Cornish. president of the South At
lantic league. Regardless of who is
named, the directors propose to pro-
vide such rules that will save the
league lot of expense that was az
tached to the leagues first season.
The name of the league will prob
ably be changed from the Empire to-.
the Georgia State or the South Georgia
league. The reason for the change -
that at present Georgia is getting no
advertising from the league, as Texas
and New York both have Empire State,
leagues, and when the Georgia Empire
league is referred to, no one knows ex-
actly what league is being talked about.
Schedule changes and a slight increase.
in the salary limit will also be given
attention by the directors. The open.

mkRYLAND IS BETTER.


Two Baltimoreans who have just
from a tour Of observation
through the agricultural provinces of
Western Canada are convinced that
in the southeastern part Of the Unit
ed States, and in Maryland partieu-
larry, a b. tier agricultural opportuni
ty is offered to the prospective far
mer Of small capital than is to be
found in Canada. ]. A. Tschantre,
secretary OF the State Board of Edu-
cation, and Clement s. Ueker are the
two farm research travellers referred
to. -Four western provinces Of Can
ada and FIVE Northwestern state Of
the United States were visited.
Canads, az ,ne of the observers
points out, bias left nothing Hntol,i in

have invited immigration to the wes-
tern wheat lands from everywhere,
but more especially from The United
States. Farming opportunity, it is
declared, is much more attractive on
paper than when attempt is made to
realize. The winters are long and
severe, and Canada is prat tically a
one-crop country-wheat Remote
ness from the large markets and from
the east coast ports is tremendous
handicap to the West Canada far
mers.
Free land is the big indueemeut
which Canada has to offer to capt.
ta.istic farmers in search of oppor-
tunity, and there is no denying that
ii is drawing attraction. If the
Canadian estimates are accurate,
something likg half million Of
American formers have crossed into
Canada during the past ten years, at
tracted by the government land Of
fers. But, all the same; farming in
Canada is a contest winter six
months long. Forming i, Maryland
should be a joy to the man rightly
attuned to his business. The big
markets are near and everything that
can be grown in Canada can be grown
in Maryland and fifty things can b,
