different states for a period OF i've

brings up the question as 70 whether
the cultivation Of corn is Of any value
except to keep down weeds. The re-
suits seem to show that there IL lit

mulch after the weeds are destroyed.
The tests were made by experiment
stations and practical farmers under
the supervision Of government ex-
perts, the experimental plots being 10
Gated in corn growing communities
from the Atlantic to the Pacific. In
each case two plots were prepared and
planted to corn in exactly the same
way. On one plot all weeds were cut
with a hoe or something similar. but
without further cultivation. The 9th
er plot received ordinary cultivation
that kept all weeds down. The gen
eral average for all showed that the
uncultivated plots produced 99.10s POI

JUVENILE COURTS.
Chlldren's Aid Society Urges Es.
tabllshment In. Every County.

Every county in Maryland should have
Juvenile Court. Only one hss-Allegany. Bal
timore City has had such court for number
Of years. but 1t does not consider county cases.
Under the present law, children less than
sixteen years old taken into custody for any
reason may be put in jail. It matters not
whether they be offenders or offended against,
young thieves or neglected children without
proper care or guardianship.
The Juvenile Court system aims to do away
with the necessity for detention, but where,
because of coming from distance or other
valid reason, the child must be held, it will be
cared for In suitable private home until the
case is disposed of. Detention Of this kind
could be arranged by cooperation with the
Maryland Children's Aid Society.
It is q cruel thing to put child in jail. The
stigma OF having been behind the bars'' is
hard to live down. Then there is always dan
ger TO the child in association with adult GRIM
inals, even the brief intercourse Of the jail
yard. Old hands at wronging coached one
i3year old boy in jail, drilling him how to
testify to his innocence of charge to which
he had already pleaded guilty.
Every county has cases of youthful offenders
and neglected minors to deal with and, lacking
q Juvenile Court, It must be left to the discre-
tion Of the Individual magistrate how to han
die cases where . boy or girl faces . charge
that seems too serious to dismiss offhand. 1t
cannot but be temptation to the perplexed
Official to evade personal responsibility by
sending the case on to court for trial. The
fact that. under the present law. the child
must be kept In jail in the meantime seems
not to have any weight in the matter.
In one county five boys robbed bakeshop
and had feast. They were committed for
court, the i've Of them bundled of to the
county jail together. There they were in close
contact, when the one thing indispensable was
to separate them from each other. One boy
was found to be feeble-minded, one incorrig-
ible, and the other three needed only proper
home influence. In passing. not the least Of
the Juvenile Courts services to the public is
bringing to light such deficiencies as feeble
mindedness. that the unfortunate child may
be placed in an institution where it will be so
trained that 1t will not drift into delinquency
and be an evil associate for otherchildren.
This is q sample Of the kind Of cases that
come up in the counties. Thesel should not
be jail cases. Children under 10 should be
tried as children, not as adult criminals. En-
lighteped communities everywhere are de-
manding the Juvenile Court. This county
should be in the march of progress.

Forest Fires To Be Reported BY
Rural Mall Carriers.

The official Postal Guide for May calls
the attention of postmasters and rural
carriers to an order Of the Post Office De-
partment that the carriers report to the
proper authorities all forest fires detected
along their routes. This order was issued
at the request of the Secretary of Agri-
culture. For several years in some Sec
tons of the country sort of informal
understanding has existed between Ma
Itional Forest rangers and mail carriers
with the idea of securing increased fire
protection. The marked effectiveness OF
this cooperation was a strong argument
in favor OF its extension and official sane
tion. and was in part responsible for the
request OF the Secretary of Agriculture
which tesulted in the order by the Post
Office Department.
The plan is for the carrier to report a
fire to the nearest forest officer on his
route, or. if no officer lives on the route.
to have him notified by some responsible
citizen. State and national foresters are
supplied with post road maps and with
postal guides containing addresses of the
Different postmasters. The postmasters
in turn are supplied by the foresters with
names. addresses. and telephone call
numbers of forest officers residing on or
near the carriers routes.
Cooperation between rural carriers and
State officers is given in all the New Eng
land States, and in New York. New Jer-
sey. Pennsylvania. Maryland. West vir-
ginia. Tennessee. Kentucky. Michigan.
Wisconsin. Minnesota, Idaho. Washing
ton. Oregon. and California, all these
States having established fire protective
systems.
