The readiness with which farmers
generally claim that better crops are
raised after severe winters disposcs of
that matter for the present.
The rather good condition Of the
public roads at this time of the year
must be owing in a very great measure
to the greatly protracted season Of dry
weather.
The period OF Lent, broadening the
sphere of its influence. includes num-
Der of religious denominations that
formerly accorded it no special recog-
nition In this brief period Of sacrifice
is marked an existence, !. habit of we'll
doing, which should not be entirely
forgotten when Easter buds have
bloomed and died and Easter bells have
chimed and stilled.
1t may be remarked in passing that
continued dry weather conditions have
very greatly interfered with :he almost
endless stripping of tobacco. very little,
comparatively, of tie product having
thus far been stripped. A good,
healthy rain, it is no eXlggeratlon to
say, would give the farmers unqualified
pleasure, if not, then there is something
fun lamen'ally wrong with them.
The one AMI all absorbing autocratic
purpose of the farmer at this time cen
ters in tie preparation Of an early
tobacco bed, and thus widen the op,
portunities for the early planting Of
good part OF his crop from about the
10th to the 2Uth OF May This would
enable him. other things rq1al, to get
that much of his crop housed in August
and thereby secure a much better color
and prices for lh' product. 1t Is the
subjective character Of agriculture at
this time which makes it imperatively
necessary for the a2riculturlst to
specialize. in one or more crops. But
all such narrow guagr alternatives Will
soon wear themselves ont, wear the
agriculturist threadbare and finally
bring him to bis knees. And thus,
what boots the acceptance of even the
best and highest methods and the
doubtful progress of the age if gov
eminent and law are not improved in
their relations to the welfare and hap
piness of all the people, We ought
to have education enough to develop
and to place value upon independence
Let this be done and our farms, our.
fields and our duplicated energy would
receive theirjust and legitimate reward.
When conditions favorable to the pro
duction of the products of agriculture
are realized, what direction would agri-
cultural work in this country take? 1t
would take the direction Of granite

Study of Maryland Soils.

The bulletins and pamphlets issued
from time to time by the Agricultural
Experiment Station of the Maryland
Agricultural College have come to be
highly valued by the farmers of the
State because of their practical worth.
OF special practical value, says the
Baltimore Neus, is the latest in this
series, which treats of The Chemical
Composition OF Maryland Soils" The
pamphlet was prepared 10y Mr.. F. p.
Veitch, under the direction of Mr..
Milton Whitney. Chief OF the Division
of SOILS OF the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, and the work
was done in his laboratory, receiving
the Endorsement of DR.. H. w. Wiley,
chief chemist of the Department OF
Agriculture. The Importance, object
and scope of soilwork are pointed out
and the purpose and method Of chemi-
cal examination explained, after which
the pamphlet enters upon thorough
ly practical demonstration Of Mary
land soil formations, by means of charts
and otherwise, showing what soils are
best suited for raising standard crops,
tobacco, corn, wheat, grass and truck.
An especially important division Is
devoted to the discus ion Of mountain
fruit soils, showing the wide field for
development which exists in the I'M
cultivated mountain sides of the
western tier of counties.
Director Whitney, in his note &C.
companying the manuscript Of the
pamphlet when transmitting it to the
Director of the Experiment Station,
wrote that he considered this lone OF
the most important publications upon
this difficult subject which have APP
D Jared in receEt years, a c ,mm ,ndl-
| ton amply borne out by an examina-
ton of the work.
Farming in Maryland suffered a
serious decline for Il number Of years
| until the lightning of the past decade,
owing to the exhaustion Of the soil and
, the lack OF scientific knowledge upon
| the part of the older generation OF
agriciilturists of its exact chemical
| conditions and requirements. The
| practical efforts of the Agricultural
! College and Experiment Station with
the sons of the farmers have resulted
| in new generation of farm workers
and farm managers, who have entered
upon the calling with every facility al
hand thoroughly understanding its
difficulties and problems.
