PENAL COLONIES SUGGESTED FOR
 THE ALEUJTIANS
Would be Means of Reform ing as Well as Segre-
 gating Offenders
INTERESTS SOCIETY
Islands Be Wholesome En- vironment, Freedom
 Within Bonds

The New York Times of recent date published the following article
 Conceding that the interests of so- ciety are paramount, let us ask: Is the hardened criminal fit to live or should he be segregated, abandoned, mutilated, exterminated, or perhaps be treated by the psychopathologis Should punishment be imposed for re- venge, deterrence, segregation or for reformation?
 The criminal class being generally regarded by society as an enemy, de- srving only repression under the sys- tenn of incarceration, with elaborate buildings and equipment and expen- sive administration, the mutual antag- onism has yielded little altruistic con- sideration from the public The rule i'll treatment of the criminal has been physical, mental, moral and spiritual repression, placing him in confine- ment where he has little to do but to brood over imaginary injustice instead of giving him the beneficient minis try of expression of his better nature, the right to air and sunlight, land and water-the free gifts of nature-all contributing to his emancipation from evil thoughts and criminal impulse.
 Now, has not out treatment of this class been unwise, inhuman and un- Christian? A criminal of one kind is not criminal of every kind but is capable of development in many ways.
 Under the present regime the pris- oner is turned out, after his incarcera- tion, with a more determined spirit of vengance, to confront the contempt of people with whim he comes in con- tact and to whom he must appeal for a livelihood, or else be led to continue
Seward daily gateway., 1926-01-15

his career of crime. He is disquali- fled for assuming the duties of citi- zenship, is a spiritual wreck and like ly to return to the old life whose tread promoted by prison companionship, makes him an expert in the line.
 The old order of treatment of the criminal has been based upon the pol icy of vindication of law and of re- tribution, while reformation of the criminal has been, and is yet to a great extent, lost sight of. The result has been that vindication of law and ret ribution have made little progress for the betterment of society.
 Instead of a system which is a sur vival of barbarism, the advance of an enlightened civilization demands a diff ferent policy, distinctly based upon re- formation of the criminal that will in- clude, in it's practical evolution his salvation from criminal impulse, re- demption of character, development of physical, mental, moral and spiritual potentialities, leading in many cases to restoration of political and social status. To accomplish this, instead of prisons with segregation the primary purpose, there should be wholesome environment, freedom within bounds, xyif nrIt6 life necessarily under suitable restrain industrial activities, education and the spiritual comforts and ideals of reli- zion. In general, the hope of re- turn to a better life should be promo ted and encouraged and be stimulus toward that life.
 Changing the habit of thought of the criminal, especially in his vengeful at titude toward society, would not only remove the vindictive spirit but open up a new view of life and it's possibil- ities. But the criminal must not be permitted to forget that he has been an offender and that he must strive for his own reinstatement. He should, in short, be encouraged to hope for better things and no longer regard him self as an outcast but as a potential factor of society," With this changed incentive he could, in time, subject to a scientific determination of his con- dition, be returned to the rights and the honors of citizenship and to bet ter companionship.
 We have never tried in our country the plan of segregation through the method of transportation. This might be an extension of the "farm-colony" idea-a great advance. Transporta- tion should not be exile, as formerly
Seward daily gateway., 1926-01-15

nor repatriation, but suspension of cit izenship and not it's revocation. Brit ain pursued a policy of transportation of criminals, in the cast of Botany Bay with very different objectives, yet the Commonwealth of Australia is as high today as any in moral status.
 The separation of the sexes should be considered, in order that i'll incor- rigible cases the race might die out This could be effected, for example, by sending the male convicts to a hab- itable one of the Aleutian Islands and the female convicts to an island of the Hawaiian group, where all could be policed and all provided with teachers, specialists, religious advisers accord ing to their preferences and with fa- cilities of every kind essential to the rehabilitation of character
 Volunteers for this service with an altrustic and American spirit could surely be expected, and employees of the government would be available, all enlistments being for a short term of years with ratation in term of ser vice in consideration of the relief from duty.
 The expense to the State under the proposed system would be less than under the present, since plans could be devised for self-support of the convicts elaborate buildings and equipment would be unnecessary and the cost of transportation need not be excessive. An efficient administration could be realized with harmonious action be- tween Federal and State Governments. But if the expense were more the advantage that would accrue in an economic sense only would be great and the gain spiritually to the nation would be incalcuable.
 In such an environment the prison CTS in touch with the world through journalism, books, the radio, industry and especially in company of teachers and others devoted to the object, a real reformation of many of the class could be accomplished and the state be en- riched by restored citizenship.

