SI00,000,0O0 GAIN
IN IMPORT TAX
$445, 900, 900 Forecast For Fis-
cal Year Under New Tariff
s4o;s6s,Ooo FIRST MONTH
Custom Receipts Attain New Record,
According To Treasury Officials
Greater Revenue Than
Estimated.

Washington.-A Federal revenue of
approximately $445, 100000 this fiscal
year from import taxes, or about
$100,OO0,000 more than in the nations
history, was forecast by customs Of
ficials.
This is on the basis of returns under
the new tariff act for a month and a
half its operation, and the almost un-
precedented income which Immediate
ly preceded the enactment of the
Fordney McCumber statute, when
there were heavy Withdrawals from
bonded warehouses and rush of i'm
ports to avoid the higher duties Of the
new law.
The actual revenue for the first
month of the operation of the pro-
tective measure was $4O,S6S,266 or at
the rate Of nearly $500, 100000 year.
Officials said this was the first time
that customs receipts had reached
S40,000,00O in the month after enact
ment of new tariff.
They expected some recession from
this monthly total, but said there was
little or no indication of the slump in
imports which usually has occurred
during the first six months or year
after imposition OF protective rates.
Two explanations were offered. One
is the abnormal foreign exchange and
world economic condition, and the
other the recovery of the country be-
fore passage of the Fordney-M Cum
Der act from the after-the-war indus
trial depression and attendant buyers
strike.
Were there to be any great depres-
sion in import trade it would be mani
Testing itself by this time, according
to these officials. Instead of any such
manifestation, they declare that for
eign goods are reaching the country
In increasing quantities as evidenced
by the congestion in the appraisers
stores at the port of New York.
Customs officers are unable to say
whether new rates affecting certain
lines have had the effect of shutting
out such goods from particular foreign
countries as was predicted by oppon-
ents of the Fordney-Mc Cumber meas
ure. Information along this line prob
ably will not be available for a month
or more.
Treasury officers view the import
situation with much satisfaction. AS
1t now Is developing the Government
is getting greater revenue even than
was estimated would be yielded and
at the same time the country is alb
sorbing foreign goods in such volume
as in their judgment should assist
foreign nations to liquidate their debt
to the United States.

PopuIace In Terror.

Coquimbo. Chile.-The port Of Co
quimbo was awakened at 1855 Friday
night by violent earth shocks. and in
a few minutes the populace was run
ming about the streets in terror, only
partially clothed and seeking the
nearby hills. The panic was increased
when the electric lights went out in
some parts of the town.
Coincident with the shocks the sky
was illuminated by electric discharges
and fires broke out After the first
shocks the sea receded for consider
able distance and then swept back in
an immense wave extending from Co
quimbo to La Serena, seven miles to
the northeast, flooding the town and
the whole coast line and doing much
damage.
The tidal wave added to the terror
of the people, many of whom cried
out for aid. Again the sea receded
for distance of 300 yards beyond the
low-tide mark; then seemed to gather
force and came back in an immense
wave estimated at SO meters in height,
which completely destroyed the Ba-
quedano quarter. A number of big
lighters were picked up like ships and
carried beyond the railway bridge,
which is five blocks from the low-tide
mark.

face. To eliminate heating it is only
necessary to crowd out the air in the
waste by moisture. Sometimes, how
ever, the amount of rainfall is not
sufficient to keep filled the interstices
of the pile. In such cases heating en-
sues and loss of ammonia takes place.
We have seen badly ''firefanged"
manure in open pits. However, this
was due to neglect on the part of the
owner and might have occurred had
the manure been held under cover.
The chief virtue Of this last form of
storage is that it permits one to regu-
late at will the amount of moisture
that manure contains In either case,
the result will be the same If the
manure is not permitted to dry out.
With the pit and the overhead shell
ter making for the same results the
choice between them lies in other fac
tors, chief of which is the matter OF
handling the manure when 1t is re-
moved. Unless a pit is provided with
an underground cistern into which the
liquids can pass the task of removing
the manure is apt to be anything but
agreeable or easy at certain times. 1t
is easier, also, to load manure into
spreader when 1t does not have to be
elevated from a pit sunk below the sur
face of the earth. However, some pits
are so constructed that the spreader
can be driven into them. Some will
see in the extra equipment necessary
for handling Of liquids an objection to
the pit equipped with cistern. On
the other hand the use Of liquid of
this kind on early crops is sometimes
an advantage. All in all. while the
ends served are the same, the choice
between pit and an overhead shelter,
either in the form of simple roof COW
ering or more elaborate manure
house. is one of personal choice.
