PROPOSE REVISION
IN CRIMINAL CODE
OFFICIALS, SEEKING GREATER
UNIFORMITY IN SENTENCES,
SUGGEST CHANGES.

A committee consisting of Judges
Kenneth Macintosh of King county
and John r. Mitchell of this county,
Assistant Attorney General Scott z.
Henderson and Prosecutor Frank
Christensen of San Juan county, de-
cided at a meeting here the latter
part of last week that the best meth
cd to remedy glazing lack of uni
formity in penal sentences will be to
transfer all discretion from the SEN
fencing judges to the prison and re-
formatory boards.
This committee was appointed by
the prosecuting attorneys association
at their recent meeting in connection
with the Washington State Bar asso-
citation. In accordance with this con-
clusion a bill will be prepared for
presentation to the next legislature,
classifying all crimes and prescribing
q minimum and maximum sentence
for each crime. In passing sentence
Judges will be required to name the
statutory minimum and maximum.
The proposed bill will be complete
revision of the felony penal sections
of the criminal code, and will give
the state prison and reformatory
boards much wider powers in the
paroling of inmates Of the peniten-
tiary and reformatory.
The committees action adopts in
detail the recommendation of the
state board of control, which COM
prises q majority Of both the prison
and reformatory boards. 1t has been
the experience of the board to find in
many cases q prisoner with a one
year minimum serving along side
second prisoner, convicted of the
same offense from another county.
with a five-year minimum.
Uniformity in the treatment of
prisoners has thus been impossible
calling upon the governor in
many instances to exercise the par
doning power. It is believed that the
change proposed in the law will elm
mate four-fifths of all pardons now
granted.
Another reason that impelled the
of judges and attorneys to
recommend the change was the fact
that the board of control, through
It's close connection with the national
bureau, has a much
better opportunity to learn of the !
past records Of convicts than have
the committing judges.

TEN|NO man SUCCEEDS
IN MATURING CORN HERE
"A. ID. Campbell Has Crop Estimated
at SO Bushels Per Acre, in
Fine Condition,

That corn can be raised in this ser.
ton of Washington has been proved
by A. D. Campbell. who this season
experimental with an acre on the
ranch adjoining Tenino on the north
east, says the Tenino Journal, citing
another instance, as that reported
from Gate last week, where good field
corn has ben grown on a Thurston
county farm. The corn was grown
from seed furnished by Farmer Smith
of the O.-W. railway agricultural bu-
reau, the soil was handled according
to Mr.. Smiths instructions and the
result has been very gratifying.
The corn is of the Yellow Dent
family, known as Minnesota 10. The
ears will average nine inches in
length and contain IA to 1S rows to
the ear. The acre was inspected last
week by an old Iowa corn farmer and
he estimated 1t to make at least Sc
bushels. 1t is already fully matured
and will furnish plenty of acclimated
seed for another year.
Following instructions from Mr..
Smith the ground was plowed about
eight inches deep and the corn was
check-rowed SO that it could be cul-
tivated two ways. In planting the
corn five grains were planted in each
hill, to insure against unfertile seed.
The corn was cultivated five times,
but, according to Mr.. Smith, it would
have been better had the corn re-
ceived more cultivation, as 1t has
been demonstrated that the more the
ground is cultivated in this country,
the more moisture will be retained.
Before blowing, the ground was
treated with heavy covering Of
horse manure. This was done to add
warmth to the ground in order that
the tender shoots would not be in
jured by the cold nights in early
spring. The seed was planted on May
Is, that being the date advised by
Mr.. Smith.
This corn, on an average, stands
about seven feet high and contains
about four stocks to the hill. Corn
raisers say that two stocks is plenty
and that the yield will be larger than
II the hills contained more than two
stocks. Owing to the late spring Mr..
Campbell did not have much faith In
the corn growing to maturity and
made no effort to thinning, but ex-
pected to cut it for ensilage.
Mr.. Campbell Is we'll pleased with
the demonstration made this year
and is planning to treat several acres
this winter for the planting OF corn
next spring.
