representing 780,000 farmers, In adopt-
ing resolutions at its annual conven-
tion here urging
congress to in-
crease the tariff on
foreign sugar and
limit the d o t y-
frae entry of sugar
from the Philip
pines and Porto
Rleo la seen as
recognition that
the present eco-
nomic plight of the
domestic sugar In-
dustry la also a
factor In the farm
relief problem.
"We urge that
the situation regarding entry of
sngar into the United States be
brought to the attention of mem-
bers of congress without delay," the
resolutions set forth, "and we re-
spectfully ask them to use their best
efforts to place a limit on the ffoe
entry of sngar from the Philippines j into
snd Porto Rico to a point which will
guarantee reasonable protection to
the United States sugar Industry; and
that the tariff rate against all for-
eign sugar be Increased so as to give
adequate protection to this great
American enterprise."
Future of Crop at 8take.
"Future of sugar beets as a profit-
able American farm crop Is at stake,"
said Stephen H. Love, president of the
U. S. lieet Su«ar Association. "More
than 100,000 farmers in the United
States raise sugar beets, from which
they realize annually from WO,000.000
to $<50,000.000, while the beet sugar In-
dustry covering eighteen states rep-
resents an Investment tn factories
alone of over $250.000,000.
"Interests of the farmers who raise
the raw materials and the manufac-
turers who produce the finished prod-
uct are Identical. If the Invasion of
the United States market by foreign
sugar produced by cheap labor under
living conditions far tiekrw the Ameri-
can standard forces the price of do-
IpMtlc sugar below the eost of pro-
duction, the American beet farmer
and cane grower are faced with com-
petition they cannot meet Ninety-
nine per cent of all the sngar Im-
ported into this country Is supplied
either duty-free from our Insular pos-
sessions, or enters from Cuba, which
enjoys a tariff rate 20 per cent below
•hat paid by any other foreign coun-
ty.

Texas some time in the year 1907;
that shortly thereafter, in 1908 or

peared and plaintiffs have not heard
from him since; that plaintiffs went

verso, exclusive and peaceable pos-
