Tomato Growing Threatened

Tomato growers are rather cup in
the air" this season. AS rule, the
contracts have been signed up by this
time and for several years past they
have been~signed up at good figures
to the grower. But this year the pack
ers are not offering any contracts to
the growers. They are already carry
ing over an immense stock which they
cannot unload except at great loss
and they are afraid to contract for
the canning season at any price, until
there is some definite improvement in
the condition of the canned goods
market. Unless such improvement
takes place, it will mean that many
tomato growers will be out of bust
ness for the coming season, and that
means very considerable loss in
many ways to what was becoming on
the Peninsula a very profitable indus
try.

Farmers Institutes

The Farmers Institutes were held
at Elkton last Friday evening and Sat
urday, and at Rising Sun, Tuesday
and Wednesday of this week. Dr..
Richard S. Hill, Director Of Maryland
Institutes, presided at both places.
The lectures at all the sessions were
very instructive and interesting. J. T.
Williams, of Caroline county, gave a
fine talk on Tomatoes and impressed
upon his audiences the Importance of
thorough cultivation and stated that
tomato growers must have their own
seed in order to raise fine grade of
tomatoes.
DR.. Hill gave many useful sugges-
tions along general lines, emphasizing
particularly the great Importance Of
seed selection, and the necessity for
testing seed. Other interesting lee
lures were deliverd by f. |. Oswald,
Washington county; Lowell Rouder-
bush, of Ohio, and H. c. Whiteford, of
Hartford county. The sessions were
fairly well attended.

\ DOWN-GRADE START.

THE idea of bond issue for cur
rent expenses should not ind single
moments lodgment in the thought of
this State. We are shocked and NOR
titled to hear it even suggested, it is
such intolerably dangerous iinancier-
ing. We recognize the fact that the
Treasury of Maryland is in bad way.
In fact, while some of our Democratic
contemporaries have scoffed at our
warnings because it was easier to
scott than to think, we have been con-
tending earnestly for recognition of
the fact that our State is living be-
You'd its income. The last Comptrol-
ler's report says so very bluntly, SIM
ply because the Comptroller's office
had to face the figures. This meeting
of the Legislature very acutely raises
the issue. The demands on the State
Treasury are heavier than ever before,
in spite of the fact that the Treasury
officials have distinctly said that the
revenues of the State would not JUS
tify any increase in the appropriations
already made or the addition of any
further burdens. If these demands on
the Treasury are granted the State
tax rate must be raised. But the rails
ing of the tax rate is not a popular
proceeding and the political managers
are not hunting for causes of proceed
ure which render their party unpopu-
lar. Hence the suggestion of bond
issue. And what does that mean, but
a man paying his current expenses by
a mortgage or note, when he lives be-
yond his income? Mark you, this is
not bond issue for permanent i'm
provements," the justification for
which is the distributing of the cost of
permanent Improvements through a
series of years. 1t is a bond issue for
the payment of the difference between
income and expenditure in current liv-
ing. And such financiering is not to
be tolerated, either on the part of the
individual or the State. People, of
thought and State pride, ought to
raise the note of protest and to make
their representatives distinctly under
stand that such financiering for tenn
porary political effect will not meet
their approval.

sideralons that are not worthy aiA.
proper A great public question ought
to appeal to legislator as a mater to
be decided purely on its merits, with
out regard to personal consideration rs
or the possible fate Of some otter
measure. There are many such ques-
lions before this General Assembly Of
Maryand-the Road Question, the
Oyster Question, the Maryland Agri-
cultural College, the State Tax Com
mission. the Workmen's Compensation
Act, the Fee System, the Penal ON
mission, etc, etc. Such questions
should challenge the careful anu ear
nest consideration of the legislator.
and his judgment thereon should be
reached solely on the merits of the
matter. In actual operation, how
ever, one finds legislators voting for
or against some great public measure
simply as personal favor 10 a fellow
legislator; or one finds the support of
some great public policy conditioned
on the support or non-support Of some
other meaSure-out of winch trading
may come such a percentage OF good
or bad results as no one can tell until
the final reckoning is made up. In
other words, the personal element. the
political element, the local element are
all injected into the final decision of
every great public policy until one
wonders somewhat discouragedly how
much room or influence is left for the
element of real merit. What is the
remedy? Well, that is another story.
We are not setting out to propose
remedies just now. We are not pictur-

Grand Jury Discharged.

The Grand Jury finished its work on
Wednesday afternoon and was dis
charged, with the thanks of the Court
for its promptness, after reporting
that it had examined 3 constables and
10 witnesses, found 8 true bills and
disregarded two presentments. One
of these against Zebulon Short for
harboring a female minor for immor-
al purposes, had been ignored for lack
of evidence; the other against George
Short for fatally shooting Paul Nc
Call, a schoolmate, on January 6, ow-
ing to his extreme youth. The Grand
jury recommended that the Court
treat HIM as a neglected minor and
commit him to a proper institution
till he should reach his majority. The
Jail had been found in fair condition,
but repairs were urged to the build
ing and stable. Conditions were found
satisfactory at the Insane Asylum
and Almshouse, the inmates well
cared for and the farm well managed
