1907 crop output c...... 32,O2O1
an average crop for the Eva planta-
ton, which is surely conservative
estimate, 1t is evident that, in the
four years from 1904 to 1907 inclu-
sive, loss of S5Gi5 tons may be at
tributed to leaf.hopper. In these
years there had been neither change
in seed cane nor general cultivation,
nor manufacture. and the writer
knows of no other reason, than as be-
fore stated, for the gradual fall In
Yields from 1908 to 1906 and the
sharp rise in 1907. As a more mark
ed illustration It may be stated that
one field of 15S acres plant cane,
ground in 1906, and badly damaged
by leaf-hopper, produced 1888 tons
of sugar, and that the same field just
harvested in 1908 and barely touch
ed by this insect, yielded 1850 tons
1t must be understood, however,
| that the leaf-hopper is by no means
exterminated. They are here yet
But It is very plain that the system
attic planting of colonies of parasites
through the fields, has done, and is
doing a world of good. For the cror
of 1908 1241 colonies were set out
or about one colony to three acres
and their contents replenished with
parasites every three weeks. A lar.
ger number has been placed in the
crop of 1909, and the writer expects
o still further lessening of this pest
in future years.
| Before leaving this subject of in
sects 1t is gratifying to be able tt
state that the entomologists have
found, in the Dutch possessions o.
the Pacific, parasite which preyI
upon the well-known "borer" beetle
The borer has not attacked this plan
tation to any extent as yet, and {
number of boys are kept continuousl.
at work gathering and destroying
them whenever found. Nevertheless
their number appears to have grad
ually increased, and the discovery o
q parasite enemy Is a most importan
step towards the removal of wha
otherwise might eventually prove
source of considerable damage to thi
plantation.
Other features of interest in. tn
report were as follows:
Mill-Crop 1907
Grinding was begun on Dec. 18th
1906, and was completed on Septem
Der I'd, 1907. The year of 1907 wa
notable for heavy rains during tn
winter months. which not only great
ly retarded milling operations, an
made harvesting very laborious, bu
which also caused marked reductio
IN the sucrose content OF the cane
A correspondingly larger quantity
cane was therefore required to pre-
duce a given quantity of sugar. ApaI
from these drawbacks the mill wor
was excellent throughout.
Labor
There have been no labor trouble
during the year.
The supply was fair until the la
ter part of April, 1907. After tha
the number of laborers was reduce
to suit the iessened tonnage of car
delivered at the mill, This shortae
heightened the grinding season.

THE FLOUTING OF LAW

The beer-fed, old Milwaukee Sentinel,
after attributing the enactment of Prohi-
bition in Georgia to a desire to keep
liquor away from the negroes, says:
But Prohibition even with the Geor-
gia motive for it is a very doubtful
venture 1t has seldom worked we'll
and often worked badly by promot
ing the intemperance it was meant to
prevent and fostering a disposition to
break and circumvent a law of type
which a large element in every COM
munity always resents as arbitrary
and tyrannical, and that disposition
breeds disrespect for law as such
The spectacle of one law habitually
houted and broken is not an edifying
one.
If one were in search of any place on
the earth where law is habitually "hout-
ed and broken" he needs buy a ticket
only as far as Milwaukee, 1t is per-
fectly safe to say that no Prohibition
town ever gave such an exhibition of
lawbreaking as regulative Milwaukee
furnishes constantly.

A NATIONAL ISSUE .

The State of New Orleans comments
upon Congressman Bede's remarks con-
corning the spread of Prohibition and
questions the probability that it will be-
come national issue or figure in the
Presidential campaign. 1t says:
1t is not necessary to travel about
the country in order to have an idea
of the extent of the Prohibition wave
for its sweep has been clearly outlined
by the press, which has followed care
fully both its growth and results.
There is no reason to believe, how
ever, that the Prohibition question is
going to become national issue or
that it will figure in any way in the
Presidential campaign, for it is not
likely that either the Democratic or
the Republican party will insert a
Prohibition plank in its platform.
Of course, it never occurred to the
State that it would be possible that the
Prohibition question might be very
large national issue without even the
consent or approval of the Republicans
or Democrats. In point of fact, it
looks that the action of both of those
two parties will make the Prohibition
question in 1908 what it always has been,
a national issue-both of those parties
opposing it. The excited state of the
public mind at the present time will not
make it as easy to befool the voters as
it has been in the past

But for the Saloons
[From the Michigan Catholic. !

But for the saloon there would be
little crime in the country. But for
the saloon and its satanic annex, that
harbors young girls and brings them
into the association of brutes in hui
man form, few daughters would go
astray. But for the saloon there
would be a scarcity Of broken up
homes, less hungry and ragged chill
dren, and less grief-stricken wives.
The saloon fills insane asylums, jails,
penitentiaries and reformatories. 1t
quenches the noble manhood of its
slavery, and burns out the true
womanhood of its victims Many a
bright intellect has been scared by its
whitening touch many a suicides

Not Cost but Benefit
From the Minneapolis NeaVs.l

The people do think. 1t is the great
est tribute to the wisdom and the faith
of the men who builded our republic
that the years have demonstrated, and
will, we believe, demonstrate more and
more that it is not only theoretically
beautiful but practically possible as we'll
for the people to safeguard themselves
and their fellows against every form
of vice and corruption. AS they are
learning in the struggle for Prohibition,
so they will learn in every other moral
issue to ask not What will it COST"
but "How much will it help?"

notice the liquor dealers deny the
statements which you published con-
corning their effort to create an appe
tite for liquor among boys, and here

who heard the statements in question.
The affidavit is in words and figures
as follows:
STATE OF OHIO
Ross COUNTY 3D.
Personally appeared before me, Will
bur G. Hyde, notary public in and
for Ross county, one Robert Wallace,
who, being duly sworn according to
law, deposes and says:
That on or about the fourteenth day
of February, in the year 1874, he was
present in Wirthwein's Hall, Colum
bus, Ohio, at a meeting where repre-
senatives of the liquor dealers were
present discussing their plans.
At that meeting one of the repre-
sentatives of the liquor interests spoke
on matters of interest to the saloon
business and its success. He closed
the statement with substantially these
words:
"The success of Our business is de-
pendent largely upon the creation of
appetite for drink Men who drink
liquor, like others, will die, and if
there is no new appetite created our
counters will be empty, as well as Our
Golfers. Our children will go hungry,
or we must change our business to
that of some other more remuneratlve.
'::The open field for the creation of
appetite is among the boys. After men
have grown and their habits are formed
they rarely ever change in this regard,
and I make the suggestion, gentlemen,
that nicke1s expended in treats to the
BOYS now will return in dollars to your
tills after the appetite has been
formed"
Affiant further says that he made
record of the statement in his note
book at the time. Further deponent
says not. Signed, R. Fl. WALLACE.