FROST PROTECTION
FOR STRAW SERRY BEDS

Strawberry culture has been very
profitable industry in the state of
Washington in the years the crop has
escaped the spring frosts. Heating
or sinudging of any kind seems i'm
practical BECAUSE of the decunbent
post on of the berry plants, whereas in
orchard heating the trees are above
the origin of heat radiation and thus
are benefited.
Since frosty nights usually follow
cunshiny days it was thought that by
retaining, in the soil, some of the heat
absorbed from the sun during the
day, and allowing it to radiate during
the night, an increased temperature
might be obtained sufficient to prevent
the plant from being frost injured.
The Irrigation Branch Experiment
Station at Prosssr, Washington has
carried on some frost prevention work
from this angle. Various Insulating
materials were placed over the soil
shortly before shutdown and were al
lowed to remain over night. Befor :
sunrise the following morning the
soil temperatures were taken beneath
each of the coverings as we'll as in
the open ground. These temperatures
were taken daily for two months.
Heavy paper proved to be an excel
lent insulater but is. awkward to han
die. Unbleached muslin is fairly re-
tcntive but is expensive. A cheap
grade of burlap served very well as
heat retainer and is the least expensive
material of these tried.
One layer of burlap was sufficient
to keep the soil temperature from
eight to twelve degrees warmer than
in the open ground. Two layers of
burlap increased the efficiency only
about ten percent These foregoing
observations are the result of one
years experiment and they will be
continued on larger and more prac-
teal scale at the Irrigation Branch
Experiment Station another year.
The cost of covering an acre of
strawberries is high, although in COM
parison with the value of the crop the
cost is not proh.bitive. A forty inch
width of burlap will cover two rows
of strawberries, where they are plant
cd 80 to 80 inches apart, and would
require 2904 lineal yards to cover an
acre. At nine cents per yard Quot
alton received from wholesale COM
pany) the cost would be S261.36 per
acre. This cost cannot be charged
against the crop for one year hut
should be spread over the life of the
bur.ap which ought to be three years
or more with proper care.

The large cherry holdings of the
Yakima Fruit Growers association
members this year, for the first time
will be graded into three sizes in an
attenpt to establish a uniform grade
Of cherries fer tie market and to in
sure better price for the cherries
in such lots. Last year experiments
were carried on by the association to
determine the possibility of grading
cherries for size and the practice was
found practicable.
Heretofore no special attempt was
made TO pack cherries in regard to
size. They were packed orchard run"
the smaller cherries in with the larg-
er cnes. This caused some lots to be
superior to others and brought a. con-
siderable variance in the prices OBJ
tainsd for the cherries.
The three sizes the cherries will be
graded are: SO to the pound, so to 80
to the pound and 80 and smaller to
the pound. This will enable the asso-
citation to base the actual sales value
accorsi2g to the grade CT the cherries.

SAME HERE

After attracting interest because its
early asparagus rolled to eastern rlaf-
kets this year at good price, kenne-
wick comes right back through cooper
alive marketing sends early peas in car
lets to the east. The price at this time
of the year, of course, is attractive.
In other seasons the growers did not
have sufficient outlet for their peas
and for that reason did not obtain as
good returns as they have enjoyed so
far this year. The situation seems to
be ideal for cooperative marketing.
They have an early product which can
be put on the market at a time when
consumers are willing to pay high
prices.
In the past the growers, by operat-
ing independently of each other, have
been unable to supply the consumers.
Now, by working as a group, they can
take advantage of the natural demand
Tor early garden produce and, because
transportation methods are improved,
they can place their produce in quanti-
ty in far-away markets.
By cooperation they have succeeded
toa degree wholly impossible through
individual enterprise.
The above is an editorial from the
Yakima Herald. All that the Herald
says about the earliness of the Kenne-
wick district and cooperative market
ing applies to this valley for the terri
tory from Priest Rapids to Kenncwick
is the earliest district in the northwest.
Because of that fact it has no compet-
tor for it's early products and is ideal
Tor cooperative marketing.

WEATHER PROPHETS REPORT
CONTINUED from page y


I of po.or thermometers, poor exposure
of thermometers, cxtinguishing heat
ers too soon in the morning, lighting
too soon and also waiting too long be-
fore and lighting up when TIE next
neigl:bor did and not by the thernom-
cter in their own orchard.
The only way to protect the outside
row ,of trees is to place row of heat
ers on. the side or sides from which the
air is drifting. This should be at least
as far out as the distance between two
rows of trees, Ior about 80 feet.
Too many growers are using poor
thermometers. A Good thermometer
Should have the scale markings on the
stem of the thermometer and not on
the back. This prevents any possibility
Of scale displacement and an incor-
rect reading, In order to secure true
air temperature the thermometer
should be sheltered from the sky by
board. An apple box makes good
shelter. Face the open side to the
north.
There is a tendency on the part of
some growers to be overcauticus and
necessary. This is not only a waste
of oil, but the fires are burning low
by morning when they should be 60
ing at a maximum rate in order to
care for the last dip just before sun
ri1s. On the other hand, some of the
growers so to the other extreme and
let some of the buds or fruit freeze
before lighting up. This is not good
practice. A little experience will aid
greatly in the use Of the equipment.
In lighting up do not light all of the
heaters as soon as the temperature
falls to the critical point. Light only
tie borders and enough in the orchard
to bring the temperature above the
danger point. If it gets colder light
more heaters. If the temperature
rises the surplus heaters can be extin-
guishsd. Always use the Thermometer
II your own grove as your guide in
lighting. The temperature in your
neigh';or's giiove may vary several
degrees from the temperature in your
orchard Do not extinguish the
fires in the orchard until the tempera-
ture in an unheated area is above the
danger roint. The coolest period is
Just before sunrise and it is some
time after sunrise before the air is
warmed above the danger point.
