After the rice is grown and ready to
rip n, the water is drained off and
when the rice is ripe and the ground
is dry the rice is harvested with a
self binder and shocked like wheat
Rice is seldom irrigated until after 1t
has come up. The flooding OF the
rice kills the weeds and the rice
field is clean Only level land or
nearly so will grow rice. because 1t
can not be kept properly inundated
except on level land. Where land is
not level and not one tract In hun
dred is sufficiently level. the rice
field is made into plats. by building
small dykes high enough to raise the
water TO cover the entire tract. Since
almost all land is uneven. these dykes
generally are crooked, being run so
as TO to maintain the same level.
hence. the plats are of irregular
shape. making many crooked fields.
Rice is threshed with threshing
machine. similar TO the ones used

white male citizen of the United States
of the age of q years or upwards with
same residential qualifications as had
existed in 1851.
The Constitution of Maryland stands
today as it stood since 1851, restricting
the elective franchise to the white male
citizens of the United States, except so
far as it has been changed by the Fiji
teenth Amendment to the Constitution
of the United States. which amendment
was not adopted, but unanimously re-
jected by the General Assembly of
Maryland.
Notwithstanding the handicap under
which they are workingAthe Republ-
cans are making a creditable record.
They are on the right side of every i'm
portant question and if the legislation
they are advocating were adopted the
city and state would have no reason for
complaint. While buffeting the politi-
cal waves which threaten to endanger
their existence, they are fighting gal
lantly for those measures that would be
helpful to the people and opposing
others that would be oppressive.
This week promises to be a most i'm
portant one and it behooves the Repub-
icans to be watchful of their interests.
Aside from the political measures that
will come up for consideration are those
of business nature, to which both par
ties are committed, The public utilities
bill framed by the Attorney General
will come back from the House Ways
and Means Committee, together with
its numerous amendments. What the
changes are no one knows except; those
who have been tinkering with the thing.
The Republicans will support their own
measure. which is safe andusane, ac-
complshing as 1t does the purpose it is
designed to carry out without being
handicapped by the Jextravagant pro-
visions that characterize the Straus
production.
The white slave bill has passed both
houses and is now with the Governor.
1t will be signed.
The Reform Leagues bill providing
for uniform election law remains in
committee and the indications .are it
will stay there until it suits the party
managers to have it reported unfavor-
ably.
