olution adopted by the senate, to investigate
conditions of the tobacco
trade, including prices to producers
and consumers.
Senator Smith, democrat, of South
Carolina, author of the resolution, told
the senate that there was no market
for tobacco of some grades and that
farmers were using the tobacco for
fertilizer. On the other hand, Senator
Smith said, prices of cigars and
cigarettes were at "their wartime
peak."
A change of prohibition enforcement
policy to effect strict compliance
with the law regarding liquor
permits was announced by Commissioner
Haynes.
In the past, Mr. Haynes said, leniency
was perhaps justified in dealing
with violations by persons to whom
permits had been issued, but, with the
passage of sufficient time to enable
one to acquaint themselves with the
provisions of the act, experience has
shown it to be necessary to inaugurate
a different policy.
"Violations of th3 law or regulations,
or of the terms of permits committed,
after the date of the announcement,
by those to whom permits
of any kind are or have been
issued, will hereafter not be condoned.
All Farm Crops Are Poor.

than estimated a month ago, 01,000,000
bushels less corn. 192.00O,0O0 bushels
less oats, 61,000,000 bushels less potatoes.
