EXPORTS IN DECEMBER TAKE
JUMP, OUTSTRIPPING ANY
MONTH SINCE JAN. 1921.

The United States finished the cal
endar year of 1923 with a favorable
foreign trade balance of $375, 9489l7,
it is shown in Department OF Com
merce figures for the Il months ended
December 81.
Exports during December took big
lump. amounting to $425,O0OOOO and
outstripping any month since -. anuary'
1921. Imports for the month were
$285 100000, leaving a commodity bal
ance in favor OF this country tor the
81 days of $4,000, 600.
Figures for the Year.
For the calendar year the figures
showed the total exports OF $4 lo4 85l'-
1872, compared with imports OF $685.
1922
The imports of gold amounting to
| $50, 641 .226 during December, also were
larger than the average OF recent
months and compared with $26,439,677
in the same month OF 1922 Imports OF
silver for the month were, S8,l72,3Ol,
offset by exports OF $9,25l,083. Amerl-
can gold exports for December were
only $7l1,529. -,
For the calendar year of 1928 gold
imports were $322,715,S12, against
| $275.169785 in 1922 and $69l ,248,297
in 1921 Exports OF gold for 1928
amounted to $28,643,417. while such
exports in 1922 we're $36,874,894 and
in 1921 $23,891,377. Total silver i'm
ports for the year were $74,453, $50
while exports were $72, 468,789.
The figures as given are preliminary
and subject to correction when all OF
the port receipts are audited
Defenders Record
The export total for the month OF
| December of $425 100000 was $4,000,
| 900 in excess of any other month OF the
year and nearly $l00000000 in excess
of the average monthly exports OF
| 1922.
Imports for December were consid-
erablv smaller than those registered
during early months of 1928, but were
larger than those of average months
of 1922 and 1921 In November, 1928,
imports were valued at $29l,457 600.
The effect OF the reduction in month
| " import totals and the expansion OF
monthly export totals was to give a
sharp turn to the balance Of trade,
which, from being against the United
States on the March, April and May
figures to the extent Of several millions
of dollars turned in favor of the United
| States
One reason for the heavy figures of
| December and November exports. Off
cials said, was the high price of cotton,
which commodity bulks very largely in
the export trade during fall and winter
months

PLAINS SCHOOL BOYS
EARN FARM PROFITS
EACH STUDENT GIVEN VOCA-
TIONAL INSTRUCTION CAR
RIES ON PROJECT.

PLAINS, Ga.-The results of teach
ing vocational agriculture to the boys
in the Plains high school, in Sumter
county, the past year have been a
great benefit to them not only in an
educational way, but in a financial way
as well.
The general and technical instruc-
ton received in the class room and
laboratory at the school is put into
practice back at home, which is the
best OF all LABORATORIES. Each boy
enrolled in the farm crops and animal
husbandry classes is required to carry
on a home project under the direct
supervision of his teacher as part OF
his school work and at the completion
Of the project he is given due credit
on the school records according to
the merit of the work.
The boys who carried on home pro-
iects last year realized a total profit of
Sl,387.61. The cotton and corn pro-
iects consisted OF 35E acres and the
poultry projects consisted of $50 birds.
A total of 5000 hours were spent on
the projects. The cost of materials,
labor. etc. amounted to 81 ,44091. The
income value of all products totalled
$4,000.
In nearly every case the boys pro-
duced more cotton and corn per acre
than the average farmer in Sumter
under the same conditions. Two OF
the boys are now supplying eggs from
their pure bred hens to the commercial
hatchery in Americas.
One of the most outstanding feat
ures OF the vocational work last year
was the introduction OF several thou

JAPS ARE DESERVING

HALF MILLION RICH ACRES MAY

More than $4,000 Japanese farmers

decision unfolding the anti-alien land
laws passed by the state legislature.
White farmers must be obtained inn

Farmers who own large tracts OF
productive land in the state are tao
ing difficult future Either they
must obtain white tenants to till the
land or sell 1t in small parcel to tar

The latter course will be the most
favorable if it is possible, according
to agricultural experts. A farmer
who tills 40 acres of land can RAISE
crops with more profit than farmer
who owns several thousand acres and
leases parts of his farm to his employ

Already the California landowners

IS LOOKING INTO ODD
LOT COTTON EXCHANGES
Inquiry Into Charges of Fake Trans
actions. Millions Lost by Trades.

