Terre Haute, Indiana, gets on the
political map by the action of its Mayor
and police chief, who have caused the
arrest of Earl Browder, candidate of the
Communist party for the office of Presi-
dent, because he has undertaken to make
speech in that city. And Earl Browder
gets his reward in more publicity than
would ever have been accorded him II
this action had not been taken. Pub
licity is just what the Communist can
didate wants. He got it down in Geor-
gia, where he had similar trouble. But
for these occasional displays of zeal on
the part Of parochial officials the coun-
try would hardly be aware of the fact
that there is a Communist ticket in the
presidential field this year.
Communism as hypothesis Of gov
ernment is more in evidence this year
than ever before, largely because Of the
foolishness Of the petty authorities.
Happily they do not constitute the body
of official opinion. There is no serious
danger to the established form of gov
ernmcnt in the United States in the
sporadic undertakings Of wrong-minded
partisans Of . radical change in the mode

Growing demands-especially fem
inine-for the mild cigarette are spur
ring plant breeders on the trail of low
nicotine tobacco.
Nicotine is the alkaloid in the tobacco
leaf which is responsible for its stimu-
lating effects. The relative amount
present in any variety is determined in
part by the environment of the plant,
the method of culture, and the curing
process. There Is, however, a notable
and highly complex hereditary factor.
Nearly 80 years ago botaniSts of the
Bureau Of Plant Industry, experimenting
with Cuban tobacco, secured two strains
in which the nicotine content of the
leaves contained less than one-third as
much nicotine as most varieties grown
in North America. They were poor
growers, however. and at that time there
was no demand which would justify
them commercially.
Recently, according to the genetics
monograph just issued by the Depart
ment of Agriculture, strains of Cuban to-
bacco containing an exceedingly low con-
tent Of nicotine as well as cigarette
strains moderately low in the alkaloid
have been produced at the Kaiser Will
helm Institute in Germany. At present
the Bureau of Plant Industry is working
in cooperation with the Pennsylvania
Agricultural Experiment Station to pro-
duce low nicotine strains by hybridiza-
tion of local varieties with the Cuban
strains, and with the Maryland station by
hybridization with the highly interesting
varieties of that State.
The plant breeders have come to the
conclusion that breeding of low nicotine
tobacco strains is possible. According to
present commercial standards, however,
the nicotine content is not taken into
account by buyers and before the new
strains would become commercially use
full manufacturers would have to de-
velop special market for new brands
Of mild tobacco products.
The Southern Maryland tobacco
strains, according to the genetics hand
book, are of particular interest to the
plant breeder When John Rolfe, hus-
band of Pocahontas, started the COM
mercial culture of tobacco in. Virginia in
1912 he probably grew a SPECIAL plant ma
tive to Virginia and cultivated for many
generations by his wifes ancestors. But
within a few years this so-called nico-
tinia rustica was entirely supplanted by

Smith has abandoned the straight and
narrow path Of liberalism and support
of the common man?
Smith is to come to Chicago for q
speech later in the month. In 1928, when
he was a presidential candidate, Smith
had q great following In Chicago. But
the New Dealers say that Smith has lost
all, or practically all, of his political
influence today. The Democrats will
undertake to shout Smith down as a
friend of the Du Points and other big
moneyed men. They tried that course
after Smiths speech at the American
Liberty League dinner last March. And
they seemed to meet with some success.
It will be recalled that in his March
speech attacking the Roosevelt admin
istration Smith raised the question a.
to whether America was to be ruled
from washington or from Moscow. So
it was Smith, really, who first raised
against the President the cry Of red
support and red leanings, which the
Republicans and william Randolph
Hearst have now taken up.

