THE NEW SWEET CORN.

The Golden Giant sweet corn is lit
orally sweeping the country. The fu-
ture OF this remarkable product Is OF
more than passing interest TO readers
OF THE SUNS garden pages, for it was
in these columns that 1t had its first
introduction TO the public. according to
the frank admission Of no one more or
less than DR.. De Lue himself. The
Golden Giant had been advertised in n
dcsultory sort OF fashion, but the first
and exclusive article in relation to the
new master of the fields" as 1t has
been termed. appeared In the garden
pages of THE Sun on February 20 OF
this year. Since then the interest in
the new corn has become worldwide.
The article in question told how DR..
De Lue produced the corn after long
years of research and experiment.
In an unpretentious suite OF Offices
at 80 Newbury street, Boston. Mass.
DR.. Frederick s. De Lue may be found
almost any afternoon. modest and
somewhat retiring gentleman, Of un-
assuming dress and personality. He is
one of the most eminent and success
full of American oculists.
DR.. De I.ue was at one time an in
structor at Wellesley, and again at
Harvard In histology under the ia
nous Prof. Minot. He was also an as
sociate of the great Landolf at Paris,
Leber at Heidelberg and Vo.ckers at
the Kiel. He has created a new va
rlety of sweet corn which promises to
revolutionize some OF the traditions of
old gardeners.

his practice. The average oculist

Both Wrists Broken

Chokio Review:-While stacking
hay on his farm Tuesday afternoon,
Fred Carlson, one of the prominent
farmers of Stevens township, was
thrown from the stack in such a man
ner that both of his wrists were
broken when he struck the ground.
Mr.. Carlson was doing the stacking
and load of hay was thrown up with
such force that he was unable to

brace himself to stand the shock.
He was brought into Chokio by Mar
tin Johnson for medical attention but
owing to the condition of both Mr.
Carlson's arms it was thought best
to take him to the Graceville hospital
where an ex-ray might be used to de-
termine the exact location of the
breaks. Albert Reichmuth drove Mr..
Carlson to Graceville and afterwards
to his home.

Francis Feehan, formerly district officer
of the United Mine Workers and now super
vising inspector for the state department OF
industry and labor, last opposed the state
strike resolution in the midst of jeers and cat
calls at the recent session of the State Fedora

the midst of jeers and catcalls. Feehan

Recordbreaking production of bituminOus

the Geological Survey. Total production dur

ending July 10, 1918, the previous high mark
Production of anthracite also was greatly in

level for the year. The weeks output was

THE record was achieved through the

he had seen two young men piling railroad

W0rld- Cheering HarUesh.

That is a highly significant and hearten-
ing report which comes from the InteTna-
tional Institute of Agriculture at Rome by
way OF review of this years crop condi-
tions. and forecast of the seasons ahead
Particularly encouraging is the pronounced
gain in Europe's food production during the
last twelvemonth. Countries which were left
stripped and stark by the war have shown
wonderful powers of agricultural recupera-
ton. Their output, in number of instances
is still far from sufficient to meet their
needs. But the cheering fact is that they
have gone to work with a vim and are get
ting substantial results.
Notable, too, is the good average main
tanned by the United States, Canada, Scot
land, Spain and India in the production OF
staple food commodities The 1919 wheat
harvest Of these countries is estimated at
ninety-four percent of last years yield and
ninety-eight percent of the fve-year aver
age. Other crops are summarized as fol-
lows:
Oats production in Spain, Scotland,
Italy, Canada, United States, Japan
and Tunis is give nat 175.569,000 bush
els, or 81.5 per cent of the 1918 pro-
duction, and 92.5 per cent of the five
year average. Corn production in Spain,
Italy, Canada and the United States is
given at 3,016, 072,000 bushels, or lis
per cent of the 1913 production and
1914 per cent of the fve-year average.
Potato production in Scotland, Canada,
an dthe United States is given at 49,
100000 bushels, or 1873 per cent of he
1918 production and 1918 per cent of
the f1ve-year average. Sugar beet produc-
ton in Canada and the United States
is given asS,579,000 tons Of 1000
pounds. or 1856 per cent of the 1918
production, and 1908 per cent of the
fve-year average.
Reassuring as they are. these figures in
no wise lessen the Importance of sustained
effort to increase the worlds food output.
for upon the success of such efforts the still
ing of unrest and the promotion Of prosper
ity largely depend.

