One of the prize publicity methods
of the brewery and wine interests is
to contrast the amount of drunkenness
in one of our prohibition states, usual
ly Maine, with the amount of drunk
enness in the wine-drinking countries
of France and Italy in an attempt to
show the superiority of the latter in
the matter of sobriety. So far from
being correct, the statesmen of France
and Italy have long recognized intern
perance as one Of the most serious
evils with which they have to contend.
In 1912 the Italian premier, Hon. Luigi
Luzzatti, introduced a bill into the
Italian parliament providing measures
for the reduction Of intemperance, and
presented a great mass Of evidence
showing that deaths from alcoholism
in Italy are rapidly increasing, while
the general death rate is falling. Prof.
Cesare L0mbroso, the world-renowned
alienist, recently deceased, published
in the Archive di Psichiatria Of which
he was the editor, stirring appeal
from Doctor Antonini, superintendent
of one of the largest insane asylums in
Italy, in which he said: "The, HOspi-
tails and insane asylums are filled with
alcoholic patients; consumption pro-
NOTED by alcoholic degeneracy RACES;
pellagra joins itself with alcoholic poi
soning; crime is becoming more fire.
Quent among the young; the suicides
are legion; the people are growing
steadily weaker and more morally de-
generate" To this appeal, Lombroso
added his Endorsement, with demand
for stringent legislation. At the Milan
International Congress on Alcoholism,
1918, prominent Italian delegates
spoke strongly Of the growing evils
caused by alcohol. Hon. H. E. Falci-
Oni, Italian secretary Of stats, report
ed that deaths from alcoholism have
nearly trebled since 1889. Against Of
fetal declarations like these the argu-
ments of brewers and wlnemen and
their supporters have no weight.

MuNsrERRuRe ON SALOON.

The late Prof Hugo MunsteFburg
of Harvard, recognized authority in
America on German ideals, gave to
the public in 1907 this opinion Of the
saloon:
"There is nothing more degrading
and no more atrocious insult to civil
lied life than the American saloon. It
has poisoned the social atmosphere
for the masses in it the workingman
squanders his savings, and the healthy
man devastates his energies and be-
comes a wreck. Political corruption
irradiates from the saloon into the
whole public life and thousand ways
lead from the saloon to the peniten-
tiary. It is a blessed movement which
now turns with overwhelming energy
against the horrors of this evil and
source of infection. There may be dis
agreements as to the best ways and
means, disagreement whether strict
prohibition or education towards tenn
perance is the more reliable meth
cd; but there is no disagreement as
to the fact that the saloon has to be
wiped out, and the day seems near
indeed when-thanks to women-the
fight against the saloon will be taken
up in almost every state"

SECOND EMANCIPATION.

In high moments Abraham Lincoln
dreamed of the coming Of the hour
when In all the land there should be
found no slave, and he lived to see
the dream come true, and with his own
good hand he unlocked the bar that
held a race captive. But that was
not all his dream. He dreamed of the
coming of a day when in all the land,
the land he loved, and for which he
gave his life, there should be found
no drunkard made by government
sanction. He died and did not see
that half of his great dream realized,
but his countrymen do not forget, nor
shall they until in the high empire of
a mighty power they commission an
other man from the selfsame room in
the capitol at Washington to write
the emancipation of the land from the
liquor traffic.-Ex. Gov. ]. Frank
Hanly of Indiana.

Muscadine grapes shatter readily
from the stem. When the fruit is in
tended for wineries it is harvested by
iarring the berries from the vines on
to large canvas sheets. Fruit for ia
bic use should be hand picked. BY
careful hand picking, the fruit of some
varieties can be secured in clusters
and it sells for a higher price upon
the market.
One of the purposes Of the investi-
cations now carried on by the depart
ment is to develop, through breeding
work, varieties in which the berries
will adhere better to the cluster. Some
other aims Of the breeding investiga-
tons are "a to originate perfect-fOw-
ered self-fertile varieties, to eliminate
the necessity of interplanting with
male vines, and (2) to originate vari-
cites having larger clusters and fruit
of better quality.
The muscadine grapes are very pro-
ductive, and up to the present time
remunerative prices have been secured
for the fruit.

(By P. G. HOLDEN. Former Dean Iowa
State College,
The cattle tick has taken toll from
the Southern farmer for 80 years. The
tick is a great menace to the live
stock business in the cotton belt
states.
Nor is the damage to animal life
done by this destructive blood suck
ing parasite confined to the South
alone. Its injurious influence reaches
into every Northern state, and affects
every breeder of live stock by prevent
ing the shipment of purebred cattle
from the North into tick-infested terri
tory in the South. The tick has cost
the South millions Of dollars. 1t has
cost the North millions also.
The quarantine line, although mag
mary, fortifies the South against the
live stock industry, encourages the
One-crop system, kills diversified farm
ing. Many livestock breeders of the
Northern states fail to see wherein
they are affected by the cattle tick. Let
these consider seriously that ten South

LESPEDEZA MAKES GOOD HAY
Splendid for Home Use and for Mar
ket When Pure Quality Is OBJ
tained-Best on Low Lands.

Lespedeza or Japan clover makes a
splendid hay for home use and for the
market when pure quality is OBJ
tanned. Lespedeza is too small plant
to make much hay but it makes up In
thickness of stand what it lacks in
height and may be depended upon to
yield from one TO three tons per acre
where the land is prepared and seed
sowed as for other crops.
Lespedeza, of course, does better on
low lands where there is a good supply
of moisture, but also does well on billy
land where the soil is reasonably fer
tile and the season is not too dry.
Perhaps no other plant can be so
easily grown on all kinds Of soils, so
easily cured, or will furnish as much
excellent hay with as little expense as
Lespedeza.

planted on new land the land should
be well prepared and some annual
crop requiring cultivation be grown on
it at least one season.
Until recently it was a common be-
lief that muscadine vines could not be
pruned without killing them. This has
been shown to be mistake, but there
are still persons who advocate the
growing of vines without pruning The
safest plan, according to knowledge
now available, is to follow moderate
pruning.
In training the vines, two systems
are employed. ~ the horizontal, or
overhead system, by which the growth
IS spread on an overhead canopy about
seven feet above the ground and sup
ported by posts, and (2) the upright, OK
vertical, system, In which the growth
Is spread over vertical trellis. Both
have their advantages.

MARKSMANSHIP

In Sweden three corporals and three
privates were used in test to deter
mine the effect Of alcohol upon pre-
cision. During the days Of the first
test the men were entirely abstaining,
while during the second series OF
tests they were allowed two-thirds OF
a wineglass of brandy short time be-
fore the firing and an equal amount
of alcohol in punch on the evening
before. In the Quick-fring tests, on
the alcohol days, they hit the target
on the average only three times out OF
80 shots, but on the abstinent days the
average was % and 20 hits. TIE men
were found to be similarly affected by
alcohol during tests for endurance or
sustained firing.
