E,actrIc Road SURVEYS.

Engineer Troxall and his corps OF sur
yeyers have reached Chester river, opposite
Chestertown, thus completing the survey
of the proposed electric road between
Chestertown and Queenstown, distance Dy
the route surveyed of about twenty miles.
Mr.. Troxall states that the route beween
Church Hill and Chester river was changed
from what was at first expected because Oh
the rugged character of the land for about
two miles bordering Southeast river ana
large marsh bordering the stream, when
would have necessitated heavy treadlng
By the changed route the electric road Will
inter: ect the public road at point Two
miles the other side of Church Hill and
will follow along the public read to Chester
river, distance Of about five miles. Full
permission has been granted to use the
public roads of the county. Mr.. Troxall
stated that with view of reaching Crump-
ton. on the Chester river, eight miles above
Chestertown, a line will be surveyed from
Church Hill to that point, distance OF
about 12 miles. This would also open up
thickly populated and fertile trucking

SCARLET CLOVER GROWING.
A Profitable Product and a Good Fer
ffIfzar

A Profitable Product and Good Fer
tilizer.
The present codition Of the scarlet clover
crop in the neighborhcod of Milford prom
ises to reimburse the farmers for the loss OF
the peach crop.
There is all unusually large acreage OF
this crop in the ground in that neighbor-
hood, the planting having been done with
the prospect Of plowing it under to enrich
the ground. The prospect for great demand
for hay and for the clover seed now prom
ises to make it very profitable crop. The
clover fields are very beautiful. They ap-
pear like ordinary clover fields, Of very rich
growth, just before it blooms. In about two
weeks the clover will begin to blossom.
Instead of the round blossom ofthe ordinary
clover the fields will be clothed in long
spikes of beautiful scarlet color. Unlike
ordinary clover the scarlet clover begins at
the bottom of the spike and grows toward
the outer tip.
Another feature of the growth of the
scarlet clover as farm crop is its value as
fertilizer. When planted for fertilizer it is
p.owed under when about half headed out
In this way it is a good dressing for any
ordinary farm crop. The effect of this il
that very little chemical fertilizers are be
ing sold there.
