Maryland Agricultural Experiment

Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.
In the spring of 1911, Jas. D. Harvey,
of Deer Park, Garrett County, for
warded to the Maryland Experiment
Station sample of the Empire State
potato. He said it grew especially
well under his conditions, and he had
been growing it without change OF
seed for thirty years. 1t was planted
alongside of a sample of the same
variety from dealer in Northern New
York. The growth and appearance
were almost the same. They with
stood the drouth better than many OF
the other varieties and were the best
yielders' of that season. The Garrett
County seed yielded at the rate OF
twenty bushels per acre more than
the New York seed.
Experiments begun as early as the
spring Of 1908 along this line indicate
that the cool climate Northern seed is
grown in accounts for its superiority
over home grown seed. So the good
results from Garrett County seed are
probably due to the cooler climate it
is grown in. There is no good reason
why farmers living in the mountain
Gus districts of Maryland should not
supply the Eastern and tidewater
counties with better seed than can be
grown in Maine. This could, of course
best be done by concerns or associa
tions that could handle the potato seed
in. carload lots and keep Maryland
money in the State.

GREAT WALL OF CHINA

@Aular Mechanics Magazine for
April Says that few people realize
what an almost perfect condition
prevails along a large part of the
great wall Of China. The bricks
of the parapet are as firm as ever,
and their edges have stood the Sc
veie climatic conditions north Of
China with scarcely a break. The
paving along the too of the wall
is so smooth that one may ride
over 1t with a bicycle, and the great
granite blocks with which it is fac
ed r smooth and as closely fitted
as when put in place over 1000
years ago. The entire length of
this wall is l,400 miles, it is 90 feet
high and 20 feet in thickness. At
intervals of every 100 yards or So
there r towers some 30 feet
.jn height.

As TO MINING" GRAIN

An old, mill man, says-a contem-
porary, who seldom got out of the
hills, spent some time last summer
in eastern South Dakota, and saw
for the first time a threshing ma
chine in operation, says the Engi-
neering and Mining Journal. He
watched with wonderment the bum
dies of wheat being swallowed up
by the hungry cylinder, the straw
shot out from the windstacker in
an pnbroken stream, and the wheat
neatly packed up by a mechanical
device. and finally, his curiosity
prompted him Ito inquire of the
machine man:

miner who was so badly beaten up
by the degenerate Indian hear Sill

Grafton took two hours to perform
and was q most serious one. A
large amount Of bone was removed
from the right upper jaw, from the
nose and from a wound about the
left eye. A fracture of the skull
was found extending some eight
inches in length from the back of
the head to the broken bone around
the left eye.
Last night at about midnight
the condition of the suffering man
was far from favorable. He re-
covered consciousness during the
evening and stated to his nurse that
he was feeling better. His tenn
perature commenced to rise, how
ever, and last night he was in a
critical condition and but little hope
is held for his recovery. Carson

LAHQnTlN DAN now
10 FEET ABOVE BED

The work Of building the Lahon-
tan dam is proceeding highly salts
f%aetorily, according to the project
officials, Monday the down stream
portion whicn is constructed of
gravel had reached a height of
seventy feet above the stream bed.
Work is in progress filling in the
temporary spillwsy and another
concrete step is being placed there,
which will allow raising the tenn
porary spillwas ten feet. AS the
dam structure moves upward this
temporary spillway is maintained
always at an elevation 10 feet low
er than the structure. This pro-
vides a spIllway for emergency
purposes. Should a sudden warm
rain send the food down from the
mountain the project authorities
would be prepared for it at any
time.

THE PLUMBING ORDINANCE

The plumbing ordinance is still
open for discussion. If an ordi-
nance of that kind is adopted, it
should contain a provision proEib.
itinR the inspector from being &C
lively engaged in the plumbing
business. He should not be con-
nected with any establishment in
town engaged in the plumbing
business. If he is connected with
n shop and the sewer Inspector
with another, it will result in driv-
ing other plumbers out of business
and the town will be at the mercy
of the two shops represented by
the two, inspectors. We do not
believe that any chances of bring
ing about such a condition should
be taken by the town.
If it is necessary to have the
plumbing and the sewers inspect
ed, the two positions should BIZ
combined and one inspector ap-
pointed to attend to both st a reas-
enable salary and he should not be
connected with any plumbing es-
Enlistment. We decidedly object
to the ordinance in its present
shape.

thea called. She was still on the
stand when the noon recess was
taken. Her examination was con-
cluded and W. F. R, hereford was

ing an order from Mr.. Billings for
$26 on Huber sometime in the lat
ter part of 1911, or the first Of

ed the order to Huber who said It
