although there are similar charac
teristics. The hedgehog is a small
animal, the largest being about the
size of a large rat. They do have
spines mixed in with the fur on
their back aud those so protected
by nature, roll up In balls when at
tacked, after the manner of a porcu
pine. They feed largely on insects,
mice and eggs. About nineteen va
rieties are known to exist in Great
Britain, Europe and Asia.
The porcupine of the North Amer
ican continent Is a far largpr ani
mal, weighing as much as 35 and
40 pounds. Their quills or spines
cover the head and back and the
tall as well.
The porcupine Is largely a vege
tarian, feeding on bark and certain
leuves. As food It is considered
highly appetizing and in most sec
tions it is considered a boon to
hunters. It affords a food reserve
for those unfortunate enough to be
lost without ammunition. The por
cupine seldom hurries and when
approached by an enemy rolls up
with a sense of security. It is eas
ily killed with a club and for that
reason hunters are inclined to let
the porcupine live excepting in
cases of emergency.—Washington
Star.
Homesicknei*
Homesickness sometimes becomes
so Intense that the sufferer not only
loses ail desire to eat and sleep* but
develops a melancholia which leads
to insanity and death. In fact,
army medical ofiicers recognize it,
in extreme cases, as a disability
which warrants a furlough, or even
a discharge. In order to save a sol
dier's life.—Collier's Weekly.
Built the Pyramid*
Strictly speaking, the Pyramids
are really glorified graves' They
were built to be tombs for Egyp
tian kins of the fourth dynasty. Tha
(Ireat Pyramid was built about the
year 4700 B. C. by Khufu (or
Cheops). This pyramid Is 150 feet
higher than St. Paul's cathedral and
weighs about 6,840,000 tons.
The pyramids are a solid mass ot
stonework and contain at the cen
ter one or more tomb chambers,
reached by long galleries.—Path
finder Magazine.
Book* Were Whipped
During colonial days, books which,
offended were publicly punished by
being whipped or burned or both,
writes L. V. Monasterial, Manila,
Philippine Islands, In Collier’s
Weekly. One such case occurred in
Boston In 1754 when the hangman
burned in the middle of King street
a pamphlet which criticized a court.
About the same time another book
was sentenced “to be publickly j
whipt with forty stripes, save one,
and then burnt.”
