w yASHINGTON, ID. c., June 17.-At last those
w little dried berries known as currants, so
w popular in American cakes and puddings,
to be produced in this country. After years OF
experimentation, pomologist of the United States
department of agriculture has discovered the secret
of their culture, so that will no longer suffer
from a currant shortage because we are dependent
upon Europe for our supply.
This may be astonishing to many people
who have been successfully growing currant bushes
in their backwards for number of years, Tor only
since the has the news leaked out that the
currant of pudding fame is really not a currant at
ALL but dried grape.
Until the past year currant grapes were pro-
duced in marketable quantities only in Greece The
Greek frut-growers alone understood the secret of
their culture, and they guarded their secret we'll,
aided by the Greek government, which obtained
large revenues from the currant industry. Not only
did the Greek government not tell the world how
to grow currant grapes, but it maintained strict
control of the industry, each year specifying how
many vines the farmers should cultivate, how many
pounds of grapes should be dried and at what price
they must be sold
Until the scarcity of ships limited importation,
the United States in the habit of importing
annually from Greece from thirty to thirty-fve
million pounds of dried currants which
200, 900 pounds of grapes in the fresh state,
three and half pounds of fresh grapes being re-
CURED to produce one pound of the dried product
1t was realized that this large demand for currants
might be supplied just as we'll from home sources,
if American fruit-growers only know how to pro-
duce them
For many years. Prof George C. Husmann in
agriculture, worked on this problem of the currant
grape. First it question of finding a con-
genial soil. Vines planted in twelve different
kinds of soil the twelve government expert
mental vineyards in California, and eventually the
proper soil was discovered But the currant grape
vine proved a victim of phylloxera-that parasite
which fastens the roots of many of our native
grape vines and destroys them. There are several
sturdy stocks that resist this parasite however so
it then became necessary to find a congenial
phylloxera-resstant home stock which the cur
rant grape could be grated
All this accomplished The currant grape
grew the selected home stock and in the spring
when it put forth its flowers, the department
pomologists carefully made the usual incision in
the bark which is supposed to increase the yield of
fruit. But when the fruit appeared it was small
and occurred only in thin irregular clusters. Prof
Husmann was compelled to admit that his expert
ment had failed.
Every year the currant grapes we're failure.
The professor about to give up the whole thing
when he suddenly became encouraged from an I'M
expected source. An explorer of the department OF
agriculture returned from China with some extraor
binary photographs of Chinese flora. Among them

WORK AND PLAY.-By H. Addington Bruce.

is present counteracting element of interest
guided volition.
That is to say, though they are under the com
pulsion of earning their livelihood by work, they
have been free to choose work which they really
like to do. Thus in some degree they have been
able to retain the play spirit even while at work
For the matter of that, there are certain men
in all walks of life-lawyers, doctors, teachers.
bankers, mechanics, etc.-who, however hard they
work, similarly get real enjoyment out of their
work because they have chosen it wisely
Not necessity alone determined their choice OF
work nor the within of somebody else Knowing
that they had to work, they made choice accord
ing their own desire.
The work they do is still work to them 1t is
not play But because it is truly congenial the
spirit of play enters sufficiently to it from
ever becoming DRUDGERY.
Some day, perhaps, mankind whole will
awaken to the truth that to alay the bitterness ana
resentment with which work is commonly
regarded, the supreme need is to choose oceupa-
tions according personal interests and capacities
When that day comes play will still be as pop
uIar as ever. But the compulsion of work will be
far less onerous than it now is to the great ma
jority of men.
Then everywhere shall hear people say, as
only occasionally we hear said today:
''Of course, play is sport But work isn't such
bad sport, either.

tinct and gratifying publicly step.

tinct and gratifying publicly step.
When one discusses government publicity the
thought turns inevitably to Chairman Creel of the
, committee public information.
Representative Edward w. Pou, of North Caro-
lina chairman of the house rules committee may
soon properly claim credit for being the original
peacemaker between George Creel and congress.
During the current week the house is expected to
vote approximately two million dollars for the sup
port of Mr.. Creers government publicity bureau
the committee public information-for the next
year. Before he finally enlisted the support of
the appropriations committee Mr.. Creel had COZ
WINGED the chairman of the rules committee that
he, Creel, was misunderstood official and that
all of the congress criticism not justified.
The first conference between Creel and a con-
gressional leader was with Representative Pou,
whose committee had pending resolution of in
vestigation. After this conference Creel wrote
Chairman Pou that he would like to get better
quainted with congress, to meet its criticisms and
explain the activities of the committee public
information. Representative Pou made the Creel
letter public and it had good effect. Mr.. Creel
expressed a desire to appear either before the
rules the appropriations committee and set him
self Alright He admitted that he had sometimes
spoken hastily and indscreetly, but expressed the
belief he could show congress the need for the
committee of which Creel is chairman.
Mr.. Creel spent practically two days before the
appropriations committee last week and made
good impression. The committee is going to recon-
mend the appropriation for the Creel committee,
which will hereafter be subject to congressional
supervision, and after final fling during the de-
bates this week the Congressional row probably
will subsde.
The rules committee investigation of Creel's
committee and his utterances alleged to be disre-
spectfuI to congress has practically been shelved.
Mr. Creel's apology and his detailed statement be-
fore the appropriations committee is expected to
end the controversy and Representative Pou; who
went to Creel and told him Of reports and rumors
concerning the bureau of information, and the gen
eral lack of understanding in congress about
Creers work, has been puartly responsible for
pouring oil on the troubled waters.
Even some of the Republican members of the
house who have been hot Creels trail have
warmed up to him a bit recently. Uncle Joe"
Cannon a member of the appropriations commit
fee sat through the Creel testimony and while he
isn't convinced that the government needs big
publicity bureau, and doesn't like some OF the
things Cree has said and done in the past he isn't
az nositive as he was month ago when he told the
house that "the best thing to do with Creel Is to
take him by the nap of the neck and throw him
into space
''TJncle Joe" gave Creel respectful and
siderate hearing, and decided he wasn't such bad
fellow after all.

Remove the element of compulsion and WORK

little actual unsettlement. the coun-
try has passed through the first

of reimbursement, involving a general

which have prevented the develop

CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE.

Chicago, Dec. 13-Increased rural
buying together with adverse weather
lifted the corn market today to the
highest prices yet this season. The
close was unsettled at 23sc to 3% c
net advance, with January $1.3SA to
$1.38h and May $1.3S& to $1.389s
Oats gained 12c to 1Ac. The out
come in provisions ranged from 22c
decline to a rise of 45c.
Sentiment in favor of the bull side
of the corn market gathered force al
most from the outset Buying at first
was of a scattered sort and appeared
to be due chiefly to the fact that mild
temperatures and excessive rain had
made country roads difficult for de-
liveries from farms, and would tend
to hamper the crop movement. Re-
ports indicating that moreover, the
majority of the producers were in
clined to seek decidedly higher prices
on account of the government crop
figures led afterward to a broad
general demand in which the country
took a conspicuous part. Profit TAX
ing eased the market toward the last,
but all offerings were readily abb
sorbed.
Oats like corn responded to en-
larged outside buying. Exporters,
though, were said to have withdrawn
from the market. Although weakness
in the hog market had temporary
bearish effect on provisions the
strength of corn brought about sub
stantial rallies.
