IMMUNITY USED
TO DEFEAT DRY LAW,
CAPITAL POLICE SAY
Treasury Department Says
Unusual Shipments" Re-
ceived by Certain Lega7
tons Lately

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-(By the
Associated Press 1.-THE machinery of
the federal government has been set
in motion to ascertain whether any
foreign embassies and legations here
have brought into the country excess
sive shipments of liquor which later
was diverted to the bootleg trade in
the national capital.
AS a result of recent disclosures
by the Washington police who charg-
ed openly that some foreign ENJOYS
are using their diplomatic immunity
| to supply bootleggers, the treasury
department has sent a memorandum
to the state department which is I'M
derstood to call attention to certain
unusual shipments" of liquor COM
ing to the embassies and legations
| here.
No Formal Protest
While no formal protest concern
ing the shipments was made, high
treasury official said today that sew
eral shipments in recent weeks were
of such magnitude as to attract the
attention of prohibition enforcement
officers. The treasury was repre-
scented as believing that more liquor
was coming in than was reasonably
required" by the staffs of the for
eign representatives here.
Treasury spokesman declined to
express an opinion as to whether
any leaks in embassy and legation
stocks had originated from the
large shipments referred to. Neither
would any official reveal which Of
the diplomatic representatives were
concerned in the memorandum sent
| to the state department.
The treasury appeared to be IN
the dark as to what action. if any,
could be taken. 1t was said that at
any rate all the treasury could do
would be to direct the state depart
ment's attention to the situation.
Can't Seize LiqOurs
There seemed to be no question
that enforcement officers were with
out authority to make seizures on
embassy or legation property, which
technically is foreign territory.
Methods of issuing permits for en-
! try of the diplomatic shipments duty

check excessive receipts. The state
| department has felt as matter of
courtesy, = it was bound to endorse
any application for entry OF ship
ments of liquor or any other commod-
dity made by foreign representatives
and prohibition and customs officials
are required to act on instructions
of the departments here granting
free passage to articles carrying
diplomatic stamps While they are
powerless to stop the entry of the
goods, they have he privilege of ex-
amining the shipments and it is
this way they have been able to
compile records of the amounts of
liquor destined for the diplomats i'll
Washington.
The prohibition bureau can deal
directly with embassies. and lega'
lions, however, by recommending
dismissal of employers involved in
any illicit dealings in liquor, it was
said today by James E. Jones, acting
prohibition commissioner.

In order to be safe, we should
predicate our \production on
basis of two hundred pounds of
lint cotton per acre. During the
decade, 1910-20, we harvested an
average of one hundred and
ninety-one pounds of lint cotton
per acre. I am not advocating
setting our sights too high,
therefore, and am providing
in any event that one-fourth of
the crop grown shall go towards
satisfying the insatiate appetite
of the boil weevil.
Requisite Steps
What must we do in order to
put over our program? Just a
few things, and they are all SIM
pie of conception and execution.
First of all, we must select the
ground to be devoted to our cot.
ton crop with care. Rich low
lands and those that produce
big plants at the expense Of fruit
are to be eschewed. Moderately
" rich, elevated and Well-drained
soils that will mature the crop
early will prove the most de-
sirable to utilize. The land Sc
lected should be cleared of weeds
and trash Immediately. DO not
overlook the terraces or the
fence rows and adjacent wood
lands. 1t would have been bet
ter to have broken the land up
last fall. If this has not been
done, however, plow it deeply,
and do it Immediately. Bury all
trash completely. This may be
accomplished with a disk pillow,
or large turning pillow. In
case the latter implement is
uoSNt oI|oSA q IACdNy CAldlA ~
the coulter and fasten to the
end of the double-tree. Such an
arrangement drags all the trash
into the furrow, enabling it's
complete burial in the soil.
After the land has been
plowed, let it alone for thirty
days. 1t needs to settle down
and gather and store all the
water it can possibly hold.
Thirty days before planting, bed
up the land. If this is done,
the land will warm up sooner.
1t will dry out better, and plant
ing can be done earlier with the
prospect Of obtaining uniform
stand. Every effort should be
made to handle the land so as
to have it ready for planting
just as soon as the temperature
of the ground has reached 60
to 70 degrees F. Earlier plant
ing than this is likely to repre-
sent a waste of energy, for the
seed will rot in a cold, water
logged soil. Occasionally unfa-
vorable seasonal conditions will
cause a good deal of delay in
the planting season. Sometimes
cold weather may even Kill the
young cotton plants out after a
stand has been obtained, We
must be prepared to meet such

