Badly Cut In Fight

William Woodrow, of Perryville,
was stabbed several times with a knife
by James Watson, during a quarrel
near Perryville, last Saturday night.
At hearing before Magistrate Jack
son, at Perryville, Sunday, Watson
was held for the action of the Grand
Jury, and committed to Elkton Jail.
There had been bad blood between the
two for more than a year, and Satur-
day evening friends tried to make
peace between them, which ended in
the opposite. Watson claims that
Woodrow attacked him and that he
used his knife in self-defense, while
Woodrow states that Watson slashed
him with knife without warning and
that he only defended himself as best
he could. The wounds are numerous
and deep but are not thought to be
dangerous.

G. F. Marsh, County Agricultural
Agent, sends US the following alfalfa
notes:
Mr.. j. H. Kimble sowed one-half
a bushel of eighteen acres of wheat
last spring and the members of the
Cecil county Farmers Club were sur
prised to find that there were on the
average about one alfalfa plant to
every five or six feet. The alfalfa is
higher and making a much stronger
growth than the red clover.
Mr.. w. T. Fryer. Colora, stated that
he sowed alfalfa on a poor piece of
land, and that he cut fair crops of hay
from it for three years, when he plow-
ed it up and planted to corn, when he
obtained the best that had ever been
grown on the land. He considers al
falfa the best renovator for poor land
that is known.
Alfalfa has also been grown up in
the Eighth district with some success.
DR.. Regin said that he had couple of
acres of alfalfa several years ago,
which produced good crops for num-
ber of years; he then turned the pigs
in on it and while he never had hogs
fatten so readily they finished up the
alfalfa.
DR.. Roman sowed a small plot five
years ago which has produced good
crop each year and there is still fair
sprinkling of strong alfalfa plants
over the plot vet.

SHIPPING FRUIT IN 30 DAYS

The Secretary of the Cecil Farmers
Club sends us the following:
"The committee of the Cecil Far
mers Club, in behalf of the Rising
Sun-Fair Hill road, after two per-
sonal requests and one letter asking
for an interview, had been entirely
ignored, reported as follows
So far as We are able to deter
mine from conversation with off
cials of the State Roads Commission
and others with influence in road
matters, there is no intention to
conrect the links OF roads as first
laid out in this county and started
by the first State Roads Commits
sion.
The large sum of money coming
into our county by law of last Leg
islature has been spent on the roads
running along the P. B. R. R. as
requested by the International Au-
tomobile Association and against
the interests fthe tax payers of
the county.
New York interests seem to con-
troll the situation and further seem
to be opposed to improving the Ris-
ing Sun-Fair Hill road.
In view of past history We believe
they will do all in their power to
prevent US from having any say
where the money we pay in taxes
shall be spent"
