THE APPEAL OF TREASURER

The appeal of Treasurer Frank H.
OF America for local contributions to
aid the Norwich Rogue club to stand
ardize its croquet courts should meet
with a hearty response.
These national rogue meetings in
Norwich each year not only attract a
desirab class of visitors but also
give the Rose of New England" ma
tional fame as the rogue center of
America; and there is not the least
doubt that the supporters of this skill
full sport have spent more than $50, 900
here since the old courts were estab-
lished Off lower Broadway three dec
AIDES ago.
The Bulletin understands that the
cost of this improvement of the
grounds will be about $500. which
ought to be readily and promptly con-
tributed cit knows of no way in which
a small sum, of money will advertise

IMPROVED CORN,

Every live farmer experiments more
or less with seedlings. for this is the
intelligent farmers playground and
source of enjoyment, if not of reward.
There is perhaps no plant that re-
spends to experimentation more freely
than corn; and there are more kinds
of best sweet corn than there are
places named Washington in the Unit
ed States: and there is rarely season
that new varieties are not brought out.
A wonderful new corn is announced
from Kansas, which is noted for a low
stalk and a large ear: and this short
corn is spoken of as if it had not been
known in New England for a quarter
of century. 1t is not here regarded
with the same favor that tall growing
corn is. because in the great stalk
growth is obtained abundant feed for
stock.
An Ohio farmer. commenting upon
this Kansas wonder, says:
Low growing corn is not new by
any means. A variety cultivated for
years in states as far north as the
Dakotas has height upon an average
of not more than that of a mans
hips. 1t is not famous for big yields,
running about forty bushels to the
acre. Wherever dairy interests amount
to anything big stalk corn is bound
to be held in the highest regard. For
the plant is the best of all silage
plants. In spite of high praise given
in turn to clovers. alfalfa. meadow
grasses, cowpeas, soy beans, Canada
field peas. sorghum, sunflower, millet,
apple pomace, beet pulp and canning
house refuse, corn still holds the ad-
vantage for the purpose
1t is barely possible that this Kan
sas corn is SO wonderful that it will
be in demand in all parts of the coun-
try, and that all agricultural New Eng
land will yet recognize and praise its
merits
Corn is something that can be ex-
perimented with with more than ordi-
nary results and considerable satisfac-
ton whenever an ambitious planter
feels like it.

ties to make himself seem to be what
he is not. When politeness appears TO

it is the real thing, and it ought to be
very much more common.
The garden always holds surprises
whatever the character of the season.
for there are things which can defy.
drouth as well as frost. have learn
ed to be pleased with the unexpected,
since no garden just meets the ex-
pectations of the gardener. Some
plants find thrift where others starve,
and some do their best with the least
attention. In the mass they do not
differ so much from the mass of other
creatures. Man cannot boss things.
He appears to be more of a witness
than manipulation in many directions.
OF course, he has accomplished won
ders in agriculture. but he has not

Plants tell their tales in dry seasons

THE LIBERTIES OF CHILDREN.

While not a few cities have passed
curfew laws, there are more that have
declined TO. because the public feels
that it is step backward rather than
forward; but there is no concealing the
fact that more stringent police rules
with reference to unattended children
should be established and enforced. 1t
is not to the credit of any CITY to
have girls and boys hardly free from
infancy running about the business
streets and hanging around the show
house doors and getting into every
crowd of excited people at night.
whether the cause is a drunken fight.
or runaway team, or a broken down
auto. They not only get in the way
but get into bad company. and are
taught habits which. If not of them
selves vicious. lead to vice.
1t is pretty generally agreed that
such children should be sent home to
their parents at an early hour of the
evening. and if their parents do not
restrain them they should be called to
police headquarters and be reprimand-
ed and instructed.
The entire moral force of every com
munity should be exercised to promote
the well-being of such children and to
support the police in the necessary
surveillance of little boys and girls.
They cannot be made honest men and
women by letting them do as they
please and permitting them to get a
criminal tendency before they have
come to years of understanding.
There is no point of communal life
at which more can be done for the re-
demption of humanity and the protec-
ton of the community than this. 1t is
the point al which the making of good
citizens should begin. as well as the
reduction of the percentage of crimi-
mails in every community.
Every community to some extent is
responsible for the character of it's
citizenship: and it is communal duty
10 see that the children have the pro-
lection and care which is their birth
ri At; and be so trained that the Grim
mai percentage shall be kept at the
lowest point. 1t is to the credit of no
city to have small children, often
spoken Of as wharf rats" prowling
around at all hours of the night.

The PoclEs.

There is no end of pogies along the
Atlantic coast the present season and
the large schools of this fish which
was supposed to have been pretty
nearly exterminated some years ago,
and which for years has been scarce,
have again started up the seining and
fish-factory industry all along the New
England coast. The Portland Express,
recalling the activity in this line only
twenty years ago. says.
1T was then no uncommon sight
late in the afternoon or early evening
to see fleet of Is or 20 pogy steam
ers single file into Boothbay Harbor,
where was located a factory. 1t was
one of the interesting sights to the
summer vacationistS of those times,
who were stopping at the harbor or
on the nearby islands. 1t must be con-
fessed that with the wind just right
and the pogy factory working full
time Boothbay folks sometimes felt
that as summer tourist advertising
asset it was well to omit mention of
the pogy factory. 1t was a great bus
mess, however and kept a lot of money
in circulation and it is generalIp hoped
that the fish have returned to these
waters for protracted stay.
