1TTESTJOSTO GARDENS

The important subject of gardening
is generally given little attention by
the average farmer. The timely els
cussion of this subject by the Deer
Creek Farmers Club and reported in
last weeks LEgis, brought out many
valuable suggestions.
Good, wholesome vegetables will do
much to keep the body healthy, and
to insure an ample supply, the garden
must receive careful and intelligent
attention. For given amount of
time and labor expended, much better
results can be obtained by work ng
the garden with horse. By having
the garden oblong in shape instead OF
square, this can be done with advan-
tage on a comparatively small area.
The garden should be kept free from
trees. Shade around the sides of the
garden will destroy large part, as
the vegetables need tine sunlight
taken by the trees. A small garden
kept in prime condition will give more
satisfaction in every respect than IL
large one which is not properly at
tended After the soil has been got
ten in first class condition, care in the
selection of seed and frequent cultiva-
ton will usually bring the desired re
Snlts

IREOR UII.

Arbor Day is observed with increas,
ing interest each year throughout the
country. The public schools take an
active part in this observance, and
perhaps more is accomplished for
forestry in this way than any other
Governor LOwndes has fixed today for
-Arbor Day this year for Maryland.
It is only within the past decade
that the subject of forestry has re
ceived much attention. The devas-
tation of the forests of the country
has rendered some measures necessary
in order to replace what the advance
of civilization has destroyed That
vegetation has Il great influence on
the climate of a country is conceded
by every one who has considered the
subject. y treeleSs cOuntry becomes
i'll the course of time an arid plain de,
void of moisture. These changes are
not wrought in II few years but in the
course of IL half century the influence
on the climate is most marked.
The observance of Arbor Day III the
public schools is beneficial, not SO
much for the trees planted on that
pressed on the minds of the youth of
the land. 1t is safe to say that the
subject of forestry will receive much
more attention during the next gen
GRAFTON than it has during the present
one.
The establishing of parks through
out the country has been an impor-
tant educational factor toward this
end. In our own State we have the
finest natural park east of the Mis-
sissippi. Central Park of New York
city was formerly a swamp and IA
dumping place for the garbage of the
city. Large trees were transplanted
and the park is today Il monument of
what industry and enterprise can ac-
complish. Druid Hill Park, OH the
other hand, is made up entirely of the
natural forest trees, and comparative
ly little is artificial.
The schools of Hartford have for Il
number of years past, prepared in
teresting programmes as part of the
exercises. The teachers and pup Is
expend extra time and labor to make
these exercises entertaining and in
structive and all patrons who are in
terested in the schools should encour-
age their efforts by attending these
Arbor Day celebrations.

THE NEH ELECTToNL1W

Very few people of the State are ut
of the new election law which has
just been signed by the Governor.
For the Information of the public we
give some of the most important
changes.
The bill provides for a new registra-
ton for all the counties which will
mean much needless expense.
The Governor is to appoint biennial
ly three supervisors of election for
for Baltimore city and for each county.
The county boards may employ clerks
missioners ut such compensation
as the county commissioners shall
fix. In Baltimore there is to
be clerk at $1,000 u year and
Il messenger at $500, and such
temporary assistants us may be neces-
sary. The Governor is to select the
supervisors from four names to be pre-
scented to him by the committees of the
two leading parties.
Nominations are made much as
heretofore. An independent nomina-
ton of person to be voted for all over
the State requires five hundred sigma
lures, three hundred in a cOngression-
al district or in the entire cities of
Baltimore, Annapolis, Frederick,
Cumberland or Hagerstown, and two
hundred for all other nominations
AT least eight days before the election
the supervisors are TO publish the
names of all candidates as well as
questions to be voted upon.
Ballot boxes are to be of glass, with
glass bottoms. Ballots are to be
printed nearly as at present, the ticket
of the party polling the largest vote
for Governor at the preceding election
to be on the left. Each ballot is to
have a detachable coupon, upon which
the name of the voter to whom it is
delivered is to be written by the Judge
of election holding the ballot, who
shall also write lin ink his own name
or initials on the back of the ticket
The coupon is to be detached and
strung before the ballot is deposited
This is device to make sure that the.
voter has voted the same ticket he re
ceived and is not concealing it to carry
outside for use. Each party having ii
ticket nominated is entitled to have
a watcher in the polling ROOM
The ballots are marked by the
voter with pencil instead OF
the stamp, as heretofore. The de
tails of election are not widely differ
ent from the present method except
that there are no ballot clerks, one OF
the judges performing that office. No
one is entitled TO receive assistance i'll
marking his ballot unless he shall
have made oath when he registered of
his inability to read or of some physi-
cal disability, and when assistance is
given it must be by one clerk in the
presence of the other. Specific rules
for counting the votes are &iven. \
mark after All emblem carries all the
names on the ticket excepting such as
are erased or such as are opposite
names in other columns after which
crOss-marks may be placed.

be watched with interest throughout

national contests if this character es-
tabish closer relations between ma
tions, are generally productive of
the best results.

many voters from voting at the Bel Air
municipal elections. 1t provides that
before any person shall have the right
of casting his ballot for town commits
sioners it must be shown that he is
assessed for at least 1925. This will
have the effect of about two-thirds of
the residents being disqualife d.

to the constitutionality of this law and

upon to adiudicate the matter
