ural conditions for the culti-
walton of good malt grain. And through
a long number OF years considerable
quantity OF this grain has been ex-
ported, particularly to Germany, Great
Britain and Norway. Fifty years ago
the Royal Danish Agricultural Society
started a work of research and tnvesti-
CATION for the promotion of the home
cultivation of malt barley, and this
work continued for some 20 years. An
annual malt barley exhibition was held
In connection Herewith. Danish malt
barley has also distinguished itself in
the finest manner in foreign competi-
ton wherever it has been shown abroad.
among other places in Magdeburg In
1884 and repeatedly in England. After
the beginning of the new century the
exhibition of Danish malt barley ceased,
as having reached a standard which
met the claims of the brewing industry
to a fitting degree.
AS is we'll known, however. Develop
ments in recent years have brought
about a sharpening of the demand, so
that now essentially greater importance
is attached to characteristic of quality
than was formerly the case. There has
thus again arisen as an undeniable ne
cessity to set in operation a directional
work aiming at the bringing OF the malt
barley cultivation of the country into
the best possible accordance with the
preSent-day claims of the brewing In
dustry, which demand a greater purity,
greater proteid content and lowered fer
mentative potentiality.

Constitutional
Reforms Order Of Day.
Ell Mercurio, Santiago--Consti-
tutional reform is the order OF the day
In practically every nation on earth
that can justly be considered a nation.
This mainly, is the finding of the
proper equilibrium between the execu-
tive and the legislative powers. In our
own country this bringing of the gov
eminent up-to-date is evidenced In the
substitution of the constitution of 1925
for the superannuated constitution OF
1888. This is no reflection upon the first
real constitution OF our country, how
ever. Any constitution that lasts q CEN
fury with scarcely any notifications Is
good constitution. but in the course
Of such long period conditions, both
within and without the nation, change
so radically that old provisions are no
longer adequate, and in the case OF
Chile were the cause OF perturbAtions
felt all through the country.
In general, constitutional reforms.
particularly in republics, have elevated
the Senate, or higher legislative body,
to an extraterritorial authority. 1t Is
not only a deliberative body, like the
Chamber of Deputies, but supports and
guides the chief executive in matters
of foreign policy and international re-
lation. All other countries, too. have
adopted a system Of proportional rep
resenta Jon.
