COME light on the tariff controversy which
- will no doubt find a prominent place in the
coming political campaign is to be found in the
cotton manufacturing business. In former
years the greater part of this industry was
located in New England and tariff on cotton
goods was primarily New England problem.
The situation has changed now, however, and
the greater part Of the present spinning activity
is located in the cotton growing Stases The
tariff on cotton goods, therefore, shifts from
New England problem to a problem of the
Southern States in the cotton belt.
For instance, in June there were 20500O 900
spindles in operation, IL, 400 900 in the cotton
States, 4,400, 900 in the New England States and
10000 in all other States
In actual spinning hours, the difference in
favor of the Southern States was even greater.
Altogether the spindle hours totaled 4,250,-
OOO, 600, of which 3,465, 100000 were in the
Gotten States and only 67l 900 In New
England
South Carolina led by far with North Carolina
second, Georgia third Alabama fourth and
Massachusetts, fifth. After them came Ten
nessee and Virginia before the next New
England State, which was New Hampshire.

Neqg Wheat Disease

THE battle against plant disease and insect
pests seems to be succession Of never
ending enemies. No sooner is one conquered
and placed under control than a new one
crops up.
From Australia has come new disease of
wheat, which so far has been kept fairly well
in bounds In the infected areas in this country,
but which nevertheless is potentially highly
dangerous If 1t ever reaches the semi-arid areas
of the Northwest.
The disease Is known as flag smut and at
tacks the stem and leaves of the wheat. 1t
saps the strength of the plant and prevents
the heads from developing.
Several methods of treatment have been de-
vised among them a treating of the seeds prior
to planting This method, however, Is not sue
cessful when the disease is In the soil itself.
Federal experimsnters are testing out more
than $50 varieties of wheat in the Kansas hard
wheat area in an endeavor to discover what
particular varieties resistant to the flag
smut.

The purpose OF the carQDOaro SCRIP
was to relieve a cash shortage occasioned py
depression and the closing of banks in that
community.
1t is safe to assume that the great majority
of those who read the press reports merely
smiled at the thought Of resort TO such mover
expedient and dismissed the subject The pos
sibility that their own communities might find
themselves in a similar predicament probably
seemed too remote to be worthy of serious con-
sideration. It is to be hoped that this may
prove 10 be so. Nevertheless, one does not have
to turn the pages of history back FAR TO dis
cover that during times Of stringency an aston
ishing number Of substitutes have been drafted
in America and elsewhere to do some pinch
hitting" for money. Some Of these have failed
ingloriously, now and again one has mace Dig
hit but, after all is said and done, calling upon
them to pinch-hit for real money Is great
deal like sending some one up TO the plate 70

AS recently as the World War there were
great many substitutes playing pinch-hitting
roles for small change. Prominent among these
were sorae of the baSer metals that were gilded

Germany and Austria employed printed wood
and compressed pulp. Local post ofhces in
various European countries issued shoe nails.
Even zinc washers and hnoleum disks had
some trading value, though their actual worth
was next to nothing.
Going back q bit farther during our Civil
War the topsy-turvy conditions then existing
were responsible for what was known as "neces-
sity money" This included printed cardboard,
metal cards the size Of a cent and encased
postage stamps
The encased postage stamp deserves an out
standing place as a pinch-hitter. Issued IN
denominations Of l, g. S, 10, IL, "a, 80 and 80
cents, the stamps began early in the Civil war
crisis to bat successfully for small change. Un-
fortunately however, they soon developed a
very serious weakness. They could not stand
the wear and tear incident to circulation. Be

time when Uncle Sam forbade their use as

An interesting thing about these stamps was
that they served not only as small change but
as advertisements as we'll The backs OF the

Obviously getting seat in q movie would

he would propose to close down the
board on June 80 and let the Agriculture
Department liquidate its affairs.
Plea for Additional Cash.
Buchanan explained the board this
year would spend 81, ,483, 900, or S100, 900
less than in the next year If his amend
ment were accepted. The additional
money is necessary if the board ex-
poets to look after its co-operatives,
Buchanan said
Il don't think even my amendment
will give the board enough to operate
on entirely satisfactorily. but do think
it would let it look after the S400 00o.-

Buchanan said.
Meanwhile, plans were made for the
Senate Agriculture Committee to con-
fer soon with representatives of agri-
cultural organizations and Govern
ment agencies to formulate a program
for agricultural relief.
Object of Conference.
Chairman McNary said today the
conference would be held to see if all

Fast Fenlon Grinding Cridder
Upright Running Colonial Back Topples Tacklers With
Remarkable Ease and Effectiveness.
BY TOM DOERER.

FORGE WASHING TON
= University is going to need
~ all Of the staccato stabs at
the William and Mary
line 1t can muster in the combat
at Griffith Stadium tomorrow
night.
From what can learn, Coaches Bill
Fetzer and John Kellison have perfect
ed q splendid pass defense and have a
pair of sprightly ends who have the
ening fiurTies around the TANKS this
season.
However, Jim Pixlee's Colonials are
well fortified with knotty young gentle
men who can rap their way through
patch Of daylight in the best of lines.
Mig McCarver, Johnny Baker, Johnny
Fenlon and OTIS Kriemelmeyer have
shown more than average ability to
smash their way on to yards and glory
In previous games.
And smacking headl0ng into a
barricade of husky opponents with
the intention of pounding out yard
or two for first down is In my eSti-
nation one of the most dependable
tests Of the ability Of . good back.
It takes leg drive and steam to slip
by an end for q sprint; it takes punch
and power to smack through a gap off
tackle, and 1t takes f1nesse and steady
nerve to float the leather pineapple
downfield into a receivers arms. But
it takes all of this and that extra
something" to be able to pound off CEN
ter through a mass Of opponents knot
ted at the spot to prevent it.
My nomination for crack back
is either Johnny Fe1lon or Krien1el-
meyer. Both can short j1b as UeH as
any one I haze seen trying to bull
his ,Ody through the side OF q noun
tain.
Fenlon, for instance, charges through
for a needed first down in an almost
upright position, a little unorthodox,
but certainly more than ordinarily. eff
fective, as the manner in which his
tacklers 60 down and out shows.
Fenlon, they tell me, gets his power
from the bottom Of his feet. When
he goes whirling through gap at CEN
ter he drives upward at his opposition,
and not headlong as most ball carriers
do. There is a 90-degree angle to
Johnny's fling at his tacklers. When
he hits his men they go down as If
they were walloped with right to the
chin.
George CLANCY, when king of the
knockout men in the ring, once told
me that the punch with which he
knocked his men kicking came from
the sole of his left foot.
When clip q man with q short
right I can feel the power coming up
from my feet" said George. II no.
ticed that when 7 hit them, and they
did not stay down, that the punch had
not felt as II 1t was coming from the
ball of my left foot"
CLANCY, apparently, was using his
left foot, slightly bent, for his weight
to rest on the center of the forward
portion Of his foot, as q leverage.
This poised him to throw all his
weight into the blow. He was not
of balance.
Fenlon, to me. seems to be doing the
same thing IN carrying the ball for
punch journeys. He whirls, balances
his weight on the forward part Of his
feet and then throws his weight up

nNE Of the plays with which
~ Southern California Knocked
Tulane out last year was It's
great reverse to outside tackle.
Dalrymple, Tulane's great right
end, whose ability to diagnose plays
was of much assistance to him,
spoiled this offensive for Southern
California early in the game. But
in the third period the Trojans
threw it right back at him.
Two off-stackle plays were used
as a set-up. They gained a total Of
eight yards. Southern California
now had the ball on Tulane's 81
yard line with two yards to 60 for
first down.
