1TIzEN. FREDERICK, MD.

For a number Of years the Maryland
Agricultural Experiment Station has
been testing alfalfa on the various soil
types of the State now under cultiv-
alton. These tests, together with the
successful experiment of many farmers
have proven beyond doubt, that un-
der favorable conditions alfalfa can
be grown successfully on practically
all soils of the state. 1t must be I'M
derstood, however, that as with other
crops some soils grow it far more sue
cessfully than do others. This is most
strikingly illustrated by the lime stone
soils of Frederick, Washington, Bal
timore and other counties, which af
ter they are once inoculated and in the
proper state of fertility, will grow fair
crops of alfalfa as easily as good crops
of red clover. On the Eastern Shore
and in Southern Maryland, the sas-
safras soils are best adopted to its
growth; particularly the water fronts
containing large quantities of oyster
shells. Next in Importance are the
mica clay and clay loan soils, pre-
dominating in Montgomery, Howard,
Carroll, Hartford, Baltimore and Cecil
counties. All other soils excepting
poor sandy and one or two other min
or types, will produce alfalfa with a
fair degree of success when properly
treated. Usually, however, the pro-
duction of alfalfa on these soils is
rather expensive.
Three sessions of the institute will
be held at Jefferson today, where ar
rangements have been made by COM
mittee composed of L. G. Miller, chair
man; c. A. Kemp, secretary; w. d.
Stockman, c.. William Ahalt and Rus
sell Hilleary. The topics on which
lectures will be given there are alf-
alta, wheat, corn and stock raising.
Through some misunderstanding
announcement has been made that the
institute will be held at both Mount
Airy and Jefferson, today. There will
be no sessions at Mount Airy, as the
lecturers will be there during Febru
ary

WastefuIness Of Our People.

Pages and volumes have been writ
ten about the wastefulness of the peo-
pie of this country 1T may be called
one of the besetting sins of the Amer
lean people. 1t is waste, waste, from
the harvest fields to the kitchen.
Enough is wasted to fed every des.
titute family in the country if it could
be saved and judiciously applied
But there is a waste of which less
is said than of the necessaries of life.
1t is waste of life and of health.
Thousands there be, who grow per-
maturely old for the reason that they
burn too much of the candles of life
at both ends. Men in business, am
bilious to succeed and amass riches,
work all the time and never take a
rest. Their lives are constant strain
upon their physical and mental
strength. One may think he can stani
all work and no rest, but by and by
when it is too late, he discovers his
weakness.
What hundreds of thousands of
Americans should learn and practice
is that reasonable rest is as essen
tial as to know how to work. If that
Is ignored, impairment of health is a
certainty and premature end of ones
powers. 1t is to that sort of waste
the American people should give more
consideration than they do.-Knox-
Vile Journal and Tribune.

EUROPEAN PINES A MENACE.
Public Hearing On The Question OF
Prohibiting ImpOrtatiOns Announced.


Washington, D. c., Jan. 27.-Be-
cause of the danger of American nur-
sery stock a public hearing will be
held February 2, 1915 at the Depart
ment of Agriculture to discuss pro-
posed quarantine on the Importation
CT all pines from Europe. During the
past year imported pines have been
found to be infested with the Euro
pean pine shoot moth. In Europe this
is one of the principal insect enemies
Of pines and is especially destructive
in nurseries, young forests, and orna-
mental plantations. 1t kills or in
jIres the young twig growth and de-
forms the tree to serious extent.
In this country. the insect seems to
be still confined to the European pines
in Connecticut, Illinois, Massachusetts,
New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsyl-
vania, Rhode Island, and West Vir-
ginia. Strenuous efforts are already
being made to stamp it out and it 5
believed that these will be successful
if no further importations of infested
stock are permitted.
The white pine blister rust has al
ready resulted in the exclusion of all
five-leafed pines from Europe and
Asia. The proposed quarantine will ex-
tend this prohibition to all classes of
pines from Europe. No restriction is
proposed on the importation of pine
seed. The hearing will be held at
1000 A. M.

