ATTEND TO 1T AT ONCE

The story comes from one of the local
papers in Arkansas about man that was
afraid of thunder storm and crawled into
a hollow log. The thunder rolled, the rain
poured down in torrents and the log swelled
up until the poor fellow was wedged in so
tight that he could not move. All his past
sins began to pass before him when he sud-
denly remembered that he had not paid his
newspaper subscription. He said this made
him feel so small that he crawled out of the
log through knot hole.-T. w.

The Department of Agriculture reports
the wheat crop of Maryland as being the
second best in the United States. OF
Maryland's 1912 wheat crop the depart
ment experts now class 92 per cent. of it
as excellent. The average wheat crop of
Maryland for the last ten years has been
classed Sc per cent. excellent, so that
this years crop is apparently per cent
better than the average.
OF the total wheat acreage of the
United States 2.3 per cent. is in Mary
land, which makes Maryland rank as
fourteenth State in the production of
wheat. This year promises to be the
most prosperous that Maryland farmers
have had in a long time, according to
the Governments report on the general
condition of all crops combined in Mary
land.
On the basis of 100 per cent. represent
ing the average condition of all the
States combined crops, the condition of
the 1912 crops of Maryland is 111.2 per
cent, says the Department of Agricul-
lures monthly report dealing with gem
,ral crop conditions over the country.
