WASHINGTON, Jan s. Nearly half the exports of corn from tn 2 United States in 1921-or 5S.5S2,S06 Ibusheis-went to Canada, according to the U. s. Department of Agrieul- ture.. Much of this corn, however eventually went to Europe, for Can adian statistics showed that only 12.000000 bushels were imported from this country for home consump- tion.
 Exports of corn during each of the first three months of 1922 were larger than during any month of 1921.

 Corn exports for the first eight months of this year exceeded the exports for the entire year of 1921 by 2,48S,743 bushels. according to the Department. Total corn exports for 1921 were 128,974,5O5 bushels.

r arewell Champagne l French Manufacturers
 Adopt New Program.

PARIS, Jan. S.-As a result of An, HIean prohibition and hish im- pert end luxury taxes in France and ether countries, grape growers in Northern France have decided not to make any champagne this year and perhaps never again.
 Champagne is white wine arfi- deiaily sa sed. which hae andersaue 2 prior fermentation slightly direr- ent from that of ordinary fines
 ''The tax is on the hzz -not on the wine, explained Count Bertrand de Nun, President of the Champagne Syndicate
 ''Beeause the cork pops and the wine effoIvesees, champagne. alone of wines. is subject to luxury tax in France. This is proved by thc fact that when champagne grapes arc made into ordinary white wines they pay no tax.
 Champagne of the year 1922 never will be seen on future wine lists. The reason for this is not the quality of the wine, for the vintage of this year has been one of the best of the century, but because there is a surplus of champagne caused by the dry laws in America and elsewhere ,and because of the high prices of champagnes in Eur ope caused by taxes and import duties"
