FORGERY/(CAPITAL OFFENSE
Under English Law It Was Punishable
by Death Until Comparatively
Recent Years.
Forgeries are not modern crimes.
In 1652, the fifth year of Elizabeth's
reign, the British parliament passed
a special act against forgery "to
amend the small, inlld and easy pun-
Ishment" then in force. By this act
any person found guilty of forgery
was sentenced to pay double costs and
damages, was to be set In the pillory
in some open market town, and there
publicly to have both ears cut off, his
nostrils slit and cut, and seared with
a hot Iron, "so as they remain for a
perpetual mark of his falsehood," the
unhappy forger to finally ldse all his
possessions and be Imprisoned for
life.
In 1634, according to Edward H.
Smith, In the Saturday Evening Post,
forgery was made a "capital offense
without benefit of clergy," which mean1
that a man might not escape the gb-
bet on account of high birth in case
he were convicted as a forger. This
monstrous law remained in effect un-
til 90 years ago, when ,many types of
forgery were taken off the lists of
capital crimes, along with such fa-
miliar offenses as burglary, brigand-
age, picking pockets and stealing
bread.
8treft Nomenclature.
The practice of ving numbers and
letters instead of vames to the streets
and avenues of our cities is so familiar
to us that it excites no thought, ex-
cept of its convenience. But it is a
practice often remarked upon by for-
eigners ns peculiar to the United
States and as evidence of the matter
of facet, unimaginative character of our
people.
tIlstorleal[ dates have been caU, ed
picturesque names for streets. The
French set the fashion in this respect•
Paris has its Rue du 29 Juiilet and its
Ilue du Septembre. This fad has
spread even to South America. Bue-
nos Aires has its Parque 3 du Feb-
rare, its July Promenade, its ]6th of
November square and also its 25th of
May slreet.

Farm Bureau Marketing Auoclatlon
Formed in California to Dispose

(Prepared by the United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture.)
Selling live stock by auction, a plan
started in Kern county, California, In
1917, has now spread through a con-
siderable area of the interior of the
state, especially where large numbers
of hogs are grown. Last year seven
countiesKern. Kings, Merced, Ma-
dera, Stanlslaus, Tulare and Fresno--
formed the Callforuia Farm Bureau
Marketing association and Joined in
conducting auction sales. This asso-
ciation employed a manager and as-
sistant manager who were responsible
for the mccess of the sales. In addi-
tion, each county farm bureau has a
committee in charge of the gales local.
ly. Auction sales were also held In
San Joaquln and Shasta counties. It
is expected that this system will ex-
pand throughout the state during the
coming year and that it will pro ap-
plicable to other products whlcl are
capable of standardization.
The business last year included 183
auction sales at whlcb 543 carloads of
live stock were sold for $1,790,330.79.
It Is estimated that the sales brought
a direct Increased return to the farm-
ers of $166,946.97 over the prices the
stock would have brought otherwise.
This is but one example of the help
given by the county agent in organiz-
ing farmers for selling live stock. One
hundred and three county agents In :19
states, report this service as an impor-
tant feature of the work last year.
Furthermore, ]33 county agents In 14
states report that tley assisted in or-
ganizing live-stock shipping associa-
lions in their counties.

ESSENTIALS TO GARDEN SITE
Certain Amount of Sunlight, Fairly
Fertile Soil and Cool Dralnsge..-
Other Polnt
There are thl-ee essentials to the
garden site, experience has shown.
They are:
Sunlight at least six hours a day;
a soll sufficiently fertile for weeds to
grow upon it; sufficient drainage,
either natural or artificial, to prevent
flooding or excessive moisture.
If a site is notably deficient fn aDy
of these three essential characteristic&
it is not suited for garden purposes un-
less the fault can be corrected.
If one is fortunate enough to be able
to choose among several possible loca-
tions, the New York state college at
Ithaca suggests it may be well to con-
sider the following points•
Nearness to the house for con-
venience in working the garden and in
gathering the products and, in the
case of a town garden, for prbte¢tton
against trespass and theft.
A water supply to insure against
drought,
A gentle south or southeast slope.
A windbreak to the north.
A good, rich loam, that is, a mix-
ture of sand and clay with plenty of
humus or decomposed plant materfaL
Fertility and abundant humus are gen-
erally indicated by a dark color of
the soil,