a species of tobacco whose seeds were
imported from the West Indies and
which gave a better yield and flavor.
There were two varieties of this
species-the Aronoka and the sweet
scented. The former gave rise to the
tobaccos grown in Virginia and over
most Of the United States today. The
latter, is is believed, survives in the
Southern Maryland tobacco and in the
Kentucky hurley, sport from the Mary
land strain. 1t has distinctive proper
ties which distinguish it from all other
reddish brown color, and excellent burn
ing qualities, which make it especially
valuable in cigarette blends.
1t seems to resemble, according to the
genetics report, the sweet-scented grown
in early Colonial days in Virginia, as
far as can be judged from early frag-
mentary descriptions of the latter. al
though as now grown it is not outstand-
ingly fragrant. A peculiar form of the
Maryland, discovered a few years ago,
is of exceptional interest because of its
vegetative vigor and the very large num-
Der of leaves it produces under Mary
land conditions. 1t appeared as a
mutation Normally it does not blossom
during the growing season. Since
Towering and fruiting represent the
final stages in the maturing of the
tobacco plant. and since development
of terminal flowers prevents further up
ward growth, this tobacco may be
thought of as continuing growth indefi-
nitely since it never reaches biological
maturity. 1t was largely through study
of this peculiar behavior that the phe-
nomenon of photo -periodism, or effect
of the length of day on growth, was
discovered by Department of Agriculture
scientists.
Under suitable conditions, says the
Department of Agriculture report, this
variety is capable of producing large
growths of high quality tobacco. Two
recent crosses. one with a black rot
resistant strain, make it much more
promising as commercial crop.
Quite a different problem for the
breeder is the production of a high
nicotine tobacco. The alkaloid, as is
well known. is a virulent poison and is
used in large quantities for the control
of certain insects, particularly the aphis,
and for control of mango or scab on
sheep and cattle. The retail price of
nicotine is now a deterrent to its use.
It is obtained almost entirely from stems
Of low-grade leaf.
There is a promising possibility of
obtaining strain SO high in nicotine
that it will be profitable to grow it for
the alkaloid alone. The best results
thus far have been obtained from the
species grown originally by the Virginia
Indians and preserved by European
growers. Cultivation for nicotine would
be profitable, the plant breeders believe.
II they can obtain disease resistant
variety which viii produce anything
more than 200 pounds per acre of pure
nicotine. Up to date, such production
has been obtained only in exceptional
cases.

Prosperity Issue.

All parties and all candidates are prone
to claim credit for any measure Of eco
nonlic good fortune which providentially
may be the lot of the people. 1t is an
ancient trick, worn thin by generations
of use. Yet it happens that it is con-
stantly open to challenge and correction.
Political interference generally Is any
thing but helpful to business. Trade as
a rule needs independence, and the same
observation may be made for agriculture.
manufacturing and transportation. The
proper function of Government is to act
as referee, if and when invited. When
the State takes sides, chaos follows, and
confusion, as history proves, leads to
poverty.
So it may be wondered If the current
wave of prosperity is justly to be at
tributed to the economic planning of
the New Deal. Many competent authori-
ties believe that good times" would have
returned much earlier if the opportunity
afforded by the depression had not been
seized upon by reformers. Their opinion
is entitled to as much consideration at
the hands of the public as that Of Presi-
dent Roosevelt and the Brain Trust to
the contrary effect. A century hence 1t
should be possible to decide equitably
between the two schools Of thought.
Meanwhile, it should be remembered
that Federal programs to prime the
pump have to be paid for by the wage
earners Of the country.
The question then arises as to whether
or not a synthetic degree Of improvement
is worth its cost. Plainly, as former Con-
troller General McCarl has said, an un-
balanced budget is a national liability
and unguarded spending is an inevitable
prelude to universal bankruptcy. The
debt burden already forced upon the
people is handicap which retards the
pace of their progress. If it is increased.
1t sooner or later must result in q COM
plete halt. Too much of the money now
in circulation has been borrowed, and too
much of the theoretical prosperity of the
present moment can be traced to the
device whereby the administration sold
out the future for temporary, adven-
turous and deceptive partisan advantage.
The New Deal from the beginning has
wished to boast Of its benefactions. It
has educated vast numbers of voters into
believing that it could give them-in fact.
was giving them-something for nothing
Rational citizens realized at the start
that delusion was involved. The prob
lem now is to what extent that knowledge
has been democratized. If the electorate
still is deceived on November 3, it must
suffer four more years of reformation,
extravaganza and mismanagement. Such
is the conservative position. The radicals
mock at its logic. To them prosperity is
something handed down to the masses
by their governors. They will not concede
that genuine economic advancement is a
natural growth, fruit Of unhampered
toll.

Rape may be good seed for cage birds,

Yet those who put out these mixtures

fact that purchasers continue to tell them
that every time they fill their feeders
they take out layer of rape seed an

Similarly. the large Canadian peas,
supposed to be favorite of game birds,
such as partridges and the like, are
placed in many mixtures intended for
such birds as the cardinal, chickadee
