crops of hay are short. The seeded
required is in every respect the same
as that for corn. 1t should be firm
and wel[worked on the surface.
AT the experiment station seedlings
have been made every two weeks from
April 18th to August 1st. The results
and experience thus obtained indicate
that Sudan grass may be safely seed
ed any time between May 18th and
July 10Th. the best time lying between
June 1st and July 1st A good guide
is to wait until after corn planting
time. If seeded before this, there
will be slow growth for the first few
weeks, thus greatly helping weeds to
get the start. When sown after July
LIST, not more than one cutting can be
expected.
For hay production, Sudan grass
should be seeded broadcast. The best
implement for seeding it is the grain
drill. Good, clean seed feeds evenly
through the wheat compartments OF
the drill at about the same rate wheat
does; that is if the drill is set to SOW
two pecks of wheat it will also SOW
approximately two pecks of Sudan
grass. If the seed is not clean it is
difficult to determine at what rate the
drill should be set TO seed the desired
amount; m this case 1t may even be
necessary to use the oat compart-
ments. NE seeding may also be done
by hand or with one Of the numer-
GUS broadcasting seeders on the mar
ket, and the seed then worked in.

soil and the danger of baking after a

planting between one-half and one

A Great HOMECOMING.

The Maryland State Normal School
preparatory to leaving its present
quarters Carrollton and LAFAYETTE
Avenues have a homecoming
night on the eleventh Of June in the old
building.
1t is hoped that all of its graduates
who can possibly come to the city will
do SO, and make this last grand rally in
the old hall memorial occasion.
There will be music-lnstrumental
and vocal, and community singing for
the quiet folks; dancing for those who
wish to enjoy the may whirl, and re-
freshments for all.
Graduates who expect to attend the
homecoming will apply to the school
for cards of admission.

BUILDING UP THE COMMUNITY
WILL BE DISCUSSED AT coUN.
TRY LIFE CONFERENCE.

Ways and means of arousing their
people to deeper sense of obligation
to build up community life and make
their neighborhoods still more desir
able places in which to live, will be the
keynote OF much of the discussion at
the Country Life Conference for Rural
Ministers, to be held at College Park,
Aug. 3, 4 and 5. One of the most
striking papers delivered at last years
Conference was on this very subject
of how the country might keep its own
people, particularly the prosperous re-
to be the most influential factors in
building UP permanent community
life. Dr. Carver said:
80 long as the original farmer is
on the ground, the man who himself
built the farm, used the energy of his
own muscles with which to improve it,
watered it with the sweat of his own
brow, he will not forget the old neigh
borhood But when
the third generation comes along, hav.
ing none of these memories, and none
of those interests, then the real tend.
ency begins to show itself in its full
measure. The farm becomes merely
the place from which the money comes
to be spent in town. There is no in
terest in the farm at all, except as a
source OF income. The life is lived
elsewhere, and the money is spent
elsewhere and the schools and the
churches in the town are built up with
the money that comes from the farm"

