for the annual municipal election in Elk
ton having passed without the registers
sitting. it win be impossible to hold an
election next month--the time for holding
municipal elections in the town: The
law governing municipal elections in
Elkton, as passed by the the last Legisla-
ture, contained grandfather's clause,
which practically prohibited negroes from
being registered, A similar law was
declared unconstitutional some months
ago by Judge Morris. presiding over the
United States Court for the District Of
Maryland. AS result the Election
Supervisors found it impossible to get two
reputable citizens who would serve as reg
listers of voters. because they anticipated
trouble no matter how they acted. II
they had REGISTERED negroes who did not
own and pay taxes on $500 worth Of prop
erty they would have been arrested for
violating the local law, and if they did
otherwise they feared getting into the
clutches of the government for violating
the United States Constitution. AS a
result no one would serve as register. No
town election will be held this year.

Bennett, the retiring members OF the City

with Maryland in the project. by sending
exhibits, setting forth their attractions
in the way of travel and sightseeing, and
delegates to convention to be held in
Baltimore in January, 1919.
Governor Crothers points out in his
letter, that hundreds of millions of dollars
are spent annually by Americans in
foreign travel "and tens of thousands of
our people go abroad constantly who
really know very little about our own
country"
"Those who go abroad" the Governor
says, ''as we'll as those who stay at home,
do not realize the attractions and educa-
tional values which the different States
have to offer in the way of travel and
sightseeing, nor do they appreciateDtbe
great commercial and social advantages
which spring from a wider intermingling

PUBLIC SPRAYING DEMONSTRA
TI0NS TO BE HELD.
Soon Time To Spray For Codllng
Moth and Plum CurcuIlo.

The success attending the conducting
of spraying and pruning demonstrations
by the State horticultural Department of
the Agricultural College and the Horticul-
tural Department Of the Experiment
Station throughout the State, during the
early spring, has been unprecedented.
Plans are now being made for holding
spraying demonstrations for the control
of the coddling moth and plum circulio.
1t is hoped to be able to hold them in each
county in the state. The officers of the
department firmly believe in such demon
stration work, and it has shown to be the
best means Of disseminating information.
The people Of community are invited to
attend a spraying demonstration, and also
to see the results of the treatment in the
fall. A demonstration is arranged for
your county but the date is not yet set.
Every one who has apple trees should
spray them just as the blossoms fall with
a solution made by combining two pounds
of a,senate of lead and one and one
quarter gallons Of concentrated lime
sulpher solution to fifty gallons of water,s
The Pathologists are recommending lime
sulpher, as fungicide in preference to
the Bordeaux mixture, at least for the
first spraying.
All peach trees should be sprayed with
arsenate Of lead two pounds and slack
lime three pounds to fifty gallons Of water,
just as the calyces of shucks are falling
off the tiny fruit. This spraying will aid
in preventing injury from the plum
curculio through whose punctures brown
rot and other disease enters, causing the
fruit to rot later on.
These treatments at the proper time,
which will now be shortly throughout the
State, are exceedingly important.
