The c(jrn belt 

 farmer is ,^verlook- 

 iiifr an opportunity 

 which. if' seized, 

 would improve hi.s 

 marlu't and put dol- 

 lars in his pocket. 

 Corn suji4'' otfers 

 thi.'i opportunity- — a 

 sujrar manufactured 

 from a pilotiuct of 

 the corn belt — a 

 fine white sugar 

 geiurally used in hospitals <ind sani- 

 tariums because of it.s wholtisomeness 

 and food value — a sugar rated by the 

 Journal of the American Jh'ilical As- 

 sociation as "par excellence the physi- 

 ologic sugar." 



The purity, wholesomeness and food 

 value of corn sugar is accepted with- 

 out question by the medical profession 

 as well as the I'. S. Dei>artment of 

 Agriculture, which is respoiisible for 

 the administration of the Phre Food 

 and Prugs .Act of UI06. The iaihit:ary 

 system of didinitions and .standards, 

 under which this Act is administered, 

 reciuires special label mejitio^i of the 

 use of corn sugar, dextrose, as an in- 

 gredient, although declaration of the 

 use of imported foreign sugars is not 

 rejjuired. On account of this unfair 

 discrimination, i)Otential consumers of 

 large quantities of corn sugar refuse 

 to use it except in those products 

 where this discrimination doe^ not pre- 

 vail. 



Need Protection 

 The I'niled States sends between 

 four and live hundred millioh dollars 

 into for<'ign countries everyl year in 

 payment for sugar produced py cheap 

 foreign labor. A large portioh of that 

 amount could be directed into the 

 pijckets of her own citizens in return 

 for sugar of equal, if not [greater, 

 merit. Not content with allojwing the 

 foreign sugar interests to dompnate the 

 policy by which that portion of the 

 Pure Food and Drugs Act is admin- 

 istered, a very light tariff of .$2.21 per 

 cwt. has been placed on foreign sugar, 

 while C'uba is allowed a preferential 

 rate of 80 per cent of that paid by 

 other foreign countries. [ 



Bills To Be Introduced 



It is up to the farmers j-to work 

 through the agricultural organizations 

 to bring about a change of attitude on 

 the part of the Department of Agri- 

 culture toward the use of corn sugar 

 and through Senators and Representa- 

 tives in Congress to secure enactment 



of proper legislation to remove this un- 

 just discrimination against an impor- 

 tant product of the American farms. 

 r)ills having this purpose are no\v be- 

 fore the U. S. Senate and House of 

 Representatives, but thus far organ- 

 ized agriculture has withheld endorse- 

 ment. This attitude of aloofness should 

 be changed without delay. 



When we buy twenty-five pounds of 

 corn sugar, wo are buying a bushel of 

 our own corn. If we can help create 

 a market for corn at $1 or $1.2,5 a 

 bushel, it will be to our advantage to 

 do it.
