Democratic State Central Committee
which met in Baltimore on Thursday Of
last week, designated Wednesday Tx
21st Of July next, - the day for thl
holding Of the State Convention. Oun
County Central Committee willannouncs
in a few days, we presume, the order
of the primary proceedings of the par.
~, and we suggest that provisions b.
made for holding q regular poll, within
defined hours and under the usual for.
malities of regular election, to guard
against "snap judgments" and the con.
sequent discomfort which they involve
However united the party may be a.
regards aspirants for otherplaces, there
are certainly at least two well-de6ned
gubernatorial parties in our county and
both are entitled to fair showing and
. fair showing both can have under the
plan we suggest. A fair fight, gentle
men, and then, whatever the result, a
united voice for the winner of the nom-
nation.
Both Hv and rust have put in an ap-
pearance in the wheat fields of our coun-
ty and apprehension is entertained that
q short yield will be the result. One of
the most successful of our district farm
ers informs US that one of his most
promising fields has been seriously dam
aged by the first, and he further repre-
sents, that nearly his whole wheat crop
has been attacked BY the latter. H.
deed, complaint and apprehension of
rust are very general throughout our
county at this time, but it is believed,
nevertheless, under future favorable
conditions Of the weather, that an av-
erage turnout may be realized. Gene
raj wheat cutting will commence here
within two weeks. More seasonable
weather could not be wished for corn,
tobacco and vegetables than we have
been blessed with during the past ten
days. Two-thirds of the tobacco crop
have already been pitched and there is
now little doubt that a full crop will be
planted. Complaint Of the worm, how
ever, is being heard and in some local
tiles this pest has been unusually de-
structive. A good stand" is the pres
ent subject ofanxiety with tobacco plan
tiers. Corn is growing off finely, and
where it has been kindly treated, pre-
sents a most promising appearance, as
do, also, all garden products. The Col
orado Bug is diminishing and is, per-
haps, preparing to migrate to its native
haunts where, weare malignant enough
to hope, it may stay.
The annual meeting of the stock

The annual report shows the
receipts for the past fiscal year to have
been s5l7,4l2, or s9,751 more than
the preceding year. After deducting
working expenses, the sum of 1882, 785
was left in the treasury, of which $751;
925 were applied to the payment of the
interest in arrears on the preferred con-
struction bonds. If the same sum is
paid every year, the interest account
will be clear in about eight and a-half
years. A considerable sum was invest
ed in permanent improvements.
The St. Michaers talbot county,
Comet says that a gentleman of St.
Michaers and grower Of potatoes,
states that he has discovered by expe-
rience that oak ashes are either certain
death to the bugs or an infallible pre-.
yention of their destruction of potato
vines. The ashes should be unleached
and sprinkled on the vines in the early
morning. The remedy is simple, cheap
safe and certain, and worthy of trial
by those suffering from the ravages of
this most inveterate enemy to the po-
tato.
