supposed to be incurable. For Il great
many years doctors pronounced it local
disease, and prescribed local remedies,

local treatment. pronounced it incurable.

COrnstalk Possibilities.

Mr.. Pirates, of St. Louis, who is con-
nected with cornstalk enterprise at Ow-
ensboro', KY, and has given the product
careful scientific study, was in New Or
leans the other day and talked entertain
ingly to Picayune reporter with regard
to the possibilities of the cornstalk. 1t is
his candid opinion that within a few
years the farmers of the country will be
receiving from SIS to $25 per acre for
their cornstalks Mills will be establish
ed in the South and the other parts of the
country, he says, and pretty nearly the
whole crop of cornstalks-at any rate,
that part of the crop which is grown on
farms contiguous to railway lines-will
be used in the mills The market for the
manufactured products will be staple ar
ticles in constant demand.
Of the products that may be evolved
from the matured cornstalk-the stalk
which has borne its grain-Mr. Prater
enumerates cellulose, celluloid, smokeless
gunpowder, lacquer. cattle feed, roofing
material, and material that will answer
every purpose of papier mache. Green
stalks, he says. are rich in glucose, and
will yield "a better quality and finer su-
gar with less expense that can be made
from the cane of Louisiana"

A Useful Organization.

The twenty fifth annual meeting of the
Montgomery county farmers convention
was held at Sandy Spring on Tuesday
There was large attendance.
President Miller said he believed this
to be the oldest organization of the kind
in the country, having its origin in the
three farmers clubs that have long been
a feature in this community To the
Influence of these clubs and the conven-
ton is due in great measure the fact that
the section of the country radiating ten
miles from Sandy Spring has become one
of the fairest sections in the State. An
interchange of views and experiences,
together with an intelligent cultivation of
the soils and careful study of the food
requirements of the various crops, has
had an effect on the community that could
be followed with advantage by other sec
tions of the State.
Dr. Francis Thomas read a paper
Illustrating the fact that with all the
advantages of scientific farming and CO.
operation the lot of farmer is not always
a happy one, and there is a continued
struggle for an improvement of condi-
tiOnS.
In the discussion of Dr. Thomas paper,
Mr. James B. Aver, of this county said he
thought dairy farming offered relief.
He related his own experiences in the
northwest and how on account of climate
and other reasons. he came to Maryland,
and bought Il farm near Washington
Then he began dairy farming and is salts
fed with the result.

Farmers and Fruit-GrOWerS.

Tillers of the soil from all of the States
in the Union have been invited to attend
farmers and fruit growers congress to
be held in Sanford, Fla, in March. The
Sanford Chronicle predicts that much
g ,od must result from the congress, both
to the farmers and to the State. 1t says:
In respect to fret ght rates, particularly,
delegates to the congress will be enabled
to accomplish great deal of good. The
c Congress can take up this delicate ques-
ton, and by intelligent discussion acquire
a more satisfactory knowledge of it. That
the movement will attract wide attention
is evidenced through comment already
made in the State press. From Florida
the word will be passed along the line,
and March will see great concourse OF
people in Sanford to deliberate upon the
needs of the laborer on the truck farm, in
the grove and behind the pillow.
