JAPAN'S COMMERCE
 AT GULF PORTS
Rx HOLLAND


 New York, June 16.-( Special )-Possibly Charles M Schwab had in mind, among other things when he said recently that the approaching great development of the United States is to be upon the east or Atlantic coast. presumably including the Gulf of Mexico, the certainty that the Atlantic seaport south of Baltimore including Mobile, New Orleans and Gal weston on the gulf are likely speedily to be the center of very great commodity exploits, especially to Central America the West Indies, and south America He may have known that the Japanese are about to establish a steamship line having it's American terminal at New Orleans. These steamers will be chiefly occupied in shipping steel from the Pitts burg and the Birmingham districts tc Japan by way of the Panama canal. Japan was especially fortunate durine the four years of the war in her inter national trade. That brought to Japan money in such amount as the merchants and manufacturers of that empire never before conceived. It used to be said ill this financial district that next to the United States Japan flourished as no other nation did during four years of the war. Her manufacturers and industrial leaders sent munitions and other wal commodities in enormous amounts and received speedy payment for them, gain ing large profits.
 But, unlike the United States. the ex- port trade of Japan fell off, in fact ir very great measure, after the armistice was signed, whereas our own export trade increased. Nevertheless, the Japa nese are preparing for great industrial activity and in order to aid that will buy steel in very large amounts in the United States and ship it direct by water from New Orleans to the destined Japa- nese ports.
 As result of the changed conditions occasioned by the war. the southern sea ports are to become very busy marts There will center both outgoing and much of the incoming commerce from South America and Central America Alp parently Mr Hurley and others who are in authority over the government shir building, realize to the full what the opportunities for increased commerce are. especially with the nations to the south of us. Already there is substan- tial increase in our merchant marine. and if Congress needs recommendations which have been made to it, then we shall have merchant marine within two years second only to that of Great Britain, and not a very distant second.

TRADE WITH SOUTH AMERICA

Within a short time, at least seven and possibly ten vessels, capable of develop Ing fairly good speed will be in service between some of the southern ports and the principal seaports of South America This is a momentous advance from the conditions which prevailed a few years ago Several attempts were made to es tablish steamship lines operating betweef New York and South American ports None of them were very successful. ex. cepting the line estab blished by William R. Grace when he was mayor of New York, which carried on commerce be- tween the ports of the west coast of South America and the United States by way of Cape Horn. Mayor Grace, how, ever, was compelled to sail his steamers under the English flag because the navi- gation laws of the United States made il impossible for him to operate the lines successfully under our own flag. Withir year or two we are certain to see very great commerce center1ns in ports of the southern states. some of which have il the past been almost neglected. One req. son for the development of commerce O this kind is the fact that commoditie of many kinds can be transported mor cheaply from the interior to souther ports than to such seaports as New Yorl or Boston, and certainly such seaport as Seattle and San Francisco

FACTS ABOUT FLU"

Dr. Thomas F. Riley, writing in
The Medical Record Of the famous in
fIuenza plague which is by no means
a thing Of the past says: IN general
the mortality was: below five years
of age, about Is pre- cent; from five
to fifteen years about per cent;
from twenty to thirty-six years, about
30 per cent. In children under one it
was approximately so per cent, and
yet there were comparatively few
deaths because pneumonia was not so
common in children as it was in the
adults. 1t was not so common nor so
fatal in the aged as it has been in the
past Women had almost double the
mortality Of men. If the disease was
contracted from a patient already suf-
fering from influenza the outlook was
worse than otherwise, If the first pa
tient died of the pneumonia the sec
ond was likely also to die"

FAILS AT EVERYTHING

A writer in the Jackson Miss
News, commenting on the number Of
failures which occur in business and
social life has this to say regarding
the natter: "a western newspaper
says that man embarked in the pig
eCn-Taising business several wears
ago. The next year he let the pigeons
go and tried rabbits. The next few
seasons his activities included hogs.
chickens and garden truck, This year
he has decided to let his garden grow
up IN weeds, and is buying a couple OF
hives Of bees and will produce honey
for the market. 1t is certain. of course.
that he will fail at produc ny honey.
1t seems that when a man fails at one
thing he fails at everything. There
IS something that makes for success
that enables a successful man to sue
ceed at anything. AS rule, where a
man succeeds at one thing, he would
have succeeded at anything he turned
his hand to. The successful saloon
keeper would have been lust as sue
cessful dry goods merchant; in all
probability the fellow who raises big
hogs successfully would not fail if he
were raising pigeons or pet rabbits.
All men are not best suited for Ger.
tam calling in life; that is not the
contention. There are men who are ne
cullarly fitted for certain occupa-
ton who are not so well suited for
something else. But the point is that

Hog Cholera and Black Leg i

Without doubt the creates t'3W-
back to the live stock industry lnsSyoN-
ubee County in the continued preVa-
lence of contagious diseases, especial
" hog cholera, swine plague ana
black leg. These diseases are incur
able when once contracted, therefore
ii is incumbent upon every one to use
everv precaution possible for preven-
ton. not only from the standpoint OF
the individual, but from the duty that
YOU owe your neighbor as well, Pre-
vention is the only safe course, 1t IS
profitable for the individual and 1t
is patriotic to help prevent the spread
of diseases in the community. One OF
the most patent carriers Of disease IS
the buzzard, VIII lie we may not be able
to contro. 0he lfuzzard we can at least
prevent them from having access to
the carcasSes of the animals that have
died of disease, and thus in a great
measure control the spread of these
contagious diseases.
Too often we see by the side of the
read or in the pasture the carcasses
Of cattle and hogs that have died of
disease, accessible to stray dogs and
cats and buzzards that may carry the
disease to unsuspecting farmers even
miles away. The buzzard will fill up
OH the flesh of hog that has died
of cholera and then fly away to pool
in another mans pasture, drink and
battle and leave the germs to further
snread the disease The stray dog will
eat of the carcass, pass on through
pastures leaving the germs on the
grass to be taken in by other hogs.
The law requires that the carcas-
ses of all animals that die Of disease
be buried or burned, our duty to our
neighbors demands it. If every car
cass was so disposed Of the losses
from disease would be lessened by at
least so per cent.
/. Prevent disease by burning or
burying all animals that die.
2. Prevent disease by keeping the
stock free from worms and lice.
8. Keep charcoal or wood ashes,
Stacked lime, soft coal and salt in the
hog lot.
4: Keep your stock away from run
ming streams Of water
5. Clean up the hog pens and keep
them clean; filth breeds germs.
6. No germss-no cholera.
Owing to the Very rapid increase of
purebred hogs in Noxubee County
their sale for breeding purposes has
become very restricted. and in order
to relieve this condition, it is neces-
sary to organize a Swine Growers AS
sociation to be composed of parties
who raise purebred hogs With such
an organization the secretary would
know just what animals were for sale
and would have access to a broader
market The organization could be-
come known with far less expense
than could an individual, and could
take care of all hogs for sale at quite
saving to the members.
Also, such an organization would
be of benefit in standardizing the
breeding lines so as to give a greater
uniformity of the stock that was
grown. j. Mel. RIDGELL,
County Agent.