supply of cotton in the world at
the present time. It is, of
course, a possibility, though not
q probability that over-produc-
ton will take place in 1928.
Certainly, the cotton farmer has
many. difficult conditions and
handicaps to meet and over
come before this can occur.
Hence, l believe that a reason
able acreage devoted to cotton
in 1928 represents a good invest
ment for our farmers, provided
always, that provision is made
for the cultivation and manage
ment of the crop in thorough
ly up-to-date and efficient man
ner.
think our farmers should
make a definite effort this year,
therefore, to raise between 1,
100000 and $1;5O0,000 bales of
cotton. We can do this, and
continue to lay a desirable de-
gree of emphasis on our pro-
gram OF diversified production.
We can do this without extend
ing the acreage devoted to cot
ton at the present time. The
accomplishment of this end will
result in adding $5O,000,o00 to-
the value of our farm crops this
year, thereby enabling us to gain
the objective of our program.
( My suggestion means that we
must raise a minimum of four
hundred thousand bales more
cotton in 1928 than we did in
1922.
The yield this year was
around one hundred pounds of
lint cotton per acre, taking the
state as a whole. 1t constitutes
the smallest yield in many years
not only from the severe depre-
dations of the boil weev1l, but
the. adverse weather conditions
as well. We thus gathered ap-
proximate1y one hundred pounds
Of lint. cotton per acre from an
area of 4,129,O00 acres, which
we devoted to this crop. This
means that we must increase
the production of lint cotton fiji
ty pounds per acre in 1928 if we
are to attain the objective indi-
Gated above. Does anyone pos
,sessed of a really constructive
mind believe that this cannot
be done in view of what Georgia
has accomplished in the past?

President Of State College of
Agriculture Says More De-
ponds on Crop of 1923
Than Any Other in History
BY DIR. ANDREW Nj. SOULE,
president State College of
Agricultural

TXTHAE should be the policy
w of Georgia farmers to-
ward cotton cultivation
in 1923? This is a question in
which practically every land
owner in Georgia is vitality con-
cerned. Much depends on the
outcome of our cotton crop in
1923-more probably than in
almost any other period of our
previous history. / am one of
those who believe we have
reached the turning point, and
are on the upgrade leading to-
wards prosperity and success.
i believe that 1923 is to be a
good year provided we make the
most of our opportunities and
utilize all the information we
possess to advantage.
L am in favor, therefore, of a
thoroughly constructive policy,
and think our farming pro-
gram should be predicated on a
basis which, under rational con-
ditions, should enable us to add
fifty million dollars to the value
of our farm crops in 1928.
If we raise crops of the agT
gregate minimum value of $780,
100000 this year, Georgia will
again be on. the high-road to a
prosperous era, and much of
the unhappiness and discomfort
now witnessed so generally will
disappear. The achievement of
the end portrayed means that
money will again be in free cir
culation in the fall of 1923, and
it will be so uniformly distribut-
ed as to furnish funds for the
payment of at least a part of
the obligations which have been
accommodating for the past two
or three years, leave something
to be spent for pleasure and
comfort, provide literally for
the maintenance of our public
welfare institutions and place a
desirable balance in the savings
bank for a rainy day. Can we
carry this project into effect?
We certainly can, and L believe
that we are going to do it.
There is much talk of diversity
at the present time, and we have
accomplished much more along
this line than our own people
realize. OF the three dollars
from the value of our farm
crop in 1922, two came from
other sources than cotton. We
must not overlook the fact that
we derived one of these nom
cotton dollars from livestock,
which was not taken into &C.
count by the federal statistical
service when they recently pub
Iished their estimate of the value
Of Georgia farm crops for 1928.
So, our diversification program
at present stands on the basis
OF one dollar cotton values as
compared with two dollars from
non-cotton sources.
Continue to Diversity
Let us continue to diversity.
1t is fundamental to the mainte-
nance of our future success and
prosperity. The record distinct
ly shows there is not an over:
