of rewards for the members of the colony for
good work. As may be supposed, however
the tramp labor is in part unskilled, and this
has a tendency to cut down the profits from
the industries Moreover, it creates a con-
dition of competition with existing manu-
acturing enterprises.
The ideal plan has been worked out in
Switzerland, where it has been recognized
that, while land is difficult thing from
which to derive an income in cases where
tramp labor is employed, it is comparatively
simple from which to obtain nourishment,
and that agriculture is better suited to tramp
colonies than any other form of endeavor.
The Swiss colonies cannot be said to COM
pete at all with either free labor or industry.
All workshops at both places are purely sec
ondary. The former colony is for forced
labor only, while the other is a free institu-
ton. This has made it possible for magis-
trates in Switzerland to commit every va
grant coming before them and thus to let
the final disposition of the tramp's case rest
upon his own conduct in the labor colony.
Many subcolonies have been started in
Switzerland. This has served to help each
community rid its borders of tramps Best
of all, it tends to emphasize the desirability
of small colony over large one. The va
grants are brought into closer daily contact
with the director and his assistants, thus
permitting reforming influences impossible
in big colony. Again, the system of
small colonies allows the inmates to occupy
temporary quarters and to build their own
permanent homes as needed. This G ives
them deeper interest in the results of their
individual efforts. Where they have direct
participation in the prosperity of the colony,
such as separate tables to which a different
dietary is applied this furnishes a stimulus
Al.
bles and fruit. BY the time the men have
about earned their freedom, and have been
placed on small wage basis, they are per
mitted to eat with their employers, to smoke,
and to sleep without being locked in their
cells. With their small savings and rejuven-
ated mental and physical state, they are able
to leave the colonies on the best of under
standings with the managers, and to start
out anew to make their own way in life.

a general way the effort must be as far as
possible TO fit the trampS in this group for
employment.
At present the problem presented to a
magistrate every time vagabond IS brought
before him is practically insoluble by him.
The boy travelling for pure adventure, or the
battered hungry, dirty, and misunderstood
tramp IS a victim of pernicious system
which can never be bettered by short time
Jail sentence, and the sure return of the
vagrant to his former life of drinking steal
ing, and begging. Only by committing him
to farm colony where he will be obliged to
work and come into some human relations
with the Overseers and be wholesomely
affected by new influences, can any deter
minatlon be reached as to the class in which
tramp belongs and the surest way of per-
manently reforming him.
In cases where tramps have fallen SO low
that they are no longer sensible to whole
some influences, it has been found in con-
nection with the European labor colonies
that it is possible to subject them to the par
ticular form of training required by their in
dividual circumstances, and thus in time
prepare them again to take their place in the
industrial economy of the nation.
WHILE there are necessarily modifica-
" tons of the farm colony system in
Holland, Belgium, Germany, and Switzer-
land, adapted to the special needs of each
country, the result has been to rid their
lands of tramps. The first colony of Migrants
was started in Holland, and originally in
Guided plan of reformation whereby the
inmates of the farms would in time be spread
in homes of their own upon the land. As
yet the Dutch colonies are not self support
ing, and many difficulties have been en-
countered in the effort to reform the men,
bers; but it has been demonstrated that this
system works to abolish the tramp evil.
At Aerxplas, Belgium, is to be found an
outgrowth of the Dutch colony; but it is
more of an industrial village with its build
ings all the work of the five thousand in
mates and manufactures of tiles, wagons,
buttons, and bags. Every trade is repre-
sented. The farm buildings are models of
cleanliness. There is an admirable system

Even Johnson was surprised at the reck-

forward round Morton and his CROOKED

more like an outing party instead of the
capture of a fugitive from justice, Long

douche, Suppose Morton had tried to bride

wrecker after that attempt. He knew from
the first that Morton was going to send up
those rockets, and he let him pull the wool

sons own little love craft, foundered on the
rocks of financial disaster and jealousy. In
the laughing and chatting, steering straight
for the inlet as they were, none of them had
realized that they had covered the distance
60 out. The time of reckoning was close!
Yankee Evans swung over the steering
sweep, and the lifeboat stormed past the
treacherous reef, shot through the inlet, and
rounded up back of the station. For the
first time Long Johnson spoke. Ashore he
was still in command of the life crew, and
he had made up his mind what to do.
"You take Harry Morton up to the sta
ton an take along that partner o his! Well
see what's to pay for this nights work.
For moment there was silence. Then,
to Johnson's dismay, burst of laughter
greeted him. A voice strangely high and
familiar to him-cried:
"Of course I'll go along with Harry! Oh,
Mr.. Johnson"
Half dozen men interfered, and the voice
broke off, srnothered in giggles. Before
Johnson could begin to grasp the meaning
of all this, Evans and Welsh had him by the
arm, hustling him up to the station. In a
daze he noticed that Morton followed quite
peaceably with his partner"
In the glare of the messroom Johnson
swung on his mates, who gathered, grinning
back at him, with Harry Morton and the
fugitive in their midst.

SMYRNA CLAYTON GROWERS
DUBIOUS ABOUT COLD SNAP
SOME THINK DAMAGE SLIGHT:
OTHERS FEEL CROPS ARE HURT
Some Concern Over Grapes Now Be-
come a Profitable rdustry-Pota-
toes Show Blight Hope for Best

There is much speculation over the
result of the cold spell of Saturday
and Sunday nights and its effect upon
fruit and vegetation. Smyrna far
mers, a number Of whom have been
interviewed feel that the damage has
been slight, although they say it will
take the warm sunshine to fully de-
termine the real extent Of the dam
age. On both Of the nights above
mentioned the frost was heavy and in
many places ice appeared. The most
concern felt in the immediate vicinity
was over the grape, tomato and po-
tatO crops. Very few peach orchards
abound around Smyrna and Clayton
but as a grape belt il is becoming
known all over the state. In some
few cases growers have noticed where
frost has touched the grapes. others
notice it in their potato fields and so
varying reports come in. The dam
age was more noticeable IN lima beans
and tender vegetation just out Of the
ground. Varying reports come from
all parts of the state. While reports
from down the State are that fruit
and vegetables and berries in some
localities were seriously damaged by
the frost and cold spell Of Saturday
and Sunday nights, the latest word is
that the potato crop in portions of
Kent and Sussex has been blighted.
Early strawberries escape serious
harm, although they will be retarded
a few days, but the late strawberries
in the middle section of Sussex have
been hurt by the cold. Blackberries
have suffered considerably, and in
some places the entire acreage Of them
was killed. About Bridgeville.
where potato-growing is followed on
large scale, entire fields of potato
plants have been bitten BY the frost
and the plants have fallen limp TO the
ground. The financial loss to grow
ers will be vast. Vegetables about
Milford were hard hit, but apples
peaches and pears seem TO have come
through the chill in pretty good shape.
Farmers and market gardenders in
New Castle county are praying for
rain before the warm sun comes or
they fear the loss by the frosts Of the
past week will be enormous. There
appears to be hope for the strawberry
crop in northern New Castle county.

The State Board of Agriculture

president of the board. Already work
for the benefit of the farmers and

plished by this board. Farm labor
ers, chiefly white men and many of
them experienced hands, have been
sought and supplied to Peninsula far

board and been placed in good homes.
