The Corn Crop of Maryland-Make it
Bigger.

Maryland Agricultural college Bulletin.
Six hundred and twenty-eight thousand,
seven hundred and ninety-ive acres of Mary
land land were in corn in the year 1906. The
total production was %, 2O2, 5S6 bushels, repre-
senting value of s11,lS7,2l7. The average
weld per acre was 1913 bushels. There is 10
question but that better methods OF seed selec-
tion would increase this at least ten bushels per
acre. That would add to the crop 6,2S7, $50
bushels worth, at the same price as above,
something over three million dollars:
Is not three million dollars sufficient in
centive to the farmer boys of the State to make
them take the short course at their Agricultural
COLLEGE. and to the fathers of the boys to IN.
dereo the slight sacrifices necessary to send
their sons where they may get such useful in
formation?

Eklo, 9th District. Mr.. Elmer Gore, who
formerly lived in this neighborhood. but for
the past two years had been employed In Bal
timore city, died on Chestnut avenue, Wed
nesday morning. One week ago he was strick.
en- down with typhoid fever. which, with cry.
sipelas and several attacks of hemorrhages OF
the lungs, were more than his weakened
physical condition could Withstand. He was
in his 34th year, and leaves son. about six
years OF age, bis wife having died about Two
years ago. A brother and sister also survive
him. He was grandson of the late Samuel
Gore, who at one time was School Commits
sioner of the county. The funeral took place
at Shaver's Church, near Beckleysville, on
Friday morning.
Rev. ]. A. Jones, assisted by Rev. Frederick
B. Williams, evangelist, of Pittsburg, are hold
ing series of meetings at Gunpowder Baptist
Church. Mr.. Williams, who seems to have
been great Bible student. is ready to prove all
his statements made by references to Holy
Writ. He is not a very strong advocate of a
judgment to the Christian after death. With
all his. eloauence and earnestness of soul it
seems as though he has not been able as yet to
reach the sinners of this neighborhood. We
hope it is not Ephriam Joined to his idols, but
that his labors may be as bread cast upon the
waters to be gathered after many days.

The Mason and Dixon Line.-The United
States Coast and Geodetic Survey has finally
completed its report concerning the famous
Mason and Dixon's Line between Maryland
and Pennsylvania. The work of resurveying
was begun in 1900. The original running of
the line was concluded in 1760 and each mile
was marked by stone, every fifth stone being
marked with the coats of arms of Lord Balti-
more and William Penn, and known as
"Crownstone." There is perhaps no geo
graphical boundary in the whole world which
has become more famous than this historic
line, and it is probably the only distinctive
division line between common wealths which
is visible and tangible, the tops of each of the
stones bearing line carved across the center.
A number of the stones had been removed or
lost and the Geodetic Survey was SO fortunate
as to come across a number of the original
stones which had never been set up because
they were not needed. They were in good
condition and have been used to replace those
which were lost.

opinion in the Court of Appeals in the litiga.
ton between the Northern central haliway
Company against the Canton Company, which
involves the right of the railway to lay and
maintain tracks across certain avenue located
upon the Canton Company's property. This

Court for Baltimore county, which perpetuaily
eDjoined the company from laying certain
tracks, and the Court of Appeals atfirms the
ruling of the lower court. In affirming this
decision the Court of Appeals holds that by
the true construction of the lease of October

no right to lay any tracks across Twelfth ave-
nue. connecting its elevator and ore pier with
its tracks on the north side OF said avenue.

Was the Seed Inoculated 2-Mr, J. L
Mccormick, a well known Hartford farmer
recently threshed his crop of wheat and found
it SO badly cut by the fly that no dealer would
buy it. The grain is plump in shape anc
bright in color, but these pests have entered
the ends of the grains and in many cases com
pletely consumed the interior. On investiga
ton Mr.. Mccormick found that the gentleman
from whom he bought the seed year before
found his seed in like condition when TIT
general crop was sold and there seems to b
| little doubt but what incubation was com
! pleted before the seed was sown.

stubbs and Dolly Demand That Nc
Keever Be Dropped by Hoch.

The question of the appointment OF
a private secretary for Governor Hoeh
now seems to be a question Of in
f1uence, among the governors friends
1t used to be the custom that the gov
ernor was allowed to select whoever
he pleased for this important post,
but in naming a successor to F. l.
Williams. the governor has apparently
gone up against a new situation HIS
friends want a hand in selecting the
man.
Yesterday it was practically certain
that 2. D. Mckeever of Topeka Woulu
be given the place. McKeever was
Governor Hoch's original selection, ana
when it became known that Mr.. VIII
liams was about to resign, J. S. Dean,
who was supposed to be authorized 10
speak for the governor communicated
with Mr.. AIcKeeverH about the matter,
and Mr.. McKeevers after some consld-
Grafton, agreed to accept.
When this became known, J. N
Dolly hurried to Topeka. He seems to
have come bearing the proxy of w. r.
Stubs, and he filed q large and en-
phatic objection to Mckeeyer. Dolly
said that ATcKeever wouldn't do at all
Dolly had q man for the place-and a
very good man, by the way-and he
laid down" on Governor Hoch in a
manner which would indeed be shock
busters who turned down Governor
Bailey because they thought he was
too much governed by the wishes of
his friends. Dolly said that he and
Stubs had been turned down so often
by the governor that they really felt
very bad about it. and that about the
only way for the governor to square
himself would be to reverse his de-
cision in the McKeever case.
Up to noon today, Governor Hoch
had announced no decision in the mat
ter whatever. Mr.. McKeever was ask
ed whether or not the governor had
communicated with him.
81 have heard nothing from Cover
nor Hoch." was his reply.
So If Governor Hoch has decided to
yield to the wishes of Senator Dolly
and Walter Roscoe Stubs, both OF
whom seem to be standing in the path
Of q political earthquake whose rum
bHngs were heard yesterday in Reno
county. he has not taken the step Of
notifying Mr.. Mckeever of his inten-
tions.
The man selected by Senator Dolly
and Mr.. Speaker Stubs to be private
secretary to Governor Hoch is a real
newspaper man. He is one of the best
in the business, and his selection would
it is that the politicians won't even let
the governor select his own private
secretary
The only people who seemed to be
dissatisfied with Gov. Hoch's choice
of E. D. AEcKeever seemed to be some
of the politicians who had political
grievances against him. McKeever
would be one of the biggest and ablest
men that ever held the position.

SHOES MUST GO UP.
Unless the Tariff ON Hides Shall Be
Removed.

New York, March 9.-The Hide and
Leather association of New York and
vicinity held its third annual dinner last
night.
The chief speaker was A. Augustus
Healy. first vice president Of the United
States Leather company. He said the
tariff on hides would make the footwear
of Americans Increase IN cost. while It
,hampered the exports OF manufactured
leather.
Our expansion would be larger at
home, he went on, IF we were not
handicapped at home. The United
States does not and can not produce more
than two-thirds of the hides needed by
our manufacturers.
we are handicapped IN the markets
. Of the world. South American hides are
bought at the greatest disadvantage.
Our neighbors in Canada prosper at Cur
/ expense and our shoe manufacturers
Z have been greatly troubled of late. These
duties have caused such an advance that
they see nothing but loss unless they
raise the price Of shoes"
