Farm Notes Of Interest to All



1t does not take prophet to see
that at least for next year and per-
haps few years after, in case the
war should continue, diversified
planting and livestock feeding will
be the safest and most economical
practice, at least for those who are
not situated for specialization. It
would seem from the present indi-
cations, that the farm which pro-
duces food products. bread, meat,
and fruits, vegetables and home man
ufactured farm products-will have
a far better opportunity for the mar
ket than the farm that produces cot
tona,nd other crops which are large
ly dependent upon the markets OF
Europe.
We believe the European war will
make II moreimportant that the man
ager raise on his farm the animals
and the crops that are necessary TO
feed the family table and the farm
animals. Then instead of depending
upon Europe to manufacture our
money crop, we will raise crops that
the people both here and abroad
must have for food. This will rem
der the farmer nearly independent
and will give him chance to be
consulted in pricing and delivering
his product.
There are many who are situated
favorably for growing cotton. The
"fleecy staple" Is one of our surest
crops where the rainfall is rather
lisht and irregularly distributed. In
such sections cotton will continue to
be the leading crops. but self pres
ervation would suggest that other
crops be grown and that cotton be
the surplus instead of the only crop.
This IS an opportunity for the
Southern farmers to modify their
system of farm management In such
a manner that they will reap the
benefits OF better prices for food
products and at the same time keep
the price of cotton from sinking be-
low the level of profitable returns
because of the distributed manufac-
turing in Europe and commerce on
the high seas.
The outlook for better prices OF
this years cotton crop is brighter
as it is believed that the threatened
blockade will not be reality. Facil-
tiles are rapidly being arranged to
warehouse and finance the cotton
crop, thus relieving the tension toc-
casioned by the sudden drop in the
market a few weeks ago. But while
prospects are brighter let us look
to the future. Cotton does not seem
TO go far in buying bread, meat.
and other things even when the
prices are high. Nothing can be lost
by reducing the acreage next year

Taxes Roll Into the Golfers of
the City.

Up until Saturday night. approx
maiely S4,5 500 had been paid into the
Golfers of the city IN tax money. Civ
Register, Mr.. Bradley T. Nicodemus,
declared that tax money was coming
into the city regularly, and he said that
the collections were about on a par with
those of last year for the same period.
The city will collect in tax MONEYS
this year more than $4,000. which is
slightly more than last year. because of
the Increase in the taxable basis of the
city. The bulk of this tax mouev will be
paid into the city during the months of
August and sSeptember on which dis /.
counts are allowed. Besides the money
raised from taxation the city will get
about $4,000 or more from the water
rents and various sources of supply.
Delinquent taxes are coming i'll as rap
idly as can be expected, although there
IS still a comparatively large sum of
money out. The DAYS of grace for de.
llnquents expires September 1. and it is
more than likely that the Board Of Alder
men will press the payment of these
taxes. The question was taken up at
recent meeting of the board and The
majority OF the members are in favor of
forcing the payment OF these taxes. 1t is
TO be hoped that all delinquents will re-
spond to the call of the CITY Register
for the payment of back taxes.
Because Of the fact that the Board of
Aldermen fixed the tax rate few
weeks earlier than last year, a discount
OF 3 per cent. IS being allowed in the
month of August, instead Of September
The two per cent. discount will be allow
ed only for the month of September
after which no discount will be allowed.
The indications are that the collection
OF taxes this year will be about amonth
ahead of last year.

ed at the opposite end of the line in ex-
actly one hour. Mr. Oscar B. Coblentz
has taken up the proposition and is giving
II much of his time with the hope that
November l, or shortly after, that work
can be started upon the road.
1t has been decided to make the road
strictly local proposition and there are
fifteen men. residing al Frederick, along
the proposed route, and at Brunswick,
who have agreed to assume all the stock
OF the road, and are now engaged in put
ting upon the market the bonds. The
company. which will build the line has
been Incorporated for 500, 900, and the
plan is to issue SIoo. 600 worth of bonds.
The bonds are to be first mortgage bonds,
bearing five per cent. interest, and will
be sold at 95, thus making the actual
money invested bear interest at the rate
of 81 per cent
The plan is to construct a road from
Jefferson, where the Hagersrown and
Frederick Railway now ends to Bruins
wick, by way Of Petersvile The section
of Frederick county traversed is a rich
agricultural section and is now without
railroad facilities.

