ENGLAND Has Profitable Acres.

The possibilities of profitable garden
ing in England are exemplfied by an
acre Of land cultivated on the French
system Of intensive culture, which in
the last completed year is said to have
yielded 1925 in gross returns.
This probably constitutes a record
for England the nearest approach
known to the writer being an acre Of
land. the property of a scotsman on
the Great Western line between Lon
don and Oxford, which has yielded in
one year flower seeds to the value Of
f27O.
In Samoa EGO to ESQ is the average
yield an acre of land planted in cocoa /;
in Georgia ESQ worth of eggplants have
been picked from single acre, and
pineapple farms in the West Indies
often pay as much as f1O0 an acre.
Such yields as these, however, are
trivial compared with that Of an acre
of vineyard in the Moselle wine-grow
ing distict which was sold few years
ago for nearly G24,0OO, and which pro-
duces crop worth 1880; or with
that acre of land in Thibet on which
grows the sacred tree Of a thousand
images" the leaves Of which yield an
annual revenue exceeding $4,000 -

Medieval Medical Practices of WOm-
an Get Her Into Trouble.
For practicing medieval medicine and
obtaining money from him for failing
to cast out devils from his sick wife,
Enoch Muller has obtained a warrant
for the arrest Of Mrs. George Wunder-
Itch, says the st. Louis Dispatch The
warrant specifies that Mrs Wunderlich
practiced medicine without a license
and obtained $110 under false pre-
lenses.
Muller, who is now angry at what
he says was an imposition upon man
who was desperate at the serious i'll
ness of his wife, says he will have his
money back or prosecute Mrs. Wunder-
Itch.
II don't know how could have been
such fool as to have swallowed all
the stuff she told me or been fooled by
her monkey-shines. But was like the
man whose life was at the bottom of a
well and was doing everything l could
to save her." he said
'My wife is still suffering, and after

Finally my sister, Mrs. Elizabeth Ber-
mel, said Mrs. Wunderlich knew Of
some herb which might cure her. We
sent for Mrs. Wunderlich. She came
to see my wife and said there was moth

had been hoodooed by three women and
that she would cast the hoodoo out in
nine days.

Change will come slowly under our
American system of dividing States,
cities and towns and having no general
police, but it is idle to suppose that a
country with no rural police. and only
a common courtesy uniting its city po-
lice, can keep human life as safe or
track murderers as surely as the en-
veloping dragnet an English or Euro
pean police can spread over an entire
country. Our States need an efficient
rural police, in constant service. patrol
ing the roads. Closer relations between
the police and our cities must come If
crime Is to be successfully suppressed.

The American Bar Association, in
drafting it's code of ethics at Seattle
recently, formulated very clearly rules
Of conduct which have long seemed i'm
perative to the layman as we'll as to
the leaders Of the bar. The movement
to correct certain abuses which have
too often hampered or delayed the
course of justice is timely, and an eva
sive attitude would have done much
to lessen the esteem in which the I'M
offending members Of the profession
are held. The new canons do not strike
merely at the Shysters and the trick
sters, whose influence, however nox-
ious, has never been a serious menace
to the prestige of the bar, but deals
in comprehensive way with those vio
latiOns of the spirit of justice which
are masked behind legal usage. Few
members Of the community are called
upon to occupy positions Of such trust
as the lawyer, and it Is particularly
needful that the younger members Of
the profession should be made to ap-
precfate their responsibility in this re-
gard. One of the articles in the code
sci to expose any case Of corrupt, dis
honest conduct in their own profession
which comes to their notice. Lawyers
in the past, while ready to condemn in
private corrupt practices, have rarely
shown any eagerness to prefer such
charges or to assist in conducting a
prosecution. Another frequent abuse
Of justice which is sharply criticised
is the practice of bringing actions ut
law which have no validity in fact, but
or injure the opposite party. In sum-
ming up the duty of the lawyer toward
his client and the community the code
covers most Of the points comprehen-
sively when it says that he should
strive to make his conduct square with
the moral as we'll as the statute law:
mo client, corporate Or individual,
however powerful nor any cause, civil
or political, however important is enti-
tied to receive, nor should any lawyer

disloyalty to the law, whose ministers
we are, or disrespect Of the judicial
Office, which we are bound to uphold, or
corruption of any person or persons ex-
ercising public office or private trust,
or deception or betrayal Of the public"
One Of the most important actions of
the convention was the passage of
resolution calling upon Congress and the
various States to formulate legislation
restricting appeals in both civil and
criminal actions to instances where
actual prejudice is shown. The right
of appeal has been used SO extensively
of recent years, particularly by large
corporations, to defeat the ends of JUS
tice, and cases have been tried so
often upon minute technicalities rath-
er than upon their merits that the pub
lie patience has become exhausted. The
outcome Of the associations labors will
certainly be watched with the liveliest
interest by the whole people.

Foes of the Army Worm.
Now, anybody who goes about in
field that Is being devastated by these
worms will notice that many, and even
majority of them have small white
spots On their bodies. These are the
eggs of little fly that looks somewhat
like housefly, and which Is known
to science as Winthemia. When they
are Matched the grubs that emerge from
them will bore through the skins OF
the caterpillars and feed on their VI
tails. This will not prevent the worms
from doing damage, but 1t will render
them incapable Of Transforming into
the adult form-of becoming moths, in
other words. Only those individuals
which escape attack by the parasite
will survive to perpetuate their species
the result being that the pest is so
nearly exterminated that several years
usually elapse before it again occurs in
sufficient numbers to make serious
trouble.
After the caterpillars have disap-
peared from an infested field, one who
visits it will find there great numbers
of the little flies, buzzing and droning
like a swarm Of bees Their presence
affords the best possible guarantee that
there will be no renewal Of the plague
during the following season. What
happens under such conditions is made
manifest If one takes the trouble to
collect a quantity Of the worms and
put them into box covered with wire
net 1t will be found that many flies
are reared, but almost no millers.
This is very new country, especial
~ in the agricultural sense, and ma
lures balance has been thrown tenn
porarily out of gear, SO to speak, by
mans interference.
Like a Fire Department..
In the Year Book Of the Department
of Agriculture will be found an ex-
tended discussion Of this interesting
subject, from the pen of one of the ex-
perts of the Bureau of Insects, Mr.. E.
NJ. Webster, to whom the writer is in
debted for his material. He compares
the working of parasitism in the in
sect kingdom to that of a well-organ-
lied fire department in a large city.
There always have been, he says, and
probably always will be, occasional dis
astrous CONGREGATIONS in such cities,
but this fact does not in the least de-
tract from the value of fire service
in extinguishing thousands Of COM
fires, and thus continuously
affording protection to life and prop
erty.
Only when a great blaze occurs does
the public have an opportunity to real
ize the usefulness of the firemen. It
knows little or nothing of the thou |
sands Of cases where fires are prevent
ed or subdued with slight losses The
same is true in the case of friendly
insects. Their work in keeping down |
the numbers Of dangerous bugs and in |
destructive outbreaks of |
crop pests is virtually unknown and |
by the farmers, though
it goes on everywhere and all the time, |
saving in the aggregate hundreds Of !
millions Of dollars every year.-St. |
