been seized in various parts OF the
country under the revenue laws, but
expressed the belief that it was not
a considerable quantity in comparison
with the total amount seized since
prohibition became law.
Returns CT some liquor probably
would be necessary where it had been
seized under the revenue laws, Mr..
Kramer asserted, adding that while
some of it may have been destroyed,
large quantities are still awaiting de-
termination of the status by the
courts.
Mr.. Kramer said he believed the
South Carolina ruling would not
greatly interfere with prohibition en-
forcement. At present, he said, very
little real liquor is being taken by
federal agents in raids. Most of the
illegal liquors, he explained, were i'm
itation concoctions transported by
bootleggers for sale as the established
brands of liquors.

Little Liquor to be Returned.

Washington, March 27.-Little IL
ouor will have to be returned to own
ers as a result of a recent ruling OF
the United States circuit court IN
South Carolina that the Volstead act
supersedes the internal revenue laws
in so far as they apply to intoxicat-
ing liquors, Prohibition Commissioner
Kramer said today. The assertion
was made in New York yesterday OF
federal officials in halting a raid on
the ground that the ruling made seiz-
ures under the revenue laws illegal.
The great bulk of the liquor seized
by the government Commissioner
Kramer declared, was taken under
the Volstead act while being trans
ported illegally, and this liquor would
be unaffected by the new interpreta-
tion of the law. He added that he aid

Farmstead improvements.

Clemson College, March 18.-Some
interesting figures as to farm and
farmstead improvements made in
South Carolina in 1919 through the
advice and assistance of county
agents are shown in the figures be-
low from annual reports. The num-
Der of farm buildings erected as re-
forted from II counties was 1871.
The number of farm buildings i'm
proved as reported from Ia counties
was 131. The number of farm build
ings painted or whitewashed as re-
ported from IL counties was 189.
In the matter of home conven-
fences the report from 26 counties
show 473 honic water systems INSTALL
ed, n:a...ing total of 1892 such sys-
tens now in use. Home lighting sys-
TENS installed in 80 counties number
ed 500, making a total of such sys-
TENS 4,37S. Reports from % counties
showed S46 home grounds improved,
and reports from 19 counties showed
far mand sanitary conditions improv-
ed on 1107 farms.
In the way of farm improvements
the reports show 400 new pastures
established in "a counties, 229 old
pastures renovated in 25 counties,
29 drainage systems established in
II counties, Sc farmers in 20 coun-
ties induced to remove stumps, 494
farmers in 16 counties induced to
terrace lands, 1922 farmers in II
counties induced to plant home gar.
dens, and S,O93 farmers in SO coun-
ties induced to plant cover crops to
be turned under for soil improve
ment.
The total number of acres ditch
ed, terraced and stumped was 49,
126. Estimating the resultant i'm
provement at $500 per acre, this
gives total of S13O,630 as improv-
ed value of these lands.

Flames Imperil Capital of
japan.

Tokyo, March 27 (By the Associa-
ted Press).- The whole city of Tokyo
was imperiled last night by the great
est fire with which it has been visited
in a decade. The conhagration destroy
ed a thousand houses in the Yotsuya
district. in the northwestern part OF
the CITY, involving a loss estimated
at 25,OOO,OOo yen, (normally about
s12,50OO, ,OOO). Thousands of persons
weremade homeless and 233 persons
were injured. The burned buildings
included three hospitals, bank and
several large business houses.
For four hours during the night
a violent, biting wind drove the
flames in the direction of the heart
of the city causing panic among
the population over wide area. Four
thousand troops aided the fremen in
combating the blaze but it was only
when the force of the wind let down
notably that their efforts to control
the fire were rewarded with success.
Scenes of terror were witnessed in
many sections as the course of the
flames threatened widespread destruc-
ton. The streets were choked with
masses of despairing refugees from
the districts already stricken, accom-
panied by carts loaded with furni-
ture, the confusion being added to by
the focking in of sightseers from 9th
er sections. Many of the half frozen
fugitives fleeing from the flames bore
infants strapped to their backs.
Mounted police had great difficulty in
restraining incipient panics.-
AS a meausre of relief the imperial
gardens were opened to the sufferers.
The fire burned so fiercely and with
such intense brightness that the skies
were illuminated by fiery halo
which was visible for hundreds of
miles as it hung over the city. The
diet, which was in session when the
blaze Started, adjourned when its
threatening nature was reported.

Prison Figures Show Decrease.

