HIGHER PRICES Fer GOOBER
Cooperative Marketing Saved AIaba-
ma Farmers $50 to $3.50 Per
Ton on Peanuts.

One of the functions of the county
agent under the cooperative extension
system carried on by the United States
Department of Agriculture and the
state colleges of agriculture is to de-
wise new channels for marketing stock
and produce. In Barham county, Ala
bama, mill prices on peanuts were
lower than the farmers deemed profit
able. Through the efforts of the coun-
ty agent, % carloads, AGO tons, were
sold to the confectionery trade at an
advance of ST. $50 over the mill prices.
Cooperative marketing saved the
farmers from $50 to $3.50 a ton.

Queer Siamese Customs

The Siamese believe that the ar

diseases are caused by deranged func-

a child the mother has to lie 80 days
roasting in front of hot fire. When
a man gets sick he calls in a doctor
and agrees with him on a fixed sum
for a cure. If he dies, or fails to get
well, the doctor gets nothing. The
dead are kept for from two days to

ON LIQUOR
FOR USE Of
Druggists May Keep in
Stock Such Quantity as
They Find Necessary to
Meet Trade Demands.

Restrictions on the withdrawal OF
whisky and wine from bonded ware.
houses by retail druggists were lifteo
yesterday in new orders issued by Rev.
enue Commissioner Williams, which
became effective today, according to
dispatches received in Ell Centre from
Washington, ID. c.
Wine and whisky for the sick can
be withdrawn after today, by the drug
gists to meet all reasonable de-
mands," according to Commissioner
Williams order.
The orders issued by the revenue
commissioner authorized retail drug
gists, beginning today, to withdraw
the liquor in such amounts as are
needed to meet requirements.
These orders greatly modify in
structions issued Jan. 28, which linn
tied the Withdrawals by druggists to
but cases of liquor on a single with
drawal
1t simply means that the druggists
will be enabled to keep a larger sup
ply of whisky and wine without any
"tglt" limitation on the amount of
their withdrawals from the warehouse.
Druggists hereafter will be permit
ted to withdraw up to 100 gallons OF
whisky and 100 gallons of wine every
three months. They will be allowed
to withdraw in larger amounts. Com
missioner Williams directed, by fur
nishing satisfactory proof with the
prohibition directors of their districts
that larger quantities are necessary
to meet trade demands.
According to the dispatches, Com
missioner Williams new orders af-
fecting the Withdrawals of wines is
the first step to be taken by the in
ternal revenue department to "liber-
alize" the dry regulations, since the
opinion of former Attorney General
Palmer, placing wine and beer Off
cially in the status of whisky for
medicinal purposes. was announced.

(By Associated Press)

SEATTLE, Wash, April 1.-Seven
passengers and three of the crew of
the steamship Governor, which sank
off Point Wilson early this morning
are missing, according to wireless
which is bringing the survivors to
Seattle.
The West Hartland rammed the
Governor in a dense fog, the collision
being caused by misunderstood signals
it is believed.
The West Hartland's bow is badly
damaged and she is proceeding at half
speed against high winds and heavy
sea-
The Governor carried 172 passengers
and crew of 124. The missing pas1
sengers are Mrs. w. w. Washburn,
Saide Washburn. Olen Washburn, be-
boarded the steamer at Los Angeles
Harbor; j. Clancy, believed to lived
in British Columbia; F. Sheek, V. Brul-
sena and Alfred Kisean, who boarded
the boat at San Francisco. The miss
ing members of the crew are George
Christensen, C. NJ. Auburton and
II. Webster.
The collision occurred at 1904
o'clock and Immediately afterward the
Governors boilers blew up and she
sank at Ills. Boats from both steam
ers took the passengers and crew to
the West Hartland
Twenty-one persons including three
members of the crew may have lost
their lives when the Governor sank, it
was learned on the arrival of the West
Hartland here with the survivors on
board. A number of passengers were
slightly hurt while being taken from
the sinking vessel, but only one, Mrs.

Except in Ulster Where Pro-

Trouble, Catholics and
PrOtestants Dwell in Peace
and Harmony.
(BY Associated PreSSl

