MARYLAND FRUIT.

An impression has gained general
prevalence in recent years that the best
apples in the sworld are now grown in
the Rocky Mountain region of the Unit
ed States and along the northern section
of the Pacific Slope. 1t therefore come
somewhat in the way of a pleasing sur
prise to Maryland fruitgrowers to be in
formed that "since December Ia, 1908,
the Maryland State Horticultural Socic-
ty has exhibited fruit three times in the
West in competition with the foremost
apple sections of the Western country.
and out of a total of Sc entries has won
70 prizes. A Of which have been gold
medals iand first premiums. At the
Rocky Mountain Apple Exposition, held
in Denver last week, Maryland apples
won 80 per cent. of the first premiums,
and the remaining so per cent. of first
premiums were distributed among IS
states.
MARYLAND is great fruit state Thir-
ty years ago this state produced nearly
one-half of all the peaches marketed in
the world. California and Georgia in
recent years have been growing more
peaches than Maryland, but this state
probably yet leads in the production Of
strawberries, and, as the story of the
prize winnings at the.sWestern apple
exhibitions go to show, can grow apples
Of as fine quality as can be produced in
any other region. But apples are not
grown as extensively in MARYLAND as in
some regions of the West or in some Of
the counties in the northwestern section
of New York. There are few orchards
in Maryland that cover 100 acres, while
in Oregon and the State of Washington
200, 300 and even 1000 acre orchards
are to be found.
Apples should be more extensively
grown as a market crop in this state.
There are reports from the Western APP
pie sections of growers realizing 5000
net per acre from their apple orchards.
If this sort Of profits can be made out
of apples in Colorado or Oregon, equally
good results can be realized here in
Maryland. This state has the proper
climate and the right kind of soil for
growing apples, but watchful and intel
ligent care is necessary here. as every
where, to the accomplishment of ideal
results in applegrowing or in any other
branch of fruit culture.

sively tempered with than it was in adj
vance of the last election. And the
premonitory signs are not lacking
which Indicate that such tampering is
in contemplation. The Brewington
scheme is suggestive of an audacious
and defiant control of the election ma
chinery in this state for the accomplish
ment of INSCRIPTIONS partisan purposes,
as has not been attempted since the
Democratic machine was overthrow in
the election of 1895.
There is no doubt whatever that the
bosses who are completely in control of
the machinery of the Democratic party
are in the saddle at Annapolis, and all
the signs indicate that there is a def
nitely planned program for Juggling
and distorting the electoral system Of
of the state to the intent of perpetu-
atlng their own power. The Republi-
can minorities are too small to block
the game which the powers in control
are determined to play. But these
minorities can perform great service
by showing up the game-by disclosing
to the common view the sinister mo-
tives that are involved. The minorities
can wage persistent fight for decency
and fair play and for the restoration
an honest and fair electoral system and
such fight fearlessly and ably waged,
though it may not change the program
that has been arranged for the 1910
legislature, will not be lost in the
greater swing of events that will not
be limited to the ninety day session.