Prison Figures SnOW DeSiSos
Chicago, March 23.-Prison popu,
lation of the middle and southwestern
United States has decreased 12.4 pei
cent. in the past six years, accord
ing to reports collected by the AS
sociated Press from state peniten-
tiaries in 16 states.
The decrease amounted to 2,729
prisoners. The total penitentiary pop
t lion of the 16 states in 1914 was
21, ,947, in 1920 1925. Date of the
comparative figures was for the most
part December 1 of each year.
Falling off in the prison population
of the section is equivalent to more
than the combined prisoners of Iowa,
Kansas, Wisconsin and North and
South Dakota in 1914.
Decrease, however was shown to be
not uniform throughout the territory.
Six states have the reverse to show,
reporting an increase, while one pre-
sented exactly the same figures. The
decrease came from nine states.
The advance in six states amount
ed to 834 prisoners while the decrease
in the nine states aggregated 1868
prisoners. This gave the total net de-
crease of 2,729. 4
States whose penitentiaries report
ed less convicts than six years ago
were Arkansas, Indiana, Iowa, Ken
lucky, Minnesota, Missouri, North
Dakota, Texas and Wisconsin. States
that had the contrary story. to tell
were Illinois, Kansas, Michigan, Ne
braska, Ohio and Oklahoma. South
Dakota was the state whose prison
population on December ! of the two
years was identical.
The largest decrease in any state
was shown by Kentucky, its peniten-
tiary inmates falling off s1S or 81
per cent. In this state 1914 figures
were not obtainable, and the nearest
date was December /, 1916, when the
state penitentiary held 2,1S2 con-
victs, as against 1854 on December
1 of last year.
The largest increase was noted in
Ohio, where convicts at the state pen
itentiary increased 291 or II per cent
in the six year period, specifically
from 1902 to 1898.
In the past year alone, from De-
cember 1, 1919, to December 1, 1920,
the total prison population of the 16
states fell off 7O2 prisoners or 37s
per cent.

Purebred Livestock Industry.

For the first time in history the
Census Bureau has made an attempt
to collect and compile statistics on
the purebred livestock industry. Re-
ports from ten States have been made
public and these show that the indus
try is farther advanced than many
persons thought. Notwithstanding
the splendid showing made, the per-
centage of farms reporting purebred
livestock is not large. There is yet
much room for missionary effort on
the part of farm publications and
pure bred livestock associations.
The ten states for which purebred
livestock figures have been reported
and the percentage of farms having
purebred stock are: South Carolina,
3.21 per cent; Virginia, ATT per cent;
Delaware, 6.29 per cent; West Vir-
ginia, 8.18 per cent; Oklahoma, 11.07
per cent; Massachusetts,, 100 per
cent; Michigan, 11.12 per cent; Ohio,
OF per cent; and Indiana, 1917 per
cent. The states are mentioned ac-
cording to the percentage of farms
reporting purebreds.
Of the ten states mentioned in the
report, Indiana leads with 1917 per
cent of all farms having purebred
livestock. This does not mean that all
livestock on these farms are purebred
and therefore the percentage of pure
breds as compared with tn. : tai num-
ber of animals is much less.
1t is only comparatively of recent
years that purebred animals were con
sidered as essential to profitable
framing. They were bred largely as a
hobby by wealthy men. At the pres
ent time there are thousands of far
n.ers who have been convinced that
scrubs are undesirable. Their num-
bers are increasing. During the next
decade one may expect to see the
scrub replaced by animals of the bet
ter kind on the majority of farms in
the country.-Farm and Ranch.

Way Colds Are Dangerous.

1t is the serious diseases that colds
lead to that makes them dangerous.
They prepare the system for the re-
ception and development of the germs
of Influenza, pneumonia, tuberculosis,
dyphtheria, scarlet fever, whooping
cough and measles. You are much
more likely to contract these diseases
when you have cold. For that rea-
son you should get rid of every cold
as quickly as possible. Chamberlain S

Keep the Plant Running.

Every well regulated farm is oper-
ated twelve months of the year. Some
departments may be closed for the
season, but others are opened and the
machinery keeps going. On the other
hand there are many farms that oper-
ate but part of the year. These are
generally one-crop farms on which
there is little or no livestock. The
owner, or tenant, CANDLES on the turn
of a single card. If he wins, he is in
CLOVER" but he more often loses
and when he does, he talks longest
and loudess about working sixteen
hours day for twelve months and
getting nothing for it.
AS matter of fact do all farmers,
particularly the one crop farmer,
work twelve months in year or even
sixteen hours any day except for
limited period of time? According to
Agricultural Department statisticians
the one crop grain farmer works four
months out of the twelve and the one
crop cotton farmer not more than five
or six, counting the innumerable
days inwhich he does not enter the
fields during the season. 1t is only
the diversifer who does livestock
farming who puts in full time, and
because he has something to do every
month of the year, he is generally in
better shape financially than his
neighbor who depends upon a single
source of income.
While there is considerable talk
about difference in living conditions
as between the farm and the city, 1T
is well to understand that the major
ity of men in the city who earn their
living working for others, are occu-
pied every day of the year except
Sunday without regard to weather
conditions. If the average wage earn
er or salaried man in the city laid off
even one month in the year, the most
of them would find it difficult mat
ter to meet their obligations. The
same may be said of the man in bus
mess. He either keeps his factory in
operation or his business going con-
CORN the entire wear, or else he goes
into bankruptcy.
No business, even that of farming,
can expect to prosper unless it is op-
Grated continuously. Intelligent di,
versifcation along with livestock
farming is a safe and sure way to
keep the farm plant running full
time all the year. Farm and Ranch.

