BIGGER SUGAR BEE CROPURGEDINU.S. Producers Flay Agriculture Department for Advising Against Increase. BY J. C. ROYLE, Special Dispatch to The Star. February 11.—Keen resentment was experienced today by representatives of the domestic producers of sugar. who are meeting here, over the action of the Depart- ment of Agriculture in advising farmers not to plant additional acre- age to sugar beets this year on the ®round that there will be a world surplus of sugar in 1925 and a big carry-over into 1926 The world surplus at the end of 1925 is placed at 4,133,117 tons, ac- cording to a survey recently com- pleted by one of the largest factors in the industry. The domestic pro- ducers freely admit there will be an excess of world sugar, but domes- tic production in this country is suffi- ent to meet only a part of the Amer- an demand. Department Attacked. The American growers complain that their own Department of Agri- culture in effect is saying that American production should be cut, down in order to provide an Amer- ican market for sugars imported from Cuba and possibly other coun- tries, Cuba, of course, having the advantage because of her preferential treatment under the existing tariff Domestic beet and cane growers say this is the very time American pro- duction should be encouraged. They resent the idea that they should be held down, even by suggestion, while the market is open for imports which will continue to be necessary a0 long as domestic production fails to meet th Nation's demands. It is held by the representatives of the American producers that the action of the department came at an unfortunate time—just when the American producers are fighting, as they say, with their backs to the wall Aagain the attacks of the Cuban nroducers upon the American tariff This attack, they claim, is an effort on the part of the Cuban producers solutely to dominate the Amer market. Increaved Average Likely. As a matter of fact it is not ex- pected that the crop of beets will vield anything like the amount of sugar produced last season, which was a banner year, but even so it is a4 question whether the beet sugar producers can or will comply with the suggestion of the department lontracts calling for a certain speci- fied acreage already are in effect in fmany growing districts. Some of ihess agreements provide for an in- crease of acreage. Again, beet sugar producers, fighting the competition of [lastern refiners, many of whom grow heir own Cuban raw sugar, must be lssured of a certain volume of pro- uction or they cannot operate conomically and successfully. Europe is bending every effort to ncrease production of beet sugar, and he additional output is expected to cach over 2100,000 tons this vear. jermany counts extensively on the ale of her sugar production in com- ing years to discharge the $200.000,000 fioan contracted in 1924 and other in- ebtedness. England is using every effort, including a subsidy, to assure broduction of sugar beets in Great Britain. % The inerease in European produc- tion is making more sugar from Cuba available for the United States and 1t is predicted there will be a balance in Cuba of over 3,900,000 tons for ex- port here. The prospects for a tre- dous Cuban sugar production this ar is not alarming to the American fineries which owyn and opera “uban plantations and mills. Obv lously they have the profit which mus laccerue to the grower, the grinder, and the refiner to counterbalance a tariff of 1.76 cents a pound in meeting com- patision with the domestic producer. How great the first two of those brofits have been is indicated by D. Babst, president of the Amer [Sugar Refining Co,, who nounced to stockholders that by rea- [son of its Cuban and other invest- ments their company had been able to work through four vears of inade- quate refining earnings to an in- creasingly strong financial position without modifying either its construc. tion or rehabilitating programs and now has over $31,000,000 cash on hand and no borpowin . INCREASED. NEW YORK, February 11.—The New York Transit Co, has au- thorized a quarterly dividend of 75 cents a share, payable April 15 to siock of record March 20. In five pre- vious quarters 50 cents was paid. DIVIDEND EVERYMAN’S INVESTMENTS BY GEORGE T. HUGHES. “LEGAL” INVESTMENTS, Many ultra-conservative investors confine their selections to the called “legal” investments. By term is meant such securities as the law allows savings banks to buy and trustees to hold. Requirements vary among the different States, some of the most strict along these lines be- ing New York, New - Jersey and Connecticut. * These cautious so- investors usually think that all thev have to do to insure safety is to confine their hold- ings to such securities as are