CANCER DEATH RATE

INCREASE IN BRITAIN WILL
BE REPEATED HERE.

An alarming increase in the can
Ger death rate is noted by DR.. Fran
els Carter Wood, director of the
Croker Special Research Fund of
Columbia University and of the
pathological department of ST..
Luke's Hospital, New York. The in
crease in England and Wales has
been enormous and DIR. Wood be-
lieves that. the same phenomenon will
be observed in this country during
the next year or two. For a great
many years cancer has been slowly
increasing in England, though physi-
clans are alta loss to account for the
increase.
In the United States in 1914 the
death rate was 1914 per 100000. In
1900 it was SO per 100000 Ver-
mont had the highest mortality.
There is reached 1929 in 1914. But
this does not compare with Switzer-
land, where it was 1867, Utah had
the lowest mortality of any state,
with 45.8. In Maine, New Hamp-
shire, Massachusetts, and New York
the mortality was high.

The distillers and wholesale whis-
ky dealers of this country face ire
mendous loss from war time prohi-
bition, which went into fleet today,
July 1, loss that has been estimated
at $120,000,000, says the New York
Times. This represents the wholesale
value of whisky now lying in bonded
warehouses in various parts of the
country, and which in the normal
course of events have been with

Brokers and wholesalers who have

of whisky in these warehouses be-

Ions, so that if war time prohibition
were removed and the country did
not go dry until January under the
constitutional amendment more than
one-half of this great store OF dis
titled spirits would be placed on the
market.
The loss in revenue to the govern
ment is even greater. If this reserve
were released it would yield in taxes
almost $4OO,OOO,OOO, and even if on
" half of it were consumed in the
six months that renamed before the

A great trouble with many farm
ers in making side applications of
fertilizers has been that these have
been made too late for best results.
In the case of oats and wheat, as an
illustration, there seems to be pretty
conclusive evidence that for most
profitable results applications should
be made not later than about 8 weeks
before harvest time, and 10 to IL
weeks would probably be consider
ably better. In making side applica-
lions for corn, in many sections it is
the common impression that the fer
tilizers should be used at about the
time the corn begins to "bunch for
tassel." We have good evidence that
this is much too late, and that on an
average better results will be had
from making the side applications
when the corn is from knee to waist
high. Knee-high as rule will prob
ably be the best time,
With cotton, as with other crops,
the general tendency has been to

make side applications entirely too
late. DR.. B. w. Kilgore, of the North
Carolina Experiment Station, says
that on lands with fairly good clay
subsoil he considers it quite safe to
put all the nitrate of soda and sui
phate of ammonia to be used on the
cotton at planting time. Of course
where there is not clay subsoil this
practice is inadvisable, because of the
danger of teaching. Another point in
this connection: Cotton, particularly
under boil weevil conditions, needs
a quick acting heterogeneous fertilizer
to start it off vigorously in the early
spring, and here is another reason
for applying part or all of the nj
trate of soda or sulphate of ammo
MIA when the crop is planted. Where
either Of these materials is to be
used as d side dressing for cotton
just as soon as possible after chop
ping we regard as the best time to
use them, and certainly would not
care to wait later than the time of
the appearance Of the first blooms.
Any later applications are too likely
to result in excessive stalk and leaf
growth without an increased produc-
ton of fruit.

saw the former emperor and for
mer empress of Germany sitting in
summer house in a garden between
the two moats in the castle in Darby
and Joan style for two hours this
morning, cables a correspondent of
the New York Times from Ameron-
gen.
The day being a holiday Wilhelm
did not go through with his daily
forenoon performance Of saving up
little Christmas trees. He wore a
dark blue suit and a yachting cap
The former empress, dressed IN
white, was reading to him, apparent
ly from a newspaper, as she does on
other days when he is exercising.
From a private roadway owned by
Count Bentinck could see the exile
royalties clearly. Only the outer
moat and lawn separated US. The
former emperor looked at me, but
did not speak. Visitors to Ameron-
gen on bicycles who had been wait
ing to see him stopped on the path
when it was known that he, was IN
the grounds, but were quickly moved
on by vigilant gendarmes.
On Saturday the former emperor
sawed his four thousandth fir tree in
to small blocks, which will be sent to
his friends after he has carved his
name on them. Capt. Won Ilsemann,
| his secretary, who takes the other
end of the double saw, does not share
| his enthusiasm. Their record was
seventy-seven trees in one day, rang
| ing from two to six inches in dame
| ter.
Members of the Bentinck family
appear to believe that the distinguish
ed guest will return to Germany IN
the near future. After seven months
the honor thrust upon the family by
the Dutch government does not look
so great to them.
Persons who see the former ruler
daily assert that his health is quite
good now and that he is enjoying the
balmv summer weather. Like the for
mer crown prince, he does not ap-
pear to suffer over what has happen
ed to Germany. Only the former en-
press grieves over the fallen fortunes
of her country. Army Surgeon For
ster, of Berlin, attends them daily.
A Dutch professor who was at the
castle a few days ago and conversed
with the former kaiser said he was
surprised to find his brain so active
and to learn of what was happen
ing in the scientific world, including
chemistry.
The villagers here are allowed to
dalk down the private lane by the
side of the castle going toward the
Rhine, from which the former kaiser
may be seen. The gardens are full OF
roses, geraniums and other flowers.
The foliage of the trees is at its best.
The entire landscape is owned by
| Count Bentinck.
The former emperor's hair and
beard are quite white and are trimm-
ed every afternoon by Frederick
Stob. the village barber, who will not
| talk to any one about what he sees
and hears inside the castle.

HEN MARKS HER

Whoppers in Size.
VALDOSTA, Ga.-The idea of
placing serial numbers upon her
eggs has marked for distinction a
hen belonging to w. S. Boone, of Val
dosta. Last week this hen laid two
eggs with serial numbers on them
The first one noticed had the figure
"6" distinctly emblazoned on each
end and the next day egg No. Z ap-
peared in the same way. The tgures
appeared on both ends of the eggs,
and are very plain and unmistakable.
Besides being thus peculiarly mark
ed the eggs weighed four ounces
each. thus four of them would weigh
one pound. The further performances
of this rather peculiar hen will be
carefully watched. Eggs with many
unusual markings have been reported
from time to time, but this is the
first instance where a hen has num-
bered her eggs as they were prcduc-
ed.
