That the whole theory Of penal
codes is practically unsound and op-
posed to the modern conceptions of
the relation Of the state to crime, is
the contention of Eugene Smith Of the
New York bar, writing in the May
number Of Case and Comment, the
lawyers magazine. illustrating the alb.
surdity and disparity between penalty
for crimes in different states, Mr.
Smith says: THE average sentence
for perjury in Florida is ten years, in
Maine one year; for larceny, in Della.
ware ten years. in the District of Co.
lumbia ten months the penalty for ar
son in Pennsylvania is twice that OF
burglary, but in Connecticut the guilt
Of burglary is twice that Of arson; the
guilt Of counterfeiting in Ohio is twice
that Of perjury. but in Rhode Island
the guilt Of perjury is twice that OF
couDterfeiting.

RAISE LARGEST WHEAT cRoP
North Platte station Secured 81
Bushels Per Acre IN 1908
Approved Methods Used.

Probably the largest crop OF
wheat ever raised On western Nebras-
ka was harvested at the North
Platte substation IN 1908. THE yield.
was 50 bushels per acre. This was
grown upon land which had been
summer fallowed during the proceed.
Ing summer. and careful tillbgo given
IN order 70 store up as much mois-
ture as possible according to the most
approved methods Of dry farming. At
the time Of seeding this wheat IN the
autumn of 1907. the soil was thor
oughly saturated with water to a
depth Of Elk feet, and contained 1919
per cent. OF moisture by actual test.
During the winter. the moisture con
tent decreased until It stood at 10
per cent. In April. 1908. This do
e continued until harvest. not
withstanding the fact that ~ inches
Of moisture fell during that time. It
Is probable that there was so~le run
OF and also a small amount Of
evaporation. but the loss from these
factors vas small The greater part
Of this water was used In producing
this crop, so It will be seen that in
raising this 81 bushels OF wheat not
only vas the 10 inches Of moisture
which fell during the growing season
all used, but in addition to this. mois-
ture which would amount Of six or
seven inches Of precipitation which
had been previously worked into the
soil. After a heavy grain crop like
this, with its exhausting drain upon
the moisture content Of the soil,
corn or some other cultivated crop
should be planted. because the sur.
face cultivation given such a crop
tends to increase and preserve the
moisture content during at least a
part Of the year
These results, coming as they do
from accurate sources, seem to sub
stantiate the claims made by the
most enthusiastic advocates Of dry
farming in the semi-arid belt. The
North Platte s%ubstation is so located
that II receives fully as much mois-
ture as any locality in the recog-
niZed dry farming belt. where the
normal rainfall amounts to only 70
to IA inches instead Of the almost l9
inches at North Platte. 1t is reason
able to suppose that this same meth
cd Of procedure would bring CORE
spending results, the only difference
being that summer tillage would be
necessary every alternate year in
stead Of every third or fourth rear.
The fact is established beyond doubt
that this dry farming method will
and does store up moisture in the
soil during seasons Of excessive rain
fall. or during seasons of no cropping
to be used the following season when
the natural supply may be deficient.
