WFDNESDAY DECEMBER 13. 1922
Opponents of prohibition seem not
to realize that it has come to stay.
The "light w:r.es and beer" advocates
are no doubt sincere in their attitude,
hut their attitude is one that is not
wise. It is the same old demon, no
matter whether it be whisky or light
wines and beer. Without the alcohol
the "kick." is not present; with the
"kick" left out there is nothing to it.
With it in, the same old slavery of
appetite is the result.
It is no easy matter for the uninitiated
to understand the political conditions
that exist in Europe. There
is such a divergence of views on the
part of the participants, so much of
intrigue, such evident suspicion everywhere,
that no one seems to have
r.ny aennue conclusions 10 express.
The old diplomacy that is just a polite
way of 'ying, seems to be much
in evidence. Conferences are called.
Opposing nations, through their rcp1
esentatives, seek each his own will.
Allies seem to fare a little better in
the matter of reaching agreements.
Friends of yesterday become foes of
today. New alliancese are constantly
forming. It is a muddle, a very
great muddle, ar.d the end is not yet.

"Sweet Potatoes"
Seized by Agents
Cincinnati, Ohio, Feb. 10. ? Four
thousand quart bottles of bottled in
bond whiskey in 170 barrels labeled
"sweet potatoes" were seized in the
Big Four railroad yards here late today
by federal prohibition agents and
Cincinnati police. The aecidenta*.
dropping of one of the barrels by a
workman led to the discovery of the
liquor which, according to the bill of
lading, had been shipped by "James
Davis" at Seabrook, S. C., to the Gor-1
don Brothers Storage Company at!
Chicago.
Cotton Production Shifting 1
To Con tor of tho Boll 1
!
How Alabama Planters Hara Over* '
?\>me Boll Weevil Conditions by In-. 1
tensive Cultivation and the Rain- '
ing of Plentiful Food and
Feed Crops.
By W. C. McClure, DemopoHs, Ala. .
Texas excluded from the argument,
the production of cotton is shifting
back to the center of the belt, where
the damage from boll weevil has been
nto3t severe and where abandonment
has been greatest. Duo to the labor
situation, the labor being mostly negro
tenants, the storm was not weathered
as well as in communities of
small, industrious white farmers. In.
deed, the extensive negro tenantry! j
system of Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi
and West Alabama, was, in
many localities, all but completely dis-f
organized when the weevil came and
got going good in his work of destruction.
But conditions have chang- 1
ed in this central territory outlined.
That portion of the cotton growing 1
area east of a line running north and
south through Little Rock and west '
of Montgomery and Birmingham will
be seen within approaching years to
be gaining in cotton production, and
Georgia and the Carolinas will fall off
while the people are becoming adjusted
to the new order of things. In.
creasing production of cotton is traveling
back west while the weevil continues
his journey east and northeast.
Moreover, it is a question as to
whether Georgia and the Carolinas
i an produce cotton as cheaply as in
the central territory. I.ands are higher
in price and taxation heavier, labor
is higher and the necessity for
commercial fertilizer much greater.
In this central regiou the use of fertilizers
was meagre before tile weevil
came and its consumption decreased
under weevil infestation.
Due to disorganized labor conditions
and abandonment more cotton
land has been lying fallow for several
years than in any other portion of
the cotton belt of the South. In the
meanwhile nature has restored to the
soil, in the natural process of rest to
the land, much of the valuable elements
of humus and organic matter.
The agriculturists of authority tell
' s tnat wnere numus and organic
nn.tter is contained in the soil thei
l?ctter results may be obtained by a
judicious use of artificial plant food
and stimulants. The analogy may be
mentioned of a strong healthy man
being able to digest more food than a
weak, feeble man can assimilate.
But regardless of theory or science
v.o have many facts developing to sustain
the view that the increase in cotton
production will henceforth be
greater in those sections of the belt
where the weevil wrought the greater
decrease^Jn, yields per acre op per
man.
W. F. Bell, of Boligee, Greene county,
Ala., has this year proved what
can be and is being done when Georgia
and Carolina methods of fertilizing
and cultivation are applied in
making cotton in localities where the
extensive large plantation system has
been all the go for the most part. On
a little 'ess than 400 acres he has
made this year 225 bales of cotton.
Mis a.erage amount of fertilizer used
pi r acre was ?50 pounds of the 10-2-2
grade, supplemented with an average
of 75 pounds of nitrate of soda per
r.ere. On his path patch of 2 1-2 acres
he made 4 hales with 600 pounds of
fertilizer and 100 pounds of nitrate
pr acre. He plants the WannamakerC
eveland variety of cotton. His land
is < f a sandy nature, with clay subsoil
i'-'der most of it. His method of culture
is fast and intensive, with an
intelligent limit to the acreage per
plow. He is successfulas evidenced
fc> having bought a plantation and
paid for it growing cotton under boll
weevil conditions. He is a native of
Tuscaloosa county, where conditions
are somewhat similar to Georgia and
Carolina in hiily lands and where
thire are industrious white farmers
on -mall farms. He is the only white
man on his plantation. He uses no
boll weevil poison, but a visit to his
place would convince one that he has
"poisoned" his negro renters and
ihare croppers with a knowledge of
how to grow cotton and make money,
using fertilizer and improved methods.
Mr. Bell was induced to locate near
Boligee a few years ago by A. B.
DeMoville, now a retired supply merchant.
but a man who kept his head
and his nerve all through the era of
devastation and boll weevil demoralization.
He stood by his people and
kept them going. His motto and orders
were to "make plenty of feed
ar.d then all the- cotton you can."
Yea, verily, Mr. DeMoville is a man
r.ot only of nerve and benefaction to
his vicinity but a man of vision. In
IP 18 he cleared over $7,000 on 85
acres of land, worked by negro tenants
supervised right and supported
well. He believes in feeding the land
as well as the labor on it and claims
that it pays well to feed the land
where one has to feed the .labor. With
commercial fertilizer and nitrate of
soda he made on the 85 acres 52 bales
of cotton and plenty of com to run the
place another year. The good price
received for the cotton of course increased
the profit, but the fertilizer
and intensive methods employed told
the greater secret. DeMoville was
doing good farming before Bell moved
I j Boligee, but Mr. Bell, by carrying
his intensive methods into a section
of country where the extensive system
was mostly in vogue, is paying
back borrowed money to people who
don't need it or want it, preferring to
collect the interest only. I
But Bell and DeMoville are not i
alone in doing things at Boligee. j