WASHINGTON, April 1.-Religious
aspects of the troubles in Ireland are
discussed in report made public here
which supplements the 10000 word
findings of the commission of the Com
mittee of One Hundred investigating
the Irish question. The supplementary
report, made by the Protestant mem
bers of the commission, summarizes
the evidence presented at the hearings
held here in November, December and
January, as follows:
l. "Outside of a part of Ulster,
Catholics and Protestants live in peace
and harmony and their political opin-
ions are not primarily matter of re-
ligion.
2. even in Ulster religious bigotry
is not by any means wholly spontan-
eous, but is artificially stirred up by
those whose economic and political in
terests are served by dividing the
people.
8. while it obviously lies beyond
our province to pass final judgment
upon the various aspects of the Ulster
issue, we have not only right but a
duty as American prOtestants to de-
nounce the degradation of religion by
such pogroms as occurred last sum-
mer. Upon this subject we owe it to
our fellow religionists both in America
and in Ulster, to speak plainly"
All of the members of the commits
sion, excepting United States Senator
David |. Walsh of Massachusetts, who
were chosen by the committee to con-
duct the inquiry, are Protestants.
These members are Jane Adams, Hull
House, Chicago; L. H. Wood, lawyer,
New York; Frederick c. Howe, former
United States Commissioner of lmmi
grafton, New York; James H. Maurer,
President American Federation of La
Dor, of Pennsylvania; Major Oliver p.
Newman, formerly commissioner of
the District of Columbia; United States
Senator George w. Norris of Nebras-
ka; and Rev. Norman Thomas of New
York
"No examination of the Irish situa-
tion can ignore the religious issue" "
says the report. 1T seemed peculiar
ly appropriate that the Protestant
members should deal with the subject
in view of the overwhelming predom-
nance of Roman Catholics in Ireland
and the charge sometimes heard in
Protestant circles that Republican SEN
timent has its chief origin in eccles-
iastical agitation
The only evidence before the COM
mission concerning serious religious
controversy resulting in the destruc-
ton of life and property dealt with the
Ulster riots of the summer of 1920,
the report says. Unable to obtain tes-
timony from eye-witnesses of any
member of societies devoted to the
cause of Protestant ascendancy in Ul-
ster," the commission says it heard
the testimony of three individual nom
Catholics, two of whom were Ameri-
can citizen and the third British
citizen of Scotch h-Presbyterian stock.

POWER
Report to Be Made to New
Federal Power Commits.
sion on Vast Natural Re-
sources of State.

In order that the Federal Power
commission in Washington may have
before it a complete study Of the con-
dition of lands in California covering
the amount of land under irrigation
and that to be put under irrigation
the California Bureau of Economies
is preparing to file with the Federal
Power commission at Washington a
report upon the condition of Califor-
MIA land.
To summarize, this report will point
out that the total land area of Califor-
MIA is 99,617,2S0 acres, of which there
are 18,41S,G43 acres in National for
ests, 20,239,97 acres in inappropriate
ed public lands, 463,041 acres in In
dian reservations, 745,79S acres in
school lands, a ,555 ,941 acres of pri-
vate timber holders, 27,262 ,436 acres
of miscellaneous lands, and 27 ,931 ,444
acres of farm lands.
Of the total acreage of farm lands
there are but 1898, 800 acres under IL
rigation, and 7,496,394 acres which
are improved but not irrigated, thus
making a total of II ,3S9 1894 acres of
improved farm lands, while the total
of unimproved lands amounts to 49,
541, $50 acres.
1t is thus seen that little over q
per cent of the land of the state is in
farms, ii per cent of which is i'm
proved. The improved land includes
not only the orchards and vineyards
and all other irrigated areas, but all
other land pastured and cropped in ro-
tation, land lying fallow, and land oc-
cupied by farm buildings. The figures
are sufficient to show that about 80
per cent of the state is not now used
annually for crop production.
The report will point out that Cali
fornia has a potential maximum of
100000 horsepower of hydro electric
energy commercially practicable to be
developed, this figure representing the
amount at primary sources alone.
while probably as much more can be
developed at secondary sources, but
at higher cost. Of the 1000 600 po-
tential horsepower, only 100000 has
been developed.
Further development Of the power
resources and the application of the
hydro electric energy to farm uses, not
only for farm irrigation but for the
installation of labor saving machinery
in all branches of farm work, will lead
to the higher evolution of the farm life
and raise the standard of the farmers
existence, besides increasing the
amount of productive land throughout
the state. The work is yet in its in
fancy, and can attain the highest de-
velopment only through the utilization
of the enormous possibilities of hydro
electric resources, with which Calfor-
MIA is SO amply provided

INDIANS FARM
MUCH LAND ON
RESERVATION
Government Encouraging Red
Man to Pay Attention TO Al
falfa and Forage Crops.

More than 900 units of 10 acres each
have been placed under intensive cul-
tivation this year in the Indian reser-
Vatlon IN the southeastern part Of I'M
perlal county. According to l.. L.
Odle, superintendent Of the superin-
tendent of the reservation, more than
one-haf the units are farmed by the
Indians themselves. Many of the In
dians have been compelled to retake
charge of their holders allotted them
by the government as the result of
unremunerative cotton leases. Last
year not more than one-third of the
allotments were affirmed by Indians.
The government Indian service is
endeavoring to encourage active farm
ing by Indians, but the management
of the Indian service is unable at times
to overcome the desire of the redskin
wards to accept cash rentals for their
land. The fact that last season two
thirds of the units. or more than 5000
acres of the cultivated part of the
reservation, was farmed under the di-
rection of white men and women was
due to attractive rental offers result
ing from the high prices of cotton pre-
vaiiing for several years previously.
According to Odle, some of the re-
servation land this season produced
more than two bales of cotton to the
acre. In addition to the methods used
the reservation land is said to be
among the most fertile in California.
A greater interest in alfalfa and for
age crops is being encouraged by the
Indian agency. The population of the
reservation is about 500
