State Tax Rate Fixed

The State tax rate will be 81 1-3
cents for 1915 and 1916, and So 1924
cents for 1917. The present rate is 81
cents.
Senator Campbell introduced the big
bills. The payment of interest on the
State debt will cost $83O,0OO in 1915
and 100000 in 1916.
Included in the appropriations are
the regular expenses and salaries OF
the State government officials, the
maintenance or State institutions and
asylums, which do not include the State
aided schools, hospitals, asylums and the
ann the like.
Besides the large new loans for roads
and for various other purposes there
are many appropriations included for
maintenance for institutions and for
new buildings.
For example, the naval militia will
get 100000 instead of $75, 900, and such
increases are found all along the line.
Tie need and demands of insane and
penal institutions and of the militia was
unexpectedly large. The Public Ser
vice Commission got an additional
$25, 900 of which $1,000 is to go to the
Peoples Counsel. 1t cost about $4,000
for repairs to the State House, includ-
ing $1,O15 for cleaning portraits in the
legislative chamber and $4,000 for
furniture, painting and the like in the
Governors pffice, not to mention $500
for repairs to the legislative mansion
The Governor Jared we'll. He got q
liberal increase in his contingent fund,
besides about 5000 for new automo-
bile and its maintenance.
Senator Campbell, chairman of the
Finance Committee, and Chairman
Wilkinson, of the Ways and Means
Committee, have had very difficult
time trying to keep the tax rate within
reasonable bounds so tremendous has
been the demands for money from the
State treasury, the demands varying
from very good to quite bad.
Many very worthy objects had to be
denied because of lack of money.
The State tax rate of 80 1-3 cents for
1915 is imposed for the following lia-
bilities:
Public schools, II cents; sinking fund
loan. 1902, half cent; public building
loan, Ii cents; roads loan, 8, cents;
public highways loan, 1910, cents;

T. B. SYMONS.

The Cooling Moth is the insect
which makes your apples wormy and
unfit for storage. This pest can be SO
efficiently controlled that 1t is utter
folly for the fruit grower to fail to
take the precautions necessary to in
sure 80 per cent. sound fruit.
The eggs of the Cooling Moth are
laid on the twigs early in the spring.
AS soon as these hatch, the young
larvae crawl to the blossom clusters.
and enter the calyx end Of the little
apple. Poison introduced into the
blossoms at this time will destroy most
of these larvae before they have q
chance to injure the fruit This can
be done by spraying the trees with
the following mixture when the petals
have nearly all fallen:

HUMUS PUTS
LIFE IN THE SOIL
Helps Store Plant Food and Water
The Key To Better Crops.

w. E. HANGER
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
We should be planning for the i'm
provement of our poorer soils and the
keeping of our better fields in high
productive condition. Nothing will
help more in this improvement than
filling the soil with humus or organic
matter by the use Of manure, turning
under green crops. or growing heavy
sod.
Let us see what this humus or
organic matter will do for the soil.
Humus improves the physical condi-
ton of the soil. It makes It lighter
or puts what we call life" into It.
This makes it easier TO work. Humus
acts like q sponge in holding soil
water, storing a great deal Of it and
letting the balance run of very slowly
Humus also makes Q warmer soil since
soils containing it are darker In color
and warmer just rs . dark suit of
clothes is warmer to wear than =
lighter colored one.
This humus or organic matter also
furnishes food for the soil bacteria.
These bacteria are what break up
plant food 80 it can be used by the
crop. They thrive best in soils having
plenty of this organic matter. The
hard bare spots on which nothing will
grow that we sometimes find in fields
lack humus and bacterial life. The
decaying bacteria in the humus also
build up the nitrogen supply in the
soil.
Besides storing up plant foods, the
humus by making this bacterial life
possible, causes soil acids to form.
These in turn free the plant food
locked up in the soil so that the crops
use 1t. Since humus is so much need
ed in the soil, we are safe In saying
that before we can expect much Of q
crop of any kind from unproductive
land, we must provide organic matter
either In the form of stable manure or
green manure crops.

Legislative Notes

After repeatedly postponing consid-
Grafton of the matter, the Senate Tues
day night took up and in short order
put an end to Senator Beck's PROPOSE
ton to hold State primaries not later
than the second Tuesday in June OF
each year.
The Finance Committee heard argu-
ments Tuesday for and against Dele
gate Blandford's bill authorizing the
state to appropriate $4,000 for the
erection of two oyster shell lime plants
-one on the Eastern Shore and the
other in Southern Maryland. The bill
was attacked by Western Maryland and
Baltimore city producers of lime, who
asserted that the state had no right to
enter into competition with privately
owned industries or manufacturers. In
the course of their argument, the Bal
timore lime manufacturers attempted
to prove that they can produce the
product at much cheaper price than
the state could quote, because the man
ufacturers sell oyster shell lime as a
by-product.
Several local option measures came
before the House on Tuesday and favor
able reports were adopted without de-
bate, the idea of the members seeming
to be that the members of county dele
cations should decide local questions.
One bill prohibits the sale of liquor in
the Twelfth election district of Prince
Georges county.
House bill 1926 prohibits the sale OF
liquor within two miles of Riggs Mill,
Chillum district.
House Bill 974 prohibits the sale of
liquor in Riverdale district. this county.
