Fruits and vegetables are grown in profusion in Mr. Hoover of California and clsewhere. The Hawiey-Smoot tariff bill provides higher duties on imported cherries, grapefruit, peanut beans, onions, mushrooms, almonds, tomatoes, pine- apples, ripe olives, ips, rutabagas and other items, but there are no changes in rates on various others, including lemons, potatoes, oranges. raisins, peaches and peas. Tossed on the Floor Thus were fruits and vegetables thrown onto the floor of the house In the senate the same thing had already been done by Senator Cope- land of New York, who introduced an amendment to the farm relief bill which would exempt fruits and vege- tables from the relief provisior The three-billion dollar fruit and vege- table industry has become greatly ex- cited over this resolution and because fruits and vegetables are raised in so many states senators have been bom- barded by telegrams concerning the resolution from nearly everywhere Both houses of the California legis- lature have protested, at the instance of the large California cooperatives. But the fruit and vegetable inter- ests appear to be seriously divided over the question whether or not they want to share in the benefits of the farm relief bill—divided, in fact, over the question whether their inclusion under the bill's provisions would do the farmer more harm than good. ome state | his state, demanding full and equal privileges with other crops. The Na- tional Horticultural council has |lodged protest with various senators | at the proposed elimination, asserting ithat the fruit and vegetable industries |are in a bad way. | Numerous growers of North Caro- \tina have similarly wired Senators | Simmons and Overman and the chair- {man of the Ohio farm bureau has wired Senator Fess urging defeat of he amendment. A dozen citrus-fruit j organizations and chambers of com- | merce in Florida have protested to | Senator Fletcher. | On the other hand the American Fruit Growers, Inc, has wired Sen- j ator Jones from Yakima, Wash. urg- ing exclusion of perishables on the {ground that their marketing is a highly organized and efficiently functioning indus’ which would be seriously disturbed if the farm bill were applied to it. Senator Glass of Virginia has been hearing from apple growers, asking that their fruits be excluded from the bill. And the West ‘ginia Horticultural association and Iseveral others are urging Senator | Hatficld to vote for the amendment. Opinion Badly Divided Part of the difference of opinion may be explained by the charge of Ithe National Horticultural associa- | tion that the amendment is “fostered | by dealer and shipper organizations.” | But opinion among the fruit and ver- jetable growers appears to be divided | nevertheless. All of which does not affect the average farmer who, the Department of Agriculture says, has suffered an average loss of $3.34 since 1921 on every tillable acre devoted to raising corn, wheat, cotton, oats and hay. The administration relief measure, if passed without the debenture plan. will be admittedly only experimental. There is an annual large surplus in the six so-called basic crops—wheat, corn, hogs, cotton, rice and tobacco— so the tariff won't help raisers of those crops, as it will many fruit and vegetable growers. In spite of the crisp, almost bitter cold of the day. Tony waited on the little front porch of the Ross house while the doctor departed and the few arrivals approached. And her heart felt as cold as her hands, which were tightly clasped about one of the weather-beaten posts. For the vis- itors, incongruously splendid in that humble street, were her father and the man whom she had promised to marry. Both tall, both dark, both amazingly good-looking, the heart of any girl might have thrilled to the thought that they both belonged to her. But Tony shivered, and felt that her father had betrayed her in per- mitting Dick Talbot to come here, of all places. To the Ross home, which ‘was sacred to the Tony of yesterday and the Sandy of yesterday, today and forever. “Hello, Offspring! Pat Tarver hailed her before he reached the steps. “Who's the mysterious stran- ger with the little black bag? Looks like a doctor—" “Dr. Williams," Tony answered eurtly. “Mom Ross has sprained her ankle. I'm going to stay with her for @ week and take care of her . Hello, Dick! What are you doing here?” The boy flushed. “I—I wanted to see you, Tony, and your father told me you were here. 1 persuaded him. to let me come along.” Pat Tarver chuckled, as he stooped to kiss his daughter. “Having a faint recollection of how it feels to be in | love, I wasn't too hard to persuade.” “That was sweet of you, Pat,” s told him with assumed cheerfulness. “But I'm afraid there's going to be no time for the billing and cooing that you are evidently looking for- ward to, you sentimental old darling. I've got to cook our Thanksgiving dinner, if we're to have one, which reminds me that I'd better baste the turkey right now or it will be utterly spoiled. You'll have to run along, Dick. Sorry!” “Fight it out between you,” Pat Tarver grinned. “I'm going in to sec Mrs. Ross.” Tony was about to follow when Dick Talbot caught her arm and swung her around to face him, his black eyes smoldering, his nostrils flaring with anger. “Listen here, Tony! You can’t treat me like this! You haven't let me see you for nearly a week, and now you say you're going to stay in this dump for a week, nurs- ing another man’s mother- “Don't drag Sandy into it!” Tony cried. “I'm going to nurse Mrs. Ross because she is one of the best friends | T have in the world and she needs me. You know as well as I do that Sandy is in New York. but even if he were here, he couldn't stay at home with her, and I'd take on the job—" “Have you forgotten already that you've promised to marry me a week from Saturday?” “No, I haven't forgotten,” answered coldly. “Don't fea! ‘Tony Tl keep . | my _word—if you want me ti The boy laughed, a short, mirthless sound. “So that’s your game, is it, Tony? You want to make me s0 sore that I'lt break it off. Well, I won't.” “Let's not quarrel, Dick,” Tony ai swered evenly. “I'm not trying to break it off, and I'm not trying tc ‘make you sore. I'm merely trying to help a friend who has meant a great | deal to me. Incidentally, I'm count- ing on this coming week's meaning a lot to both of us—to you and me, I |mean . . .
