When an improved variety Of seed
is very badly needed to make up a
national shortage Of a commodity, the
natural increase Is not always rapid
enough. One way In which an I'M
natural speeding up may be secured
is shown by the work of the United
States department Of agriculture with
flaxseed. Foreign supplies Of fax
coming into the United States we're
severely reduced during the war and
an increase of fax acreage became
imperative. A large number Of pedi-
gree selections and increase plats of
the best varieties were grown during
the summer of 1918 at the experiment
station at East Lansing, Mich. In the
fall of that year selections of seed of
various strains were taken to Porto
Rico, and an Increase crop was grown
during the winter. The increased
supply of seed thus produced waf

Conditions In Mexico were de-

ten years. and that. left solely In the

SWEET, OF THE NEW YORK ASSEMBLY

Thaddeus G. Sweet, speaker of
the New York assembly and the man
responsible for the suspension and

entered a long defense of his attitude
at New York city public banquet.
Mr. Sweet not only condemned
the Socialists and defended the action
Of the assembly, but he referred TO
the action of Charles e. Hughes in
the early stages of the case as "hasty
and ill-advised." He said there was
no room In this country for "traltors"
and that he could find no difference
between the Socialist party and the
Communist party, and referred to the
Socialists as "these five undesrables."
He also contended that the proceed
ings at Albany had been mlsrepre-
scented to the people. Speaker Sweet
in part said:

that the time to smash riot is at
