Work on Sweet-Potato Syrup Re-
sumed at Georgia Plant.

Work is progressing favorably in
connection with the development Of
the commercial possibilities Of the
sweet-potato syrup, under the direc-
ton of the Bureau of Chemistry Of
the United States Department of
Agriculture. 4 method of getting a
satisfactory syrup from surplus and
Gull sweet potatoes was worked out
some time ago in the laboratories at
Washington. A small experimental
plant was erected at Fitzgerald, Ga,
last spring, where 800 gallons were
made and later distributed among
syrup manufacturers, confections,
bakers, wholesale jobbers, extension
directors, and others likely to be in
terested in the project. Certain
changes in the process to improve the
quality and flavor of the syrup have
been made. The plant at Fitzgerald
is being equipped with additional
machinery to embody these changes,
and operations are being resumed
The commercial possibilities of the
new syrup have not yet been fully
determined, but the local people are
very enthusiastic about the product
Sweet-potato syrup is of interest to
candy makers, blenders, and bakers,
and also appeals to some as a table
syrup. If the cost of production can
be kept sufficiently low, sweet-potato
syrup will probably prevent the waste
of large quantities of sweet potatoes
which are unsuitable for market.

HOW PROHIBITION PROHIBITS.
Enormous Number of Distilleries and
Stills Seized During Past Year.

The annual report Of the commits
sioner Of internal revenue covering
the fiscal year ending June 30, last,
contains some very interesting fig
ures on the workings of prohibition.
lts shows that an enormous number
OF Illicit di.tilleries and distilling ap-
paratus were seized in southern
states which were supposed to be un-
der prohibition for some years prior
to national prohibition. The figures
are given al follows: In Georgia the
number seized was 1886; in North
Carolina, 1918; in Virginia, H.
365; in Alabama, 1O,6O3; in Ten
nesse, S317; in South Carolina, 1882;
in Kentucky, 3177; in Florida, 1928;
in Mississippi, 1865; in West Vir-
ginia, 1921; total, 83,107.
The report shows that the total re-
ceipts from taxes on non-alcoholic
beverages, was $58,675,972.86. The
amount of cereal beverages contain
ing less than one-half of one per
cent alcohol produced, was ass 1885,
$50, gallons; the amount disposed of
was 294, 301,137, the equivalent of
o,493,595 barrels. In the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1914, the beer pro-
duction in this country was $685.

How the Government has employ
ed F'ederal-aid funds for road build
ing through the Bureau of Public
Roads, United States Department Of
Agriculture, among the various types
OF roads, is shown in a summary just
prepared by the department. The
tabulation covers the expenditure of
S211, 1876 ,276.31 of Federal-aid funds
from the beginning of the work when
it was authorized by Congress up to
November /, 1921, a period of 4
years and months That sum was
applied toward the construction of
28,135 miles Of roads. The total
cost was .$496,151,683.43. The
average cost was S17,630 per mile.
Nearly SO per cent of the Federal
aid funds, or S75,6O0,279.30, went
into the construction of 4,653.6 miles
of high-grade concrete roads. Next
in size were total appropriations of
$47,192,8 ,895.41> Federal-aid funds ap-
piled to the building of 10,O435 miles
of gravel road, at a total cost of
$104 4,614,O66.71. Federal-aid funds
to the extent of s24.721.02O.92 were
applied during the period to the con-
struction of 1854 miles Of graded
and drained roads, at a total cost of
s55,704,253.78. High-grade btu
minous-macadam roads of which

through Federal aid. That sum went
toward the construction of 772.5
miles of Of roadway, at total cost
Of $23,445,374.88.
Toward the construction of brick
roads, Of which 444.6 miles were
built Federal aid was available to the
extent Of $6,925 ,482.l3; and toward
the cost of 2695.5 miles of sand-clay
roads. the Federal Government con-
tributed s1O,495,172.10. The total
cost Of ssand-clay roads was $22,-

ENEMY OF CANE BORER.
Cuban Parasite Firmly Established
in Louisiana Fields.

