Wheat Crop Prospects.

The Republic prints reports on the pr'
poets of the wheat crop from 60 counties
in Missouri, 40 in Illinois. as in Kansas
40 in Indiana, 33 iu Kentucky. and 1S in
Michigan. The reports show that there
is an improved condition in all these,
each State being taken as a whole, Mich
igan being the lowest, 107 per cent. OF
last years condition, with the greatest
Improvement in the mild winter, absence
Of late freezing and late frosts, few bugs.
&C., being accountable for the G g,nerally
foe stand in til, $. States. There is u de-
creased average in al the States except
Kansas, which averages III per cent. of
last years acreage. (probably too high.
but sufficient to indicate a much greater
breadth OF winter wheat sowing the ye4r,)
and Kentucky. which has the same
breadth as last year Missouri is 80 per
cent, Illinois 80. Indiana 9Sa, Michigan
80. The wheat is reported strong, vigor-
Gus and of good color everywhere. except
in Michigan, where damage was wrought
by alternate freezing and 'hawing.
To summarize, the average condition
of the six States compared with last year
this time is 1855 per cent the average
acreage 106a per cent, indicating a ire
mendous yield of winter wheat this year.

during the morning session in passing upon
several accounts for road and bridge work
that had been done. The several supervisor S
were on hand, and during the afternoon ses-
sion they received their instructions for work
during the coming season. They we're ordered
to get their teams and appliances in order,
ready to begin work on the roads on Wednes-
day next, May ls,, and the supervisors we're
advised to employ the interval in riding over
their respective districts and locating those
places in the roads that required immediate at
tention and to move their corps as rapidly as
circumstances would permit from one point TO
another until the impossible places that now
exist ia the roads were repaired. After that
has been accomplished a more systematic
method of working could be adopted. The

Congress BY law has provided for the eb-
sefvance Of the anniversary Of Washn gton' 3
ina us ration, on April Both, rs a national
holiday. Pr. sident Harrison in his preclama-
ton calls stte ntion to that fact, and suggests
the hour Of A. NJ, as the time for the people
to meet at their places of worship for pray er
and thanksgiving. The Maryland l.w relat-
ing the legal holidays, after bsming those
which are fixed by the act, provides that all
special days that may be appointed or recon-
mended by the Governor of This State or b.
the President of the Uui,ed States as day OF
thanksgiving or fasting aBd prayer, or other

holidays. In Washington i, is thought that, ss
in case of Thanksgiving Day, supple ments

Heavy S0O&0hent
The Supreme Court Of Pennsylvania has
sustained judgment IN the suit of J. NJ. Moy-
er against the Southern Mary railroad
company, said 10 be the largest Judgment ever
recovered BY an Individual through that court
The amour, was 1924 900, and with interest
added now reaches nearly $3.50, 900. 1t is
claimed that Col. s. S. Smoot, president of the
Southern Mar, land road, became indebted 10
Meyer for $3.50, 600, and the company was in
deAted to Smoot and had given him nominally
$500, 900 of its securities, though the compan y
still held them in its possession. Moyer began
action to obtain possession of these securities
Meanw lille Col. Smoot made an assignment to
Col Darling. the purpose being, as alleged by
Mr. Meyer, to defeat his claim. In 1881 it is
asserted the railroad company Cancelled the at
tached stocks and bonds. and issued new ones
in their stead. The remaining bondholders
then took action to have Col Moyer's attach
ment set aside. but the Supreme Court ruled
against them and sustained the judgment OBJ
tained in the lower court.

Fodder C"ra.
The third bulletin issued by the expert
mental station at the Maryland Agricultural
College is devoted to experiments made at the
station in gro~ing foider-corn and fodder

matter for the practical farmer. II says
"The condition Of the worn lands of Marylrnd
and adjacent States has led to general reeof.
milton Of the value of keeping more livestock
on the farm, particularly TO increase the sup
plies of home ma de maDures. If the animals
can be so managed as to pay all costs and
may be considered good farming. In this con.
nection economical methods of producing a.
abundant supply Of forage are stodied. The
Indian corn or maize is the plant generally
depended upon in this section for ieldinE tht
largest quantity of good fsrage r fodder, pei
aere, a. the least cost. Closely allied to corr
are the the various forms of sorsh hum little
used for forage in this country. but gradually
becoming better Known.
''Where corn is grown for fodder, rather
than for it's. seed or grain. very different
methods Of treating the crop are practiced. A

To Parcel the Omces.

Now that the squabble over the flee OF
collector of internal revenue is at an end and
Mr.. F. Suowden Hill, of Prince George s
county, has secured the prize, the next thing
in order is the parcelling ont of the many
smaller places under him, and in this the fight
and scramble has already begun. Charles
county furnishes numerous applicants for these
positions, as the fact that this office is not
controlled or hedged in by any civil service
requirement makes them very desirable and
more easily attainable. Doubtless some of the
go ID Republicans here. both black and white,
will secure places. but is impossible as yet 10
say who the fortunate ones will Re. Mr.. H II,
tits said will assume charge Of the Office on
May 10th, and as it will take him some little
time to familiarize himself ~ith his duties and
the workings of the Office it may be that no
appointment will be made for several weeks
to come 1t has been definitely settled that
Thomas Parran, Jr., of Calvert county, will be
made chief deputy. the place now filled by
Gen. Chapman, but beyond this hothisg has
been fxei. Dr. Geo. D. Mudd and B. G.
Stonestreet are mentioned MS the probable
deputy collector in charge of the Washington
Office, hut if these two get ID fighting each
ether for the place in all probability third
man will step in and capture the prize.
Speaking Of DR.. Nudd. we heard in Baltimore
on Saturday that he had already expressed
preference for the position Of cashier at the Gus
tom house, the place now so acceptahly TILED
BY s. Cox, Jr but as the chances seem to be
slender for on early change in the customs de-
partmeut in Maryland the Doctor might be in
duced to accept a place that would come TO
him earlier. Should be get the Washington
deputyship doubtless Mr., Stonestreet will be
taken care of elsewhere, probably in the Bal,.
more Office ss it seems to be generally con.
ceded that be will not be LETT out in the distri-
button. Mr.. F. D Mudd is said to be work
ing for a elerkship, and Sylvester Nudd has
put in his claim as gauger or storekeePer. II
SYDNEY secures all this he may be accused Of
nepotism, as there are many other hungry
ones all over the county who are looking With
longing eyes at these plums. Mr.. Hill will
have his hands full in sorting out and arrang-
ing the many applications and petitions that
will be presented to him within the next few
weeks, and until all The places at his disposal
are fl led be will not find bis path stre~n With
roses. We can only say TO our Charles county
applicants to pitch in and win, boys, you are
as much entitled as any body else and il will be
your own fault if you get left.

death of Mrs. Annie E. Cough, beloved wife OF
James H. Cough. which occurred n, the home
of her husband, near Neaport. on Friday last
of heart disease, aged about 43 years. Mrs.
Cough was sick bu, short time but was fully

robbed death of its sting and fear to this truly
Christian lady. Her loss iu the home and
social circle where she was wont 10 move, i'll
