you stopped to think that you can re

the pullets are, the better will be thelI

off the cockerels as soon as they get

MARYLAND'S INCOME AND OUTGO

A comparison of the report of
the Comptroller of the Treasury
of Maryland for the year ended
September 80, 1914, with that of
1904 shows that great changes
have come to pass in ten years.
In 1904 the direct tax upon prop
erty was -22a cents, the levy
amounting to 81, 531, 673. "a. Ten
years later the tax increased to
81 cents and the levy was So, 10O-
837.S9. The public school tax in
1904 yielded 1899, 477.S5; in 1914
it yielded 81. 548. In 1904
Baltimore paid for the county
schools s179, 900; in 1914 her con-
tribution was 1915, 900. In 1904
the assessed value Of the prop
erty Of the State for State taxa
ton was $3.50, TAB, 794. In 1914
it was $1,O26, O76, 735. The or
binary receipts into the treasury
from which the cost of govern
ment appropriations to institu-
tons, ETC., are paid were about
So, 800, 000-in 1914 about the
same. Total disbursements in
1904, including interest and sink
ing fund for the public debt,
were 81, 070, 010.15. In 1914 they
were S12, 999, 962.19 In these
figures, however, the actual con-
dition is not accurately shown,
for in the amount for 1914 are
contained several loans and the
repayment of 1864, 1929 to the
city of Baltimore, collected from
the liquor licenses in the city.
In 1904 the public debt had in
creased largely over the previous
year. But the gross debt was
then S7,926, 926.13 and the net
debt $3,142, 869.13. In 1914 the
gross debt had increased to 49,
6S5, 800.35 and the net debt to
2,219, 576.O1.
The expense of the State gov
eminent have nearly doubled in
ten years, while appropriations
to private schools and charities
have been greatly enlarged.
The increase in the appropria-
tons for charitable institutions
has been $3.50, 1000 over those of
ten years ago. 1t is apparent
from these figures how such a
misadventure as that to which
Comptroller Harrington recently
called attention could come
about. Baltimore Sun.

harness and saddles, zinc, horse
shoes and metal working machin-
cry. In a word, our export trade
has suddenly swollen into a vol
ume which our shipping facill-
ties cannot handle. All the pro-
liabilities are that we are just
at the beginning of a great rush
of trade to foreign ports.
The question is, What are we
going to do about it? What do
the opponents of the ship pur-
chase bill in Congress propose to
do about it? What we need is
ships. Nothing else will meet
the situation. If the opponents
of the ship purchase bill have a
substitute for that measure up
their sleeves" it is time for them
to produce it. A purely dog-in-
the-manger policy does not COM
mend itself to patriotism or COM
mon sense. Baltimore Sun.
The Prince George's enquirer and southern Maryland advertiser. (Upper Marlborough, Md.) 1882-1925, 1915-02-12
ONE FACT CERTAIN

Whatever differences of opin-
ion may exist in the Senate and
elsewhere as to the policy Of the
ship purchase bill, there is no
doubt as to the fact that we need
more ships to carry our COM
merce and that we need them as
quickly as it is possible to get
them. The reports received by
Secretary McAdoo leave no
ground for doubt about this one
dominating fact that we have
at our various Atlantic ports a
tremendous accumulation of
goods of all sorts which shippers
and consignees are anxious to
get across and that we havn't
nearly enough ships to take them
In point of fact, we are suffer-
ing from a partial embargo on
our commerce, and the only
thing that will relieve it is ships.
The same story comes from New
York, Philadelphia, Baltimore,
Norfolk, New Orleans, Mobile,
Tampa and Galveston. It is
condition, not a theory, which
we are confronting. 1t is not
grain and foodstuffs merely that
are tied up. At Philadelphia, in
addition to grain, there is a large
congestion of export merchan-
disc on the docks and in the
warehouses, and it is stated that
no ship space can be secured for
several months for English,
Netherland, Scandinavian and
Mediterranean ports. At New
Orleans there are nearly 400, 600
bales of cotton awaiting ship
ment, in addition to other things,
and no low-grade freight is be-
ing moved on account of high
ocean rates. Mobile reports it
cannot get ships for its South
American export trade; the
Tampa warehouses are damned
with naval stores, cotton and
lumber, while the Galveston
docks are crowded with cotton
and grain. A few months ago
the Southern planter could not
sell his cotton. Now when there
is a demand for it he cannot get
it to the foreign market because
there are not sufficient ships to
carry it.
Europe is making extraordin-
airy purchases from US Of many
things besides grain and cotton.
Her shipping list includes auto
mobile, cotton-knit goods, wool
en- clothing and blankets, rubber
boots. shoes and shoe leather, |

