. A Wise Step-Under this caption the Bel
air Egis of last week said: 1.-THE action of
the board of County Commissioners on Mon
day last, in accepting the proposition of Profess
sor Patterson, of the Maryland Experiment
Station, to demonstrate on the aims house farm
at the cost of the station the various methods
of raising alfalfa, is deserving of favorable COM
mendation on all sides. The value of this for
age crop to the farmer frequently represents
the difference between profit and loss in farm
ing but its successful culture is so difficult that
the ordinary farmer needs practical demon
stration before he can succeed. The aims
house farm is an excellent one, centrally loca-
ted, and thus convenient 10 visit for observa-
ton, and if these useful experiments can be
made on a more extended scale, without cost
to the county, there is little doubt but what
they will materially add to the welfare and
success of many of our farmers. 1t is proper
to say in this connection that the corn special
trains from which such useful knowledge was
disseminated last spring, and the dairy special
train which made successful trip short
time since, as well as the present enterprise
were initiated through the efforts Of Mr. G. Bos
lev Littig commission merchant of Balti
more, who is a landowner in Hartford, and
deeply interested in her development. We
trust7 that we may be able later to chronicle
successful results from these alfalfa expert
ments and that they may be only beginning
of still more valuable development of the re-
sources of our soil"
