DEPLORABLE STATE
AMERICAN AGRICULTURE. (Per United Press Association.) Wellington, August 19. A technologist in the United States Department of Agriculture, Mr E. W. Brandes, was a passenger by the Maunganui on his way to Brisbane to attend a conference of sugar-cane-growing experts. In an interview he said that agriculture generally in the United States to-day is in a deplorable condition and producers of staple crops, such as cotton, corn and sugar, were being given what amounted to a Government subsidy in the form of benefit payments from the Federal Government.
