Milk and Corn Specials.-Mr. R. s. Kane,
writes as follows to the Baltimore american
Last spring milk and corn special was run
fit of farmers and dairymen. There was some
talk at the time of making this movement
permanent and operating the specials twice
year-in the fall and spring. Since that time
nothing has been said about the matter. That
these specials produced some good results can
not be denied and 1. therefore, think they
should be continued. The Secretary of Agri-
culture gave his approval and loaned several
of his experts to deliver lectures to the farmers.
If he can be enlisted in the cause again we
should certainly run another special, and if it
is too late to run one now, then to send one
forth in the early spring. The farmers well
coined the innovation and hocked in large
numbers to the stopping places.
"The corn specials are no doubt of great ben
eft to the farmers. Baltimore is supplied
State, and the dairy business is now being con-
Quoted on such large scale that it would be
wise, in my opinion, to make the milk special
apermanency. Other states have adopted this
means of keeping the dairymen and farmers
in touch with all the latest improvements in
their special line of endeavor, and it wonld be
proper for Maryland to follow in their foot
steps. We have tried them, they have proven
a success, and we should now keep them up"
