CAMP APPOINTED
TO CUSTOMS POST.
Other Bureau Officials Also
NameG-Action Deferred
in Haynes Case.

Secretary of the Treasury Mellon,
upon his return yesterday from
Europe, Immediately took steps to set
up the new Bureau of Customs on s.
permanent basis, but deferred action
on the more disputed question OF the
Bureau of Prohibition.
In an official statement last night
Mr. Mellon announced the appoint
ment of q temporary personnel in the
bureau to full authority. Ernest w.
Camp, who had been acting commits
sioner of customs, was made commits
sioner, the appointment effective
April 16. Such early action on the
appointment of Mr.. Camp was taken,
it was explained, because he is sailing
for Europe Saturday as q member of
the staff of the American delegation
to the Economic Conference.
Other Officials Named.
Other officials of the new customs
bureau, authorized by the last Con-
gress, were named as follows: Frank
Dow, who has been assistant TO
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury
Andrews, to be assistant commits
sioner of customs; Nathaniel G.. Van
Doren and Joseph d. Nevius, former
assistant directors of customs, to be
deputy commissioners. and Thomas B.
McKaig to be assistant deputy COM
missioner.
When Secretary Mellon will decide
about Roy A. Haynes, the stormy
petrol of the Treasury Department,
who was resurrected from a position
of comparative obscurity to acting
commissioner just before Mr.. Mellon
sailed for Europe, remained just as
much a secret last night as ever.
Mr.. Melons action in Immediately
making permanent the temporary ap-
pointment of Mr.. Camp and his asso-
ciates in the Bureau of Customs, how.
ever, was taken as showing that the
whole matter of temporary appoint
ment had been occasioned by the row
over Haines. Evidently Camp and his
assistants had been given titles of
acting, simply to make it look better
for Haynes.
Haynes Opposition Strong.
Opposition to Haynes appeared just
as strong as ever as Mr.. Melon re-
turned to his desk at the Treasury,
refreshed from his trip to Europe.
The Secretary, however, is giving no
indication of his real motives or flu
ture course of action on the subject.
SO both friends and foes of Haynes
are sitting on the anxious seat to see
what Mr.. Mellon will do. The out
standing leaders of the Anti.Saloon
League are strong for Mr.. Haynes,
but it is known that many influential
dry leaders are urging the Treasury
not to reappoint Haynes because of
his past record.
While Secretary Mellon was in
Europe, Haynes temporary appoint
ment set the prohibition agitation
bubbling and boiling in all corners of
the country, provoking public COM
ment and reflections by the press. A
compresensive survey of this opinion,
in all probability, will be filed off,
cially before Mr.. Mellon as rejecting
the attitude of the American people
to the temporary appointment.

SWEET CORN

Paintings of this fine vegetable
may be made up to the middle of July
and even later, if one selects the early
of the easiest vegetables to grow but,
unfortunately, needs lots of space,
making it of doubtful value in very
small gardens. Yet some people like
sweet corn so well that they are will
ing to make this their principal crop
even in a small area. The favorite
varieties at the present time are the
yellow kernel kinds, such as Golden
Bantam, Golden Giant and Sunrise.
Strange as 1t may seem now, these
yellow corns were very slow to gain
popularity, simple because Of the
mental association with yellow field
corn. AS a matter Of fact, the yellow
sweet corns are richer and sweeter
than any of the whites, which are
well represented by Cory, Country
Gentleman and Stowell Evergreen.
The black colored variety, Black Mex
lean, also has high quality.
Sweet corns are generally sown in
hills, that is, in rows in which the
plants are separated by wide spacing.
Commercial gardeners often plant on
q square system so that the cultivat-
ors may go in two directions, thus re-
ducing the amount of hand wedding.
Five or six kernels are deposited in
each hill. Later when the plants are
up, the number should be reduced to
three. Up to a few years ago, corn
was very free Of enemies, but now
there Is the ear-worm, which eats the