"TOM' PARRAN TELLS OF
SOUTHERN MARYLAND

Speaking in the humorous vein
which persons of his section of
the country have all learned to
recognize and enjoy through
having heard him so often on the
political hustings, former Con-
gresham Thomas Parran, of the
Fifth Maryland District, on
Tuesday spoke at some length
before the Rotary Club, Balti-
more, upon the beauties and Won
ders of Anne Arundel and other
Southern Maryland counties.
Mr.. Parran appeared before
the first of a series of midday
luncheons recently planned by
the Rotary Club, with a view to
bringing to the fore the advant-
ages and opportunities of South
ern Maryland.
''You cannot read Maryland's
history without learning of the
history of Southern Maryland, F"
Mr.. Parran began after several
laughter-compelling jokes. ''To
approve of Southern Maryland
you must know it, must go there
and see it, must eat there,
and nowhere can you eat more
or better; must sleep there, and
nowhere can you sleep longer. "
: With large map as his aid,
M. Parran then began expound-
ing in earnest on the exhaustless
resources and golden opportuni-
ties of the counties of Anne
Arundel, Calvert, Prince Coos.
St. Mary's and Charles, and then
gave the one reason why this
region is so little known. That
reason was lack of transporta-
ton facilities.
1--WE are all in reach of salt
water" he explained, but we
are now making progress toward
more than water transportation.
Every farmhouse has a telephone
and is in touch with the outside
world. The State highway runs
through it's entire length and
will soon be finished. This high
way alone has done more than
all else to develop our country
and to make it known. 1t be-
gins at this hotel and runs
straight to Drum Point, in
whose harbor the navies of the
world can gather.
There was a time when it
took me all day and night to get
from my home in Calvert county
to Baltimore or Washington.
Now | can jump in an autom-
bile and be in Washington or
Annapolis in q hours. And if
you Baltimore people don't watch
out Washington will steal South
ern Maryland, as New York and
Philadelphia stole the Eastern
Shore.
I'VE want a railroad and we
will have a railroad. But no
road ought to stop at Millersville.
1t is to Baltimore city's interest
to have that railroad come into
this city. You hear that our
land is poor, but have travelled
through all Kentucky-and other
States and found no corn or to-
bacco better than some growing
at my own home.
''We have been forced to grow
staple crops and get low prices
for them because we have no
sure way of getting perishable
truck to your city. Your own
trucking land around Baltimore
is being used up by suburban
development and you will need
US soon. Give US railroads and
we will be at your service. -
AS to the SANDER of mosqui-
toes and malaria, Mr.. Parran
said that he had lived in South
ern Maryland IS years and never
had seen as many mosquitoes as
in Baltimore and never had a
chill, through several political
shivers have gone over me" he
added whimsically as the crowd !
roarsd.

Concrete Silo is
Cheapest in End
Far More Lasting Than Wood and
Costs No More To Build.
G. E. WOLCOTT.
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.

The kind of a silo that a farmer
should build will, to some extent. DO
controlled by circumstances. In a
few cases it would seem expedient to
construct the cheapest silo that will
keep silage. This applies in the case
of a renter or where the cost OF
materials for permanent silo make
it prohibitive.
Ordinarily the concrete siio can be
constructed as chesply as the wooden
silo 1t will keep silage as well and
it is permanent. Where gravel pit
is near at hand so that gravel can be
had for the hauling the concrete silo
can be constructed at a comparatively
small cost, the cement and material
for forms representing the chief items.

This increase was made largely
through feeding. Three cows were
eliminated as Improbable during the
first year. This, of course, had ma
terial effect in making the average
production higher; but the larger fac
tor was the individual feeding.
BY keeping records the low pro
ducers can be discarded; and the re-
mainder of the herd can be fed ac-
cording to their production. These
two factors will increase the average
production of any herd; and make the
yield at lower feed cost "

SECOND SPRAY FOR COOLING
MOTH.
T. B. SYMONS.
Maryland Agricultural College.

The second brood of the codling
moth appears about July LIST. Unless
the first spraying, when the bloom fell
was exceedingly thorough, a spraying
with arsenate of lead should be applied
at this time.
More important though than the
arsenate of lead treatment for the
Cooling Moth is the application OF
Bordeaux mixture to prevent Bitter
Rot and other diseases developing
when the fruit is maturing.
The combination spray recommended
for this time is:
Bordeaux Mixture and Arsenats of
Lead:
Copper Sulphate, 4 lbs.
Lime (Burned), lbs.
Water, so gals.
Arsenate of lead, 2 lbs.
The spray solution is cheap, and Il
only requires little extra pains tc
secure good crop of clean fruit.

wHEAT~ANp vETcH SEEDED NOW
WILL PROVIDE NEEDED
RoUGHAGE IN
SPRING.
NICHOLAS SCHMITZ,
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.

After such a dry season as we have
had this year, we may naturally ex-
pect shortage in the supply of hay
and roughage early in the spring.
Hence it is quite important that We
plan our farming operations this fall
so that we will be provided with plenty
of good feed while waiting on the next
hay crop. ....
D.. For this purpose there is probably
nothing better than mixture Of win
ter oats and vetch or wheat and vetch.
The vetch and wheat can be mixed and
seeded with the wheat drill. A good
mixture to SOW is 20 to % lbs. of vetch
and about bushel of wheat or oats
per acre. This will grow up early in
the spring and can be used as a soiling
crop or cut for hay when the grain is
in the soft dough stage. 1t makes "a
good yield of an excellent quality Of
hay.
Vetch yields we'll by itself, but owing
to its: whey habit of growth, it is best
to SOW it with wheat or winter oats.
