London.-^ Drunk enness Increased by over 05 per cent in Knuland dining Inst year, according to official licens ing statistics. Tlie reaction after the war period of sobriety was shown by 95,703 convictions, compared with f?7, 0-18 In 15)19. There wetv only 20.073 com Actions In 101N. The convictions of women were' .'1(5 per cent more than In 11)10, and more than double the total of 1018, i The Dally Express, while admitting the figures are startling, al tributes the Increase In convictions to the ttpntlnu auce of early closing regulations en forced during the war and suggests that "people who are denied reason able facilities for obtaining liquor have taken, in their resentment, more than was good for them when they could get It." The paper also holds that the closing of properly conducted sa ltans has led to the opening of many bogus clubs and Illicit drinking dens. Official health returns for 1020 Just Issued indicate, an the other hand, that the nation as a whole Is distinct ly healthier. Tuberculosis figures are the lowest recorded since compulsory notification coma Into force. The num ber of deaths from eouffhmpHan was 88,460. ?? , . The Infant, mortality rate. 80 per 1,000.

PRICELESS WEIGHTS FOUND Only Complete Set of Colonial Stand ard to Discovered at Alex andria, Va. Washington.-? What is regarded as an important historic find has Just been made In the discovery of the original set of standard weights and 1 measures of Fairfax county in the Town hall at Alexandria, Va. The set is complete and consists of a yard stick, weights from 1 to 100 pounds and measures of all capacities, both dry and wet. All are of solid brass and are Inscribed "Fairfax i County. 174 4." The Implements have been lb the Town hall for a long time, but it was only recently that they were cleaned and the Inscriptions discovered. An expert from the Department of Agriculture who examined the set states that they are the only complete set of colonial weights in the United States and as such are priceless. At the time they were made Alexandria was the county seat of Fairfax county. When Alexandria was ceded to the District of Columbia Fairfax Court house was made the county seat. HORSE'S TAIL PRIVILEGED Can Switch It When, Where and How He Pleases, Is Decision of New York Court. New York.? A horse's tail 1j> privi leged. That was decided In t li?? Tombs court by Magistrate Corrlgan. It cost Mike Ilnccarelli $10 to learn that about his equine employee. BaccareMI, a driver, was haled Into court by an agent of the Human** so ciety, who accused him of beatlnx his horse. ' The beating was caused, he told the court, because the horse with one magnificent swish of the tall had knocked a perfecto out of BaCcaroill's hand. "A tail belongs to a horse," decided the magistrate. "IJe can switch it when, where and as much a* he pleases. That's what it's for. Ten dollar** nr five days In Jail." Attacked by Mad Bull.

Chilean Fruit in America. An experimental shipment of grapes was Kent to New York with a view of ascertaining whether a mnrket conld be found in the United States' for the product of the Chilean vineyards. The grapes were shipped in cold storage and are reported to have arrived in excellent condition and to have been sold at highly satisfactory prices. It Is reported that another shipment Is planned a." soon as arrangements can \*e made. The experiment is of par ticular Interest, since it is possible thai the exportation of fresh fruit from Chile to the United .Stales might be come -very profitable, providing that shipping facilities were available. Chile produces fine fruit of almost even variety known to th*? temperate zone and it ripens during the \\ inter months in the United States when tl>e market would be at its best.

Winter Cover Crop*.? :It i? also im portant to plant winter cover crops on all land not otherwiae occupied, as these' hot only help to preserve the fertility of the land and prevent wash ing and leaching, but are also valu able because the boll weevil can not live through the winter in a green cover crop, since he is unable to eva porate sufficient moisture from bin body to ??nable him to stand Jhe win ter. Di^iinage and Terracing.? It Is im possible to raise cotton satisfactorily on laud that is poorly drained, and it is Impossible to build np the fertility of land that is nuv~ properly terraced. Therefore, Rood drainage and proper terracing are primarily essential t:> successful crop producton. under bell weevil conditions. Lime Where Needed. ?

Commercial fertilizers sh Quid be used Judiciously, and all tlie barnyard manure possible should be applied to our farming land len der boll weevil conditions it lins been found til at the earliest crop (which under boll weevil conditions is the best crop) is secured from prop erly balanced fertilizer. It is impor tant to have enough of ??ach oleincnt in the soil to supply the needs of thn crop, and yet it is not wise to lm * e too much of any one element, for ib.it will delay the maturity of the crop, especially is this true of *>itrog?>n and potash. tyjany experiments have shown that a little nitrogen gives a bite crop It has also been found that too little potash is likely to result in | age from rust and too much potash is likely to delay the maturity of ? 10 crop.
