FOR A GREATER M. A. c

The statement Of Governor Colds
borough, concerning the diligent in
quiry which he has conducted a.
chairman Of the committee to select
an executive head for the Maryland
Agricultural College, makes it plain
that the Governor has not lightly
regarded this responsibility. Hehas
given much of his time and has con-
suited very widely in this search,
realizing undoubtedly that the selec
ton Of the right man for this impor-
tant post is the fundamental and de-
termining factor in the reorganiza.

The notice in another column in
reference to g oyster leasing shows
that in the last eleven moAths 26.00s
acres of oyster bottoms have been
leased.
The significance Of these figures is
apparent when il is borne it mind
that in the preceding six years the
total area leased and applied for a.
mounted to 1000 acres of which only
!, 045 remain in force. This added
10 the 26,0Os applied for since makes
up an aggregate Of 27,O53 Up to
the present year the Shell Fish Com
mi, sion has been maintained by APP
proplia ions from the State, while
now it is self sustaining and support
ing and from what we can lean a
substantial sum will be turned unto
the Golfers Of the treasury OF the
State to be applied to the building
of roads.
The large acreage leased and the
fact that the Commission is self sup
porting in 50 short time speaks well
and commercially for the personnel
of the Commission. 1t demonstrates
that the Comm ssion is composed Of
energetic and hard working men who
ere not alone drawing their salary
but thoroughly earning it. Since
the Shell Fish Commission is a State
institution the people must feel mu- h
relief in the fact that it is self sup
porting and no longer dependent
upon the State.

SPRING SIGNS.


Last weeks rains have served the
purpose of softening The tissues that
hold the buds of the trees AID shrubs
and now that the brief cold snap
has passed, the parks are looking
like spring. The first softness Ct
the season is noticeable. When the
sun shines on the branches there APP
pears the faint brownish green radi-
ance that betokens swelling blossoms,
and each day will add to the color
until in the course If another week
Washington will have put on its FIRST
spring dress. These are the days
when the capital is worth an extend
ed visit. There is practically mo
chance Of severe weather to come.
A night or two of frost may occur,
but winter is gone and in this lati-
tnde there is virtually no danger Of
setback.

FRIDAY. March, 81, - 1913
NO EXTRA SESSION.

An extra session Of Congress will
be called it is said by President VIII
son to convene on the eth Of April
next. The object of the extra ses-
sion, we understand, is for the pur-
pose Of revising the tariff. Other
matters it is likely will also be taken
up. We can see no urgent necessity
for an extra session Of Congress-
The country is happy and prosperou ,
hence, what necessity is there for
putting the nation to SO great an ex
pense at this time. The people have to
bear the expense and burden of this
session and it seems TO us,
the next regular sessi o n
of Congress will be ample time
to take up the tariff and other meas
ures. If not sufficient appropriations
were made at therecentregular session
to carry on the government then the
failure for the passage Of such meas
ures lies at the door of the Democra-
tic party. They had control Of the
lower house of Congress by a good
majority and the division in this up
per house was very meagre. Had
the Democratic party worked in I'M
son with the republicans instead Of
in opposite channels no further APP
preparation bills would have been
necessary. Whether they are abso-
lutely necessary now we are UMPIRE
pared to say but 1t is hardly likely.
An extra session, we believe, is abso-
lutely unnecessary and if one is had
then it is up to the Democratic party
20 bear the burden Of putting the
people Of this great nation to an I'M
necessary expense.

ton Of this institution in which the
state has 50 much at stake.
The report Of the special D mmit-
tee, headed by the Governor, has
been submitted to the general com
mittee. The Governor has been
outspoken in expressing the view
that in its reorganization the aim
should be to make this institution
conducive 70 the welfare and de-
velopmont Of the farming interest.
Of the state. In other words, he be-
lieves that the institution should moi
diffase its efforts in the endeavor t.
do too many things in the education
al way, but should aim to be a tech
nical school-to teach the science o.
agriculture and the farm industries
broadly and literally.
That Is the view Of tie reorgani.
zation problem which must impress
all who give serious thought to tn,
matter. The Governor in fact, in
vited the fullest expression Of opinion
from farmers and prominent me re-
siding 10 all sections Of The state con
corning the ideals to be carried out
in recognizing the agricultural col
Ilege. The general view, as indicat-
ed IN many communications to the
Governor upon the subject is that I
high grade and thoroughly equipped
agricultural college should be III,
aim.
