wheat which averaged 1896 bushels
per acre; John LeSourd takes the sill

l.. Hancock the bronze medal and
$3.50 in cash with 81.24 per acre
Island county notified the Farm Jour

that sch was going after those wheat
prizes hammer and tongs. and she
got them all.
The northwest corner of Washing
ton captured all the wheat prizes,
northeast corner Of Maine (Aroos-
took county, captured all the potato
prizes. But right there the blanket
ing of prizes stopped. In the case Of
state got more than a single prize;
and the contest was stiff one, par
ticularly with corn.
This great national crop contest
was announced in 1918. long before
any one believed the war could be
ended that year. 1t was intended to
stimulate production of six great
crOps-corn, oats. wheat. potatoes,
cotton and alfalfa--each of which
would help to win the war and 10
feed or clothe humanity after 1t was
over. There were gold, silver ana
bronze medals and prizes OF $1,00o'
$500 and $3.50 for the best three
yields OF each of the six crops. Ana
it was great big fight clear to the
finish with most of them. state eX-
tension departments entered their
own state corn contests in the larger
national one of the Farm Journal
three states entered nearly l,oo'
contestants for alone. Farm bureaus
and county agents, state departments
of agriculture, farmers organiza-

Well, the tumult and the shouting
are over, and Washington stands out

in Washington. People who once
thought of Washington as the couh-
try which produced chiefly apples
and Klondikers will learn something
about its real agricultural possipiii-
ties-and when they add TO that
knowledge a bit of information ABOUT

sponsible for her wheat, Washington

which the Farm Journal SO cheer

Oxford. Eng, Jan. 81, 1920.
1t has been said that the politica.
issues OF Great Britain are usually
the American issues of five years be-
fore. ! am not prepared to defend
this view as whole. Often, l think.
the order is reversed. But there is
one great question before the British
people today which bears out the
axiom. / mean the prohibition ques-
ton. Americas experiment is so
novel and so large scale that it was
bound to attract great deal of at
tention on this side of the ocean
Local conditions, too, have tended
to bring the question into prom,-
nence. During the war rigid restric-
tons were placed upon the sale of
liquor, both as to hours and guam"
tity. The good results Of this policy.
though comparatively small. are gen
orally admitted. Lord Northcliffe's
papers, and especially the Daily Mail,
have been strongly anti-prohibition,
yet the Daily Mail Almanac for 1919
attributes the greater part of the de-
crease in crime during wartime 10
the restrictions have mentioned.
So far as the press is concerned
this is almost an isolated instance
Most of the best newspapers in Eng
land have not only been unfriendly
toward prohibition, but in my opin-
ion have engaged in deliberate cam
paign of misrepresentation regarding
the movement. For example, the
Times, whose articles on foreign af-
fairs are usually considered authori-
tative. published early in December
an article pointing out that prohibit
ton in America was entirely ineffect-
i've, since a liquor dealer in New
York had written to distillers in
Scotland that he could use a consid-
cradle quantity of whisky at Christ
mas time if promt delivery could be
guaranteed. Anyone familiar with
the situation could tell at glance
that the order was given on the
chance that the wartime act would
be repealed or declared unconstitu-
tional, giving a few wet weeks in De-
cember and January. But the article
made no mention of the special cir
cumstances, and seemed deliberately
framed to give the idea that the con-
stitutional amendment was already
in force and was ineffective. Ex-
amples of this sort could be quoted
indefinitely.
During the last week or two the
press has quoted down considerably
on the subject, and has even pub
lished some favorable material. Lord
Leverhume. the great soap manufac-
turer, returned the other day from a
visit to the United States, and gave
to the press a statement in which he
praised the results of prohibition in
America. and pointed TO the great
financial saving it is effecting. "They,
our creditors" he said. ARE saving
money. We, their debtors, are vast
ing it," So serious is the economic
situation here that suspect the press
are afraid that in few months they
may find it necessary to turn around

and support the movement.
In America we used TO think that
the liquor industry was deeply rooted
in the life of the nation, and especial
ly in politics. The. difficulties here
are even greater. Drinking is much
more common and is. except in the
lowest circles. fairly orderly and re-
spectacle. A few years ago il was
said that the surest way to be raised
to the House of Lords was to make Il
success of the brewing industry
Brewery shares are widely distrib-
uted among the people; millions of
of England lergymen. In Oxford
colleges, not only is drinking freely
permitted, but liquor is obtainable in
unlimited quantities from the college
cellars.
But these difficulties are being
overcome. Even in this conservative
old university there is strong pro-
hibition sentiment. Last week /
opened a prohibition discussion in the
debating society of my college. All
the ancient exploded arguments with
which we became so familiar at home
10 years ago were advanced against
the proposition by people who honest
ly believed they were fresh and orig
inal. and for an audience for whom
they had the charms of wit and nov
city. But in spite of the ttmidity
which some experienced when il came
to voting, the society was only s. to
II against prohibition. That will not
seem remarkable to those who read
this, but five years ago the question
would have been laughed out of the
house.
The organized prohibition move
ment in this country is in the hands
of the United Kingdom Alliance.
society somewhat like the Anti
Saloon League. though it has up to
the present time been much more
ladylike in it's methods. few
months ago the Alliance invited Mr..
w. E. Johnson of the Anti-Saloon
League to- England to make a series
of speeches. He came, and was
greeted with torrent of vulgar abuse
from the press. The medical stu
dents of the University of London
broke up one of his meetings, and
mauled Johnson very severely, put
ting out one of his eyes. The pro-
ceeding was all the more barbarous
in that Johnson Is an old man, and
suffers from serious heart trouble.
This action naturally produced
reaction, and the students are very
generally condemned by public oI,in.
ion. The king and the lord chancel-
lor have publicly expressed regret.
Incidentally, the movement has re-
ceived great deal of valuable pub
LEFTY.
The Alliance forces urge, not the ,
adoption of complete pro-
hibition, but local option system
permitting a fair trial OF prohibition
in communities which are ready for
it. Such a system, in connection with
a widespread educational campaign.
will. in my judgment. bring about
prohibition in Great Britain within
