CROP BULLETIN.

Following is the crop report fur.
nished the STANDARD by the U. S. De.
partment of Agriculture, Seattle sta.
ton, for the week ending April 17th:
The past week was one with cold
nights, with frosts on the 10th and 18th
which were not generally harmful, but
are thought to have killed prune and
cherry blossoms in some localities.
There were showers on several days,
but there was general deficiency in
the usual amount OF rainfall, which,
however, is not harmful at the present
time.
The weather was very favorable for
spring work, such as blowing, harrow.
ing. seeding and planting. II was not
unfavorable for the growth OF grain
and grass, although the cool nights
have made growth somewhat slow.
Winter wheat improves slowly. and it's
present condition is very satisfactory.
Considerable early sown spring wheat
has come up, and only needs some
warm and moist weather to make it
grow rapidly. Spring wheat sowing
is nearly completed, in all except the
late localities. Barley and oat sowing
are also we'll along, except oat sowing
in the low lands of Skagit county,
where it is not half done yet. Farm.
ere are not very far along with potato
planting. Some early potatoes are up,
but are not growing rapidly. Early
gardens are in satisfactory stage OF
progress.

LOCAL OPTION ACT DEFECTIVE

The Kent county local option act.
which was passed by the recent legisla-
ture, was declared by the entire judiciary
OF Delaware to be defective and unconsti-
tutionalo on Monday. This action Of tile
judiciary was in response to request Of
Governor Lea for an opinion as to the
validity of the act.
The action of the judiciary is decisive
victory for the liquor sellers of Kent
county, who fought the measure tooth
and nail while it was before the Iegisla-
ture. When the measure finally passed
many lawyers expressed the opinion that
it was as worthless as waste paper because
of its manifest defects, and the temper
ance people have not scrupuled to charge
that its defects were made deliberately at
the instance of the liquor sellers-lobby,
and that when the bill passed many Of
the men who voted for it knew very well
that it would never become operative.
The whole judiciary Of the state at
tended the meeting in the judges parlor
at the State House, of Dover, and very
short discussion revealed the fact that
everyone of the judges regarded the law
as defective.

THE BILL UNCONSTITUTIONAL

Doubt having been raised as to
the constitutionality of the bill to
provide for an election in Kent
County, to decide the question of
License" or "NO-License, "
Governor Lee exercised the priv
ilege of inviting the Judiciary of
the State to pass upon the ques-
ton before he had signed the bill,
rather than to have the matter
remain uncertain. The Judges
were unanimously of the opinion
that in at least two points, the
law was in conflict with the Con-
stitutionand would, therefore, be
null and void. The first was the
provision that the election be
held by different officers and
at different places from the gen
eral election, thus violating the
constitutional requirement that it
be held at the "next general elec-
tion." The second was in refer
ence to the majority required to
decide in favor of "no- license"
These provisions were both
put into the bill after it had
passed the House, and we're the
result of the liquor interests
lobbying in the Senate. The
changes were made with the hope
of killing or emascilating the
measure, and have proved sue
cessful. The people of Kent will
have to wait two years longer for
the opportunity to express their
sentiments on the licensing of the
sale of intoxicating liquors. In
the meantime the temperance ele-
ment will continue their campaign
and hope to be able in the next
Legislature to secure law for
the submission of the question to
the voters in all the districts.
