To Adjust Light Rates.

The Hagerstown and Frederick
Railway Company, it is understood,
has been considering for some time
the adjustment of its electric light
rates. 1t is believed that some def
mite action will be taken in the near
future in regard to the question. The
rate question has been under consid-
Grafton for some time, and was in
fact seriously considered shortly at
ter the city granted a fifty-year fran
chise to the railway company.
When the Board Of Aldermen grant
ed the ffty-year franchise to the rail-
way company, the officials of the com
many intimated to the members of the
board that there would be more than
likely some adjustment of electric
light rates. Shortly after that the
question was brought up by the com
pany and has been under Amusement
since that time.
Declaring that the price per kilo-
watt for electric light was entirely too

member of the Frederick Bar. appear
ed before the Board Of Aldermen last
night and urged that the Aldermen
file a petition with the Public Service
Commission asking for an adjustment
of the electric light rates.
Mr.. Etchison said that he had APP
peared with delegation of stockhold-
ers and officials of the railway com
pany when the franchise question was
brought up and asked that the city
grant the franchise He said that it
was M understanding that something
had been said about the adjustment Of
the electric light rates, if the fran
chise was given.
Many Months Have Passed.
Mr.. Etchison declared that although
about six or seven months has pass
ed. apparently nothing had been done
by the railway company. Information
was submitted by Mr.. Etchison to the
effect that the income from the sale
of electric light by the Gas and Elec-
trio Department of the company was
about four times more than the in
terest charges on the bonds. This
data was given to Attorney Smith.

Plans Summer Session
For Rural Teachers.
In Teaching Agriculture In
Country Schools.

With our rapidly increasing popula-
ton, the demand for more food stuffs
is increasing daily, while the new land
we can bring under cultivation is COM
paratively small in area. We must
learn to use what we have to better
advantage. The public school with it's
country teacher, trained in agricul-
ture and home making, will do much
toward improving our methods.
To prepare teachers in such work,
the Agricultural College has provided
a six weeks summer course, beginning
June 22nd. Instruction will he given
in Elementary Agriculture, Domestic
Science and Art, Industrial Handiwork,
methods Of Teaching, History of Mary
land, State and National Constitutions,
Chemistry Botany, Zoology, and
Entomology that will give them an op-
portunity for practical, first hand study
of subjects that deal directly with
country life. This season of the year
is the most favorable for such study
at the Agricultural College as the Col
lege Farm with it's gardens, orchards,
field crops and fertilizer crops is at it's
best.
Any teacher or prospective teacher
who enrolls for this work will have
living expenses only to meet with
every chance for outdoor life and en-
joyment as we'll as study. This puts
a rare opportunity for preparing for
increased community usefulness within
the reach of every rural teacher in the
State.

GROW SOUND APPLES;.
NOT WORMY ONES.
Destroy the Cooling Moth and Insure
Sound Fruit.
T. B. SYMONS.
Maryland Agricultural College.

The Codling Moth is the insect
which makes your apples wormy and
unfit for storage. This pest can be so
efficiently controlled that it is utter
folly for the fruit grower to fan 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 a
chance to injure the fruit. This can
be done by spraying the trees with
the following mixture when the petals
have nearly all fallen:
Mixture No. l.
Concentrated Lime Sulphur, gallon.
Water, 40 gallons.
Arsenate of Lead, 2 to pounds.
Mixture No. 2 (Bordeaux).
Copper Sulphate, pounds.
Lime (Burned), pounds.
Water, SO gallons.
Aeeh"1o VI Aeou' W pouhuS'
Either mixture will do the work re-
quired. Mixture No. showing better
results with later sprayings. These
materials should be thoroughly mixed
and applied first as the petals fall and
again, ten days later, before the calyx
closes up. 1t is sometimes necessary
to spray again about the first of July
to catch the second brood which may
have escaped the early spray.

Fire Ruins Store and Burns
Tailor.

An explosion OF gasoline in the tailor
ing establishment of A. Leibschutz, on
East Patrick street, about ten O'Clock
Friday morning completely destroyed the
store and its contents and badly burned
Mr.. Liebschutz about the face and arms.
He was attended by Dr. Robert S. Ty-
son, who stated that the burns are very
painful, but not serious. 1t will be nee
essary for Mr.. Liebschutz to discontinue
his work for several days.
The building was owned by Charles F.
Schroedel. He estimates bis loss at
about 5000, and Mr.. Liebschutz stated his
loss would amount to about $500. A
number OF suits, among them one valued
at $50, belonging TO Mrs. Ben. Rosenour,
and several pairs of gloves that had been
brought to Mr.. Liebsehutz to be cleaned,
were burned up.
Immediately after the explosion the
flames spread rapidly and Mr.. Lieb.
schultz tried to put them out with his
hands. When the fire apparatus arrived
the whole room was a mass of flames.
Streams of water were thrown from the
front and the rear of the place and every
plate glass window in the room was
broken.

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

Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.
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. 1t makes it lighter
or puts what we call life" into it.
This makes it easier to work. Humus
acts like a sponge In holding soil
water, storing great deal of it and
letting the balance run off very slowly.
EumuS also makes a warmer soil since
soils containing it are darker in color
and warmer just as dark suit of
clothes is warmer to wear than a
lighter colored one.
This humus or organic matter also
furnishes food for the soil bacteria.
These bacteria are what break up
plant food so 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 himus 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 it. Since humus is so much need
ed in the soil, we are safe in saying
that before we can expect much of a
crop of any kind from unproductive
land, we must provide organic matter
either in the form Of stable manure or
green manure crops.
