Keeping Roads Good.

Maryland road builders can be pattern
ed after with profit by the State Highway
Department of Pennsylvania. The State
Highway from Conowingo to Bel Air,
Hartford county, constructed a few years
ago, is fine one and is as good now as
when it was built. The road authorities
there do not wait until the road is in bad
condition before looking after 1t. The
traveller there finds small piles of crushed
stone at short distances apart along the
side OF the macadam road and barrels of
liquid binder at intervals. This liquid is
applied in the condition it comes from the
barrel. not being necessary to boil II before
it is free flowing and ready to apply.
After it is springled on the road the fine
crushed stone is then applied and the
work can not be detected from that done
when the road was built. This LIQUID
keeps down the dust and keeps the road
from wearing out.-Quarryville Sun.

oILIN6 STATE ROADS.
Work Completed At Cost Of
Sl85. 200.

The annual task of spreading oil on the
state roads has practically been completed
at an outlay OF $Is5,ooo. Even some of
the concrete roads have been coated, with
view to the elimination of dust and the
minimizing of wear and tear.
Members of the State Roads Commits
sion are convinced that the money spent
in oiling the improved highways is well
spent. The oil acts as binder. lays the
dust, lessons the harmful results of frost
and freezing and reduces the wear and
tear. Automobiles. and others who use
the oil roads agree that oil is beneficial
after it soaks in and after it hardens. but
it is another story while it is sticky and
soggy like molasses on hot day.
The commission is building mile of
road each day through the score or more
contractors. who have their work well in
hand. Chairman Weller and Chief Engi-
neer Shirley last week completed an in
spection of roads on the Eastern Shore.
These inspection trips are taken from
time to time. not only to see that the
roads are built according to specifications.
but also to put more speed in dilatory
contractors.
Chairman Weller gives assurances
that within year there will be COM
plete system of good roads. all linked up
from Garrett to Worcester county.
One of the tasks of the commission is
the construction Of four bridges. These
include the new structure to span the
Spring Gardens. work on which will begin
at an early date; the College Greek bridge.
in Anne Arundel county. over the Patap-
SEQ River, at Ellicott City. and over the
Patapsco on the Liberty road. The latter
two bridges are to replace old covered
wooden structures which were recently
burned. The next General Assembly will
be asked to make an appropriation for
more bridges, the construction of which
promises to occupy great deal of the at
tention of the roads commission in the
future. Among the bridges of the future
is one to span the Sinnepuxent Bay at
Ocean City. thus connecting with that re-
sort the magnificent concrete road now
under construction between Salisbury and
Ocean City, at total cost of about
5000, 900.

peaches Sold By the Pound.

Peach growers in the South Mountain
fruit belt. Smithsburg, Washington
county. Md. have been selling their
crop by the pound this year. The price
received last week for the first large pur-
chase of rs carloads. the output of four or
chards. was two cents pound for the
fruit. This is the first time peaches have
been sold by the pound in large quantities.
A shortage of the peach crop in New
York and parts of Canada has driven
Northern buyers to the Maryland or
chards 1t is estimated that the peach
crop in the Smithsburg belt alone will
amount TO 1000 carloads-the largest in
the history of this section. Many grow
ers who have been meeting with short
crops in the past years will reap small
fortunes this year.

Open Season for Reed Birds.

Notices have been issued by the U. S.
Department of Agriculture calling atten-
ton to proposed amendment in the
Federal regulations for the protection of
migratory, insectivorous birds. Under
the new rule reed or rice birds can be
shot in September and October in the
States of New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and
Delaware, Maryland. the District of Col
umbia. Virginia. and South Carolina.
The law requires three months notice of
this charge. If 1t is decided to adopt 1t,
the rule will be officially promulgated at
the end OF that time and will go into effect
on September 7. 1914.
The effect of this change will be to ex-
tend to sportsmen in New Jersey. Pennsyl-
vania, and Delaware the privilege of
shooting the birds during period of two
months. This they can now do in Mary
land. the District of Columbia. Virginia.
and South Carolina. AS the season Is so
short it is not believed that the birds will
suffer appreciably in numbers.
In the late summer and early fall. they
migrate to the far South, where they are
known as reed or rice birds They are
regarded in the States where they can now
be shot as offering good sport.

DEPTH OF The TILE DRAINS
Type Of Soil and Fall Of Land Must
Be Taken Into Consideration
Before Starting Work.

IN putting IN a system OF tile drain
age We must consider the type OF the
soil 70 be drained as we'll as the fall
OF the land before We decide upon
the size OF the tile and the depth Il
IS TO be placed.
On a coarse soil. where the object
OF the drainage system IS TO remove
the soil water from around the roots
OF the plants. the tile should be laid
three or four feet deep. but on a
clay soil. believe that the tile should
be laid as shallow as Is consistent
With the climatic conditions and the
fall OF the land
On clay soils the chief object OF
tile drainageis 10 remove the surface
water as rapidly as possible after
heavy rains before It ruins the grow
ing crops
To do this Il must have an easy
access 20 the tile and for this reason
they should not be put down more
than two or two and half feet deep.
On clay soil II requires longer for
the tile drainage system 20 become
efficient after II IS installed. because
Il takes longer for the watercourses
10 form through the cracks. decayed
root passages and animal burrows.
hence we will secure better imme-
diate results from a shallow system
OF drainage than when the tile are
placed deep.
Il has required a number % years
for some Of the systems OF drainage
20 become efficient in clay soils and
few farmers can afford 20 wait a
number OF years for results.
On one Of our farms the tile drains
were installed 20 years ago and are
doing far better work today than they
did the first ten years they were put
in. These drains we're put in from
three 20 four feet deep and for the
FIRST few years they did very poor
service.
