tons? The farmers are patient set
of folks, but are hardly likely to en-
dure this sort of thing any longer. In
fact, we stopped ENDURING it some time
ago in Cecil county. Hence we sim
ply use the traction engines where and
as we need them and invite those who
want to prosecute to go ahead. The
result has been an utter failure to Sc
cure a conviction in a single instance.
And that is just how it will continue
to be. No agricultural community is
going to lend itself to the enforcement
of such an obnoxious law.
The Road Commission has secured
the veto of a good, workable statute.
Now, let's see what their next move
will be as the busy season comes on
and the traction engines go to their
usual service of the farmers-as they
will and ought to do.

FARMERS VS.. ROAD COMMISSION

THE Governor has made a great
mistake in vetoing the Bill, passed by
the recent Legislature, governing the
running of traction engines on the
new State roads. The Bill was care
fully prepared, weeks of consideration
from all sides and parties beiE~ given
to the same, and was passed as finally
drafted without the slightest opposi-
ton. Then the State Road Commits
sion stepped in with request to the
Governor to veto it. which request he
has granted. In discussing the sub
Ject with the Governor prior to that
veto, we called his attention to the
fact that to kill the Bill would leave
us just where we are at present;
which would simply mean that the
farming communities would go right
on using traction engines over the
stone roads, despite all the warnings
and prosecutions the Road Commits
sion could hatch up. OF course they
will Traction engines are a neces-
sity to modern farm operations and
farmers are not going to he deprived
OF their necessary use by any action
that can be taken by road building
policy that has become entirely heed
less to the claims of the agricultural
class and hears only the orders of the
automobile interests. Does any sane
man imagine that the farmers of this
State are going to be taxed for the
building of stone roads that are calcu-
lated to seriously hinder instead of
help them in their farming opera

A SUBJECT FOR THOUGHT.

THE dog-tax problem is by no
means a trif1ing one. 1t is difficult
problem, but it is not trifling prob
lem. And it is not trifling, because it
so seriously affects what is or ought
to be some of our most important in
dustries.
Sheep raising and poultry raising
ought to be among the most profitable
of our local farm industries, because
of the exceptional facilities for mar
keting that are at our very doors. But
we are told by those who are, or have
been, engaged in sheep and poultry
raising that the devastation wrought
in their fiocks by dogs mas either dis
couraged their work along these lines,
or caused them to cease from it alto
gether. We know, OF course, that
there has been an attempt to help this
situation by legislation which provides
a "sheep fund" for reimbursing those
injured. This fund, however, is by
law to be derived from the collection
of dog tax. But the collection of
the dog tax seems to have become an
impossibility. AS matter of fact,
the County Treasury has just$13 in it
from the dog tax and the County Trea-
surer reports that constables fatty
refuse to collect the tax, declaring
themselves ready to resign sooner
than collect that tax. Evidently then,
this plan is either not being worked
or is not workable. At any rate, it is
atfording no relief to situation which
we think is wholly unjustifiable, viz a
handicap on such legitimate and pro-
fitabe industries as sheep and poul-
try raising.
How, then, can the matter be ar
ranged? What can be done to rem
edy the situation? We are not pre-
pared to say. If we were, we would
not only say it, but do it. We feel
strongly the absurdity and injustice of
such condition of affairs. Our only
wish, and our desire in writing this
article, is thai our people may be
brought to seriously think the matter
over until some wise and effective
measures can be devised to remedy
this condition. We like dogs and
keep them. But we like better to see
removed every obstacle to the thrift
and profitable industry OF our people
If anybody has any helpful sugges-
tons to make on this subject, we
would appreciate receiving them

banner year but for various reasons
the crop was unusually light and on
account of this fact apple raisers
were expecting a good year.
The scarcity of rainfall is factor
in the poo crop. it is believed, as
orchards situated on moist ground
seem to produce better results than
those on dryer territory. Then too.
the caterpillar pest has injured the
trees more or less, although some
farmers have saved part of their
crop by continual spraying.
Farmers in the southern part of
the state also report a bad year for
fall or winter apples, although 1t is
a consensus OF opinion that the early
crop has been above the average.
ID. c. Hicks OF North Clarendon,
considered an expert on fruit culture,
having given great deal of study to
the subject attributes the small crop
to the reasons described above.
Not only the apple crop but other
fruits, cherries, pears and plums
promise to be scarce, although crab
apples are abundant.
