~PAROCHIAL AMERICA

There is frequent complaint among
readers Of newspapers that all IN
ternational Jews comes throu.5 81
London. The London date line, they
point out, is found over column
dealing with Japanese troubles, with
India, and with ->ussia. 1t is onlni.
present. The London news bureau
allots us what international news we
get.
The answer is simple. London is n
better communication with the rest
of the world than any city anywhere,
Ever since the cable was invent; Il
London has been perfecting her lines
Of communication. London has
wanted to know everything abort
every nation.
Americans, on the contrary, have
not. Americans have been content
to make a merit Of insularity. Japan's
problems are not our problems. We
have no entangling alliances. Corea
and Lima, Peru, cannot affect our
destinies. What is the use of know
ing anything about them? That has
been and still is to a large extent our
attitude.
We cannot with reason complain
that Il news is Londonized. We
cannot expect them to provide the
news we want.
Some OF our merchants are begii-
ming to plan trade invasion of foreign
fields. The chief obstacle, if they
but realized it. is this same London
date line. 1t is E~ngland's emblem of
commercial superiority. Chicago

the root system so near the surface or the ground exposes the plant to the dlrest effects of drouth, and it also renders 1t we'll night impossible. Tn future culivations, to run the inn plement shallow enough to avoid the breaking of the roots. The writer has most distinct recollecton of hav- Ing ruined fine field of cotton once simply because the feeding-root sys- tenn, by reason of shallow cultivation rom flrst to last, had formed so near the surface hat we could not culti vate without breaking great masses of these tiny roots.
 These feeding roots of the plants must be forced down into the deeper soil, where they will be out of the way of cultivation and out of the way of drouthy weather The best way to do this is to give one or two reason ably deep cultivations before the plants are two feet tall by running S'iNNNA VI oNSCP OIl edCn Sl0o of the row and leaving these furrows open for at least eight or 10 days. This will force the roots, in their lateral growth, to pass them four or five inches beneath the surface. We have used his method for number of years on both corn and cotton with uniform success.
 Combining the Two Methods.
 Thus our problem is not to decide which kind of cultivation, deep or shallow, we shall give, but to man age to make judicious use of both each under the right conditions and at the proper time. If we had to use one of the methods only the entire season through shallow cultivation, as has been shown by repeated tests, would give us the. best results; but the best system is Judicious combi- nation of the two, in which reasona- bly, deep cultivation is used early to loosen compact soil, to kill the grass, and to force the plant roots into the deeper soil; and shallow cultivation Is used later on so as to avoid cut ing the roots and to keep the soil mulched and moist.

DEEP OR SHALLOW CULTIVA-

By L. A. Markham, Extension Agent Prescott & Northwestern Ky.


 Shall we cultivate deep or shallow? ? That is like asking whether we shall pant late or early, seed lightly or heavily, fertilize much or little-It should depend upon the conditions, ana a very large majority of us will ma It necessary, at different times ana under different conditions, to do them both.

u, MANY DRUG ADDICTS ARE ho" THERE.

.ho massage of the Harrison ,,.0tic ' Law, numerous statements onpeared in newspapers and hsdical nasG journals regarding the num- :, aS' aSr of drug addicts in the United Nl .os Most of these statements are ''a'' ruesses. no accurate data exist m. on which to base any careful estl- ns n,s+ss Certainly the maximum figu- ns piven by some writers are greatly ''' ssaorated in a recent issue of the ssasr ss;stn;6c American, Lucius P. Brown ssod s and drug commissioner of the .tsb .tste of Tennessee, furnishes data on sA;oh to base a more or less accurate ...;roate From figures derived from S. oneration of the food and drug ,.ws of Tennessee, Commissioner Brown estimates that there are ap- nroyimately 5000 drug addicts in that state As Tennessee comprises about ,,.s per cent of the entire population If the country, this would indicate that there are about 225,000 drug ad- dcts in the United Stes. "But," says Mr. Brown, Tennessee being an agri- cultural state and therefore decidedly more free from such addicts than those states where the pressure of modern life is harder, We should add lO per cent at least to this number on the assumption that the drug addicts throughout country will average 10 per cent higher than in Tennessee, giv- ing in round numbers PAT, 10000 drug victims for the entire country On these figures he concludes that 250, ,000 is maximum estimate, and that the addcts annually use about $6,500,00 worth of drugs unnecessarily. These figures, as Mr. Brown says, are bad enough, but they are very different from the two and one-half million drug addcts which have been claimed by some sensational writers. This estimate quoted by The Journal of the American Medical Association is in- taesting, though, being based on fig mes from a single state, it must be regarded as only an approximation.
