Soon after this the island was again deserted, until from the island of Jersey arose a man who was finally to establish the future constitution of Sark. This was Sir Helier de Carseigneur of teret, the in Jersey, to whom, in 1565, Queen Elizabeth granted the island conditionally by letters patent under the great seal of England.

' For many years an artillery militia was maintained, consisting of about one hundred men; now all that remains are a few old cannon, lying disused and half hidden in bracken and gorse on the cliffs, while in the grounds of the Dames house is a fine old bronze cannon which vpas presented to the first Seigneur of 'Sark In 1572 by Queen Elizabeth, and, bears an inscription to that effect," ' The Dames house, or Seigneurie, lies in a sheltered part of the island and, like all the ola houses, is built of gray granite. Appeal to the Dame. Great privileges are always accompanied by grave responsibilities; so that the Dames home may be described as the clearing house of all island controversy. It Is open at any time to any inhabitant of the island who wishes to see her for any reason, and she sometimes longs for the leisure of the tired business man when often both sides of a difficulty are brought to her for final judgment. The Sark parliament is called the Chief Pleas, and It sits three times a year unless called by the Dame in an emergency. The forty holders of the farms allotted originally in 1565, plus twelve deputies elected among the rest of the inhabitants, who now number 675, are members of. the parliament.

(Prepared the Dame of Sark went shopping in the event was news in at least two continents; for La Dame De Sark is the first lady of the only purely feudal state remaining in the world, the island of Sark in the English channel. Sark is the fourth largest of the Channel islands. It lies 70 miles south of England and 22 miles from the coast of France. It Is three and a half miles long and one and a half miles wide; and yet, because of its numerous bays and coves, it has 35 miles of coast. It is the highest land in islands. The cliffs, rising on all sides almost perpendicularly, are covered with innumerable varieties of rock plants and flowers, while below are sandy bays and wonderful caves, whose walls are covered with seaweeds and sea anemones of every color of the inbow. On the beaches may be found semiprecious stones, such as ameand moonstones.

In point of fact, the Channel islands were never a part of England, but part and parcel of the Duchy of Normandy, and as "such, no doubt, took part in the conquest of England.

No venomous beasts live in Sark, not even - a toad I On landing at the Sark harbor, which is one of the smallest in the world, the visitor finds himself entirely surrounded by steep cliffs, and the only means of access to the island from there is by a road passing through a tunnel 200 feet long, pierced in the cliff, and thence by a steep, winding road which leads to the center of the island, where there are a few small shops and four hotels. The highway continues to La Coupee, where the island is divided into two parts. Great Sark and Little Sark, joined by a huge natural causeway of rock nearly 300 feet high and 415 feet long, across which runs a road just wide enough for one cart and horse to cross at a time. On one side of this causeway is a sheer cliff; on the other a sloping way down to beautiful sands. In. spite of its minute size, Sark has a history of no little interest, as it written records begin in A. D. 565, and there is ample evidence of occupation in -- the Stone age. In the Sixth century Saint Magioire, bishop of Dol, In Brittany, established a monastery here, the ruins of which, including an old wall and two chapels, stand just beside the Dames house. Here an order of 62 monks flourished until 1412, when they were withdrawn to the Abbey of Montebourg, in France. Once Pirate - Haunt. Years rolled on and Sark became the haunt of pirates, said to be from Scotland, who were a constant menace to shipping in the channel and against whom expeditions from England were sent out. The island was cleared of their presence, but ruin was left in their wake. It was occupied by the Frbnqh some time early in the Sixteenth century, and it was wrested from them by a ruse, the details of which were recorded by Sir Walter Raleigh himself, who was governor of Jersey some fifty years later, as follows: A Flemish vessel arrived off the coast, and the sailors pretended that their captain was dead and asked leave to bring his body ashore for buriaL On permission being granted, Resistant Varieties Needed to Combat Disease That Is Now Spreading. by the United States Department WNU Service. of Agriculture. Prepared 1 Bacterial wilt of corn, or Stewarts disease, 'formerly believed harmful only to sweet corn, affects field dent corn, too, In much of the corn belt and may reduce the yield as much as 25 per cent. Corn breeding seems to offer the best defense against bacterial wilt The chief method of preventing losses is to plant resistant varieties. The breeding of resistant varieties is already under way and the department has several strains which show resistance. The bacterial wilt attacked sweet corn more severely last (year than it had in recent years, but for the last two years the disease has been increasing in fields of dent corn. The disease is most prevalent on dent corn in Illinois, Ohio, and Indiana, but it occurs throughout the corn belt. Corn disease specialists have known that the disease could occur in field corn, but they believed it comparatively harmless to dent corn. Now a survey of 66 Illinois fields by several of the department workers shows that the wilt definitely injures dent corn in several respects. The chief damage comes from the wilt spotting the leaves and thus cutting down the are of healthy leaf surface. This results in: Weakening the plant so that it is more easily attacked by stalk rots; weakening the plant, making it less resistant to cold; weakening the stalks, which break more easily and frequently; lowering the yield; lowering the quality. Despite Intensive study, bacterial wilt remains a stubborn corn disease problem regarding many phases of which the scientists have only limited Though jobs arc scarce near horns these days.

Feed Crops Set Record ; Plenty for Farm Stock Farm animals will not go hungry this year since the combined world crop of corn, oats, and barley reached record figures In 1932, exceeding the 1931 production by nearly 13 per cent, according to a review of the situation by the bureau of agricultural economics, United States Department of Agriculture. The bureau reports that the movement of the 1932 feed grain crops from exporting countries this season has been considerably less than the movement of the 1931 crops, with corn shipments reflecting a relatively sharper reduction than the movement of barley or oats. Smaller Argentine supplies, increased consumption of corn as food in Rumania due to a very small wheat crop, and the very low level of prices in exporting regions are Important factors reducing corn exports. Several importing countries have also advanced import duties on smallest part of the British empire and the only part which has no public debt; in fact, it has a substantial credit balance. The language of the island officially is French, though everyone speaks English, which is taught equally with French in the schools, so that everyone is bilingual. Among themselves the islanders always speak their own corn.