Put the Money in the. Banks.

l. VI llIC AN4oAAOJ @1~"~
Mr.Hugh H. Saxon, assistant CASH
ier of the Georgia Railroad bank, who
has just returned from Macon, where
he attended the convention of the
Georgia Bankers, tells interestingly
of action had there having for it's pur-
pose the effort to induce people to
put their money in banks, and not to
keep it in private safes or between
the mattresses at home.
For the promotion of public conf
dence, the bankers at Macon voted to
expend $4,000 this year in advertis-
ing banking in the abstract in COO
operative way in the daily newspa-
pers of Georgia and in one weekly
paper in each county and in one or
more farm papers. Wilson M. Hardy
of Rome was made chairman of the
committee to handle the advertising
campaign.
In summary of the principal fea-
lures of the report to congress by the
comptroller of the currency that Of
fcer discusses at some length the mat
ter of the alleged currency imitation,
and presents figures showing that
the proportion of the money in cir
culation to the total resources of the
banks is now considerably smaller
than before the European War.
While the amount of money actually
"in circulation" increased from $3,-
419, 100000 in July, 1914 to S.
3sO,s52,0OO in July, 1920, the Comp
troller shows that this is largely ac-
counted for by the increase in our
holdings of gold deposited with Fed
eral Reserve Banks, against which
| Federal Reserve Notes have been is
sued. The Comptroller says that the
increase in circulation of 1862 mil
lion thus mainly represented by Fed
eral Reserve Notes, to secure which
the Federal Reserve Banks now hold
approximately SO per cent in gold.
A usmmary is presented of the $5,-
3sO,S52,OOO of money in circulation,
which shows that of this sum the ma
tional banks held in their vaults 45O
million, banks under state supervi'
sion 626 million, and Federal Reserva
Banks Exclusive of more than a bill
lion dollars of gold pledged as reserve
against Federal Reserve notes out,
standing) 960 million, leaving bal,
ance of money in the pockets of the
people, in tills and cash drawers OF
merchants, and money boarded in
safe-deposit boxest stockings, etc.,
and currency circulating in Cuba and
other foreign countries, 1894 million
dollars.
While in general way, it is known
that many people pocket, safe-vault
or home-hide their money, no one
supposed that this immense amount
was handled in such manner. Fol
your own protection, for the protec
ton of your money-to guard il
against loss and destruction-put il

The Best Garden Ever in 1921;
Things to Do Now.

1nlnSS 10 Ao lNo"'
Cultivation or tillage is manure to
a greater extent in the garden than
in the field. Keep the push plow, rake
and hoe on their jobs. Let no crust
form and no weeds grow.
II.
Keep hotbed and cold frame plants
growing regularly, but not too fast.
Thin, or better still, shift all plants
that become crowded or too slender.
Give plenty of air and sunshine when
the temperature permits.
III.
For succession, set cabbage, let
tuce and caulifower, and plant, kale,
mustard, turnip, spinach, carrot, En-
glish pea, corn and beets. In the low
er South risk a row or two of bush
beans, cucumber, and cantaloupe.
w.
Don't forget to try out some va
rieties of standard sorts that you have
not grown before. Plant some new
kinds, such as Brussels sprouts, cress,
kale, kohl-rabi, spinach, chard, eel
cry, celeriac, garlic, satisfy, parsnip,
carrot and parsley, sweet, pot, and
medicinal herbs.
V.
verbena, aster, phlox, petunia,
pansy, candytuft, Gamma, chrysanthe-
mum, daisy, dahlia, dianthus, poppy,
sweet pea and violet must be looked
after now and given the attention
each needs. Keep pansies, violets and
sweetpea blossoms picked as they
open. This will prolong their bloom
ing season and give larger and pref
tier blossoms in greater abundance. A
mulch of coarse manure about rose
and other bushes and vines will help
them to greater vigor of both stem
and blossoms. Try handful of fer
tilizer around your shrubs and vines,
chopping it into the ground.
VI.
Get ready for the striped cucumber
beetle and get him before he does
his deadly work. This insiduous pest
will crawl into the first crack made
when cucumber, melon or squash
seeds germinate and often will de-
stroy the stand before the young
plants come out of the ground. Mix
one peck sifted air-slaked lime, four
ounces Paris green, two ounces ar
senate of lead, and dust this mixture
into the cracked soil and over the
young plants as they come up. This
may be applied from small flour
sack or similar sack made from some
open mesh cloth. Boil and dry the
flour sack, put about the pint of the
poison in it, shake it over the hills.
Repeat every four to six days and
after rains.
VII
Supports for pole beans that give
the vines encouragement to run"
as it is their nature to do, may be
provided by several means. Where
it is convenient to get poles of the
desired shape, length and lightness,
they should be cut before the sap
rises and allowed to season. Do not
cut young timber that may be of SER
vice later on. .Dogwood is good, as
is alder, but the latter lasts only one
or two seasons. For setting these
poles firmly in the ground, use post
hole punch. If this is not available,
cut straight 3O-inch section OF a
dogwood tree three inches in diam
eter and hew it to the shape of long
wedge. Drive this in the ground to
the depth desired, remove and set
the pole firmly so that it will not
blow over when it becomes top
heavy with the bean vines.-Progres-
sive Farmer.
