Japanese Merchant Marine Grows

The United States commercial at
tache at Peking reports that tonnage
of ships flying the japanese flag has
been increased from 125,000 to 155,OoO
since 1914 and now constitutes 30 per
:ent of the total carrying capacity OF
tessels plying between Asiatic and
American ports. Japan has increased
her home-built merchant tonnage from
nothing to 2,158O00 since 1890.

MUCH CHOCOLATE USED HERE
Imports of Crude Cocoa During Past
Year Reach Total of PAS, 3,232,o 900,
Double Figures OF 1910.

That people of the United States
have q growing fondness for choco-
lates and cocoa is indicated by Uncle
Sans figures on the imports of crude
cocoa into the United States during
the last fiscal year. According to
statistics compiled by the department
of commerce, a total of 243, ,232,000
pounds of crude cocoa were purchased
abroad during the year, which is 5O,-
100000 pounds more than was bought
in 1915 and double the imports of
1910. The value of the imports in
1916 was $34,144,000.
This is not to be accounted for by
decreased imports of manufactured
cocoa and chocolate, because we are
buying such products in about the
usual quantities. Nor is it because we
are shipping abroad larger quantities
of prepared cocoa and chocolate. 1t is
due solely to growing taste for choco-
late and cocoa, especially the former
An unusual feature of the growing
trade is the fact that some of the
producing countries are now shipping
to the United States direct instead OF
through European middlemen. One
instance in 1916 was direct shipment
of 25,OO0,OO0 pounds from British West
Africa, imports from which country
Heretofore reached the United States
via England. There were marked in
creases in shipments from Brazil Por.

decline in those from the United King

fermentation of corn that was not al
lowed to dry properly or was poorly
stored before being placed upon the
market. This state of affairs, which
results from allowing the corn to re-
main wet during winter and necessi-
tates the removal of the water by ex-
| pensive means, keeps the price of corn
lower than it would be if the corn
were allowed to dry in the fields and
were kept dry until placed upon the
market Grain buyers would pay a
| better price if the general supply of
corn reached them in a condition that
would insure it's preservation without
drying and the resulting shrinkage
In addition to affording thorough
ventilation to the stored grain and pro-
! lection from driving rains, cribs
should be constructed in such a man
ner that they can be filled and emptied
with the least possible labor. For lev
ell ground double cribs with an ele-
waited driveway and approaches that
| will enable the loads to be driven
through the cribs and dumped or
scooped out of the wagons without any
high pitching are very satisfactory.
Protection From Insects.
In sections where insects are de
structive to stored grain, cleanliness is
of value in preventing injury from this
source. Small quantities of grain
should not be left in the cribs during
the summer, as they tend to harbor
these pests. Where insects are de-
structive to the stored grain, it is a
good practice to dispose of the entire
crop as\ Early as possible and clean
the cribs thoroughly, so that there are
left few hiding places and no food to
carry the insects through the summer
In southern localities, where the
weather is warm enough to permit
these pests to work throughout the en-
tire year, it is best to construct the
cribs so that they can be made prac-
tically air-tight and then to treat the
crop with some insecticide such as car
bon bisulphide. If this plan were thor
oughly carried out the corn weevil
could be practically exterminated.
AS a protection against rats, mice,
and sparrows, galvanized wire cribs
are coming into use. Wire netting of
about one-fourth inch mesh can also
/ be successfully used in the construc-
ton Of frame corncribs. This wire
netting can be tackled to the inside of
the uprights of the crib, and the strips
which constitute the sides of the crib
can also be nailed on the inside of the
uprights, thus holding the wire netting
in place. AS a floor, which should be
Is inches or more from the ground, SO
as not to afford a hiding place for
rats, the wire netting can be tackled
to the sIeepers and the flooring nailed
over to hold the wire in place. For
overhead protection the wire netting
is simply tackled to the joists.
If cribs are built upon solid con
crete foundations through which rats
cannot burrOw no netting will be
needed, for the floor and the struc
ture can be kept near the ground
With ample roof projection and upper
ventilation no danger from dampness
need be feared.

Shrinkaqe.

The shrinkage that will take place
in the crib of corn from the time it
is cribbed in the fall until it is sold
varies so greatly in accordance with
the amount of moisture the corn con-
tains when placed in the crib, and also
the ventilation of the crib, that it is
impossible to state percentage of
shrinkage that will apply with GER
tainty to any particular crib of stored
corn. Various tests show that during
the first year the shrinkage in cribbed
corn approximates Is per cent for the
first year and 20 per cent for two
years.

Federal law of June /. 1870, con-
corning the acquisition and loss OF

man lost his or her citizenship by
having lived outside Of Germany for
ten consecutive years.
~ new law does not repeat that
provision. but a clause provides loss
OF citizenship at the completion OF

Caused Continued Trouble.

lnternment of the Cormoran at
Guam has been the cause of contin-
nal conflict and dissagreeable in
cidents between the American naval
officers in charge OF the island and
the German crew.
On several occasions former Ger
man Ambassador Bernstorff appealed
to the State Department on behalf Of
the Cormorans officers and crew
to have the vessel transferred to San
Francisco. Each time the Navy De
partment refused.
The CormOran was chased into
Guam by japanese warships soon aft
CT the declaration OF war between
Japan and Germany. The ship had
exhausted her fuel supply raiding
commerce and was compelled to burn
her woodwork structure to make
steam under which she reached that
port.
