SAYS WHIPPING POST DOESN'T HAVE EFFECT
ON CRIME THAT FOLLOWERS CLAIM
BY gibson GARDNER

..-- . GIEOON OAKONEh -.
Washington, Dec. 2o.-"The news
of still another whipping -this time
white man-at the Newcastle county
workhouse ia Delaware, indicates to
me that the whipping post has not
the deterrant effect upon crime that
is claimed by it's supporters, said
Representative Evans Of Montana to-
day, discussing the lashing last Sat
urday of another prisoner.
Governor Miller of Delaware in
a published interview stated that the
whipping post has eliminated the
criminal gentry from Delaware. In
my mail this morning l received a
marked copy of a morning news
paper published in Wilmington, Del,
where the Newcastle workhouse is
located, and on single page of that
paper ten stories OF crime appear.
Out of a total of thirty-two items on
that page about one-third are stories
of crime. 'Gunman Fires Twice in

states
The protest Of Rep. Evans against
the whipping post in Delaware has
received vigorous endorsement from
the National Consumers League,
through the chairman of it's prison
labor committee, Julian Leavitt.
81 would even go so far as to say
that the us. Department of Justice
should have the power to assume
control Of this institution, as a mat
ter of social sanitation, in precisely
the same manner that the u. S. Pub
lie Health Service takes charge of in
fected areas where the local authori-
ties are. unwilling or unable to exer-
else proper control, ;" declared Mr..
LeaVitt today in discussing the mat
ter.
Delaware clings to the old sys-
tens. And these are its by-products:
First, it produces embittered, hope
less, confirmed criminals. The lead
ing industry in this particular prison
is the making of boys knickerbock-
ers for private concern. Now, out
side of prison, this trade, like most
needle trades, is largely in the hands
of women. This means that the dis
charged prisoner finds himself with
out trade, without means and with
out friends on the day of his release.
Weakened by prison food and indoor
confinement, he is unfit to compete
with free men, and must revert to
crime Who knows what quota Della
ware is contributing to the criminal
population of its neighboring states.
Second, the Newcastle workhouse
is, like all contract prisons, hOtbed
of tuberculosis and other specific
prison diseases, Yet we know; on
the basis of oficial reports, that in
the year 1904, and probably in each
of the years following, the prisoners

pose so as to be able to loan it out for
seven or eight per cent for eighteen
months to two years as result of the
Twin City meeting.
1t is impossible to set down all of the
points raised during these meetings
which would be helpful to the farmers
of the county, but it is hoped that this
meeting being the first o. its kind held
IN Langdon will have created a new
sentiment toward the forces at work in
the state toward better farming condi-
tions and will have made possible more
successful meetings of this kind in the
future.
Among the clubs we'll represented at
the meeting were the Calvin, Daniels.
Austin, Mimic, Moscow and Mona clubs.
Ihe blizzard kept many of the clubs
from other parts of the county from be-
ing in attendance as had been paned.

FARMERS MEETING
HELD IN lANGDON
First Annual Cavalier County Far.
mers Conference Held Three
Days Last Week.

In spite of the severe weather during
the days when the meetings were held
considerable number of farmers we're
in attendance and expressed themselves
as we'll repaid for the Inconvenience
which their presence in such weather
involved. The prevailing opinion among
our farmers that such meetings
are, as rule, of little assistance to them
due to the fact that the discussions held
are impractical and do not deal with the
problems which they are most vitality
interested in, has been dispelled to a
considerable extent by this and other
meetings held this past winter under
the auspices ofour better farming associ
alton. 1t has been their aim always to
conhne the topics discussed to those oi
interest to the various communities and
to deal with them in a manner adopted
to local conditions.
On Thursday Mr.. Stewards talk dealt
mainly with the lessons to be gained
through his experience in plow-
ing and tilling our land up here. Some
of the points brought out we're that an
increase in yield was noted in five to six
inch fall blowing over three to four inch,
that where our soil is plowed to depth
of twelve inches with a deep tilling
machine almost 40 increase in yield is
obtained and certainly not enough to
justify the extra labor involved in plow-
ing so deeply. Another point was that
three to four inch spring plowing had
so far seemed to be best,especially where
little preparation is put in theland after
plowing. There seems to be little
difference in the development of the
plant root system whether deep OF
shallow plowng is practiced. In all cases
fifty per cent of the roots penetrate more
than two feet and many over five feet.
Mr.. krstjansen, who followed Mr.
Stewart pointed out the advantages Of
alfalfa as forage crop IN this county
and stated that where northern grown
hardy alfalfa seed, was sown on rich
land free from weeds, with plenty OF
inoculation soil that there was no diff

Seed Testing Week, March E7-22

Due to the fact that unfavorable
harvest conditions prevailed over much
of North Dakota last year and particu-
lary in this county, much grain has
been tested which fails either partially
or wholly to germinate. A termination
test properly conducted not only should
determine what grain is fit for seeding
but should govern to large extent the
amount sown. The first condition in
fuencing the ultimate yield is stand
obtained from seeding, it is then a
matter of more than trivial Importance
to assume yourself of the termination of
the seeds sown.
For the purpose of conducting as
many tests as possible and at the same
time teaching the boys and girls of the
county the Importance of, and manner
in which seed grain may be tested, the
county superintendent cooperating with
the better farming association is sending
out to the country schools of the county
letters of instruction as to the methods
of testing. The results of these tests
which are 10 be sent to. and tabulated
by, the county superintendent will be
latter presented to the public.
! In order to give this. work greater
prominence it is requested that this
week of March 18th to 22nd be set aside
as the time when such tests are to be
started and attention given 70 this
matter. 1t is hoped that all teachers.
particularly in the rural district. will
/ take it upon themselves to further this
very important work.
