papers and magazines which continue to
publish articles, pictures or advertisements
of an impure or sensational character"
After lunch public installation of
officers took place, and was followed by
addresses. Richard Vincent, Jr., of Balti-
more county, made plea for more beauti
full home surroundings for the average
farmer He urged that some of the man
ure and labor be spared from the grain
fields, and put on the lawn and flower
beds as well as the garden; and that far
mers cultivate in themselves and their
children deeper interests in a knowledge
of the wonders of nature around them
By request he gave a list of desirable
shade trees, shrubbery, for small lawns.
DR.. H. B. Mcdonnell, State Chemist, gave
an interesting talk on the nutritive and
economical value of foods, using some
charts prepared by Mr.. Atwater, of Z. S.
Department of Agriculture. President
Sylvester, of Maryland Agricultural Col.
lege, spoke in his usual impressive way
of the need of organization among farmers.
He said the idea of our Government is the
dignity of each individual SOUL but it is lost
sight Of in this day of pooling of issues.
Congregate power makes wealth in the
cities and congregate power should make
farer and more wholesome conditions in
the country. We should combine to get
better management of public schools, pub
lie roads and our county affairs general
". He wants support in securing two
laws from next Legislature-for compell-
ing teachers to teach nature studies in
public schools, and for State inspection of
all feed stuffs on the market, the same as
fertilizers are now. In New Hampshire

81 800 Changers went before the Legisla-
turc and got the bill passed
A Grange was then organized at Coles
vile with about 20 members, with f.
Lloyd Fawcett as Master.

Condition OF the Crops.

The weekly crop report of the Weather
Bureau, issued Tuesday, says:
In the lake region and in the States of
the Ohio, Central and Upper Mississippi
Valleys, the Carolinas and Texas the
weather conditions of the week ended May
Sth have been generally favorable to crops
In the Central Gulf States there has been
an absence of rain and crops are beginning
to suffer. Drought also prevails in Flori
da, Central and Southern Colorado. Ari-
IONA and New Mexico, and rains would
prove beneficial in New England, while
excessive rains have interrupted farm work
in Oklahoma, North Dakota and Mime
sofa. In the Rocky mountain and Pacific
coast regions the week has been much too
cool
Excellent progress has been made with
corn planting in the Middle Atlantic States
and generally in the central valleys.
Some corn has been planted as far north
as New York Michigan and South Dakota.
Heavy rains have interrupted planting in
Missouri and washed out a considerable
portion of the crop in Oklahoma. Early
corn is being cultivated as far north as
North Carolina. Tennessee and the south
ern portions of Missouri and Kansas. In
the East Gulf States corn is generally in
need of rain, but in Texas the crop is well
cultivated, growing rapidly, and the early
planted tasscling.
Generally the condition of winter wheat
continues to improve; it is jointing in Hi
nois, Indiana and Ohio, heading in Ten
nessee and North Carolina and further
South, and in California is beginning to
ripen, with prospects for heavy yield in
the st-named State.
Spring wheat seeding has been delayed
in Oregon and much remains to be seeded
in the Lower Red River Valley, in both
North Dakota and Minnesota. Over TIE
southern and central portions of the spring
wheat region the crop is coming up to
good stands and growing well.
The seeding of oats in the more north
erly sections is. about finished. The crop
is making good growth and is generally
promising.
Tobacco is doing well in the Carolinas,
but is needing rain in Florida. Tobacco
plants in beds are growing well and are
generally abundant in the Ohio Valley,
Middle Atlantic States and New England, |
scarce in some sections of Nir-
ginia and Maryland.

Peace to his ashes.
Inspector FOrd's First Report.

The first report under the new tobacco
inspection law has been made to Governor
Lowndes by Chief Inspector William F.
Ford. The report shows a great saving
to the State in the way of salaries and ex-
penses, which demonstrates that the new
law is good one. Mr. Ford says:
Prior to 1898 each warehouse was
managed by separate inspectors and force
OF .h.,ioyes, and was entirely indepen-
dent of the other warehouses; By chap
ter 3l4 in the acts of 1896 the inspector OF
tobacco is placed under the mana cement
of a chief inspector, with Il deputy in
spector in charge of each warehouse
The chief inspector has charge of all
receipts and disbursements, and with the
making of contracts for supplies and 9TH
er purposes The employees of the several
warehouses are appointed by the deputy
inspectors. The result of this reorgani-
Zation has been such an economy in the
management of the warehouses to pro-
duce for the State probably the largest
revenue that has ever been received from
the State tobacco warehouses in any one
year.
The new law was put into operation
and the chief inspector took charge of his
office on May Sth, 1893 The statements
appended hereto, therefore, really cover a
period of not quite eleven months, from
May Sth, to March 3lst, 1899 During
81
paIi to the State treasury the sum of $15,-
'o5,O5 after payment of all expenses of
operation. This is the largest net reve-
nue. that has been received by the State
from the warehouses since 1886. | have
been unable to obtain data for the year
prior to 1886
II may state that the large surplus for
the State is all the more gratifying be-
cause prior to 1893 all Maryland tobacco
went through the State warehouses,
but that in June of last year private
warehouse was opened in Baltimore city,
to which portion of last years crop of
tobacco was sent. Had it not been for
the competition of the private warehouse
the net revenue to the State this year
would have been about $4,000 greater.
The gratifying condition of the tobacco
warehouses today is due to the reform, in
management introduced by your sugges
ton, and to the adoption by the last Leg
istature of your recommendations for the
reorganization"
