OPIUM GROWERS
 NOW FARMERS
Potatoes Take Place of Drug Plant Government Destroys the
 Poppy Fields.

ANDY, China---With the develop
 ment of civilization along the West ern lines, the isolated province of
 Fukien is rapidly undergoing import ant changes. It may soon be lmag- ined that chunk has been taken
 out of New England or some other farming region of the United States
 and laid down in China, for there are increasing evidences that fields
 once wholly devoted to the poppy will be turned over to potatoes and l corn.
 Progress has put it's foot down on
 the opium business. Outside of China
 there are probably few persons who
 realize how great blow this action has dealt at a means of sustenance
 to g province whose resources al
 ready were overtaXed to maintain it's
 crowded population. Opium always
 has bought a good price in local mar
 kets and formed an important source of the farmers revenue. It is small wonder that campaigns against the drug have met with armed resistance.
 Sporadic and reckless destruction of fullgrown crops came last year
 with such suddenness that farmers
 were not conscious that the govern ment was in earnest until they saw their entire seasons work lost. This year new method is to be tried. In stead of waiting until the plants are grown and then destroying the crop. the government has served nOticethat all opium plants will be destroyed as
 soon as they appear in the field. In
 many instances the summary destruc-
 tion of the crop last year caused riot
 and bloodshed, but the notices this
 year seem to be convincing farmers
 that the government means business,
 and the destruction of the young
 plants already under way has not
 caused the strife which resulted last year The new policy is meeting with the approval of the farmers. and once
 they see that they must give up the poppy, they are turning to indigo. pc tatoes and corn.
 Another change a little less tangi- ble. but none the less marked, is the new spirit of freedom. During the
 revolution, Fukienese men and money
 were not lacking to do the provinces part in the overthrow of the hated 1 Manchu government. But. that ac- complished, trusting that clean gov = ernment would be organized by the patriots" who were clamoring for
 control. the people of ,Fukien settled
 down to business, and the general de sire has been for peace and quiet. The Tact that Fukieh is practically isolated from it's neighboring prov
 inces. shut in by high mountain
 ranges. and dependent upon coolies and pack animals for transport to the interior, has driven the rukiense to tue sea, .tne island of Formosa ly ing directly opposite the province was colonized by. Fulenese seatarers long ago. the success of which en- terprise has encouraged the msrch-- ants tp extend their gone of operations until the southern ooast of Asia as far as the Malay peninsula. and most of the southern islands. are now dotted with Fukienese colonies.

SEVERAL ORDERS BOOKED
Exhibitors Allow Enthusiasts to
Board Craft and Look
Over Their Details.

Tho attendance at the Motor Boat Show

pleased the exhibitors particularly. for "A
noticeable fact was that many OF the
visitors were not looking boats over just
out OF curiosity. but were hunting for
boats and for engines for use during
the coming season. Several orders were
booked by different builders. James Simp-
son was especially pleased because two
boats OF the Cinderella model were pur-
chased by o. VI. Edwards OF Syracuse.
for the use OF his two sons. The sales
were made through the Gasoline Engine
and Equipment Company. where one of the
Cinderelas Is on exhibition. These
two boats will be twenty-threc and TWEEN
ty-sx feet long respectively. and each

Several OF the small runabouts and
open launches also were sold or ordered

SPARRING PARTNER MAY
SAIL OVER WITH OUIMET
Club Plans Sending Along Man
Familiar With English
Links as Coach.

II Francis Ouimet Is unsuccessful in
his quest for the British amateur golf
championship next May the golfers OF
Boston will he In no way to blame When
the national open champion decided TO 40
abroad a fund was subscribed to d.fray
his expenses, hut. not content with that.
Ouiinets friends ar, planning to do even
more for him.
The latest scheme which 70 said to be
under consideration hy the Woodland
Golf club, of which the champion Ia a
member and which raised 'he fund for his
expenses, IL that another fund be raised
to send with Oulmet n player who knows
the English courses. Those who are
backing the plan point out the facts that
Ouimet L. young golfer only 20 years
old and that the responsibility to be
placed upon his shoulders IL a heavy load.
They argue that II he Is acCOmpa MED
by an amateur golfer who has visited the
british courses before and knows the
ropes he will get much more good from
his preliminary practice than IL he at
tcmptS TO travel alone. The members OF
the Woodland club have been impressed
10y these arguments and have taken up
the matter.
In case a companion Is sent with Oui-
met il will he interesting to see what
golfer will be selected for tho pleasing
task of escorting the young champion.
Unless the Woodland club intends 20
choose the man from its own ranks John
q. Anderson would seem the logical man
for tho place. Anderson, who was
runnerup to jerome Travers at Garden
city last September, has made a num-
Der of trips to the other side and IL well
acquainted with conditions both In Great
Britain and France. He was the runner
up In the French amateur championship

title tTia lnficS "a "a N a 81 I'm hp Eaa.
