Work of the School of Horticulture

The School of Horticulture of the
Maryland Agricultural College and Ex-
pertinent Station, is arranging to con-
duct as much demonstration work as
possible in the various phases of horti-
culture throughout the State this sum-
mer and fall. Fruit packing demon
strations will be held wherever there
is a request for same from growers.
1t is the aim of the Institution to
show by practical demonstration how
our horticultural products can best be
handled for the greatest income to the
growers. Demonstrations in summer
pruning of fruit trees will also be held
where requested by the growers.
In the Vegetable Department, special
work is being done on the tomato,
potato and .canteloupe crops. Several
lines of work in spraying, fertilizing
and seed selection are being conducted
as both demonstrat ton and investiga-
ton with these crops in various sec
lions of the State.
In the Landscape Department, rural
schools and country homes are being
decorated as demonstrations for the
community. There is much that can
be done in identifying our rural schools
and country homes at minimum cost
Every farmer should aim to have the
appearance of his home made as at
tractive as possible.
The School of Horticulture is also
commencing thorough survey OF the
horticultural industries of the State.
Any person who is interested in pro-
noting these lines of work, and de-
sires to cooperate with the School of
Horticulture. should communicate with
this Department of the Mary land
Agricultural College and Experiment
Station, College Park, Maryland.

WHAT SUSTAINED THE
VETERANS?

1t is extraordinary that only
nine of $4,000 veterans who en-
camped at Gettysburg should
have died last week. The fact
that the War Department, bas-
ing it's caution on the mortality
statistics of the Pension Bureau,
sent 500 collins there, makes the
low death rate stand out in a way
that will not be forgotten soon.
But when we ask why this was
so-why the thing that every
body feared did not happen---we
find it difficult to get a salts
factory answer. Of course, there
are the obvious reasons---the
scientific and thorough sanitary
precautions; the well-selected
and abundant diet; the artesian
water supply; the adequate ac-
commodations in the tents and
the fact that incoming trains
were run directly to the camp,
making it unnecessary for the
old soldiers to do much walking.
Yet, allowing for all these,
there was the normal death rate
among so many aged men to be
considered. And certainly their
assembling for days of excite
ment under the fierce July sun

GOOD COUNTRY ROADS PAY FOR
THEMSELVES

Inc QlfecC eIIecC CnaC cnang-
ing bad roads into good roads
has upon land value and the
general economic welfare of a
community is shown in several
concrete illustrations gathered
by the U. S. Department of
Agriculture. The Department
has just issued a statement on
the subject, based upon the mass
of information gathered by the
Office of Public Roads, which is
making a special study of the
economic effect of road improve
ment in the country. According
to data gathered, where good
roads replace bad ones, the values
OF farm lands bordering on the
roads Increase to such an extent
that the cost of road i'm
provement is equalized, if not
extended. The general land
values, as well as farm values.
show marked advances, follow
ing the Improvements of roads.
Among the illustrations cited
by the Department are the fol-
lowing:
In Lee County, Virginia, a
farmer owned 100 acres between
Ben Hur and Jonesville, which
ne offered to sell for $500. In
1908 this road was improved.
and although the farmer fought
the Improvement, he has since
refused $4,000 for his farm.
Along this same road a tract of
ISo acres was supposed to
have been sold for $4,000. The
purchaser refused the contract.
however, and the owner threat
ened to sue him. After the
road improvement, and without
any Improvement upon the land
the same farm was sold to the
original purchaser for $4,000.
In jackson County. Alabama,
the people voted a bond issue Of
$3.50, 600 for road improvement
and improved "a per cent of
the roads. The census of 1900
gives the value of all farm lands
IN jackson County at 50. 90 per
acre. The selling value at that
time was from Sc to SIS ner
acre. The census of 1910 places
the value of all farm lands in
jackson County at s9.79 per
acre, and the selling price is
now from SIS to s25 per acre
Actual figures of increased value
following road improvements
are shown.
AS a the roads in no way effect
soil fertility or quality of the
farm, advances are due essential
~ TO the decrease in the cost of
hauling produce to market or
shipping point. Farms are now
regarded as plants for the bust
ness OF farming, and any reduc-
ton in their profits through un.
necessarily heavy costs for haul
ing on bad roads naturally re-
duces their capitalization into
values. With reduced costs for
hauling, profits are increased:
with the result that the farm
plant shows satisfactory earn
Ings on a higher capital value.
immigration is particularly
marked where road conditions
are favorable; in fact, the figures
OF the Department seem to in
dlcate that good roads indirectly
increase the demand for rural
property; and the price of farm
land, like that of any commod-
lty, is ruled by the relations be-
tween demand and supply.