Bouchelle Bros, and several other*

ratui* has been lavish in her expenditure
of bounty but a community of
people who believe there is more in
the man than in the land; and a locality
where brains and management
have shown that the hill counties of
small farms have no monopoly on
growing cotton profitably under boll
weevil conditions. And Boligee will
never go broke as long as the people
there and thereabouts believe in
^ anting food and feed crops plentifully
and then all the cotton one can
possibly make on surplus acreage to

Russia Experimenting With
New Currencies
Moscow, Dec. 11.?As the gold ruble
cannot at present be regarded as
the real measure of value in Russia,
a new ruble called the "goods ruble,'
corresponding to the value of certain
kinds of goods, is to be intro
duced as commercial currency
Wages will be fixed in "goods rubles.'
In addition to the "gosds ruble" it
is proposed to introduce into the market
other varieties of the ruble,
namely, agricultural, export, import
and budget rubles.
A well informed Russian business
man, questioned as to the Soviets
latest financial plans, said the intention
was that paper issues should ir
theory be backed by supplies o1
goods. Regarding the export and
import issues, he said fliat the papei
would be backed for face value by
all the trade entering and leaving
Russia.
rm - , , .
ine new nnanciai measure is proDably
attributable to the fact that the
supply of gold rubles is nearing extinction,
and to a desire on the part
of the Soviet officials to deal a blow
at the people who are hoarding them.1
An effort was made by the Bolsheviks
some time ago to declare the
Czar, Duma and Kerensky rubles
valueless, but it did not succeed.
Roller Bearings For
Trains Show Little Wear
Philadelphia, Dec. 11.?The Pennsylvania
Railroad Company is experimenting
with roller bearings for
passenger coaches similar to those
adopted by the State Railways of
Sweden. For about a year six
"P-70" coaches on the Pennsylvania
have been in operation with barrel
shaped roller bearings but, according
to mechanical experts of the company,
there has not been sufficient
time to draw definite conclusions
from the tests. It is said by the
company that so far the bearings
have shown very "Tattle f'
One of the things expected to be
accomplished in equipping railroad
stock with roller bearings is the lessening
of the traction effort required
to start a train which would result,
according to railroad authorities, in a
saving of fuel.
Postage Stamp Dealers
Expect Good Business
Paris, Dec. 10.?The Ferrari sale
of postage stamps, which has broughr.
hundreds of collectors to the city is
by far the largest sale ever recorded
in Paris. Many of the stamps are
bringing record prices, and the bidding
is spirited.
More interest has been shown hi
stamp collecting since the war than
ever before, according to dealers, and
with the return to normal times the
popularity among amateurs is ex
pected to make huge profits for the
traders.
HOW DOCTORS
TREAT COLDS
AND THE FLU
First Step in Treatment Is a
Brisk Purgative With Ce Jotabs,
the Purified and Refined
Calomel Tablets That
Are Nausealess, Safe and
Sure.
Doctors have found by experience
that no medicine for colds, coughs,
sore throat, and influenza can be depended
upon for full effectiveness
until the liver is made thoroughly ac
tive. That is why the first step in
the treatment is now the new, nausealesB
calomel tablets called Calotabs,
which are free from the sick
ening and weakening effects of th?
old style calomel. Doctors also point
out the fact that an active liver may
go a long way towards preventing
influenza and colds and is one of the
most important factors in enabling
the patient to successfully withstand
an attack and ward off pneumonia.
One or two Calotabs on the tongue
at bed time, with a swallow of water?that's
all. No salts, no nausea
nor the slightest interference with
your eating, pleasure or work. Next
morning your cold has vanished, your
liver is active, your system is puri <
fied and you are feeling fine, with a
hearty appetite for breakfast. Genuine
Calotabs are sold only in original
sealed packages, price thirty- j
Ave cents for the large, family package;
ten cents for the small, vestpocket
size.?(Adv.) 12 8-1?J

Japan's Trade With * An
United States Reverses in
??- ceT
Tokio, Dec. 11.?Japan's exports to
America, up to 1917, always exceeded "0I
imports therefrom, the excess in that rc
year being 118,829,000 yen. In 1918,
.he balance changed, America taking ?
goods valued at 95,896,000 yen in ex- ?
cess of exports to Japan. In 1919,
.here was a balance of 61,716,000 yen yei
in favor of Japan, but in 1920 the
balance in favor of America jumped I
to 308,165,000 yen, according to fig- 1
ures collected by Japanese financial I
In 1921' this balance dropped to
?8,117,000 yen and for the first seven
months of this year it was 19,684,000
yen. This moderation has been due ""S
o the increased export of raw silk j
to America, but the general tendency oil
shows a growth of imports from Am>rica,
the papers point out. ',ur
Compared with pre-war years, the -r?
'olume of Japan's exports have in- ^
reased by three-fold whereas imports
have increased five fold. Ja
