SEED WHEAT TREATMENT NEG.
ESSARY THIS FALL

Treating of seed heat in practical

land.
According to surveys made earlier
in the year by F. w. Oldenburg,
agronomist for the University OF
Maryland Extension Service, and
county agents, it is probable that ap
proximately one-third of the current
years crop will be damaged by smut
and the producers of it will sustain
losses ranging from five to fifty
cents per bushel. For the State al
whole, the loss is estimated al
close to half million dollars.
Another third of the crop, it is es
timated, was saved from loss as &
result of the extensive use of copper
carbonate dust in treating seed
wheat last fall. Practically all
fields examined this year and known
to have been planted with treated
seed, were found free or nearly fire,
of the disease. In some cases where
the treating had not been done care

PRACTICAL CRIME PREVENTION

PRACTICAL CRIME PREVENTION
Major crimes of violence have de-
creased materially in New York City
since 1925, according to report by
the Baumes Crime Commission.
Where there were 3O8 cases of muir
der and manslaughter in 1925, the
number dropped to 2S9 in 1925. and
in 1927 went down still further, to
27S
OF the Baumes Law provisions the
most important is that which pro-
vides life Imprisonment for criminals
ON fourth felony conviction. IN
New York it has proven a restraining
influence, and thoroughly justified
measure. Logic would tend to show
that law-breaker who attempts
four major ravages is habitual
criminal who must be permanently
removed from society.
A modern movement in crime sup
preston and prevention has been
toward gathering crime statistics
that afford ready and accurate sur
vey of the crime situation. This
work cannot be overestimated. and
Senator knight, chairman OF the
subcommission. says of it: THE
Commission believes that complete
and accurate statistics of crimes
committed is absolutely necessary to-
determine the cause of crime and to
permit the enactment of the best leg
islation to prevent and punish the
commission of the crime"
New York has demonstrated the
success that comes from scientifical-
ly and practically lighting the men,
ace of the criminal. Quick justice
and sure punishment are certain de-
torrents.

PUBLIC HEALTH ACROSS THE
ATLANTIC

Public health activities and public
improvements in Italy, under Mus
solini, are described by DR.. Wyatt
w. Kendall, Chief of the Bureau OF
Chesistry of the State Department of
Health, in report to the State
Board Of Health. DR.. Randall re-
turned recently from visit to Italy.
France and England in connection
with which he visited state ana spec
ial laboratories in Rome and Lon
don.
DR.. Randall was especially impress
sed by the work that is being done
to rid Italy of the disease-distribut-
ing mosquito. Swamps are being
drained and many malarial districts
are being reclaimed. The result has
been beneficial not only to the health
but to the pocket books of the resi-
dents. Each year large areas of
fertile land have been placed under
cultivation, and valued crops includ-
ing cotton, tobacco and other staples
not usually cultivated in Europe,
are being grown on them with sue
cess. REPRESENTATION is also being
carried on, on large scale; noun
tain streams are being harnessed to
provide electric current and public
highways are being improved in
every direction.
Remarkable results have been OBJ
tanned by the governmental agencies
in, connection with the food supply.
"In spite of the astonishing, increase
in the population in recent years, :"
the report continues, "the volume of
agricultural products has grown SO
much more rapidly that consider
able surplus is available for sale out
side of Italy.
Until recently, the farms and
market gardens of Lombardy and of
the Italian campagna were levied
upon for much of their produce to
feed the capital. Now, Rome Is
largely Independent of them, in spite
of its great population and Lom-
hardy and Emilia are exporting their
surplus and are feeding consider
able part of Northern Europe.
DISSEMINATION of milk is only be-
ginning to make its way in Italy and
the same may be said with regard to
the sale Of milk in individual con-
tainers. The protection of food
from flies and dust, when placed on
sale in markets and shops, is some
thing new in Italy; yet it was pleas
ant to note that care in handling
such food stuffs is becoming COM
mon.
Because the water supply of most
Italian cities comes directly from
nearby mountain sources, there has
been up to this time, little call to in
troduce publication plants. Rome
is supplied today with an abundance
Of pure water by six Of the seven
taqueducts constructed eighteen CEN
turtles ago and but little changed
since. Only one of these supplies
is today restricted to factory use.
II the city continues to grow, and
especially, if the per capita consump-
ton of water increases as it does in
most places. it will probably be nee
essary to make use of the water of
the Tiber and to construct suitable
plant for its purification."

THEN she returned to France.
Workingclass Socialism and class
Syndicalism were just re-awakening.
She took her place among the Anar-
chists, but without ever losing sight
Of the exigencies of the true revolu-
ton, of which she used to say: eff it
does not destroy the whole of the old
society, it viii always have to be
begun all over again"
At one of many stirring and un-
settling political meetings she cried
to the proletariat - eff you want
your place in the sun do not beg for
it, do not ask for it; take it."
She was imprisoned, dragged from
prison to prison, ill-treated, and out
ragged.
In London, where she went preach
ing to the exploited and oppressed
a fanatic fired at her, but only
wounded her in the head.
She assumed the defense of her
clumsy would-be assassin, and begged
the court to acquit him. He was not
responsible, she said, for the bad in
stincts which disgraceful education
and an evil order of things had rooted
in him.
Once again, this gesture aston
lshed, tupefied-caused some to
catch glimpse of the depths which
there are in the cause of the Revolu-

Temperatures judged it easier and
cleverer not to understand it.
For the rest there was never a
human being more unrecognized than
this woman. She was too great to
be widely understood. Those who
fcould approach her worshipped, re-
vered, and understood; but they van
ished completely, for they were hum
bic folk. Scarcely even today is this
figure put in its right place so that
it can be seen how nuch-in perplexi-
ties and tragedies-she has person
flied the essence of the proletarian
and revolutionary idea, and the agon-
lied cry for equality. She put the
people on their guard against the
demagogism of the middle-class and
of the false democrats" and she bad
the courage and the insight to pro
claim that there is no other mean
than violence for breaking the chains
of the people.