legal in thelr own home State. In a gen- eral way this is sound, but there are enough exceptions to the rule to make it advisable to seek expert as- sistance before going ahead exclu- sively on this line. The banks do not follow these lists blindly. There is almost as much opportunity to pick and choose among these legal invest- ments as there is outside. The law, which governs such invest- ments of necessity, must lay down general principles. In New York State, for instance, only those rail- road bonds are legal investments on the stock of which dividends have been paid at a certain rate for a certain specified time. The law cannot take into account trend of earnings or the outlook for, any particular carrier. 1t must lay down a standard and let it go at that. Often there are just as comservative investments to be had outside the legal list and with a larger return, simply because the fact that a bond is legal for sav- ings banks creates an artificial market. Understand, these observations do not apply if you are limited by law as a trustee or otherwise to legal securities. Then you are compelled to restrict yourself regardless of aqually sound opportunities else- where. But, even if you are so re- stricted, it is essential If the best re- sults are to be obtained to have as- sistance in this highly technical de- partment of investments. A legal opimten is highly desirable as to ~aeiber a certain security is or is not a legal investment, and such aninions cannot be given by laymen. The best plan s to consuit a trust company or an investment banker.

ARTICLE NO. 30. ‘When, by reason of illness or ab- sence from home, additional time for filing an income tax return is re- quired, the taxpayer should address to the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, Washington, D. C, a re- quest for an extension. Collectors of internal revenue are not, as under preceding acts, permitted to grant such extensions. The request must be made before the return is due— March 15, 1925, if made on the calendar-year basis—and must con- tain a full recital of the causes for the delay. An extension of time for filing the return does not extend the time for payment of the tax or any install- ment thereof unless so specified in the extension. As a condition of granting the extension, the commis- sioner may require the submission of a tentative return and estimate of the amount of the tax and the pay- ment of at least one-fourth of the estimated amount. A tentative return should be mad, on the usual return form, plainl marked “tentative” at the top; con- tain a statement of the estimated amount of tax believed to be due, and be properly executed. No other data need be given. Tentative returns will not be accepted unless permission is obtained previous to filing. A copy of the authority to file the tentative return must be attached thereto. Where a taxpayer flles a tentative return and fails to file a complete return within the period of the ex- tension granted him, the complete return when filed is subject to the penalties prescribed for delinquency. Except in the case of a taxpayer who is abroad, no extension will be granted for more than six months. (Final articles in series.)

Amer. Ageats, N. Yo : How to Make Pine ; Cough Syrup at Home 1 E + Has no equal for prompt results. Takes but a moment to prepars, and saves you about $2. | SRR Pine is used in nearly all prescrip- tions and remedies for coughs. The reason is that pine contains several elements that have a remarkable effect in soothing and healing the membranes of the throat and chest. Pine cough syrups are combina- tions of pine and syrup. The “syrup” part is usually plain sugar syrup. To make the best pine cough rem- edy that money can buy, put 2% ounces of Pinex in a pint bottle and fill up with homemade sugar syrup. Or you can use clarified molasses, honey or_corn syrup instead of miar syrup. Either way, you make a full pint—more than you can buy ready- made for three times the money. It is pure, good and tastes very pleasant. i S You can feel this take hold of a cough or cold in a way that means business. The cough may be dry, hoarse and tight, or may be per- sistently loose from the formation of phlegm. The cause is the same—in- flamed membranes—and this Pinex and Syrup combination will stop it— usually in 24 hours or less. Splens did, toc, for bronchial asthma, hoarseness, or any ordinary throat ailment. Pinex is a highly concentrated compound of genuine Norway pine extract, and is famous the world over for its prompt effect upon coughs. Beware of substitutes. Ask your druggist for “2Y; ounces of Pinex,” with directions, and don’t accept anything else. Guaranteed to give absolute satisfaction or money re- flllided. The Pinex Co., Ft.
