Prison Warden's Novel Experiments

lands owned by the state around the
prison have never been used to any
great extent for farming
Warden Codding began work two
years ago, and the first thing he did
was to give the prisoners half an
hours liberty each day In the prison
yard. The men can do anything they
wish during that half hour They can
talk to each other and and the guard,
play ball, pitch horse shoes. play GRO
quet or dozen other games
The prisoners had been morose and
sullen. and there were % insane
prisoners In the hospital and a half
dozen tuberculosis patients. The plan
was adopted to see II the insanity and
tuberculosis could not be stopped. Not
new patient has developed In IA
months, and there Is not single pris-
oner In the tuberculosis hospital at
this time.
The farm does two things of great
importance" says Warden Codding.
The first is that It gives the men a
new aspect of life as they are about
to leave the prison. The farm work
and half hour recreation period have
reduced the ordinary prison vices 70
per cent. The plan of working the
men on the farm has not been going
long enough to make any figures, but
i believe that there win be a less
percentage Of men returned to prison
for second terms now than under the
old plan Of keeping them confined all
the time"

CANADA'S IMMENSE
WHEAT FIELDS
THE ATTRACTION FOR THREE
TRANScoNTINENTAL RAIL
WAYS.

Last August there visited the Cana
dian west the vice-president of the
largest individual hardware company
in the United States. As his firm have
turnover of millions, and deals ex-
tensively with farm implements, this
man took deep interest In crop con-
ditions in Canada, and on his return
he embodied his findings in an article
for the Hardware Reporter This ar
ticle should be OF special interest to
farmers.
The writer speaks of the Importance
Of the spring wheat crop of Western
Canada. He might also have spoken
of the importance Of the oat crop and
also of the winter wheat crop, as well
as barley. Winter wheat during the
past few years has been a great sue
cess. and experiments have shown
that 1t can be grown with success in
almost any portion Of the three prov
inces Of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and
Alberta. But apart from this, the
spring wheat crop is the one generally
grown. and all who know anything Of
grain, anyone who has had anything
to do with markets, knows or has
heard of the high character of this
cereal and the splendid yields that are
annually produced. Reproducing from
this article:-
In land of such great sweep, and
of such difference in soil and climate.
there are many resources, but none
are at present Of the same overwhelm-
ing importance as the spring wheat
crop. In the interminable prairie
stretches Of the northwest provinces
it is the one absorbing topic Of inter-
est and OF conversation during its
growing and it's harvesting, for upon
its success or failure hangs the veal
or woe of large part of the Domin-
ian. Its influence extends far down
into the United States, drawing thou
sands of farmers northwards with the
lure Of cheap lands, but likewise be-
yond the great lakes, even to the easy
| going maritime provinces, calling the
| flower Of their young men to its OPP
portunities. Development in these
prairie provinces goes on at high pres
sure for everything hangs on the out
come Of spring wheat. Success has
emboldened the raisers of this one all
important crop. and each year there
is further incursion into those north
ern fields that only short time ago
were regarded as Arctic wastes. The
Canadian Northwest seems to be one

LARGE Sugar Beet Crop.

The sugar beet crop promises to be
large and of good quality. Michigan
now exceeds California as sugar
beet state. There are 16 sugar max
ing establishments in the state and
about 100000 acres planted to beets
this year. which it is expected win re-
turn the farmers about 100000. II
costs about s35 to raise an acre OF the
beets. but the returns are double that
when the crop is good one.
