OF INTEREST TO FRUIT GROWERS
a. ed by State Agricultural Depart
ment

The following communication from
the departments of entomology and
vegetable pathology of the Maryland
Agricultural College is self eXplana-
tory:
As the season is at hand when the
officers of the State Horticultural De-
partment conduct the annual inspec-
ton of nurseries in the State as re-
quired by laws of Maryland 1898,
Chapter 2S9, we wish to announce to
the public that it is necessary for
everyone who wishes to sell either
trees, vines, shrubs, plants, ETC., in
this or any other state to have their
premises inspected by the State Ento-
mologist and the State Pathologist,
and secure certificate from the above
mentioned officers, if the inspection is
satisfactory, certifying that said in
spected stock is apparently free from
injurious insects and plant diseases
Such certificates should be attached
w SNClS vi ClblCI lIcts,
vines, shrubs, plants, etc, in order
that the consignee may not violate
the before mentioned law.
The inspection of nurseries is of
great Importance both to the nursery
men and the growers; to the former,
in that rigid inspection of his stock
will reveal any injurious pests which
may have recently commenced their
ravages, thereby giving him an oppor-
tunity to control the same before
their depredations are serious. Furth-
er, having the stock inspected by spe-
cialists enables him to give greater
assurance to the public that his stock
is clean and healthy. The official GER
tificate given to the nurserymen in
this state protects them from competi-
tors who grow inferior stock and
moreover allows them to ship their
stock into other states without it be-
ing contiscated by the officers of the
respective states.
ITO the grower, the attached GER
tificate accompanying every consign-
ment of nursery stock assures that the
stock has been duly inspected and is
apparently free from any injurious
pests. AS there are so many pests that
attack nursery stock, which the ordi-
nary grower would not detect until
after the planted stock commenced to
lose vitality or dies, the result being
loss of money and time, the inspec-
ton of nurseries is in many ways a
great benefit to the prospective grow
er.
'Those wishing to sell trees, vines,
shrubs, plants, ETC., should at once
notify the officers of the State Horti-
cultural Department, College Park,
Md, and the inspection will be made
at the proper time, at the expense of
the State Horticultural Department.

TWO Sewers

Behold our Uncle Samuel had n
big field to SOW; whereupon lie sent
forth into the field one Grover whose
surname was Cleveland 10 do the
sowing. And Grover straightwav
sowed the field with the seeds OF
FreeTrade, with a remarkable crop
resulting.
For in due season the field was
white unto harvest with mighty
yield of bond issue IN a time of peace
idle factories, tramping laborers,
Coxey armies, ragged breeches, shang.
hal shadow soup and poor prices
everywhere.
Then arose Uncle Samuel in the
midst of his wrath and spoke unto
the sower saying:
Grover git. Depart unto the
dungeons of political darkness. HE
thee away to the shimmering waters
of BuZzards Bay, there to follow the
gentle craft of Sir Isaac. Go quickly,
ere l dash my No. 10 into the midst
of thy rear redundancy. And Grover
went away sorrowful, for he had
hopes of great riches-and a third
term.
Then Uncle Samuel opened his
mouth again, and said: Son Will
lam whose surname was Mckinley,
SOW in my field this year And Will
lam went straightway and sowed in
the very same field, but he had good
seed TO witt Protection, Sound Money,
and Such.
Again the field brought forth
abundaDtly, but this time it was an
overlooking Treasury, busy factories
employed labor az increased wages,
clothed, fed and well paid people and
good pay for all produce.
Then was Uncle Samuel made
much glad, and he smiled a smile of
great joy, and said: II will have this
seed sown in my field forever more. -
And all the people were well
pleased, and shouted with a great
shout, saying: Let this be true.

stance OF patriotism than Elijah run
ming before Ahab's chariot. The pro-
phet honored of God-the reformer
of Israei-the executioner of false
prophets-utterly oblivious of self,
in full view of court and people, takes
his place as the herald of his sover-
eign, and as he runs he cries, Pre-
pare We the way of the king" Though
he has had occasion to rebuke the
monarch, on his repentance and re-
formation, Elijah throws the full
weight of his personal and official
character on Ahab's side.
From this page three thousand
years old there comes lesson for oar
own day. In the spirit of Elijah one
may run before the chief magistrate
of his nation. Not truculently, but
in the sense of casting the full weight
of his moral influence in support of
the office and officer.
1t is psychologically true that a
nation can not be reformed in a day.
Savonarola and many others have
learned that truth to their sorrow.
Things are ever doing, never done.
Life is tiuX, not crystal. Men are only
contributors to the flow-some good,
some evil, some larger, some smaller.
The best one can do it to cast the
largest possible saline influence into
the stream. So did Elijah.
If Elijah had stood the shock of
discovery that his reformation was
thus incomplete, we should be in
clined to accept the Jewish legend
that he really was an angel and not
man. His dependency proves his
humanity. He was man of our ma
ture as st. James says. As Shake
speare once thought himself no poet.
and Raphael thought himself no
painter, soInow Elijah thought him
self no prophet; and in the bitterness
of his grief cried, Il am not better
than my fathers
1t would have been cowardly for
Elijah to have staid and died at the
hand of Jezebel. 1t is cowardly to
put down the eXtinguisher upon the
lamp of life to feel the last grand
rush of darkness on the spirit
1t has been said that only such a
man as Elijah can measure the colos-
sal dependency of Elijah's heart.
This incident is foregleam of the
Messianic way of dealing with minds
distressed. The broom-tree. most
welcome bush of the desert, was the
prophets shelter. The two angel
served meals with the nap interven-
ing, was the preparation for his Or
deal. so Jesus Himself made men
comfortable in their bodies first.
That is the approved current method.
There are times when looking up a
Colorado canon is more religious
than going to a prayer-meeting.
| Byron understood the sanitary lnfiu-
ence of nature when he said,
There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is society where none intrudes
| BY the deep sea and music in its roar"

Mr.. Bottom and Mr.. Pollock advocated
tho recommendation Of the committee, but
Mr. Lynch couldn't see 1t that way. and
wanted the salary to be placed at $500
He, therefore,, amended the ordinance
coming from the committee. but he lost

changed his vote SO as to move to re-
consider. The resolution was then sent
back to the committee.
