THE NEXT FAIR.

The Directors of the Hartford County
Fair have decided to make the exhibition
of 1902 one of the best that has been
given in the history of the society. To
accomplish this they have offered stake
races and trotting purses amounting
to between S., 900 and $4,000. 1t is the
intention of the officials to make each
day attractive and thereby try to have
the attendance largely increased over
that of former years. In the past, there
has been too much disposition to make
Tuesday the preliminary day to prepare
for the exhibits of the following three
days. 1t is proposed this year to have
all articles on the grounds on Monday so
that every thing will be in shape for the
day of opening. The liberal spirit shown
by the Directors is not confined to the
racing alone. ADJUSTMENTS of varied
and extensive nature are being planned
and the catalogue will show many liberal
inducements to exhibitors.
If the people of this county want to
have the Fair success, it is not too early
to commence to prepare for it even now.
1t takes time to get up creditable exhibits
and the farmers should plant some par
ticular portion of their crops looking to
the raising OF products that will reflect
credit both to themselves and the coun-
ty. 1t is to be hoped that the ladies will
also become imbued with the spirit of
progrcssiveness and that they will do
their share towards making the Exhibit
ton hall veritable reflection of the
know they possess.

TO BRING THE CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR
CONVENTION HERE.

A meeting was held in the Court House
on Tuesday night for the purpose oftest-
ing the sentiment of the citizens of the
town regarding the proposed visit of the
Maryland Christian Endeavor Convcn-
ton. Although the number present was
not large, yet it was representative in
character and while there was no
eloquencc wasted, those present seemed
to be very much in earnest and willing to
do their share towards making the affair
a success. Mr.. John B. Hanna was
called to the chair with Mr.. Harvey
Ewing secretary. The object of the meet
ing was explained by Mr.. Wilmer l..
Barnes, and on motion of Mr. Richard
Dallam, a committee was appointed to
canvas the town and obtain the senti-
ment of the residents in regard to eX-
tending the invitation through the two
local Christian Endeavor Societies i'll
Bel Air. 1t will be necessary for the citi-
vide for the rtainment of about 300
delegates and "A general midday lunch to
which every one would be invited. 1t is
proposed to hold the meeting in large
tent, to be erected somewhere near Bel
Air, and one can easily be obtained at a
moderate price, which would accommo,
date the immense throng that the Con.
vention will bring here. This committee
is to act i'll conjunction with the local
societies and they will hold a general
meeting next Tuesday night when the
subject will be infinitely considered.
There is no doubt but what the enter.
prise of the town will not allow this Con,
vention to go elsewhere. 1t is step in
the right direction and an opportunity

How to Get Rid of Cut Worms.

MIcHAELSvILLE, May 27.-The much
needed rain has come at last. The ground
had become so dry that the farmers were
compelled to stop blowing. Those who
were fortunate enough to have this work
done and their tomato hills made are re-
ioicing at the season for setting plants.
Mr. Maurice Hopes, of kaintuck,
farm, took advantage of the showers of
Sunday evening and got half of his field
set out in tomatoes on Monday. The
cut worm is playing havoc with the
plants as well as Young corn. If the
farmers would only do away with that
little plow ahead of the big one, what
they call jointer. they would not be
troubled so much with the cut worm as
this turns under every vestage of vegeta-
ton and the fields are as clean of grass
must have something to eat, SO it neceS-
sarily takes to the plant for subsistence
This is verified in gardens where weeds
tions. The one on kaintuck farm is
planted with everything that needs to
make up a garden and not a plant has
been touched by the insect. Your cor
respondent has made and planted all the
garden and done all the hoeing and near
" every chop with the hoe will reveal a
| cut worm an inch or more long. This
should be enough to convince any sensi-
BILE man; and the farmer should do away
with so much fancy husbandry and let
the weeds and grass grow to some ex.
tent. Our grand-daddiesd did not know OF
such fancy plows as are used in these
days, and they had no cut worm OF
potato beetle to bother them because the
grass and weeds grew i'll their fields and
these little creatures had something to
live on except the growing crops.

LOCIISTS AS A TABLE DAINTY

Appropos to the advent of the locust, a
number of persons have brought up the
question as to whether or not they are
fit for food. 1t is claimed that the Bibli-
cal record of John the Baptist, who was
fed upon locusts and wild honey in the
wilderness, is a precedent and MIR. &. F.
Brochat, of Baltimore county, proposes
to give a locust feast to his family and
friends. He is going to have locusts
served in soup, broiled, fried and stewed
with locust pie for desert.
Professor Philip X. Uhler, of the Pea
body Institute, has made the statement
that he has eaten locust soup and had
tasted them both fried and broiled.
There is" said DR.. Uhler, VERY little
taste in the locust. 1t is like eating the
soft shell of Il crab. There is no more
flavor than in a shrimp and very little
nourishmcnt because of lack of meat. On
the locust that we have here, or the cicada,
which is its proper name and title there
is absolutely no meat at all. There is
nothing to eat but the shell and it is al
most impossible to derive nourishment
from it, no matter how it is cooked or
served. The locust which John the
Baptist fed upon was entirely different
from the one we now have. The locust
was i'll point of fact the grasshopper, and
as different from the cicada, which is with
us today, as is an elephant from horse.
The grasshopper or Rocky Mountain
locust has jaws and can eat the
cicada, however, has no jaws and cannot
feed when once above the ground. 1t
might absorb dew and dampness, but
cannot eat. Instead of having jaws it
has simply a sharp pointed beak which
it can sink into rootlet under the
ground and suck out the sap, but cannot
eat above the ground. The French eat
locusts as a luxury, but they are not
served alone, being used in connection
with meat of some kind.
Mr., George w. Seipp of Towson says
he has eaten locusts. His appetite now
docs not crave them, and he has not par
taken of any this year.
Mr.. c. Bohn Slingluff, of the Balti-
more county bar, says that it has been
his custom to eat locustS and that they
are the most pallatable dish he ever ate.
He has not been feeding on them this year
however, because, on account of the dry
season, they did not come up in their
pupa state. They came up half winged
and are not so good.

HAVRE DE GRACE BONDS.

The Havre de Grace Republican,, in its
last issue, seriously criticises the action
of the city authorities of that place in dis
posing of the $25, 900 worth of bonds
which were authorized by recent act of
the Legislature without advertising them
for sale. These bonds have been issued
tor the purpose of paying off the floating
debt. That journal thinks that they
would have brought from sos to $1O7
in the open market, and states that one
party would have taken the entire issue
on a 315 per cent basis, which would
have been about $1O6.75. If they had
been sold at that figure the net premium
to the city would have been 1,75O, in
stead of $531.25, profit of ST, 219.75
more than was realized. Our cotempo-
rary then says:
This is certainly bad fnancecring and
this loss being solely due to the secret
manipulation and private sale of public
securities, without advertising, invites
public condemnation to such a degree
that will bring the members of our city
government to a full realization of the re-
sponsibility they owe to the people of this
city.
There was no occasion to sell the ell
tire issue at any rate; the amount in the
Sinking Fund now about, or should be,
nearly $4,000, is lying unproductive,
what better investment could the CITY
have made than to have bought its own
bonds and placed them in the Sinking
Fund-thus deriving a double interest.
"The entire floating debt is due our own
citizens, and it would seem only fair and
just that they should have at least had
an opportunity, if not the first privilege
of subscribing for these bonds
