The County Demonstrators.

We have been informed that there is
more orless misunderstanding with regard
to the County Demonstrator in this coun-
ty. 1t is always understood that.if dem
onstrator goes to farmer and his advice
is OF any use to him that it is worth his
entertainment. for if it is not worth that
much it is not worth taking up the farmers
time talking to him. If demohstrator
drives from fifteen to twenty five miles
out in the country and back into Elkton
the same night it does not leave very
much time for talking to the farmers in
the neighborhood. and is the cause. of a
great loss of time that could be much
better employed.
AS we look at the subject it seems 10 us
that if the farmers who live at distance
from Elkton wish to avail themselves of
the county demonstrators services. it is
up to them to arrange for entertainment
in their district SO that he can spead from
two 10 three days in their neighborhood,
which will give all the farmers who wish
to, chance to meet him and discuss
farm problems with him.

TOME SCHOOL SUES.
Files Bill Against owners OF Stone
Quarry.

Claiming that the almost constant
blasting of stone has greatly injured its
valuable property and caused physical
discomfort to its teachers. officers and
students. the Jacob Tome Institute, at
Port Deposit. has filed bill of complaint
in the Circuit Court against the Casparis
Stone Company. which owns qnarries
near Havre de Grace. The bill was fled
by William S. Evans, of the Elkton bar.
The bill recites that the Casparis Stone
Company Is corporation of the State of
Ohio and is engaged in quarrying stone
about FIVE miles from the school that for
about four years it has used large quanti-
ties of powder. dynamite or other ex-
plosives in displacing the stone at in
tervals between o'clock a. m. and 9
o'clock p. m, during nearly every day in
the week; that the blasting has greatly
deprecated and injured the plaintiffs
property and damaged and made it un-
desirable for the purposes to which it has
been devoted and dedicated.
The court is asked to enjoin and
strictly prohibit the blasting at unreason-
able hours and times. and in such way
and manner as will produce loud noises.
No date has been set for the hearing of
the case.

Crisfleld's Clam Industry.

The record shipment of clans from
Cris6eld was made recently when
Messrs. w. L. and o. P. Gibson shipped
a solid carload from that point for distri-
button in northern markets. The clans
were in sacks of 500 each. and in the car
were approximately 100000 clans.
Never before in the history of the clam
industry has one firm shipped that guam
tity at one time. from Cris6eld.
The clam industry, practically unknown
a few years ago. has grown to be one of
the most important branches of the sea
food business of this great sea food centre.
Twenty years ago few clans were
caught in adjacent waters and brought to
Crisfieid in small quantities, bringing
from ST. 90 to $I2s per thousand. The
industry has continued to increase until
the present annual shipment of clans
from Cris6eld will exceed go, ooo, 900
clans, and they are distributed to every
important market in the United States.
More than 100 persons are engaged in the
catching and shipping OF clans at this
point. and large amounts of money are
turned over in the industry.
The larger part of the clans shipped
from Cris6eld are caught in Pocomoke
and Tangier Sounds, and in some sections
OF the Great Annamessex River. They
are found just beneath the surface of the
bottom, where they are dug from their
place of growth Instead of growing in
punches and mats as oysters grow. they
are caught single. hut in beds of consider
able quantity.
Prices for clans have advanced rapidly
during the past few years, just as the
supply and demand have advanced.
While $500 to SIPS per thousand was
considered a good price years ago. at
times during the season the price in the
Cris6eld market often exceeds $1,000 per
IhousaRd On an average the clans sold
to Cris6eld shippers, bring about IS, go per
thousand, while the price received by the
shippers will exceed aA average of So, so
per thousand. Ia the hotels, cafes and
raw bars ithe larger cities they sell at so
cents per dozen.
