A scientific study of the fungous dis
eases which attack potatoes tends to
greatly strengthen the practice OF i'm
porting seed from sections considerably
north of the point where the planting
is to be done. In the case of securing
new seed corn experience has proved
it generally unwise to ship it from
any distance either north or south. but
that it can safely be brought from
points east or west for distance OF
from 200 to 300 miles.

II the California Fruit Growers ex.
change has pretty effective monopoly
in the handling and marketing of cit
rus fruits, as contended by some mar
ket papers that are decidedly partial
to jobbers and middle men as a class.
1t is situation that these latter peo-
pie are chiefly and directly responsible
for. Time was, and that but few
years ago, when. to use an agricultural
figure. the jobbers and commission
men as well as the railroads played
horse with the orange and lemon
growers of California 1t took the lat
ter quite awhile to get wise to what
allied them; then they got tired. later
fighting mad. organized. and the Fruit
Growers exchange is the result The
same provocation and much the same
results in cooperative effort along the
marketing line are to be noted in half
a dozen or more other fruit growing
lines 1t is simply case where the
middlemen have killed the goose that
laid the golden egg.
1t is estimated that as result OF ex-
tensive drainage projects which have
been started in southern Louisiana
100000 acres of the most fertile land
in the world will be rendered produc-
tive and that the annual value of the
crops that can be raised on these re-
deemed lands will be worth hundreds
of millions of dollars.

\ PARENTAL COURT.

When a pOOrly-reared child COM
mits a petty offense he is brought
before the juvenile court. Ordinar-
lily the charges are minor. and if they
concerned adults. only a small per
cent would justify trial
A Kansas City juvenile court Off
cial's statement that 75 per cent of
the children brought to the juvenile
court should not be taken before a
magistrate calls attention to the pos
sibility that We are not solving the
problem of child misconduct after
all. This official suggests that We
prosecute the parents instead of the
child.
Under the present system in most
cities only the childr'n can be
reached. There is no control of the
parents. The blame for acts for
which the parents are responsible
falls on the child alone The neg
lected child is brought before the ju-
venile court charged with being a
neglected child. while the fault really
lies with the parents.
All this leads one to wonder if a
the juvenile court could not be bet
ter handled by a parental court.

LONG PROSPER COLCMBIA-DRY

Columbia is to be congratulated on
the vigor with which she is pushing
her improvements.
Columbia is a dry town and this
may be the reason why she has so
many cOzy homes. All these pretty
homes, miles of pavements and con-
crete sidewalks, were never built
with whisky money Whisky and
shacks naturally go together. Much
whisky means general tumble
down aspect.
Columbia is coming to the front
so rapidly because she is dry. Be-
cause she is coming to the front as
dry town, she cannot afford to
change her policy in regard to sa-
looms.
Let all of us say all We can for CO.
lumbia and let us be sure to mention
that the town will continue dry after
June I.
