IRRIGATION FOR MARYLAND.

The average rainfall in Mary
land in abundant for the making
of all farm crops if only the
natural sprinkling system could
he so controlled that the water
from the clouds would be deliver
ed at just the right times and in
just the proper quantities, says
the Baltimore American. There
is rarely a year, however, in
which the farming industries
of the state do not suffer from
drouth during some period of the
middle of April and extending
through May, affected the grass,
the wheat, the early vegetable
crops and the fruits. A compe-
tent observer from one Of the
Eastern Shore counties estimates
the damage in that section of
the state at 81, 100000 and this
is undoubtedly a conservative
estimate. The drouth damage
over the entire state will proba-
bly, exceed 100000.
In the semi-arid regions of the
far West, where the rainfall is
too slight for agricultural pur-
poses, they are damming the
streams and turning on water as
needed. Notwithstanding the
fact that the water cost for irri-
cation purposes is often as much
as $50 per acre annually, the
irrigated farms are valued at
$1O0 to $500 per acre. Surely
there ought to be valuable sug-
gestiveness in the extraordinarily
satisfactory results that are OBJ
tanned from these artifcially
watered Western farm lands.
There is no Western state, that
has such an abundant water
supply available for irrigation
purposes, as Maryland. A Balti-
more engineer, who has know
ledge of irrigation engineering
acquired through practical ex-
perience in the West, declares
in a statement made through
The American that irrigation
could be provided in the Eastern
section of this state at one-eighth
the cost in the far West. There
is an enormous amount of water
that goes to waste in every
Maryland county that might be
turned to profitable use. If only
a few progressive farmers would
dam a stream coursing through
their lands and show what
might be done in the way
of obtaining a sure and regulat-
ed water supply, the object
lesson would be most valuable.

the Canadian reciprocity resolu-
ton seems to remove the most |
formidable obstacle to the rati-
fication of the treaty as it was
sent to Congress by the President.
Senator Penrose, after the vote
on the Root amendment, tried
to fix a date for the vote on
the reciprocity resolution and
the other tariff measures, but
was defeated. Most of the Sen
ators of both parties are said to
be anxious to vote and adjourn
except the Insurgent Republicans.
The Insurgents are opposed to
reciprocity and they expect to
make many and long speeches
against it, and they do not de-
sire to speak to empty Senatorial
chair. They want an audience,
and they feel assured that after
the day for taking the vote is
agreed upon most of the Senators
will 60 home to return in time to
vote. While the majority Of peo-
pie do not care how much punish
ment the valuble Insurgents in
fict upon the standpatters, the
Democrats who have done their
duty deserve the sympathy of the
country if they are to be forced to
listen to the futile oratory of the
so-called Western Republican
progressive, S whose only progress
recently has been backward.
The Root amendment, in effect,
prohibited the admission Of any
Canadian paper free of duty until
all restrictions are removed and
Canada admits all Of our paper
free. The effect OF this, IN all
probability, would be a perma-
nent prohibition of free paper
from Canada, because there is no
assurance that all of the various
provinces would or could remove
the restrictions upon the export
of wood form their public lands.
The Root amendment was in the
interest of the paper manufact-
urers, and if it had been adopted
by Congress it would have result
ed in the rejection of the treaty by
Canada. And that is what GER
tain of the trusts and big manu-
facturers desire.

ANOTHER STEP TOWARD Reel
PROCITY.

ROBERT GRAIN is LIONIZED.

Robert Grain, an eminent Bal
timore Democrat and lawyer, fire.
quently in Washington on
Supreme Court and other legal
affairs, was given an unusually
cordial greeting when he reach
ed the Willard Tuesday, says the
Washington Post. This for the
reason that his Democratic
friends in Congress already knew
how he had raised a fund of
500, 900 for bringing the next
Democratic Convention to Balti-
more.
A few months ago Colonel
Grain told his political friends
that he was the head of a COM
mittee that had been organized
in Baltimore to capture the con-
vention and raise the money.
Colonel Grain seemed quite en-
Unused over the prospects; and
now comes the information, con-
fded by Baltimore editors, that
Grain was the entire committee,
the whole thing" in fact, and
the raising of the fund was due
solely to his personal efforts.
Apparently Grain has done the
work and has gotten subscrip-
tons up to the 100000 needed.
A few corporations and individ-
uals gave large sums, notably
Isaac Emerson, who is building
a big hotel and knows his bust
ness as a public-spirited citizen.
Colonel Grain has been active
in Maryland politics without ask
ing office, but after this last
demonstration of his energy, it
is admitted that he will be a del
agate to the convention, no mat
ter where it is held, and Demo
cratic candidates in and out Of |
Congress are paying him extra
attention.

Representatives is held we'll in hand by
Mr.. Underwood, through whom caucus
rule is supreme. 1t is thought that
the Senate will sooner or later pass
the Canadian reciprocity bill in the
shape that it came from the House.
1t is earnestly opposed by some Sena-
tors who are endeavoring to make re-
cords for themselves with their con-
stituents with a view to prolonged
senatorial tenure, but is believed that
a very decided majority of the people
Of the United States are in favor OF
the measure and that it will finally be-
come a law.

GuMpr1oN ON THE FARM.

Perhaps some of your crops have
disappointed you this year, but if you
sowed few seeds of kindness, as we
advised last spring. that crop did not
disappoint you. Another thing: 1t
you didn't plant then tits not yet too
late-this is one of the best ''catch"
crops known. Try it.
There are few things in life more
despicable than the man who blames
it on his wife.
Looking at the sun through whis-
key glass shows the picture of the
poorhouse and thin soup.
In these days of undertaking, the
farmer who is able to rake up good
compost heap stands to win.
Somebody has said that a dog with
no teeth has a soft snap. We'd rath-
er think that he has no snap at all.
Corn in the crib is just in the right
spot, but is the spot right? Or will
the rats get more than their share OF
it?
In the large producing sections cab
bages are stored in specially prepared
frost-proof houses. But they are Of
ten stored in cellars. barns or caves.
Some growers store in pits and there
is no better way to keep the heads
crisp and fresh. The main thing is
to keep out frost and provide for
ventilation. Whatever the plan of
storing. don't wait for freezing wealth
er before harvesting.

the pleasure OF greeting every

lately been engaged on the grand
jury business, but the last word
from him was that he hoped to be
through and if so he'll be here
today.

Captain, and following this the
business men of this city will take
them in charge for couple OF
