This enterprise of the department of agriculture has been of inestimable value to American iarmers ana iruit growei-s. The bureau has sent its staff of "agricultural explorers' to every corner of the world to make useful discoveries and their work has been supplemented by correspondents in foreign countries and by practical demonstrations at the government's -own 'experiment stations and in its bo tanic gardens which are not maintained as the casual vis itoiMHightUuppose, simply for "show." ' -During thej.iast few years the bureau has brought in to the United States more than 55,000 separate lots of seeds and plantsyAvhich have produced immensely valuable crops. For instance, '"drum wheat", secured from Russia a couple of 'decades ago, now yields American farmers an annual return of .S50,000,000. -Egyptian cotton and Jap';h' hooi, hu jnya and hi sorrows i i .

Sit down with your hoy tonight, and learn from his lips about his piny, Capital Punishment Lewis K. Lawes, warden of Sing Sing prison,says he does not believe capital punishment is a deterrent of mur- r der. "If it is," he asked a Xew York audience, "then why . not have these executions in public and make persons who might commit murder fear execution?" 1 It js not unusual for persons employed by society to I attend to rhegntosorne business of putting others to death, to lie opposed to capital punishment. Warden Lawes has observed that such punishment comes quickly, lasts but ? moment, and entails but little active suffering. Indeed, it has been said, the warden and w itnesses at such affair? 't frequently are more severely punished than the victim, since the horrible event is engraved upon their minds. It is true, that mental turmoil resulting from anticipa tion of such a death often causes physical' pain, but this li mit always the case. Often, too, such suffering is no lost' ! when the sentence is life imprisonment. This is the pun- . isliment which conscience inflicts, not equally, but in in verse proportion to the desert and need of the indivdual. , To the penitent, death may be the means of relief from torture. Were such executions held in public, as they were in. more strenuous times, the institution would prob ably be abolished. The public conscience is not less sensi tive than that of a hardened jailer. Conscience is the most implacable judge and jailer employed by society. Give hint words of advice and cheei and show him the love that he lon for and noeds.
