Brewers Prohibition Statistics

The year book of the United States
Brewers Association, for 1911, gives
a table of liquor statistics for which
we cannot vouch, but which can hard
ly be expected to err upon the tenn
perance side. In the Northwestern
Christian Advocate there is brief
summary of these statistics, which
is very interesting. The writer has
massed the states into three groups,
the first containing the nine prohibi-
ton states, where liquor, if sold, is
sold illegally. The next group in
cludes the fifteen local option states,
where a considerable part of the state
is under local option law. The third
group consists of the twenty-seven
saloon states, where all, or most, of
the state has saloons. In the nine
prohibition states, there are no less
than five where the average consump-
ton of liquor per head, for 1911, is
less than ITO of a gallon, and the
average for the whole of the nine
states is only 1855 gallons per head,
In the fifteen local option states, there
is only one state where the consump-
ton is less than Ito of a gallon per
head, and the average consumption
reaches 4.37 gallons per head, or
little over three times the average
consumption IN the prohibition states.
But when we strike the group of
twenty-seven saloon states the figures
change marvelously. The very lowest
average consumption in any of these
states is 1917 gal. per head, while the
highest is 64.5I gal, and the average
for the twenty-seven states is 25.23
gallons per head, or nearly six times
as great as in the local option group,
and over eighteen times as great as in
the prohibition group. These figures
taken from the Brewers Year Book
are surely proof enough that prohi-
bition, whether statewide, or partial,
cuts into the sale of liquor very ma
terially, and it gives us the reason
why the trade so bitterly opposes pro-
hibition in any form. = Christian
Guardian.

Commenting on the poor showing
of the British athletes in the Olympic
games at Stockholm, the London
Standard points out that the Amer
lean participants are controlled abso-
lutely by the trainer while the trouble
with the Britishers is that they spend
too much of their time in saloons and
Standard suggests that if Great Brit
ain is to do herself credit at the
Olympic games in Berlin four years
hence she must send her trainers to
America for year to learn the bust
ness and the young men who engage
in the sports must be kept away from
saloons.

OKOLONA, MISSISSIPPI THURSDAY, MAY 30 1912

Of this pest in Lafayette and Marshall
counties, Mississippi, in August, 1881.
The only other outbreak OF this insect
in this state that we have any record
Of occurred during August 1907 in
Oktibbeha. Lowndes. Monroe. Clay
and Noxubee Counties. AT that time,
the worms" did much damage to
Johnson grass and other grasses, and
also to alfalfa and other leguminous
crops. Practically the only measure
that the farmers used was to 60 into
the fields at once with the moving
machines and cut the grass and
alfalfa before the worms" could eat it
up.
Lie History and Appearance
There are, beyond doubt, at least
three and possibly as many as six
generations Of these insects each year
in Mississippi. The eggs are laid in
masses upon the food plants and are
seldom noticed. They hatch into
worms or lavas and these usually 90
unnotced except when very numerous
and, even then, until they are nearly
grown. AT that time they are about
an inch and quarter long; they vary
in color from light brown to black, but
always have stripes running len 9Th

but are usually yellow. A few hairs
are always present, and small black
spots can always be seen if the

During the past few weeks there
has been serious outbreak Of the
Southern Grass Worm or Southern
Army Worm along the Gulf Coast
Of Mississippi. Correspondents from
jackson, Harrison and George count,
les have sent these insects to US. 1t
is quite likely that the insects also
appeared in other counties In the
region where these insects appeared
in large numbers they have destroyed
almost all Of the corn and oats and
have also seriously damaged sugar
cane and other crops. This insects
should not be confused with the cot.

Food Plants

These insects seem to prefer grass
plants and small grains such as oats
and rye. Next to these, they seem to
prefer corn, especially when it is
young. However, they will attack
almost any succuIent plant In 1907
they did much damage to alfalfa in
the Northeast pararie section Of the
state. They are reported also as a
pest Of cotton and garden vegeta-
