Special Notice to DGlinQuents.

Under the Act Of 1898, Chapter 2O4, entitled
Taxes and County Treasurer, the Treasurer is
required Immediately after first day of Janu-
airy in each year to make out list of all delin-
quent taxpayers with description of the prop
erty assessed to them, the district of its Local
ton and such reference as to conveyances as
will render the same easy of identification, the
amount of taxes levied and in arrears with iu-
terest, costs and expenses accrued thereon to
the day of sale, preparatory to advertising
such property for sale. To do the above work
involves very considerable labor and extra
clerical force together with the service of a
legal adviser, all of which will have to be charg.
ed in due proportion to the delinquent taxpay-
ers with the result of increasing the amount of
his tax bill. The Treasurer would like to avcid
all such additional expense and he hereby
gives notice to all delinquent taxpayers end
others whom it may concern, that on all tax
bills paid on or before Tuesday, January 31st,
1899, that there will be no such expense, but
that on and after the first of February follow
ing each delinquent will have added to his tax
bill his share of such expense may have ac-
crued on the day of payment, including adver-
Using, ii publication shall | ave been then
made.
Especial attention is hereby called to the tax
on mortgages and corporations. The Treasurer
has not the address of all such mortgages and
corporations and cannot therefore give each
party infested notice by mail All mortgages,
assignees and corpcr atons will therefore take
notice that their respective interests are liable
to be levied on and sold, aad that to avoid ex-
pepse they should make settlement before the
first day Of February next

Tomato Growing.

A number Of interesting tomato expert
ments have been conducted at the Maryland
Agricultural Experiment Station. The tomato
is the most important as au early marhet
crop, probably exceeding in value any other
crop 1t is grown more largely for canning
than any other vegetable used for this pur-
pose. The statistics show that the annual
packing of the entire country now averages
nearly 8, 800 600 cases.
The tomato leaf blight was destructive to
the trucking interest Of the State during the
past two or three years. The first serious
outbreak OF this disease in this State occurred
near Baltimore city about twenty years ago.
Since that time other sections have been more
or less involved. The disease is caused by a
bacterial germ, and may begin its attack
when the plant is very young in the seed bed
OF at any stage thereafter, 1t always begins
by attacking the older or lower leaves first
and gradually extends upward. The disease
is contracted by The plant in three ways
through the use of seed from disease and en-
feebled stock; through the agency Of the
spores which live ovef in the sol! OF the seed
bed or the field. The spores may attack Other
pIszss besides the tomato. The infection may
also be produced through the agency OF
insect pests. The use of the Bordeaux solu
ton proved an effectual means Of holding
the tomato leaf blight in check. In 1891
spraying with this solution four times pro
duced with thirty-fVe varieties an average
increase in yield of two and fye-tenths ton
per acre Of marketable fruit.

Free Delivery mt Iavre de Grace.

Mr.. NJ. 5. Plummer, special agent OF the
Post Office Department, was in Havre de
Grace last week looking to the establishment
OF free rural delivery in that vicinity.
The free rural delivery means daily de-
livery to every family within a radius Of five
miles Of the city. Every family who resides
in from the public road is expected to provide
box at his gate, in which the carrier will
deposit, and also collect mail to be forwarded.
This is practically placing those who live IN
the rural district On the same plane as those
ri siding in towns aud cities as far as mail
privileges are concerned. This daily delivery
goes on, rain Or shine, and your daily paper
then becomes a regular visitor, not depending
on whether you can spare time to go to the
Office, or in busy seasons, send some one.
Two routes are proposed, one in the Cirec-
ton OF Lapidum, and the other toward Aber-
deem, yet not reaching that town Two
carriers will be appointed at salary # $500
per annum. The section to be covered en-
braces about twenty square miles Of territory.
The free delivery will not apply to Havre de
