Rum Running Ships
Bring Much Liquor
More than 150 ships are now engaged
in smuggling liquor into the
United States from the high seas.
And for every liquor runner captured
by the 75 or so coast guard vessels
engaged in patrolling the shores of
tne nation, liquor worth as much as
three million dollars gets by. This is
the information gleaned from the records
in coast guard offices at New
London. Conn., where a record is kept
of every known and suspected liquor
(runner.
The average cargo of liquor vessels
is between 200 and 400 cases, although
occasionally a much larger
cargo is found. Some runners, however,
operate on a small scale and
40 or 50 cases may be their maximum
load. The boats get to the
shores of the United States under
cover of darkness or in foggy weather.
Many fishing craft which make
regular runs are used to aid them
in transporting contraband to shore.
The coast guard, although it has
75 vessels, is outnumbered two to one
by the rum runners, but the disadvantage
is even greated, for not mqre
than half of the patrol boats can
be operated at one time. Repairs,
loading of fresh supplies and resting
periods for the crews tie up many
of the craft, while the smuggler keeps
on running.
In most instances coast guard officers
find that the men really responsible
for Turn running are never
at sea. They live comfortably on
-hore. perhaps in some large city,
and one man may direct the operations
of a number of boats. The men
who take .all the chances and who do
the actual smuggling work on a commission
basis usually. The backer or
owner of the boat takes from 50 to
<50 per cent erf the profits for himself
and the rest is divided among
the crews. Most liquor now being
smuggled into the country, officials :
say, comes from the French island of
St. Pieej:e Miquelon, in the Atlantic
south of Newfoundland.
Many New Millionaires ~ |
Washington, Feb. 3.?The year
1929 saw 206 additions to ?.he select
group of thosa whose individual incomes
exceed one million dollars.
In all, there were 496 in this exclusive
class and of these, 24 had
incomes running past the five mil- '
lion dollar mark. Altogether, the j
496 had a total income of $1,073,- i
706.325 of which, the government I
collected $178,525,926 in income '

Five Acres Corn
Net $129.00
Orangeburg, Fob. 10.?W. I). Connor,
of Orangeburg county made an
average of 34 bushels of corn per
acre at a cost of $8.20 per acre for
labor of man and mule and for fertilizer
and harvesting, says R. VV.
Hamilton, extension agronomist. The
particular five-acre field in which
this was done is in a two-year soilbuilding
rotation demonstration in
cooperation with county farm agent
Kolb.
"A winter legume cover crop was
turned under alidad of the corn. No
fertilizer was used at planting, but
two side applications of sulphate of
ammonia, 75 pounds each, were made
May 30 and June 14," explains Mr.
Hamilton. "A small check plot that
received neither cover crop nor fertilizer
made only 9.1 bushels per
acre. The nitrogen from the cover
crop and fertilizer accounted for the
24.9 bushel increase^er acre on the
main field. Mr. Connor's income above
expenses was $129.00 on the
five acres."
Jamea S. Brown Dead

the woman "walked into the photographer's
studio. ,
"Good morning, madam; what can

"These photos of my husband," began
the woman, banging a packet
down on the table. "They're simply
disgraceful. Why, he looks just like
an ape!"
The cameraman's pride was wounded.
"Indeed," he replied icily, "but you
should have thought of that before
you married him."

