CLIMATE AND CROP CON
DITIONS.
Weekly Bulletin Of the United
States Department of Agri-
culture, Maryland Sec
ton.

Pastures are sparse and brown
from Garrett to Frederick
County and in portions of Carroll
and Howard Counties, but else
where they are good. Corn is
caring nicely in all districts, but
the dry weather in the western
counties is iniuring the late crop
Considering the section as a
whole, the corn crop is expected
to be a large one, larger in fact
than for a number of years.
Buckwheat continues good in
portions of Garrett County, but
much of the crop is suffering for
rain.
All vegetable products have
done well in the districts report
ing light rainfall, but excessive
moisture has caused rot and
blight in tomatoes in some local
tiles, and in the dry districts the
crop will be shortened, although
the bright sunshine has FASTENED
ripening. In the northeastern
counties the canning factories are
running full time, preparing
sweet corn and tomatoes, and in
the southeastern counties they
are in partial operation. The
late potato crop is variously re,
ported; in some districts a good
yield is promised, in others the
yield will be short; where straw
was used the tubers are large in
size and many in a hill. Sweet
potatoes are generally reported
as producing we'll. Cantaloupes
are just beginning to be shipped
in large numbers from some OF
the Northern Central counties,
while in portions of the shore
counties the season is about over;
the yields have been large and
for the most part of good quality,
although impaired in some dis
tricts by an excess of moisture
during the period of ripening.
Apples continue in plentiful
prospect in all portions Of Mary
land and Delaware. Pears are
only partial crop. Plum trees are
heavily laden in the Northern
Central counties, and grapes are
expected to give large yields, al
though rotting to some extent
where the rains have been fire.

May Raise Price of Meat.

The butchers of Frederick are
seriously considering the policy of
advancing the price of their wares.
All over the country the trusts
and combines have control of the
cattle and butchering industries.
and when they advance prices the
market everywhere is affected.
Local butchers say they are pay
ing a cent and more per pound on

prices for their own protection

An illustration of the pitfalls
that confront scientific students
is given by DR.. Martin Flicker, a
German bacteriOlogist. Among
various sources of error in work
with bacteria is the glass of the
vessels used, as different kinds of
glass impart varying degrees of
alkalinity to water, and it is
found that some bacteria-nota-
bly, those of cholera-are favor
ably affected by alkalinity. This
novel cause seems responsible for
marked and important discrepan-
cies.

The surface and bottom of the
ocean, as is generally understood,
differ materially i'll temperature.
All known observations of deep
sea temperatures have been ar
ranged on equal projection maps,
from which it is estimated, states
Sir John Murray, that over 80
per cent. of the sea floor is Occu-
pied by water cooler than 400 f.,
; per cent being under 800, while
on the 1913. 100000 square miles
deeper than 100 fathoms no an
nual variations of temperature
have been observed, except posi-
bly, at the line of meeting of the
Gulf Stream and Labrador cur
rents. On the 10,000,000 square
miles of ocean between the shore
and depth of 100 fathoms, the
bottom temperature shows annual
variations. A study of the sur,
face waters leads to the estimate
that over the entire ocean the
area warmed to more than 400 is
never less than 10 per cent. of the
total, even i'll the coolest months,
while it rises to 81 per cent in the
hottest part of the year.