A Good Hay Crop
is a Money Getter
Can Be Insured BY Up-To-Date
Methods Of Soil Preparation
and Seeding.
NICHOLAS SCHMITZ.
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.

Compared with wheat, the value per
acre of the hay crop in this State is
higher and practically equal TO that
of corn, yet the methods commonly EN-:
ployed in producing the crop are no
different now from what they were so
years ago.
AS result the yield of the hay dur.
ing this time has remained practically
the same while the quality if anything
has deteriorated.
The remedy for this condition is
simple. 1t is to be found in a change
of cultural methods. Instead OF seed
ing timothy in the fall with wheat, an0
adding clover in the early spring, the
wheat should be seeded without the
grass, and after harvest, the stubbles
should be plowed down and timothy
and clover seeded without a nurse
crop. There is no better time for do,
ing this than the latter part of July
or early August in the mountain sec
tons to early September in the south
ern and eastern counties of the State.
If the seeding cannot be done during
or before early September, then the
clover should be left out as it is very
apt to winter kill if seeded later
To be successful the land should be
plowed as early as possible, and work
ed into fine, firm seed bed. When
seeded under such conditions full
crops of first class hay free from
weeds may be expected the following
season. The yield will be enough
higher over seeding the old way, to
pay for the extra labor in preparing
the land. What is more, the second
season the crop will be much better
than if it had been seeded in wheat
A good rate of seeding is timothy, S
to II pounds; red clover, to 8 pounds
and red top, to pounds.
If red clover is not Doing well on
the farm then to pounds of alsike
clover should be substituted for the
red clover
The seed may be mixed together
and sown through the grass seeding
attachment of the wheat drill, or other
devices for seeding grass, but the
stand of clover will be a little more
uniform if it is sown separate The
seed should always be covered lightly
with a spike tooth harrow, weeder OF
brush drag.

Find Centralized Schools Fa-
vOred.

BY census of four schools in Wood
vile District. composed of the school
patrons of Friendship Prospect. Plane
No. a and Harrisville schools, about 90
per cent. of the patrons favor a central
lied school. School Superintendent
Palmer stated recently that this was the
first census taken in the county, and had
been taken b. the teachers of those
schools and had been forwarded to the
Board. Superintendent Palmer and
School Commissioner James Fl Gam
brill, Jr., few days ago made a trip to
some of the schools in question, and in.
terviewed the patrons and found the sen
timent very strong for a central school
In this particular locality should the
schools be centralized, a four room
building would have to be provided, and
nothing gained. SO far as the expenses are
concerned by the centrallzing idea, and
OF course four teachers employed, but
then the children would be much better
trained
Superintendent Palmer stated that it
would be the aim of the School Board
to endeavor to centra ize more and more
the public schools of this county. He
careful study of the school system of
the county, with the idea of centraIizlng,
yet cursory examination of all OF the
schools, shows that about IS central
schools would be necessary. He states
that he fully believes that by caieful
system of centralizing, and the placing of
the central schools at the most advanta-
geous points, that the teaching force
could be reduced fully one-third If not
one-half, and that the children would
still receive mucl better instruction.
Mr.. Palmer added that should any
schools, at any place, be centralized,
that the School Board will see that the
children are transported to and from the
school, and this done at the expense Of
the School Board He stated that the
transportation expenses will be very
small as compared to the amounts which
must be paid for the larger teaching
force.

FIGHTING MITES.
ROY II. WAITE.
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.

The warm weather of the summer
months is particularly favorable &c
the growth of insect pests of poultry
and especially to the red mite which
annoys the birds While on the roosts
This creature not only initiates the
birds by marching around on theii
bodies, but he bites hole in the skin
and sucks the blood. This is why nd
is red in the morning after his nights
feed, and is why he is given the name
red mite"
1t Is no great trouble to suDdue
these pests if one keeps after them
AS they stay in the house during the
day hiding under the roosts and in the
cracks we find it simple matter to
keep them in check and to destroy
them if the treatment is kept up regu.
larly. Painting the roosts and nests
with kerosene oil once a week while
the house is infested and once a month
thereafter will keep a flock free from
their ravages.
Several proprietary products for kill.
Ing mites are on the market and these
are usually effective if directions are
followed