MUST UK I-KSS COTTON
If farnwH Are lu Make Profits On
, Southern Farms
< incinnati, Jan. 18.?Cotton king of
the South'* crops for * decades, is
faced with abdication from its throne
in favor of some other crop, according
to Or. Karl C. Case, associate
professor of geography in the College
of Liberal Arts, University of Cincinnati.
This in face of the widespread
growth of cotton in the South, seems
to be a radical thought, but Or. Caso
bases his opinion on a study of international
trade which he says influences
cotton culture und manufacture.
"If this trade were- suddenly interrupted,"
he says, "it would bring disaster
to every important cottongrowing
jand cotton-manufacturing
country in the world and would menace
the clothing supply of all peoples.
"(iotton is, from the point of view
of international trade, the most important
among the products of the
farm. Cotton textiles hold the same
rank among the products of the factory.
In 1020, cotton and cotton goods
accounted for about one sixth of the
value of all international trade.
"For more than 100 years, the
American cotton belt, with but a
small percentage of the worold's potential
cotton land, has produced from
50 to 65 per cent of the cotton used
in clothing the nations of, the earth.
"This proud position is being lost,
and the records 25 years hence may
show a very different story. A study
of the several factors involved leads
to the belief that future development
will not be as steady or rapid in the
United States as in other parts of
the world.
"It is a well-known law in economics
that in order to avoid excessive
loss there should be a spreading of
risk involved. The American cotton
belt is a compact area- subject in its
entirety to adverse conditions. The
Mexican boll weevil, high-priced la1
bur, or even unfavorable weather may
' strike with suddenness the entire reI
k'iop.
"The non-American cotton-growing
areas, on the other hand, are widely
scattered and the adverse conditions
in some areas are offset by a favorable
condition in?others."
"The non-American cotton-growing
.areas, on the other hand, are widely
scattered and the adverse conditions
iti some araes are offset by favorable
conditions in others.
,-"As a result, the American crop
during the last years varied from 8,000,000
to 16,000,000 bales a year,
whereas the non-American crop has
held rather steady and during the last
six years has experienced a gradual
increase ^
"In fact, the non-American production
of more than 10,000,000 hales
during each of the last four years
was greater than that for the Unite 1
States during any one of the three
preceding years. It is only by good
fortune that we ha^ continually
grown more than one-half of the
world crop, a record which is likely to
be lost with the first unfavorable cotton
season in America:
"The uncertainty of the future cotton
production in the cotton belt, together
with the increasing demand of
American mills, has become a matter
of international concern. The full
significance of the problem can be
understood only when one notes the
worldwide interest shown in the development
of the cotton-textile industry.
"As a result, experimentation in
cotton growing is being carried on in
more than a dozen countries and in
some cases with surprisingly successful
results."
Textile interests in Japan, Great
Britain and Italy, are strong in promoting
cotton culture, with Japan
showing greatest interest, her meteoric
development in textile manufacture
giving her third place in cotton
consumption, according to Dr. Case.
In an effort to provide cotton for
Japanese mills ;ind give an outlet for
Japanese colonists, Nipponese spinning
companies have sept experts to
' Brazil to investigate possibilities of
\ establishing largest cotton plantation1
there, he reports.

Mr. (\ F. Redlieh, the successful expert

The "Perfect Retention v Shields"
hold the rupture perfectly, no muttef
what position the body assumes or
how heavy a weight you lift. The> !
give instant relief, cantrnct the opening
in a remarkably short time and
strengthen the weak tissues (the real
cause of rupture) so that they frequently
recover their previous natural
retaining power, needing no furtheroutside
support. Stomach trouble,
backache and constipation1* often
caused by Rupture promptly disappear.
Truly remarkable and prompt results
have been obtained not -oplv
with recent and not fully developed
ruptures but also with old, long neglected
ones.
Ingenious, recently perfected devices
are now holding ruptures firmly
which heretofore never had jjeen retained.
No elastic belts nor filthy lcgstrap*
are used.
I guarantee the durability of my
absolutely sweat and moisture proof,

Help! Help!
The autumn sales were on and the
normally busy street was swarming
thicker than ever before with the
crowds of eager bargain hunters.
Outside one of the largest stores stood
a policeman, genially directing all inquirers
and supervising the human
mass.
Suddenly he bent his head to the
-timid?question of a dear old lady.
"Constable," said she, "do you mind
going into that shop and getting me
one of their catalogues?"
"Sorry, madam," he returned, "but
I am on duty. Can you not get one
for yourself?"
"No; I don't think they'll let me
have one. You see, it says in their
advertisement, 'Send p. c. for catalogue.'
and so, as you have a kind
face, I just thought I'd ask you."?

Method
of Fertilizing Cotton
**
OUT of all the experimental work and farm
testa with cotton fertilizera during the past
50 years, there has developed this one method,
safe and sure for cotton from North Carolina to
Texas. It meets every need of the crop for plant
food ; reduces every risk; is economical; and guarantees
you maximum return on your fertilizer
investment. And it's so simple?
At Planting Time (/'or one acre)
50 to 100 lbs. Chilean Nitrate of Soda.
25 to 75 lbs, muriate of potash.
300 to 400 lbs. superphosphate.
This gives you enough phosphate and potash;
the Chilean Nitrate gives the crop the best possible
start and encourages maximum growth
during early spring.
30 to 40 Days After Planting (for one acre)
150 to 200 lbs. Chilean Nitrate of Soda sidedressMg.
This gives the crop greater vigor and resistance
to pests and disease; makes bigger bolls and
carries more of them through to earlier maturity;
increases yields and improves quality.
v * That's all there is to it! The important part of
the recipe is the nitrogen. Chilean Nitrate can
make a good fertilizer out of a poor one; will
make a good fertilizer better. A little Chilean
Nitrate at planting time and plenty of it later as
side-dressing just about takes the gamble out of
cotton farming.
If you cannot find out whether your plantingtime
fertilizer contains Chilean Nitrate; the way
to make sure is to buy fertilizer low in nitrogen
and mix Chilean Nitrate with it at the rate of 200
to 400 lbs. per ton. In this way you are certain of
enough of the best nitrogen under your crop.
