SMOKE BARRAGE WILL SAVE
COFFEE OUTPUT THIS YEAR
By Lawrence S. Hass
(United Pnu SUA CorrMpoadtnL
RIO DE JANEIRO, Aug. 12. The
"alerte" and "all clear" system of
warning of air raids, which was
used in Paris during the war has
been adopted by the coffee planters
of southern Brazil in unique meas
ures which have been ordered to
combat frost. A smoke barrage Is
to be adopted Instead of the shrap
nel which was so effectively used
to "get" enemy air raiders, and the
agricultural officials of this coun
try believe that compliance with the
new regulations will provide against
a repetition of the damage of last
year's frost, which cost so many
millions of dollars to planters and
also to consumers.
During the winter of 1918 an
extraordinary cold wave, beyond the
memory of the "oldest Inhabitants,"
swept over southern Brazil, and It
was during this spell that the first
snow in more than 80 years fell In
Buenos Aires. The frost found the
planters absolutely defenseless, and
when normal weather returned it
was found that millions of coffee
trees were killed and a large per
centage of th6 ' others injured so
badly that the crops for the next
three years will be cut down by
about one-half. Instead of a pro
duction of 16,000,000 bags a year,
seven or eight millions is all that
can be hoped for annually : until
1921.

WASHINGTON, D. C, Aug. 12,
Wholesale food dealers are begin

prices of vegetables, dressed meats

showed today. With a campaign to
reduce the high coat of living in
full swing, comparisons of quota
tions of July 28, with those of Au

which comenced after the .attack on
unjustified prices began.
Potatoes have been cut from 5
cents to 83.40 a barrel since July
28, acordlng tq quotations which the
bureau of markets has collected.
Slashes in prices of dressed meats
range up to 5 ce;its for pork loins
and cutting has also been extended
to beef. Big crops are noticable in
quotations for Boston, New York,
Philadelphia and Chicago.
A few price increases are shown
for grades of meat, but figures indi

ARBITRATION BOARD
Lovcn & Chinlund Ordered to Make
. Peace with Union, but Are Re
quired to Pny 'Xo Fine.
'.rerenccs existing between the
.nd Clerks' union and the Loven
' Chinlund store were satisfactor
ily' arranged late yesterday after
noon, when an arbitration commit
tee, h:c'.cd by Fred N. Wallace,
Ordered that the merchants should
sign a contract with the union and
refused the union's demand for a
heavy fine against the business firm.
In its report, the committee rec
ommended that steps be taken at
onre to require the merchants of
Bend to open their plales of busi
ness at S o'clock in the morning,
closing at 6 o'clock in the evening.
This frost bad the effect of about
tripling the local price of coffee.
The new plan which has been
evolved - for getting the best of
"Jack Frost" ia being put into ef
fect by the municipality of Itajahy.
a city in the state of Santa Catha-
rina. in the heart of the southern
Brazil coffee country. ;
The regulations are comnulsorr.
being Issued by the agricultural au
thorities. . Violation , by plantom
under tho Jurisdiction of the dis
trict lays them subject to heavy
fines. ' , .
The project calls for the prepara
tion of fuel for bonfires north, east
and west of the coffee groves at
distances of thirty to forty meters
apart. This preparation must be
made early in the cool season and
continued for several months. Each
planter must collect sufficient wood
and brush to keep fires burning
three nights in Succession,' and In
case the fuel reserve become,, fn
any way depleted must maintain an
adequate supply. When the fore
casters see a frost a signal to the
planters to light their fires Imme
diately will be given by means of
the firing of bombs.
The idea Is to create as much
smoke as possible, and hav and
green leaves are o bo thrown nn
the fires. When the danger of
irost is passed the nlamor. Win
again be notified by bombs in"..
tlngulsh , their fires. , . , . i.
