FARMERS WANT
LOTS Oh SUNSHINE
Matters Of Paramount Inter
est to the Honest TiIIerS
Of The Soil

For the week just ended the Climate
and Crop Service OF Maryland and
Delaware have issued this report:
The abundant moisture was favor
able to the growth OF corn, grass. oats
and minor crops, and softened the
baked earth. but was not needed for
wheat and rye, and interfered with
field work after the opening days Of the
week The drawbacks were insignih-
cant. however while the benefits were
marked as the entire section had for
some time been In need OF good soak
ing rains. The weather conditions
most desirable for tho next week or
ten days are plenty OF sunshine, with
little or no rainfall.
GRAIN AND GRASSES.
Wheat is beginning to turn in all
districts. and the harvest has already
begun in some OF the southern and
southeastern counties. Farther north
the advance towards maturity has not
been as rapid as expected. owing TO
the cool and cloudy weather, but it Is
a matter of only q few days before
some OF the crop will-have been cut In
all except the extreme western coun-
ties. A few fields have been consider
ably hurt by the fly. some local COM
plants are made of rust. and where
the rains were heaviest slight damage
has resulted from lodging. but gener-
ally throughout the section the heads
are plump and well filled. and good
yields are promised. Rye is reported
as being above an average condition IN
all localities. Oats were benefited by
the rains and have generally improved
with a promise Of fair to good yields
although in q number Of places the
stands are thin and a short crop viii be
made
The rains came too late for clover
which has yielded poorly thus far. but
timothy has taken fresh growth, with
a prospect OF a better harvest than
heretofore forecasted In these bulletins
although the yields viii undoubtedly
be below the average. Some hay cut
early ia the week Is still on the ground
the weather not being favorable foi
curing. Pastures have made remark
able progress. and there Is now suffi
cient moisture IN the ground TO insure
satisfactory growth for a week or more
Corn was greatly benefited by tn
rains cultivation is backward gener
ally. although in a few favored sec
tions the crop has already been worke
for the third time; no blowing can b

would avoid this woman, because she's
skinny and her face shines Something
is all wrong about a skinny woman one
way OF another she's dangerous.
When a skinny woman's face shines,
IT means she's above using powder and
is sure to mako a parade, as a virtue, Of
the very wrong that is to account for
the lack Of flesh on her bones. I.couldn't t
help the woman calling on me, and
returned her first call rather than run
the risk of what she might do to me if
violated this fundamental principle Of
right social action as prescribed by ev-
cry etiquette book in the land. When
she called a second time, che addressed
me as ''my good woman. can for

MINOR CROPS.
The yield OF strawberries Is over in
the southern and southeastern coun-
ties, and the crop is fast failing in other
districts. Raspberries are now ripe In
Anne Arundel county. and are begin
ming to turn in other localities. Black.
berries are becoming red In the more
southern districts The week has been
exceptionally favorable for the trans.
planting OF tomatoes. cabbage and
sweet potatoes. A scarcity OF tomato
plants Is reported from many of the
truck-growing sections, and de.
creased acreage Is predicted on that ac-
count as the period Of transplanting is
passing rapidly Many sweet potatoes
have been set out during the week. The
rains were very helpful to Irish pota-
toes, but the bugs continue numerous
and are causing some injury to the
vines; some potatoes have already been
dug from the earlier planted fields, but
they are quite small yet Early deans
are being picked for table use. The
pea harvest is drawing to a close; the
yields have been very poor. owing tC
damage by drought early In the season
and to the extensive ravages OF the pea
louise. All garden growth has advanced
rapidly under the influence OF the gem
eral and heavy rains.
