Washington, Sept. 10.-While poll
ticians rend the air with arguments
about farm relief, representatives of
the Department Of Agriculture are
flying over the jungles of New
Guinea in hydroplane. trying to
find in that South Sea islands unex-
plored wilds some disease-resisting
varieties Of sugar cane which can be
introduced in the United States.
The expedition is based on the con-
clusion that New Guinea was the ma
tive home Of sugar cane. It is COM
manded by DR.. E. w. Brandes, head
of the Office Of Sugar Plants in the
Bureau of Plant Industry, who is ac-
companied by DR.. Jacob Jeswiet, a
leading authority on cane culture
from Holland; G. E. Pemberton of
Hawaiian Sugar Planters Expert
ment Station, and r. K. Peck Of Ell
gin, ILL.,, the pilot. Pemberton is an
entomologist and Jeswiet has studied
sugar plant breeding in Java.
The party left in April, with q
cabin type plane equipped with pom
toons which would enable them to
land at interior positions of the
island otherwise inaccessible or diff
ficult to reach. The idea had been
considered for several years and was
finally given impetus by a depres-
sion in the Louisiana sugar cane in.
dustry resulting largely from declin-
ing yields caused by mosaic and root
diseases.
These diseases were known to have
been present in New Guinea, and the
Brandes theory was that resistant
or tolerant varieties Of cane would
naturally have developed where
sugar was indigenous. Tests with
similar varieties had been encour-
aging.
A propagation garden was estab-
lished by the expedition at Port
Moresby, where newly collected
specimens have been sent and plant.

ALABAMA ABoLIsHEs SLAVERY

The convictleasing system long has been recognized
as relic of barbarism in penal methods. The major
y Of the states abandoned the practice years ago. Ala
hama chung to until this year. The system probably
will pass entirely out Of the American scene.
The leasing system is bad: not only because it is
marked by refusal Of the state to accept the financial
responsibility Of restraining those who violated its laws
but also because it leads to inhumaniy and cruelty

that human life had little no value under the System
It made little difference whether prisoners were

were the The welfare Of the men was measured
only in terms Of what they could produce and those who
fell below the production standard set by the guards

sentimental methods which are now strenuously al

to defend it.
The fact that the system is being abandoned there is

SOVIET FARM RELIEF

Farm relief is momentous question in the distant
parts Of the world. 1t may dsmay the North Dakota
farmer to learn that the pet political issue Of the yea
can also be an issue some place else.
Large landowners in the autonomous soviet republic
in Russian Turkestan have been driven from their
homes and their property divided among the peasants
They have been relieved Of their farms.
At the same time livestock raisers who possessed
than 100 head Of livestock had their herds
fiscated.
The peoples commissars topped off their program Of
farm relief by issuing decree expeng the despoiled
landowners and the raded herdsmen from the country
There will be appeal if past history repeats itself
in the soviet countries
The magnitude Of the farm relief problem in the
United States is strangely diminished when we con-
template farm relief in Turkestan We still have the
liberty of choice to how farm problems shall be
