Export of Quail
From Argentina
to Be Restricted
(By Associated Pressl

Buenos Aires, Jan. 17-Exporta-
tion of the carcasses of quail may be
restricted by the minister of agricul-
,ture, to whom recommendation re-
garding tn etraffic have been made.
This action is the result of protests
from American game protective or
ganizations calling attention to the
fact that 10000 of these birds were
received in New York recently, and
protesting against the business. 1t
was declared that continued slaughter
of the birds might cause their ex-
tinction.
The quail abound in the pampas,
where they are hunted and killed with
long whips, the hunters in many cases
riding the birds down with horses.
They are fatter than partridges and
are considered a great delicacy.

THRILLS GALORE WHEN
MISS JAEGER GOES Up
TO CLOUDS IN BALLOON

Claims of local merchants that in
Miss Stella jaeger and Professor
Walter Raub they have booked a ban
ner attraction for the Dollar Days
seem unquestionable. If the press
notices gathered by Miss Jaeger
while carrying out her contracts
from one end of the United States
to another and if items in the same
papers after she had completed con-
tracts in New York, Ohio, Arkansas,
Iowa, Colorado, Montana, California,
Arizona and North Carolina may be
judged, she is an intrepid perform
er, not even outdine by Professor
Raub.
Miss Jaeger has been in the city
during the last few days, and those
about town who have discussed her
work with her, are taken by the
pleasant manner, mild-voiced and re-
tiring disposition of the young lady.
She speaks of triple drop from
giddy heights as mere commonplace,
and says she feels much safer afloat !
than she does in scurrying about |
Lemon street. She seems to think |
that when she has been making par
achute leaps, us many as six from
one ascension, over period of twen-
ty years, as Professor has, that she
will be sufficiently proficient to af-
ford few real thrills.
Miss Jaeger has an interesting
of photographs showing
the crowds attracted to her country
wide exhibitions. The bound volume
will probably be placed on exhibition
IN a store window tomorrow.
Palatka merchants are arranging
'or big business on Friday and Sat
lrday, when the first of the monthly
Banner Bargain Dollar Days will be
Initiated. Miss Jaeger and her COM
,any are advertising these days in
III the surrounding territory. She
equired of all stores financing her
exhibition that they sign a guarantee
o make these days real bargain af-
airs, contending that she had never
disappointed an audience and that
he could only do her part in con-
JUNCTION with fitting preparations {
y the merchants. |
Two local business men have made I
publications. for a balloon ride with l
Iiss Jaeger, but she fears they b
'ould do as prominent movie actor $

ornia. The scenario provided for Q
ne star to be married in Heaven" t

HASTINGS FARM'RS
WILL SAVE A HALF
MILLION DOLLARS
Reduction in Freights,
Fertilizer and
Barrels
LABOR NOT COMPUTED
If Crop Is Normal Big
Pear Promised to
Growers

1t will cost $548,712 less to pro.
duce the 1922 crop of Irish potatoes
in the Hastings section than any
crop during the past three years, ac-
cording to figures compiled by A. W.
Glow, field manager for Nix Produce
company. This amount represents
an actual saving to the potato grow
er.
In the reduction in freight rates
the farmer will this year save 1S
cents per barrel to New York over
the rate of last year. Based on the
average shipments for the years
1919, 1920 and 1921, which was 1929
cars, or 578,4O0 barrels per year, this
represents saving of $1O4,112. On
barrels the cos tbs 25 cents less each
and the saving will total $144,6OO,
and fertilizer this year cost 500 per
ton less than last. This item alone
represents saving of 100000,
making grand total of saving to
the farmer in the production and
marketing of potatoes of $54S,712.
Labor Not Figured In.
Labor this year cost considerable
less, but this is not figured in the
saving above. Other items of ex-
pense entering into the growing and
of potatoes are material
ly reduced and thus it can be seen
that if an average crop of potatoes
is grown and a reasonable price is
received for them the farmers will
make some clear money?
The figures given out by Mr.. Glow
are arrived at after close investiga-
tion and economical figuring and
are considered authentic. 1t simply
means that the Hastings potato
farmer is in the neighborhood of
a half million dollars better off this
year than in any year for three years
past and this, together with the |
present prospect for good prices, is
indeed encouraging.
The item of freight comes out of |
he farmers pocket as we'll as fer
ilizer and barrels. In fact, they are
TENS that the buyers of potatoes
lever consider when they go to pur-
.hase. They base their prices on
Iemand almost entirely. If the de-
nand is brisk they are willing to pay
'ood prices and if not they pay ac-
thus it will be seen that
he reduction in cost of freight, fer
ilizer, labor and barrels is actually
saving to the grower.
According to records of the Flor
la East Coast railroad in 1919 there
'as 3,697 cars, or 739,40O barrels,
hipped from this section. In 1920,
,962 cars, or 592'400 barrels; in I
021, 2O0,160 cars, or 403,2OO bar
els. This does not include probably
1000 barrels shipped by water.
hese figures represent the yields
| flood year, normal year and a ;
ry year, and it is upon them that
le savings for 1922 are based. '
So far this season the farmers {
ave had splendid weather, and if it f
for ninety days longer the t
eld will be normal. 1t is general 6
estimated that $4,000 acres will be c
anted this season. h
