One of the smallest things recent

One of the smallest things recent
ly developed in this state was the
attempt to create prejudice against
Prof. V. L. Roy, the new president Of
the State Normal School at Natchi-
toches, because he had once taught
in the Southern University at New
Orleans, an institution for the edu-
cation of colored youth conducted I'M
der state auspices. Mr.. Roy accepted
this employment in the performance
of professional duty, and he was
no more contaminated or disgraced
by it than is a physician who treats
colored patients It is gratifying to
note that the petty demonstration
seems to have "died borning.

Governor Would Help

Believing that the State should spend
money to develop Southern Maryland
in order to make it as valuable tax as
set as the remainder of the State,
Governor Crothers announced Sunday
at Annapolis that he would urge in his
next message to the Legislature special
appropriation for this section to be
used for roads.
1t is the plan of the Governor to
have this money, the amount to be
determined upon later, in addition to
Southern Maryland's regular share OF
the road loan, expended in making
roads which will open up and develop
this section to commerce until it's land
values advance and it becomes more
populous.
''People will not settle where there
is no progress" said the Governor. So
much impressed am l with this indis-
putable fact that am strongly in ia
vor of an occasional extra appropriation
being put through the Legislature for
the sole purpose Of improving the
roads in Southern Maryland.
''Here is section with rich soil and
many other advantages which suffer to
a large extent from the disadvantage
of lack of proper railroad facilities.
The roads are the things which will
furnish the channels of commerce to
this section. This money, y extra
appropriation and in addition 10
Southern Maryland's regular share of the
road fund, would be exceedingly well
spent.
1.-The return would be immediate.
The country would be opened up fully;
the tendency OF the people Immediately
would be to go there and settle and be
producers. In short time the rail
roads would be attracted there by the
natural impetus Of commerce and II
the end Southern Maryland would be
as wealthy, productive and as large
tax asset of the State as any other
section of it.
"Where one section of a State is be,
hind the others | believe in removing
the causes. They are the lack OF
roads. l find that in every message
which the Governors of the different
States are sending to their Legislatures
is the same policy, roads-and y y
land should lead"

Public Spraying Demonstration

A public spraying demonstration will
be held in the apple orchard on the
Leith Esexx Farm, near Groom, the
home of Mr.. w. G. Norris on Saturday,
Nav 18th at II A. M. The public is
cordially invited to attend. The demon
stration will be conducted by the State
Entomologist.
The success attending the conducting
of spraying and pruning demonstrations
in different parts of the State by the
State Horticultural Department of the
Agricultural College and the Horticul-
tural Department of the Experiment
Station during the early spring has been
unprecedented.
Plans are now being made for hold
ing spraying demonstrations for the
control of the codling moth and plan
curculio. 1t is hoped to be able to hold
them in each county of the State. The
officers of the department firmly be-
lieve in such demonstration work and
it has shown to be the best means of
disseminating information. The people
of a community are invited to attend a
spraying demonstration and also to see
the results of the treatment in the fall.
Every one who has apple trees should
spray them just as the blossom falls
with a solution made by combining two
pounds of arsenate of lead and one and
one-quarter gallons of concentrated
lime sulphur solution to fifty gallons of
water. The Psychologists are recon-
mending lime sulphur as fungicide
in preference to 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 or shucks
are falling off the tiny fruit. This
spraying will aid in preventing the in
Jury from the plum curculio through
whose punctures brown rot and other
disease enters, causing the fruit to
rot later on.

ter, 10 years old, was knocked uncon-
