Japanese officials In Korea, in dis

TO Koreans in the independence move
ment there, say that the old Korean
custom of flogging has been continued
by the japanese authorities.
One reason given by the Japanese
for this was that the prisons were In
sufficient to lodge the large number
Of prisoners arrested in the revolution

also declare that the Koreans, them
selves. sometimes preferred flogging
to paying a fine.

statements from foreigners In Korea al

At eighty-one years of age, James

In 1868, Wainscott was in a hos

In one of the last battles Of the Civil
war. He married the nurse who
brought him back to health. After six
months they separated, and Vain
scott was told later that she had died.
So in 1870 he married again, and has
since then been a wealthy resident Of
Richmond, and has family Of ID chill

And now of the dead past comes

reports by SPECTATORS. They tend to
stabilize prices by giving advance In.
formation of. OverprOduction or under
production. The certainty Of supply
resulting from dependable government
reports reduces tile carrying risk of
buyers and dealers, and enables them
to pay better prices than would be
possible otherwise. The government
reports enable transportation COM
panies to estimate tonnage and to pro-
vide cars when and where they are
needed. They give bankers the in
formation necessary in providing funds
for financing farmers in the produc-
ton of their crops and, after harvest,
for buyers and distributors Of crops.
They enable manufacturers to know,
months In advance, what materials
should be contracted for in order that
farm machinery, equipment, and sup
plies may be made available without
annoying and expensive delays.
There Is Just one class of men In
jured by the government crop reports.
They are the professional spectators
who profit by the ignorance and un-
certainty of others,
Those facts have long been realized
as to the government reports on field
crops. Now they are to become equal
ly true as to live stock.
To Show Commercial Production"
A number of other things are to be
done Under the Lew program. One
will be to show, not merely total pro-
iuction, but commercial production as
well. That is. the crop report will
show not only how much of given
commodity 10 produced on the farms
nut how much les yes the farms and
goes on the market. The price Of any
hing Is not determined by the guam
Hty Of that thing produced on the
farm, consumed on the farm, or wasted
IN the farm, so much as by the mar
setable surplus-the portion that actu-
ally leaves the farm and becomes
factor in supply aid demand in the
open market.
Another important thing that will
he a little longer In coming is the
actual taking Of farm census every
year instead Of using as basis of all
figures the last preceding 1O-year cen
sus. This Is to be accomplished by
Using tax assessors as gatherers Of
basic farm figures. About 30 states
have already passed laws requiring
assessors to do this work, the returns
to be made to the state commissioner
IF agriculture and to be checked up
by the state field agent Of the bureau
of crop estimates. In states where
such laws have been passed, they are,
for the most part, new and are not yet
fully In effective operation. The de-
partment of agriculture expects, how.
ever, that similar laws will be passed
in all other states and the plan put In
complete effective operation through
out the United States within the next
Ave years.
A great deal Of work Is being done.
also looking to closer cooperation be-
tween the federal department Of agri-
culture and the state departments.
Such cooperation results In combining
the facilities Of the two organizations
and using them for the issuance Of a
single monthly crop report for the
state instead of two. Cooperative
agreements have been entered into In
Wisconsin, Ohio, Illinois. Iowa. Ne
braska, Missouri, Georgia, Alabama,
North Carolina, West Virginia, Arkan-
sas. Utah and Idaho, and are under
consideration in many other states.
