SOME SECRETS OF
SWEET CORN
Quality Is what Counts.
Il. X. EDWARDS.

Nearly every one plants sweet corn of
some kind in the garden. When we refer
to it, however. we mean quality sweet
corn, that delectable melting feast of
sweetness which the average gardener
a season.
But to have continuous supply of the
best corn in the best condition on must
know just how to arrange for it, when
to pick it and how to cook it. Now there
are two methods of raising it, either by
repeated paintings at intervals of one
or two weeks or by planting several va
rieties at one time selected to mature in
succession as a supply for several weeks
may be had from n single planting, so
that only two paintings will he required.
Each plan has its good points. Where
space is limited successive planting will,
Of course, be preferable, and the matter
Of variety as governing quality is also
important.
NEW VARIETIES.
OF the several different kinds the fol-
lowing varieties have been tried with
success: Golden Rod, Golden Bantam,
Hiawatha, Pocahontas Early Champion,
Crosbys Early, the Henderson. Country
Gentleman and Stowelps Evergreen. The
Golden Rod is a cross between Stowell $
Evergreen and Golden Bantam and is a
happy combination of blending the SoUd
qualities of both. 1t is one of the mid
season varieties. Henderson's Pocaht
tas is an extra early variety, ana, while
not equal to some of the later kinds, it
1t well worth a place in the garden. Sew
eral other familiar varieties-namcly the
Golden Bantam and Country Gentleman,
also have that deservedly noted sweet
flavor of the Golden Rod and Hiawatha.

ATTACK ON CONGRESSMAN GREENE
Hrom the Yergennes Enternrtael

From the Vergennes Enterprtse)
One of the surprises Of the week In
political circles has been the attack by
the Rutland Herald on Congressman
Frank l.. Greene of the first Vermont dis
trtct, charging him with moral cowardice
because he voted In favor of the Clayton
bill, an antitrust measure before Con-
gress AS matter of fact, the congress
man voted no on this bill, or rather
that section of 1t which the Herald &C.
cuses him of voting for.
A part Of the Heralds article reads as
follows:
THE Herald must conclude that Mr..
Greene shared in the wholesale panic
which afflicted Congress, and, menac ed
by the glittering eye of Morrison and
the unseen terror of Gompers, politely
did the bidding of organized labor"
Those who know Frank Greene are not
likely to believe that he would be in
f1uenced by the glittering eye of Morri-
SON or the unseen terror OF Gompers, "
He Is not one TO quail before the glitter
ing eye" or bow to the unseen terror. -
As a citizen and a soldier he has always
been true to his obliga tons. and certain
ly no Vermonter has ever had cause to
regret that his vote helped to send him
to Washington.
This talk OF the Herald is plainly in
tended to inJure Colonel Greene in the
eyes OF the people. There is a motive
back OF It. We do not believe that mo-
tive Is one purely in the interests OF good
government. 1t is too vindictive. too

those who have so criticised him. Here
he reveals q weakness In his defense be-
cause 1t is always a sign of weakness for
one to begin calling the man who has hit
him names. He does state in an indirect
way, however, that in Washington conn-
ty, where 5000 was expended In an effort
to bring a murderer to justice, there had
been approximately $4,000 turned into
the State treasury in fines and costs i'm
posed In criminal prosecutions. He main
tains also that the detection and punish
ment OF crime should not depend wholly
upon It's cost. Nor is 1t desirable to
spend a specified sum in the detection of
crime and then stop when the expendi-
ture Of more money would result in the
apprehension of the criminal.
Most Of this reasoning seems sound but
we fear that Mr.. Brown may find 1t DIFF
ficut to show that the returns to the
State treasury in the form of fines and
costs in criminal prosecutions have in
creased as much as the detective ex-
penses. Let us compare the revenues
from all sources in the department of
justice for three years previous to the

mount importance. 1t ought not to take