1915 Fair Notes.

Remember that when you make an
exhibit at the Fair September 20, 80 and
October first, you are helping to boost
Garrett county,
You are encouraging your neighbor
to better and more thorough farm work
Example is the best teacher.
TIE grain exhibit at the coming fair
should be much larger than that of 1915.
We would call the attention of the
women of the homes of the county to
the value of canning vegetables for
home use. 1t is one way to reduce the
cost of living. Use pint and quart
Mason jars, according to the size of the
family, and while engaged in this work
set aside some jars to be exhibited at
the fair.
A prize will be awarded for the
largest and best exhibit of canned
vegetables in glass jars.
For the largest and best exhibit of
berries and fruit. The exhibits must
be put up IN 1915.
The prize in each exhibit will be cash.
one dollar and blue ribbon; the second
prize red ribbon and so cents cash. This
will be in addition to the prize offered
by the Fair Association.
This early notice is given to those who
will exhibit, in order that they may get
ready at once. Rhubarb will be classed
with vegetables. The exhibit to consist
OF one quart jar of each kind of
vegetable and fruit.
A special premium, outside of
premium offered by the Fair Associa-
ton, will be given to the boy or girl Is
years or under, who exhibits the largest
and best assortment of vegetables
grown by the exhibitor. Blue ribbon
and two dollars cash; second best
premium red ribbon, and one dollar
cash.
Third best, yellow ribbon and so cents
in silver. Remember all the above is
in addition to the premiums offered by
the Fair Association.
We want to encourage the boys and
girls in personal work on the farm.
Get busy boys and girls. Fathers and
mothers encourage your children to get
busy.
If enough exhibits are presented a
boys and girls department will be
established, where all their exhibits will
be placed. This would be very in
teresting department. Shall we have
it. What say you boys and girls? Have
in it some big pumpkins, big heads of
cabbage, ETC., raised by the boys and
girls of Garrett county, only.
Mr.. Farmer, pillow up piece of
ground for your boys and girls, harrow
it, give them rich soil and they will do
the rest. Of course word of advice
now and then should be given, to en-
courage them in the work.
This is the time to do the planning,
after while it will be to late. In help
ing the children you will feel better.
Make your family blue ribbon prize
winning family,
Carrying out this idea will develop
your boy and girl into a good practical
farm and home manager.
1t will add greatly to the success of
the fair and 1t will boost Garrett county.
Boost the fair. Talk it up. Enthuse
your neighbors on the subject. Make
the fair of 1915 great exposition of
what Garrett county producers are do
ing.
Show the world what Garrett can do
when it puts forth an effort to win.

THE COMEDY OF ERRORS
Democratic Tariff Fallacy Still a
Natter Unsettled.

Washington, D. c., June 8. The
Court of Customs Appeals has just
added another act to the comedy of
errors in which the Democratic admins
tration takes the star part.
The Court has rendered a. opinion
on the construction of the provision in
the Underwood tariff law intended to
give five per cent discount in customs
duties on merchandise imported in
American vessels, and has virtually de-
clared that the effect of the provision
gives wholesale discrimination in
favor of ships of foreign countries.
In a recent article attention was
directed to this classic blunder then
pending before the Customs Court. The
slovenly methods by which it was en-
acted were referred to, showing that
the Democrats had vague idea about
aiding American shipping, adopted a
vague method of extending such aid
and by careless guess work had thrown
the whole matter into the courts. 1t
was shown that during the debate in
Congress Republicans had given re-
peated warnings that, apart from its
policy, the phraseology of the five
per cent section was meaningless and
should be corrected to accomplish its
purpose.
The decision of the Court OF Customs
Appeals completely confirms the state
ments, and rubs it in by saving:
1.-THE wisdom or expediency of the
policy is matter into which we may
not inquire nor have we the right to
suspend the operation of the statute be-
cause we may think its purpose is not
adequately accomplished.
1t will be recalled that the language
OF the five per cent. discount section
provided that nothing herein shall be
so construed as to abrogate or in any
manner impair or affect the provisions
of our treaties with foreign nations"
1t appears from the opinion of the
Customs Court that there are at least
$500 treaty nation vessels in the Ameri-
can foreign trade, and that there are
not over fifty American vessels. AS a
favor to our own ships the Demo-
cratic Congress, according to this de-
cision, gave an EQUAL BOUNTY to
$500 competing foreign vessels.
In its decision the Court referred to
statistics showing that the discount
provision reduces duties five per cent
upon considerably more than one-half
of all our duitable imports. After all
its labored adjustment of tariff rates
the Democrats, in this single paragraph
proposing a five per cent. discount
practically destroyed the effect of all
preceding schedules, and in the same
breath conferred upon foreign ships a
valuable privilege intended only for our
own ships.
In harmony with the decision of the
Court of Customs Appeals there will be
a refund of customs duties estimated at
from twelve million to fifteen million
dollars. Who gets the benefit of this
refund? Eventually by far the larger
part of it will find its way into the
Golfers of foreign manufacturers.
Unless the United States Supreme
Court reyerses the decision of the Court
of Customs Appeals, these millions of
dollars must come out of a treasury
already facing huge deficit resulting
from gross Encouragement by the
present administration.

The early summer season is the most
favorable time of the year to study
agriculture and allied subjects at the
Maryland Agricultural College. The
College Farm with its experimental
gardens, orchards, field crops, and
fertilizer plots is at its best. These
opportunities for first hand study in
addition to the outdoor life and the
freedom from the care of the school
room will make few weeks spent at
your Agricultural College delightful