Prepare for Dear Eggs.

Washington, D.. c., Jan. 27.-The
weekly news letter published by the
Department of Agriculture issues the
following advice to poultry producers:
If the farmer wishes to benefit by
the high prices that eggs are certain
to bring next fall and winter, ne
should begin to get ready for them at
once, say the poultry specialists in the
department. The way to have eggs
late in the year is to hatch pullets
early. 1t is early matches from which
the early pullets are derived that are
the largest money makers for the
poultry producer. The early Matched
cockerels can be marketed in almost
any market in America when they at
tain a weight of three-fourths of
pound to a pound and half each,
which they should reach at about 6
to 10 weeks of age, respectively, at a
greater profit to the producer than at
any other time of their lives. The
early Matched pullets, if properly
grown, should begin to lay in the fall
at the time when eggs are scarce and
high in price.
Pullets must be we'll matured be-
fore they will lay many eggs.
Pullets that start to lay in the fail
before cold weather sets in will; as
rule, lay all winter.
1t is the early Matched pullets that
produce eggs in the fall and early
winter, when prices ar high.
February, March, and April are the
months to do your Matching in order
to secure early Matched pullets.
Yearling and 2-year-old hens do not
lay many eggs in the fall, as they are
Noting at that time, and the feed they
consume goes not only to keep up the
energy and life of the birds but also
to put on or grow new coat of
feathers.
In properly matured pullets all sur
plus energy beyond that needed to
meet the requirements of the body is
available for the production of eggs.
Write the Secretary of Agriculture,
Washington, D. c., for free bulletins
on poultry management.

FRIDAY, JANUARY 30, 1915.

The Baltimore papers few days ago
had articles describing the wonderful
success that General Murray Vandiver,
Treasurer of the State of Maryland, and
Chairman of the Democratic State Cen
tral Committee had with his peach crop
last season. As the Baltimore Sun says
in an editorial, Few persons outside of
the Colonel's intimate friends knew of
his activities along the lines of husbandry
and horticulture, as they have always
associated him with matters pertaining to
politics. - But it seems that when not
playing this fascinating game. at which
the General has displayed most admir-
able capabilities, he devotes much of his
time to the raising of fruits on his broad
acres near Havre de Grace. TO the
newspaper representative, General Van.
diver gave much credit to Mr. William
G. Travers, representative of the
Maryland Agricultural College, who as
sisted him on many occasions with wise
advice and counsel, and who made it
possible for him to increase his peach
production from To- 600 baskets to 81
600 baskets of peaches.
This matter Of increasing yield of any
fruits, cereals, or other products of the
soil, is giving the Agricultural Depart
ment in Washington and farmers through
out the country much concern, as they
all seem to feel, now especially, the need
of making two blades grow where one
grew before. General Vandiver believes
much of his success was due to scientific
spraying, about which the Agricultural
College authorities have been preaching
to fruit growers for many years. This
department is ever willing to give any in
formation to anyone who writes for it,
aad regularly issues bulletins on this and
other subjects pertaining to the better
raising of the products of the soil.
Last week We had an article in which
We commented ON the value of the Farm
ers Institutes, which this week are hold
ing forth in Frederick county, and we
are glad to say that reports show
widely inceased interest in them. At
all the places where they were held in
the county, large crowds attended them,
and in some places the affair was in the
nature Of large celebration. This indi-
Gates most clearly that farmers here are
wide awake to their own betterment. and
are taking advantage of every opportu-
nifty to broaden their knowledge and OBJ
tain the help that is theirs for the SIM
pie asking.
We congratulate General Vandiver
upon his success in raising peaches and
trust that he will manage to keep up his
political average in the same proportion.

you give your work to union men

have no recourse. Play safe and

banks to turn over to the union the
accrued dividends on the deposits of