NEW K-Attorney- General
Sherman announced yesterday that an
investigation of the various odd lot
cotton exchanges has been undertaken
because of the large number Of COM
plants from traders in the south. Mr..
Chambers says he is informed that
millions OF dollars have been lost to
spectators through fictitious trades,
and that the situation has reached a
point where a sweeping investigation
is justified.
Suspicious were first aroused by dis
closures in the bankruptcy proceedings

while cotton to the value of millions

PERU IS SOURCE
OF COCAINE DRUG
BIG ZAP PLANTAT o N S IN
TROPICAL LANDS FURNISH
THE CRUDE ARTICLE

LIMA, Peru-Protected from the
prying eyes OF the civilized world by
the high ranges OF the Andes noun
tains barefooted Japanese coolies are
busting about like a horde OF small
brown ants on an enormous japanese
plantation on the upper head waters
OF the Amazon river, busily cultlvat-
inc the cocaine whereWith Germany
is supplying the worlds drug victims,
despite the efforts OF the league OF ma
tons to halt the vicious traffic
The league OF nations recently
traced the drug traffic OF American
and European dives to Germany,
where it was found the cocaine was
being refined and shipped to all the
markets of the world Bat Germany
is only the rehner and distributor.
Carried Above Trails
The Chicago Tribune foreign service
has traced the traffic to its real source,
which is a Japanese plantation IN the
tropical highlands OF Peru back be-
hind the mountains in district where
communication is so difficult that there
are few people in Lima who know
the soil OF their country IS supplying
the worlds cocaine. Fearful lest their
secret be discovered, the japanese
shun all the usual lines OF commumca-
ton and carry their unholy cargo
along trails cut through the tropical
forests, boat them many miles down
the NaranOn river and then overland
on the backs OF llamas and pack don
KEYS to the tiny port OF kten, whence
small Japanese steamers carry them TO
Germany for refinement. 1t is long
and tedious journey, but once arrlv-
ed ia Ften there is little probability OF
the outside world ever learning what
was shipped.
The importance OF the traffic IS evi-
dent from the fact that shipments OF
crude cocaine often are valued at $40
600 or $4,000. Occasionally some IS
shipped to Japan for refinement but
the bulk goes to Germany. 1t IS I'M
possible for Lima to learn the value
OF the annual exports, although they
are known to be large and regular.
Owned by Toxic Firm.
The plantation is owned by the Ho-
shi Pharmaceutical company, OF O.
kio. capitalized at S5,000,000, and main
tains on office in New York under the
name of an American agent. The Ho-
shi company's advertisements feature
alkaloids. specifying morphine, heron,
atrophene and cocaine. They had a
big exhibit Of Peruvian cocaine at the
Latin-American exhibition in Toxic IN
1920.
The cocaine produced by the Japan.
csc in Peru is extracted from the Leaf
OF the coca tree, which thrives in the
hot, damp climate of the Peruvian IN
terror. This leaf contains about l per
cent alkaloid and cocaine, and supplies
several other drugs as by-products
when the cocaine is extracted.
The Hoshi company originally tired
to get a government concession. but
the news leaked out and the news
papers started a vigorous protest, not
because they opposed the cultivation
of coca plants, but because they feared
the influx OF Japanese coolies. When
the Hoshi company succeeded IN buy
ing the land it brought coolies INTO
Peru from Japanese steamers anchor
ed in little known ports IN the north
so their arrival would not arouse sus-
picion.
