GOOD DEMAND LIKELY FOR
SOUTHERN TRUCK CROPS.

The outlook for Southern truck
prop production in the spring Of
1920 is even more promising than
that Of 1919. This statement is
made bv the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture in its Of
fetal fall farming suggestions.
0ne of the important elements in
poducing this favorable situation
~ Southern truckers is the fact
kJAat the potato crop bids fair to
Ve go, 1865, 900 bushels short of the
1913 crOp. SouthernpotatO grow
ers, the department advises. would
do well to secure their supply OF
seed for winter aud spring plant
ing while the Northern harvest is
in PROGRESS, in order that tubers
may be secured from disease-free
crops.
Bermuda onion growers have a
brighter outlook than has existed
during the nast two seasons. The
estimated autumn harvest of on
ions is more than 1000, 900 bush
els short of that of last year and
more than 100000 bushels short
Of that Of two years ago. With
normal distribution and consump-
ton, the competition Of Northern.
stored onions with the Southern
Bermuda crop in the spring Of
1920 is likely to be less severe
than during the season of 1919 or
that of 1918 In Manning the
acreage for the 1920 harvest, how
ever. Southern growers should
hear in mind the fact that severe
financial loss resulted at the har-
1vest Of 1918 from the excess acre
Ace planted in the fall Of 1917.
The cabbage crop in the nine.
Northern States in which late
summer cabbage is extensively
grown bids fair to he the smallest
harvested since 1916-almost 200 :
600 tons less than in 1918 and
nearly 100000 tons less than III
1917. The short crops Of both
cabbage and potatoes this season
more nearly approach the condi-
tions Of 1916, when both these
vegetables were scarcer and high
er than in anv other year during
the past decade.

BETTER DRAINAGE.
The Meridional of Abbeville

The Meridional of Abbeville
says:
"What this country needs
worse than anything else is an
earthquake or some mighty con-
vulsion of nature that would ele-
vate the surface Of the entire par
ish about so feet above sea level.
However, that being scarcely
within the range of possibilities.
we should try the next best aid
and that is more drainage. Every
mile there should be 40 or 30
foot canal running North and
South straight to the Gulf or In
tercoastal canal. These canals
would act as reservoirs and facil-
itate the drainage of the high
lands and get rid Of it several
days sooner from the fact that the
route would be shorter.

Wet spots i'm the west end. which

cerning the cases on Division and
other streets, relapsed into their
usual air OF indifference toward the
liquor laws and Chief Kline's atti-

in court Saturday were raided Sat
urday night or Sunday morning
and the sale OF liquor will proba bly,

has during the greater part OF Chief
Kline's administration.
John Shanafelt. 1928 Marietta ST.
a petty larceny suspect, was the one
who mentioned names and address
es in court Saturday. John was ques-
toned about where he got the liquor
while intoxicated, and told the judge
that liquor was about as e9sily pur-
chased in the west end as is sugar

Olive and Division SITS, on both cor

Another city court prisoner told
the court that there were so many
places in South Bend where whisky
can be bought that he hadn't the
time to enumerate them. Chief Kline
or others of the ranking heads %
could have found out from this pris-
oner enough addresses TO keep the
