THROWING OFF PAPER-WEIGHT
BALLAST
The heavy thud ot the Sunday
newspaper as It Is heaved upon the
front porch will soon be a story of
the past Conditions of paper pro
duction in the United States have
been becoming more and more criti
cal since war conditions upset the in
dustrial balance in this field. The
industrial "balance" now presents an
aspect of acute inclination, with the
"demand" aide of the scales some
what inclined to be desperate, as the
product soars almost beyond eight.
"There is a constant tendency tor
demand and production to equalise,"
ays the economist The publishers
fit the nation reply, "Quite true, but
we have a variation." The "variation"
will be seen In the smaller sized
editions of the large city newspapers,
following . resolutions adopted last
week by the Amercan Newspaper
Publishers' association. The decision
was rendered by that stern Judge,
Necessity, upon a showing of the
facts. Production has reached the
maximum, and no surplus exists.
There is an impending increase in
demand. Our mills are called upon
to fill demands formerly cared for by
foreign production. Monopolistic
prices already govern the market An
increase here is 'inevitable. Either
the price must be paid, or the vol
ume of demand diminished. That
price is considered prohibitive so
necessity orders the diminution of
demand, and organization again
scores a victory. Already the Phil
adelphia press limits itself to a max
imum of eighty pages of print per
week. The constancy with which de
mand and supply tend to equalize Is
again proved, but the spectacle Is pre
sented, of an organized nation-wide
altering of the demand side of the
balance. The public will now view
the throwing off of ballast, till the
scales again are adjusted.

Moisture Conditions Affecting the
Beet-Sugar Industry
Although conditions ot temp fea
ture must be taken into consldera
tlon in selecting sites for beet-sugar
factories, those of rainfall must also
be studied. The sugar beet requires
a certain amount of moisture in order
to produce its normal crop. This
moisture must be derived either from
precipitation in the usual way or from
Irrigation: or else the soil must be
of that particular quality which will
allow subterranean moisture to reach
the rootlets ot the plants. Where there
is little subterranean moisture, and
where Irrigation Is not practicable,
the culture of the sugar beet should
not be undertaken unless an average
summer precipitation of 2 to 4 Inches
per monh can be depended on. . There
are many conditions of agriculture,
however, under which the beet be
comes quite independent of extremes
of precipitation. The beet may thrive
with very little rainfall or with a
great deal. If properly 'cultivated In
a suitable soil.

Existing means have failed, the
president replied, and declared he Is
moving to strengthen the principle
of arbitration, so that such a situa
tion cannot arise again. Regarding
the eight-hour day, he said In the
telegram to Pope, "the whole eco
nomic movement of the tlmo seems
to point to It."
The opinion In Washington today
Is that demands on tho president by
the railroad heads of arbitration of
the cluht-hour day question, there
fore, will not move him. The conflict
would seem to be Irreconcilable, but
the feeling In Washington Is unmis
takable that tn soino manner the
strike will bo avoided.
The men apparently are satisfied
to have won the president's support
of the eight-hour day. On other
points they may be expected to yield
should a deadlock bo reached on the
present negotiations and further ef
forts be necessary.
