Suggestion and Inquiry

For the benefit of farmers we
would like to tell them Of our re-
cent crow experience on our pea
garden. They got the better OF us,
as the piece was so large, we got the
better Of them by cutting out of
black roofing paper pieces that
looked like wings, tails and heads
fastened them together and put
them on small rocks in the rows of
peas, they came, kept circling over
the piece and giving vent to their
feelings by their musical cav, cav;
no more trouble SO far with the pest.
Has anyone noticed Hackmatack
trees turning yellow? We have
beautiful ones over 100 years old
and a driveway set out about SO
years ago-all in the same condition.
Ihe large ones circle our home caus-
ing great anxiety. fearing distruc-
ton may result coming at this time
of year.

tNew York World.D

Speaking at Columbia University on problems o law enforcement. Assistant United States Distric Attorney John A. Cashin, in charge of Prohibition pronounces Nostead enforcement "a joke. Con gress for one thing he says. does not make sufh cient appropriations The Government has only a55 men on this job the Southern District ol New York and all about fifty needed fot desk and other routine work
 To this impeachment Prohibition Director Pal mer Cantield has little say. But he adds hope fully that each Congress is dry than the last and more rigid in it's volstead achievements and he thinks tha. Federal Prohibition should be twenty one years old before final judgment is passed upon it.
 Just what does Mir. Garfield mean when he says that each Congress is dry than the last? This is true as words legislative fiat. Congress is always terribly dry on that It will respond in words of the Anti-Saoon League commands But how about deeds? How about appropriations adequate to make good the words?
 If then. Congress votes only words one way and drinks and acts other way. just how dry is Congress- And how much nearer success will Prohibition be after twenty-one years than now. af- five years?
