Verdict Received With Hearty
 Cheers by His Friends
END OF THE INVESTIGATION
Chief Took Stand and Explained to the Satisfaction of the City Council His Management
 of Fire Department.

J. T. Mullin, chief of the Birmingham fire department, was acquitted by the City Council last night of the charge of appro- priating to his own use money and property belonging to the city The announcement of the vote by which he was acquitted was received with the utmost satisfaction by the two score or more men who had gathered in the Mayors office and the hall adjoin- ing the council chamber and immediately some one proposed three cheers for the chief, which was given with hearty good will. Before the echoes of the cheering up- stairs died out the fire bell tapped one time, and the crowd in the street in front of the city hall sent up a mighty yell Friends rushed around the chief to con- graduate him and to shake his hand.
 The result had been anticipated long be- fore it was announced, and there was no surprise on the part of those present.
 The City Council met at o'clock to re- sume its investigation of the charges against Chief Mulln, and it was evident before the Mayor called for order that the board intended to dispose of the case before adjourning. When the Mayor rapped for or der there were present Mayor Drennen, AL dermen Wheeler, Rainbow, Camp, Kerr, Mcknight, Moore, Williams, McNally, Alt man, Graham, Heidt and Jones.
 The first witness called to the stand was J. Locascio, who said:
 q knew an Italian who rented the West End fire house, and he sent word to Chief Mulin by me that he had had bad luck and that he had to move away. He wanted the chief to be easy on him. He owed me some money and have never received it from him"

MARCH AND THE LION.


SOMETHING BETTER THAN THE OLD SAW.
The saying about the lion and the
lamb in March often prove false, but
there is another and better one which
is literally true. When March comes
in and finds you taking Hoods Sarsa-
parilla to purify, enrich and vitalize
your blood, you expect, when it goes
out, that it will leave you free from
that tired feeling and with none of the
boils, pimples and eruptions which
manifest themselves because of impure
blood in the spring. If you have not
already begun taking Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla for your spring medicine, we adj
wise you to begin to-day. We assure
you it will make you feel better all
through the coming summer.

THE following paper was read by DIR.
Joseph r. Owens, Register of the Mary
land Agricultural College. at recent
meeting of the Vansville Farmers Club,
held at his residence, BLEAK House,
Hyattsville:]
am aware that the Vansville Farm
ers' Club always expects an essay
from the host of the evening. l am
equally sure that | can add nothing to
their fund of agricultural knowledge,
and so l will endeavor to interest them
for awhile with some recollections OF
mine as to the agricultural conditions
and methods of Southern Maryland
fifty years ago. At that time there
was much agricultural activity every
where in the State, and | was told had
been since 1910. For some decades
prior to that date an opposite condi-
tion prevailed. Under continuous cul-
ture for century or more, and i'm
providcnt culture at that, lands former
ly fertile had become exhausted Of all
elements necessary for plant food and
had been turned out as valueless, while
in many instances their owners had
emigrated to the fresh and fertile
prairies beyond the Alleghanics.
a wonderful change in the character
or condition of these worn out lands
commenced about 1910 from the very
general use of Peruvian guano, lime
and red clover In that year guano
was first used in England and the
United States, and during that decade
very largely used in Maryland, help
ing with clover and lime to restore
quickly to fertility many lands for
years given over to broomsage.
Large yields of com, wheat and to-
bacco resulted; prosperity was appar-
ent every where; farm buildings were
improved and renewed; pure bred live
stock were sought after and new in
terest manifested in agricultural pur-
suits. Such was the condition Of
Southern Mary land in 1850 as l re-
member it. The old american Farmer
which, in 1874, came into the posses
sion of the late Samuel Sands welded
a wonderful influence in the line of adj
vanced agriculture. 1t was regular
visitor to many households, and it's
columns were filled with communica-
tions from farmers of the State.
Clubs, such as the Vansvillc Farm
ers' Club, except for the social feature,
met regularly in almost every school
house.
AGRICULTURAL EXHIBITIONS.
The annual meetings of the state
Cattle Show" as then called, as we'll
as the meetings OF the county agricul-
tural societies, were largely attended
by men and women who came 70 see
fine stock, farm produce, implements
and machinery.
They were always addressed 10y some
more or l,ss prominent speaker, Of
course on agriculture, and he was either
resident of the State or county.
At these annual meetings, or fairs
as they are now termed, there was no
horse racing, wheels of fortune or other
gambling. The exhibit was purely an
agricultural one, and apparently no
other attraction was required to ensure
a large attendance of farmers and their
families, for, at the period of which !
write, there was an enthusiasm among
farmers for their profession which it is
difficult now to believe ever existed,
The Prince George's enquirer and southern Maryland advertiser. (Upper Marlborough, Md.) 1882-1925, 1900-03-09

cultural knowledge; with the expert
mental station sending out everywhere
over the land the results OF practical
work, and the institute meetings dis
cussing improved methods, to say
nothing of the agricultural journals Of
the day; with all these aids at hand
(and no one will say that they are not
valuable aid for the advancement of
the farmer), tell me, why it is that
Southern Maryland lands have fallen
so greatly in market value, and les
sened as very much of it has in pro-
ductive capacity? Why is it that her
farmers have so generally grown poor
er, her people in large measure lost
spirit, population lessened, her farm
ers no longer as class proud Of their
profession, and her sons anxious for a
life and business in the city? These
are questions worthy of consideration
by so intelligent club as yours.
If a solution is not found, once
fertile and prosperous section of the
state surely has dark future. In
this portion of Prince Georges county
the true condition of the agricultural
interests of this section is not known
Here, along the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad, there is evidence of prosperi-
ty, and thriving villages are springing
up. Go, if you will, ten miles to the
east or as many to the south, and on
ward to the mouth of the Patuxent
and the Potomac, and what l have said
as to the present condition Of people and
county, will be seen to he as l have
stated it. hesitate to suggest a rem
edy. l will only add, that in my opin-
ion, matters Will continue TO grow worse
until the land is again cultivated by its
owners.