The sugar cane growers OF Loulsl-
ana should feel very encouraged over
the fact that Washington officials
have been making Investigations and
have found that there is sufficient
number of Cuban parasites on the
plantations, in the state to make head
way against the cane borer in the
course of time, according to L. T..
Holloway, entomologist, Southern
field crop Investigations at Audobon
Park, New Orleans. The cane borer
is a pest which destroys millions Of
dollars worth of cane in the sugar.
producing sections of Louisiana,
Florida and Texas, while the Cuban
insect, though similar to the house fly
in general appearance, has very diff
ferent habits, in that it seeks out
larvae of the sugar-cane moth bOrer
and kills each larvoe that it finds.
''To aid in controlling the sugar
cane moth borer, Federal entomolia
gists recommended that d parasitic
fly, a tachinid. common in Cuban
cane fields, be brought to the Louisl-
ana plantations,' said Mr.. Holloway.
"As government funds were not ade
uuate, a number of Louisiana sugar
planters raised several thousand dol
lars to supplement the small govern
ment appropriation, and five men
were sent to Cuba to collect the flies.
These parasites were released on AZ
plantations in 1920. They have been
found on IT of these places this fall
In 1919 they were released at three
plantations, and are now found at
only one Of these places. Thus at IT
places the parasites have lived over
one winter and at one place they have
lived over two winters. There was
much doubt a. to whether they could
stand our winters, SO this data is very
encouraging"
Sugar planters are very much in
terested in the work and hopeful Of
beneficial results in the years to come
when the parasite has become suffi-
GENTLY abundant to have any pro-
nounced effect.

LISTEN LESTER!
Greeted by Capacity Audiences at Tu.
lane-Coming to Theatre Wilbert.

Listen Lester" a sparkling COM
edy, will be the attraction at Theatre
Wilbert next Monday night, Deccm-
Der l9. The Company played Il
weeks engagement at the Tulane
Theatre in New Orleans and was
greeted by capacity audiences each
night. The New Orleans Item in it's
issue of December ~. had the fol-
lowing complimentary mention Of
the splendid company:
"A sunny musical comedy, rich in
catchy jingles and furnished with a
graceful chorus is Listen Lester,
which opened at Tulane Theatre
Sunday night to capacity audiences
for a weeks run. It's funny this
skittish little proffering Of the New
York Knickerbocker fame. There is
snappy lines (as the press agents
have promisad) in constant stream.
The packed house seemed to enjoy
the play immensely. q
~ sumptuous toe dance nun der
by Misses June Douglas and Rita
Small, voluptuous and ye-gratify-
ing, woke the audience to hearty Ell
thusiasm. The young women were
recalled several times. Immediately
following, Lester beloved eccentric
who, is the core of the production,
offered a speciality dance which was
nearly rs we'll received. Thomas
Barrett he of the talkative legs,
plays Lester The song hits Of the
evening were: Waiting for You,"
and "Jack, I'd Love To-" These
songs have been made popular by the
company. Were catchily presented
with amusing byplay which got
across. Another enlivening number
was See Her First" in which Ar
butus and the giris, submitting some
daring bathing suits, advised pros
pective husbands to See Her First
in bathing suit. Aside from the
merits of the advice, the graceful
lines revealed by the customes were
excuse aplenty for the song.
"Others about whom much of the
humor revolved were Lynton Athey
as the Colonel. and Louise Wolf as
the designing widow. Musical num-
bers were: When Things Come
Your Way Brides Waiting for
YOU Show Littel Something New,
"A Very Good Baby in the Daytime,
When the Shadows FALL I'D Love

Nearly so Miles Of Bridges Built
by Government Aid.

More than $8,525, 900 has been cx-
pended by the Federal Government,
through the Bureau Of Public Roads,
United States Department of Agri-
culture, toward the building Of
bridges on Federal aid roads and
highways in 35 States during the 4
year and 4 months ending Novem-
Der last. That period dates back
to the inception of the Federal aid
road work as at present supervised.
Placed end to end, these bridges,
each of which has been constructed
in connection with the road work,
would total 47.4 miles. Their estl-
mated total cost is placed by the de.
partment at $20,235, ,200.13. It will
thus be seen that approximately AZ
per cent of the total cost was con-
tributed by the Federal Government:
The location of some Of the chief
projects and their total cost was as
follows: Georgia, s2,950, ,474.59; New
Jersey,$5, ,108, ,402.75; North Dakota
81, ,306, 6,384.59; Oklahoma, s2,28O,
769.76; South Carolina, s1,4o4,
278.25; and Texas, 5000, ,967.20.
