SANTOS. Brazil, Mar. 3—The $1,
000,000 which local coffee growers
have spent advertising coffee in the
United States seems to be comin
back into their bank accounts. Ac
cording to figures released by the
American consulate in this city,
green coffee exporters shipped 749.
894,376 pounds of coffee to the Unit
ed States during 1924, worth $139,
007,766. This is a drop under 1923
of less than two per cent in quan
tity, but an advance in value of
nearly 40 per cent.
There has been much criticism in
the United States of the system of
daily control of shipments at the
ports of Santos and Rio de Janeiro,
where the demand is maintained at
a high level throughout the year by
a control over the sale of the crop. ;
It should be noted, however, local j
dealers set forth, that this public j
control over sales is fixed on the,
basis of the average crop. With en- j
tries at 35,000 bags a day into San- |
tos and 12,000 bags a day into Rio j
de Janeiro, the year's arrivals un-1
der the original plan, started by the j
federal government, gave a total of i
14,100,000 bags, calculated on a ba-j
sis of 300 working days a year. This ;
figure is above the average crop for
last ten-year period.
After the July revolution in Sao
Paulo was crushed, the federal gov- i
ermflent ordered the railways to
i
give right-ot-way to coffee shipments, |
and daily arrivals were soon doubl-1
ed.
Dr. W. L. Schurz, American com
mercial attache at Rio de Janeiro,
has been in Sao Paulo endeavoring
to secure a better system of collect
ing crop statistics and storage fig
ures for the trade. It is also under
stood that he intends to tell the Bra
zilian growers and traders that the I
housewives in the United States:
have been known to smash corners |
in food products, and that a ruinous j
coffee strike is a possible event of i
the future.
It is undoubtedly true that large
profits are being secured on coffee
plantations at the present time. The
highest price ever recorded for a
coffee fazenda was paid a short time
ago by an English company organ
ized in Brazil, which paid the equi
valent of $2,500,000 for a farm of 2,
500,000 trees. At present prices the
average crop grown on this farm is
worth about $1,800,000. A resident
population of 3,200 people live on
the farm. Wages are low.
If prices remain high, it is thought
that rapid development in acreage
may occur in Minas Geraes, Sao Pau-1
lo’s neighbor on the north, where
there is a large amount of unset
tled public land suitable for coffee
growing.

British Divine Takes
Fling At Literature
Written Since 1900
MANCHESTER, Eng., Mar. 2.—Al
most all the books worth reading
are books which have not been pub
lished in the twentieth century, in
the opinion of the Rev. Garfield H.
Williams, secretary of the Missionary
Council of the Church Assembly.
Addressing members of the Stud
ent Christian Movement conference
in Manchester recently Dr. Williams
contended that the attitude toward
books as taken today by the model a
student is “positively ridiculous.”
“Unless a book be dated 1924, or pos
sibly 1923,” he said, “the modern
student, one might say, virtually ig
nores it altogether.”
“I sometimes feel,” Dr. Williams
asserted, “that modern youth is real
ly the most conceited thing that has
ever been produced.”

Seal Herds Upset
British Coast Banks
NEVIN, Eng., Mar. 3.—A plague
of seals along the South Carnarvon
shire coast recently put the fisher
men temporarily out of business and
caused the government ministry of
fisheries much annoyance. The seals
ate the fish nearly as fast as the
i fishermen could catch them, for a
lime .and often tore empty nets to
pieces as if they were bent on show
ing their dislike at finding their “din
ner buckets” empty.
On one occasion the seals swarm
j ed into the fishermen’s favorite
I haunts in such numbers that the
i gunboat H. M. S. Doon was dis
I patched to Carnorvon Bay and, with
| the aid of residents along the coast,
j who brought out their hunting pieces,
j 15 seals were killed in one drive, but
j even this did not put an end to the
pest. Another time, Lord Wavertree
I and a party of friends who were play
; ing golf, saw a drove of seals sun
ning themselves on the rocks and,
abandoning golf sticks for rifles,
killed five one day and six the next.
' It has been established that the
seals have a breeding place in caves
near Nevin, and the government is
considering what steps to take to
rid the coast of the nuisance. The
seals of this colony are known as
| the common seal and the gray seal,
which have inhabited various parts
of the British coasts for many gen- j
orations, but not in such numbers,
ordinarily, as to cause such an incon
venience to fishermen. The fur of
these specimens has no regular
value commercially.
