n fairly accurate estimate OF the effect OF the>war
merchant shipping regards both individual
countries and the worlds tonnage
From this issue gain the information that
since 1914 the tonnage OF has increased
nearly two and half million TONS while the sail
tonnage has decreased by about 100000 tons gross
In June. 1914 the gross tonnage of the United
Kingdom 1s,S92.000, and in June, 1919.
600. The seagoing tons gross of the United States
In June. 1914, was 2,027,0O0 and of that of the
Great Lakes 2.260.o00; in June. 1919. 1t was sea-
going s.7T3.O00, and on the Great Lakes. 2.160o0o
II will be that the seagoing tonnage of the
United States has increased by about seven and
three-quarter million tons, equal to than ss2
per cent. compared with the 1914 totals. Japan
has added 617.000 tons to her merchant tonnage
equal TO over sc cent, and the British Dominons
have added $4,000 tons over Ia
On the other hand, the countries where the
greatest decrease has taken place are-the United
Kingdom. showing loss of more than two and
half million tons: Greece. $4,000 tons: Norway
$4,000 tons; Italy 10000 Spain. 175,000 TONS
and Denmark. $4,000
One OF the most striking results OF the COM
parison OF the 1919 and the 1914 figures the
tive position OF the United Kingdom and the United
States. In 1914 416 per of the worlds tonnage
was owned in the United Kingdom, and i.4S per
cent was composed OF seagong tonnage of the Uni
ted states The present figures are: United King
dom Sal per cent United States, 24.9 per cent
including 2O.4 per cent of the seagolng tonnage.
France. Notwithstanding her large losses dur
ing the war. has actually added 40 900

The net result of the worlds mer-

3. r. GoAD, OF BUREAU OF EN-

remedy for the destructive cotton boil
weevil pest, which has caused billions
on billions of dollars damage. now
seems TO have been discovered after
several discouraging years of fighting
the pest. during which almost every
kind of poison had been experimental

Calcium arsenic poison is the drug
that is being used with such success
in DISCRIMINATING the boil weevil The
poison was developed at Talulah, La,
by II. r.. Goad, a scientist I'm the bureau
of entomology of the department OF
agriculture after eight or ten years OF
experimenting.
The boil weevil was so destructive
that IL entirely destroyed the cotton
crop in some counties in the cotton
belt and made IL impossible 70 again

of cotton were destroyed and pro-
daction so reduced that the supply
is now far below the demand and cots

CONSIDER THE SWEET POTATO.

Recent activities in Escambia county and GER
tain other counties of West Florida along line
of better growing and marketing OF the sweet po-
tato have attracted considerable attention.
Sweet Potatoes naturally adapted to the
long leaf pine belt and the southern yam now
becoming known in the north a tempting deli
cacy, well substantial article of food.
The reason farmers have not grown the sweet
potato more successfully for outside their own
homes is because II is hard to keep. Immediate
sales have been made on the gathering of the crop
from the fields consequently the market has been
flooded, and low prices per bushel have resulted.
Those. however, who constructed storage houses
for their potatoes and who held them for a market
much higher several months after gathering, have
realized handsome profits.
Raisers of this commodity should select seed
for the next years crop harvest time In digging
the potatoes selections should be made from hills
from hills that have only extra large po-
tatoes.
Small farmers have successfully covered the
potatoes In the field with sand. which is said to
take the moisture from them. and later with
sacks or quilts, and then with covering of plank
have protected the crop fairly well. In several
states cooperative storage houses have been built
at centrally located railroad station.
Sweet potato vines In this state occasionally
suffer from the potato weevil- Agriculturists

is reason why West Florida farmers shuod not
