NOTES ON THE GAME.

Some improvement might be made
on ground rules. Instead Of a three.
base hit being allowed for hit In the
left field timber, they could make
the game better by allowing only two
bases on same hit,
O'Brien probably thought the boys
were playing bean Ball" as he was
twice In one inning.
Our locals need great improve.
ment In base.running and batting. In
batting some stand too far from the
plate and others do the Isaac Wal

Treat Hard Alfalfa Seed.

In testing alfalfa seed for germina-
ton, it will be noticed that some seeds
will not terminate, although they are
healthy in appearance and not decay
ed at the end of the test. These are
termed hard seeds" They have I'M
usually hard seed coats, which pre-
vent them from taking up water read
lily. These seeds terminate readily
when the seed coats are scratched. In
former years 1t was thought that hard
seeds in alfalfa and clover were as so
much inert matter. IL IL reasonable,
however, to believe that many OF the
seeds become sufficiently scratched
during seeding operations that they
will grow at once, while others will
grow later Experimental work il
being done along this line and it is
hoped that soon the hard seeds in al
falfa will De found nearly as useful a.
the others 1t is found that alfalfa
seed from the various states differs
greatly as to the percentage Of hard
seeds.
The Minnesota seed laboratory, In
its enforcement of the new seed law,
has made a regulation regarding the
hard seeds in alfalfa and the clovers
as follows: That, in placing the ger
mination test on the label when seed
is sold one-half the percentage Of hard
seed may be added to the percentage
OF seeds that terminated.

Tobacco Stems and Stalks are Valu-
able Fertilizers.

Should the demand of Europe for
American tobacco stems cease, these
stems, which contain large quantities
of plant food, especially potash, may
be used to good advantage by the
American grower of tobacco as fer
tiiizer. Soil fortified by these stems
secured from the cigar and tobacco
factories and stemmeries, will produce
leaf-tobacco of better burning quail
ties and texture.
Tobacco stems as fertilizer should
be applied in smaller quantities than
manure, because they contain larger
quantities of the constituents which
feed the plant, according to the De-
partment's tobacco specialists. 2 tons
per acre OF "seed stems" (stems from
cigar factories) or 21a tons of Ken
lucky stems" stems from tobacco
factories and stemmeries) are known to
give good results in New England
and. 90 far as available, these stems
will undoubtedly furnish a very salts
factory source of potash. as we'll as
used freely as fertilizer for tobacco
sections.
Considerable quantities OF tobacco
stems have long been exported to
Germany and other parts Of Europe
where they are often used in the
manufacture of low-grade smoking
tobacco and a. a source OF nicotine.
Tobacco stalks which are not re-
moved from the farm under prevailing
methods, are not always used to the
best advantage as a fertilizer. Like
the stems, they contain considerable
quantities Of valuable plant food
Though not 50 much) and may be
used freely az, fertilizer for tobacco
and other crops. They may be profit
ably used to improve the hay lot BY
simply spreading the stalks over the
land in the fall or they may be plowed
under at the same season for culti-
waited crops such as cotton, corn, to-
bacco, etc The practice of piling to-
bacco stalks in heaps and leaving
them exposed to the weather means a
waste OF valuable material that might
be returned to the soil. The practice
of burning them il also wasteful IN
less they are infected by such seri-
Gus disease as Granville wilt.

IA Modern AIIegOry.

Fifty-nine years ago some progress
sive ideas were mated. The result
was the formation of the Agricultural
a. Mechanical Association of WASH
ington County, now known as the
Great Hagerstown Interstate Fair.
From the beginning it was precocious
1t wabbled through its first few years.
Finally, it gained steadiness, and
then, suddenly, it went forward by
leaps and bounds. Now it's size and
strength are famed and ii is the
acknowledged leader Of its class It
occupied three different locations be-
fore it secured a fixed habitat. Every
one now knows its home and most
are informed ais to its size and activ-
tiles. They know that Hagerstown
now has the greatest Fair in captiv-
ity and hundreds OF thousands have
come to visit it, but haven't taken
time to study its habits or to- learn
why it has grown into its present
mammoth self or become SO popular.
This WHY has certainly become i'm
portant. Here is the answer in three
simple sentences:
II was the result OF the union Of
fundamentally right ideas.
It has been reared on strengthening
food, by wise nurses, who have sue
cessfully corrected its ailments and
directed its development. 1t has learn
ed the lesson that it's missions to
tighten the peoples burdens and to
help carry them into the promised
land. Strong as it IL it does not vet
know its own strength. Each year
records the development of some new
muscle heretofore untried. Each year
it attracts the interests OF new class
Of people by some new performance
and more people OF the old classes by
more proficient services, each year it
more easily breasts the gradually de-
creasing waves OF adverse criticism
and progresses further on the way to
where harmony and knowledge make
life worth while. For this strong
giant we bespeak indulgence for tenn
porary failures and assistance and CO
operation from the people, to the end
that this Great Fair may reach com
| plete maturity and achieve still more
glori Jus possibilities.

Purchases and Profits!

Though certain unsophisticated peo-
pie have opinions to the contrary, the
ordinary articles of merchandise
which all OF us purchase do not
yield to the Storekeeper large profit.
The up-to-date Storekeeper depends
on many sales and small profits. To
make decent living he must serve
many customers. Competition IL keen.
One is not obliged to trade at any par
ticular store. Comparison may be
made. Bargain Sales are given every
week. Splendid values are offered
offered you by Home Merchants. The
shrewd individual that believes that
he or she can send away to some
House in another part Of the country
get something for next to nothing
or get something for next to nothing
is very much mistaken person.
If you buy from a Home Merchant,
you can handle the goods. You can
look them over carefully. You can
compare them with the offerings or
other merchants. When you decide,
you have pretty nearly secured what
you wanted. But when you send your
money away, perhaps you get what
YOU want, and perhaps you do not.
Perhaps the article is what you ex-
pected, and perhaps il liz not. Per-
haps the illustration f1attered It, Per-
haps it does not seem to be so much
WHEN YOU HOLD iii I'M YOUR
HAND.
The Mail Order Houses have long
since discovered that after a person
makes a purchase that he or she will
rarely ever send it back. "A great
business in Hosiery has been built on
the Popular Guarantee that the
Hosiery will wear six months.
Whether the Hose wears you six
months or not, you do not know.
After you have worn them two months
you forget all about them, and if you
do not forget, who is it that will re
turn to manufacturer in some far-off
City sock through which his great
toe has punched a hole? Not you!-
Not me-
And that Is the principle upon which
the Mail Order Houses work They
figure that you will keep the goods,
whether or not they will come up to
your expectations, and that two or
three months hence, when you order
again, you will forget that you were a
little disappointed in what you last
purchased. 1t Is very interesting,
very adventurous, to send your money
away for something you have never
seen. But it is not good business,-it is
not good economy,-it is not common
sense,-it Is not fair to your Home
Merchant, it is not fair to your Home
-Town,-and lastly, it is not fair to
yourself
Forget the Mail Order House and do
your shopping AT HOME.
