1000 ARE DEAD AND MUCH OF
MANY COAST CITIES ARE IN
RUINS
ENORMOUS TIDAL WAVE
Two Steamers Left High And Dry.
Inhabitants Are Panic Stricken.
Loss Estimated At Five Mil
lion Pesos

Santiago, Chille-More than 500
houses in Coquimbo, province of Co
plapo, have disappeared as the result
OF an earthquake that shook Chile.
1t is estimated that at least 1000 are
dead. Countless numbers are home
less and destitute.
The inhabitants were panic stricken
and ran to the hills The advance of
the sea was accompanied by electrical
discharges.
Two steamers were left high and
dry when the waters receded. The
mole and railway depots were de-
stroyed. Great quantities of mercfhn.
disc were scattered along the water
front.
The railway depots were shaken
down, railway cars were upset, and
the inhabitants spent the night in the
hills near by The loss is estimated
at 100000 pesos.
The tidal wave carried away the
greater part of the mole.
A message from Who's, in Aconca-
qua, north of Valparaiso, says an
earth shock and tidal wave destroyed
IL fishermen's houses and the greater
part of the mole there. -Four child
rem were injured.
Advices from Yerbas Buenas, pro-
vince Of Coquimbo, say the region
toward the north is in ruins, and that
many houses have fallen.
All telegraph communication with
points north of La Serena, in the
province of Coquimbo has ceased.
Advices telling of the disaster at Co
piapo were received here by way Of
Bolivia and Buenos Aires.
The tidal wave at Chanarl destroy
ed the greater part of the town. The
Inhabitants are without food.
Reports from Conception and Tai
cahuano, to the south, make no men

cepcion strong earth movement was
felt for about three minutes, at mid
night At Talcahuano a tidal wave
occurred, following the subsistence of
which the water level was lower than
normal.
The movement was steady, and
caused no damage.

Practical Method To Destroy Boil
WeeviI Accidentally Discovered.

DeRidder, La.-Historians have re-
corded the fact that some of the
greatest inventions and scientific dis
coVerie's known to mainland have
been the results of accidents. His
tory, it appears, repeated itself when
it was discovered the cotton boil wee
vii could be destroyed by blowing
under the green stalks of cotton as
soon as the crop rs harvested and be-
fore the weevil has had an oppor-
tunity to hibernate.
That discovery, recently made in
Beauregard parish, was an accident.
This parish has gone heavily in the
business of crop diversification.
When the cotton crop was harvest
ed at the close Of last season, the
farmers, acting in concert, decided to
use their cotton land for a fall crop,
and plowed under all of the green
stalks. They raised their fall and
winter crops last season, and in thu
spring concluded to plant the same
land in cotton. When, the cotton
crop matured this season there were
few weevils and almost no damage.
1t was then discovered that blowing
the green stalks under last fall be-
fore the weevils could hibernate is
what destroyed the pests.
The discovery is worth millions of
dollars to the South. 1t is simple
and easy process of getting rid Of
the weeyilS.

DAIRY
POINTS
BUTTER RATED FOR QUALITY
Producers Lose Much Money Because
of imperfect Conditions and
Methods in Making.

| prepared by the United States Department
| Of Agriculture.)
If you are a producer or manufac-
| turer of butter, were you disappointed
| in the price you received for that last
! shipment? Quality is the chief factor
In determining butter prices, and ac-
cording to United States Department
| of Agriculture circular 236, just issued,
| even small defects in quality may re-
suit in the loss of a sale or cut in
price.
Several million dollars annually are
lost to producers and manufacturers
because of imperfect conditions and
methods in production, manufacture
and marketing of dairy products, the
circular states. During 1920 the mar
ginal difference in the prices of high
and low quality butter amounted at
times to as much as Is cents between
81 score and 90 score. Lack Of
proper attention or care in the cream
cry in grading the cream, or in churn-
ing, working, sailing or packing the
butter are stated to be mainly reSpon-
sible for this condition.
The circular enumerataS and de-
Scribes the various factors such as
flavor, body, color, salt and package
that influence price. These factors
are given specific ratings by local and
federal butter inspectors, and receiv-
ers, in determining the final score Of
the product, and the ratings are gov
erned by the absence or presence of
certain defects described in the circu-
lar.
1t is stated that there has never
before been a time in the history Of
American butter making when it paid
so well to produce high-quality butter
as during recent years. But to secure
