J, REYNOLDS TOBACCO Wmiton-Sahra, N. C. POXZFS DI" BKS WILL LOSE Heavily-Assets Estimated nt (100,000; Liabilities $7,000,000. Boston, Aug. 24.-A payment of less than fifty cents on the dollar to the creditors of Charles Ponzi's quick rich scheme, if official estimates of his liabilities are correct, was in-j dicated hy his statement of assets ::t the receiver's hearing to-day. As suring the Federal receivers that he had disclosed . all he knew, Ponzi i told of assets which Robert C. Dodge, counsel for the receivers, declared were "not worth anywhere near ooo,ono." Thc official e-M hunte of his liabilities, .nade 1 ftov nr. ? ii tl . I of his accounts, stands at $7.duo.nun. Ponzi said he thought ?his w?s i:i error. Ile claimed that lie was sol vent and had nearly four millions of assets to meet his liabilities, which he set at $3,000,000. The hearing was stormy at times. Daniel ll. Coakley, counsel for Ponzi, sur rendered to the receivers, to assist in meeting creditors' claims, checks for $25,000 each, which had been given to him and lo Daniel V. Mclsaac, associate counsel, as'retain ing fees, ile said that when he took ?he money ho thought Ponzi was a .uillionaire. hut that now he wanted everything to go to the creditors. Tells of Many Loans. Ponzi told of loans of $20,000 each to Henry Ohmielinski, president, nnd William S. McNary, treasurer of the llanover Trust Company, which was Ponzi's principal depository and which went to the wall with his coUapse. His announcement that he had loaned $1 0,000 to Daniel P. Des mond, treasurer of tho Lawrence Trust Company of Lawrence, was fol lowed by Desmond's resignation later in the day. Ponzi said he had made loans of several hundred dollars to the chief of police of Sharon and to John A Ray, lieutenant of po lice of Somerville. Showing Ponzi stubs for six chocks of $200.000 each, Mr. Dodge asked him who obtained the money, and for what purpose Ponzi replied that he had withdrawn the money himself to prevent attachments, and had deposited it later in other banks. INtnzi Smiles at Questions, Ponzi smiled when he answered in the negative a question whether ho had any stock of international postal coupons, which he had loid investors formed the basis of his new found road to riches. On the ground thal it might incriminate him. he refused to say .vivi her he had received any income fi. .1 Euro penn sources or whether he had any income except that from investor.': who bought his notes. Miss Lucy Meli. 1X years old, who since last. April ha?? been Ponzi's office manager, succeeded him on the stand. She said she knew of no USE "DIAMOND DYES" Dye right! Don't risk ma?? tcriftl.

WHEAT AND OATS THE OUTLOOK SOME FACTORS OF SUCCESSFUL SMALL GRAIN PRODUCTION IN 80UTHERN 8TATE8. { C. A. Whittle, Southern Soil Improvement Committee. Wheajl ls too closely related to hu man hunger ever to suffer a serious slump in demand. At this time the great wheat producing areas of Eu rope give no signs of getting imme diately back to normal production. So viet Russia, the greatest of all, offers no signs of growing wheat beyond-if even equal to-the needs of Russia. Roumania, Austria, Hungary and the Balkans are so depleted in men and means, and so disturbed with war and International politics, as to grow uot ovon enough small grain for their own hungry and starving millions. Other leading European countries are Im porters and not exportors of grain. The Amoricau will, thorefore, be tho hope of Europe's bread. In fact, the demand will continue to be very urg ent. LABOR-The labor requirements por acre of wheat ls IOBB. of course, than for cultivated crops. Whero la bor's scarce wheat and oats are, thoro ton), to be looked upon with favor. But tho labor problom involved in producing wheat' will not be complete ly solved unless the farmer goes in for large yields per acre. It requires no more preparation, and soed, to grow a big crop of who ? than a small one. Theroforo, the luti,.agent fanner will look well to hie soil treatment so that maximum yields may bo made at a minimum cost per bushel, Farm labor ls too expensive to neglect this precau tion. PREPARATION-Wheat and Oats do best on upland soils. Tho stiffer, firmer solis are preferred, But it doos aot pay to BOW theao cropo oa eroded, thin soiled slopes. If the crop is to ?follow cotton, oom or other cultivated crop, the soil may be dlBked. Deep breaking is not necessary. After drill ing in the seed, tho noll may be firmed nul smoothed with a" roller. PERTSLtZATION-Intelligent tertii Icatlon will pay on wheat and onto. Fertilisers will croate a good root de velopment and thue proteot the plant against winter-killing; thoy will hasten tho growth of wheat that has been town late on account of the Hessian fly; it will increase stooling or tiller ing, and make plumper grain and full er heads; and well-fed plants are also more rosistant to rust and other dis ir-ee! ?MC?. An application of nitrogen in late ?fluter or early spring will prove very ?elpful in giving the grain crops a vig orous new start. GOGO ?EED-A variety of wheat may bo good, but the g erm lue Ung power of tho need poor. A tanner ihould give more at lent lon to bis wheat and out ao?d?. Il" should find out their yielding record, Different itrains of n variety will have different yielding ability. Get only the best lt pays. Good seed includes clean seed. Make them smut-free by a dip into blue itone. Use only the varieties that have rust resistance power. Farmers of the cotton bolt would do well to go into the growing of cereals on a broader scale. Small grains fit In with a well arranged crop rotation They provide necessities, and thereby add to the ind?pendance of the farm er and to bis power to conserve the re turns from hlo money crops. BENEFITS OF RYE AS A WINTER COVER CROP. Southern soils aro much ia need o? organic matter or humus. An exec lent opportunity for providing lt ls at forded by rye sown in the fall an<i turned under hi the spring. Not only will lt inorease the organic content of the soil, but lt will conserve plan*. ? food and Increase the yields of sub ' sequent crop?. It uses nitrogen thai irould have leached out and would have I been lost during the fall and winter. It also utilises the phosphoric acid and potash that becomes soluble during the wt*ter. All these and ther elements of plant food go into the ground with the spring plowing and will be releas ed for the subsequent crops. Winter legumes are excellent where they can be grown with success, but it ls much easter to get a stand of rye on all kinds of soils and under vari ous climatic conditions. Rye ia in fact the most dependable crop for poor soils, and lt is the poor soil, of course, which needs a winter-crop most. Mistakes are sometimes made in a failure to plow under rye at tho right time. If the spring ls dry lt should bo turnod under early, no matter what its stage of growth is. The danger, ot course, ls that rye will pump out too much soil moisture, rendering the soil bard and lumpy when plowed and giving the following crop a poor show. It the spring lu,wot or normal, of course, the rye should be allowed to grow aa long as possible, since it will be adding benefits to the soil. Rye being such a good soil helper ought to bs given a better show than ls usually accorded lt. The seed bed should fe? well prepared and fertilisers should be applied, to both of walch lt makes ready response.