Out of Their OqOm Mouths.

~ TIT of their own mouths the New York
" Evening Post answers these Senators
who oppose the United States enter
ing a League in which international dis
putes will be submitted to peaceful arbitra-
tlon. These Senators are vehement enough
in condemnng the coal miners What re-
fuse to arbitrate? Insist upon being the sole
Judge in their own cause? How monstrous
and into1erabIe!" Yet, as the Post points
out, they urge that the United States take
''the same tyrannical attitude"
"The Reed reservation of the treaty,
which Lodge says he does not see how
any Senator can vote against Che did
not see how there could be votes against
the amendments which have been beat

try the right and intention never to
bitrate an international dispute, of which
it wished to retain the decision in its
own hands, and never to listen to the
advice of the League of Nations in such
a matter. This IS an attitude exactly
similar to that ssamued by the coal min
ers."
The League covenant as it stands excludes
from arbitration questions of purely domes-
tic or distinctly national nature, and so
leaves the sovereignty of it's members un-
impaired. This at least. is the Interpretation
on which the ablest students of the cove
nant are observation-disclosures like Mr. Taft
and educators like President Lowell of Har-
ward, as we'll as President Wilson himself
and the Premiers of the Allied governments.
But what does collective wisdom mean to
the collective prejudice of those who are
bent upon disrupting the League of Nations
and the Treaty of Peace itself? What does
consistency mean to those who, while CON
demning the miners tefusal to listen to rea-
soned Justice, would place their country in
the attitude of defying international arbitra-
ton?

THAT is from the prison." he explained
tremendous lights they are, and kept going
all night to discourage attempts at escape
He added, almost sayagely:
ga great waste of electricity call it, The
prisoners in there don't want to escape They
are treated too well. If they were thrown out
they'd fight to get back.
THAT isn't my idea of the proper way of
treating prisoners. l wouldn't mollycoddle
them as the new warden is doing.
"Not for a minute. I'd handle them so
they'd never want to see the place again
Crooks are crooks, and ought to be treated as
SUCH
"But, hold ont" I objected What made
them crooks to begin with? Who made them
crooks? Where did they get their crookish
habtits?''
"They were born with them l suppose"
why not suppose they were born into
them? Why not suppose that they are unfor-
atunate human beings born into surroundings
that suggested wrOngdOing as the natural and
necessary thing, or, at all events, surround
ings that did not suggest right-doing as nat
ural and necessary?
eff you do suppose that and [ don't doubt
the new warden suproses it-you might find
that perhaps great deal more is to be gained
by mollycOddling, as you call it, than by man
handling.
''Manhandling, let me remind you, is no
new thing. 1t is the traditional policy for
dealing with crooks, a policy so old that it's
origins are forgotten.
perhaps we cling to it because of its great
antiquity. But has it reduced the crop of
criminals one whit?
TRY different formula. Rotten surround
ings. rotten men. Decent surroundings, de-
cent men. That, / fancy, is the formula the
new warden is trying. But how well it will
work depends, after all, not so much on the
warden or on his criminals as on what you
and I and the rest of us who have never been
in prison do to help it work.
eff go making life outside prison
walls impossible for crooks, of course they'll
quickly get hack to prison, whether the prison
is hard on them or easy on them. And We'll
be manufacturing brand-new candidates for
prison all the while

ing crooks, not curing them or preventing
them. Don't YOU see it?"
"Bah!" my friend growled. Theory"
Which, I very much fear, is the way most
men still feel as regards the findings and
doctrines Of modern criminology. And posi-
bly, it is because most men feel this way that
the solving of the problem raised by crime is
still remote.
For absolutely, it is society that is to
blame-socety with its liberation of class
privileges social iniustiCcs, preventable dis
ease, dirt, ignorance, and slums. And society
will never purge itself of its criminal mem
bers until it bestirs Itself to root out the man
ifod and remCdiable causes of crime.
That is a historically established fact.

It's a finish fight.
Coal is the circumstance but not the issue.
Back of the threat to paralyze industry and
withhold the nations fuel supply at its
source is a principle of respect for the la"
of the United States and the courts. The
government has determined to demonstrate
that the constitution of the United States is
more vital than the constitution of miners
convention. Injunctions to restrain the
miners from carrying out their strike order
are being sought by the department of JUS
tice from the federal courts. Failure to obey
such injunctiOns will place individual leaders
