adjoining orchards to that distance.
This can be done by brushing back
the rubbish with a pronged stick and
lighting the ''windrou," allowing the
fire to sweep toward the orchard. In
this way forest destruction will be
prevented. Select a dry period for
the burning as a sweeping fire thot
will burn the underground close to
the ground is highly desirable.
Special attention should be given
to the cleaning up of all ditch banks,
terrace rows and fence rows in the
orchards. Vegetation along these can
often be burned, and this would de-
stroy many beetles. All pruning u
other rubbish in or near peach or
cbards should be destroyed before
the blooming season.
Experiments conducted to deter
mine the efficiency of burning over
woodlands adjoining peach orchards
show conclusively that many curcu-
hos are destroyed by the burning. In
one case burning reduced the adult
curculios in Information over two hun
bred per cent. The laboratory
strongly recommends this work be
done during the next month or six
weeks.

NEW YORK. May 1S.-The
largest telephone system in the
world. the New York Telephone
Company. will expend $500. 900, 900
for new facilities within the next

BRITISH PROFIT
HEAVILY BY
DRY LAW
West indian Shipment Up to
100000 GaIIons-Less
Drinking at Home.
BY DAVID NJ. CHURCH.
Nv International News Service.

LONDON. May 1S.-Amazng sta
tistics published here show that
British distilleries are profiting
greatly from American prohibition.
Whereas the direct expectation Of
liquors and spirits to the United
States has decreased from 1911 900
proof gallons in 1913 to $4,000
proof gallons in 1922, the indirect
exports have increased nearly 500
per cent In 1913 the export Of
spirits from the British Isles to
the British West Indies and The
Bahamas were $4,000 gallons.
whereas in 1922 the export Of
these products was. $4,000 gallons.
100000 Gallons Shipped.
At the present rate of export It
appears that the United States dur
ing 1928 will import, via the Ba-
hama smuggling route, nearly
/ 400 900 gallons of spirits from the
British Isles. This represents 30
per cent proof liquor, which will
probably be so diluted that it will
be sold for nearly 100000 gallons
by the time your favorite bootleg
ger and his friends have finished
doctoring it.
Under Secretary of Foreign AZ
fairs Mcneil admits that Great
Britain is worried over the liquor
smuggling from its West Indian
possessions, fearful lest this will
bring about diplomatic impa sse
between the United States and
Great Britain.
While the liquor exports to the
,f~ -
they are falling off in other quar-
tiers. The total exports in 1922
were 5.701 900 gallons as compared
with 10,o9O,000 gallons in 1918.
Home Drinking Less.
The consumption of liquor in the
British Isles is rapidly on the de-
cline, statistics show. The CON
sumption per capita during the past
year in England ano Wares was
20.1 gallons of beer as compared
with 23.9 gallons in 1921-thirtv-
six-hundredths of gallon of
spirits as compared with thirty
nine-hundredths in 1921. A slight
increase was shown in the 1er
capital consumption of wines.
In England and Wales the per
ca pita annual expenditure on
liquors is estimated at 50, while
in Scotland it is $175, and in Ire
land it is about $50.
The falling off in the consun1p-
ton of liquors in the British Isl IS
is not necessarily attributable TO
any great wave of temperance re-
form, but instead it may be laid Mt
the door of unemployment and low
er wages. The wages OF $50 Gao
working people during the wear de-
creased approximately $4,000 900
a week and this is undoubtedly one
reason why less money was spent
for drink
The British government profited
handsomely from its taxes upon
the liquor traffic. the amount of
these taxes totaline about $500
00O. 900. Unfortunately for tho
British exchequer the liquors OK
ported to the United States netta1
