Threshermen To Organize

A meeting will be held on Saturday,
Apri! "a, at 10 a. m, in the Elkton
Court House, in the interest of thresh-
ing machine owners and farmers in
general, for the purpose of forming a
local organization to work with the
State organization in the securing of
equal right for the farmer and thresh-
erman in the use of improved State
roads by traction engine owners.
The meeting will be in charge of
Rev. Ira NJ. Hart, the president of the
State Threshermen's Organization of
Pennsylvania.
The meeting is called, according to
the statement of its promoters, "on
account of the very unfavorable posi-
ton as taken by the State Highway
Department with reference to the use
of traction engines on the public high
ways for any purpose" The statement
continues. "The threshermen have
found themselves in rather unfortu-
nate predicament and in order to get
recognition and secure equal rights on
the highways it has been decided to
form threshermen's organization"

Court Interprets Hartford Fish Law

Judge Harlan rendered decision in
Bel Air on April 10. which clears up
the legal tangle which has embarrass-
ed the bay fishermen. The court, in
releasing Lotan H. Haisin and w. H.
Watkins on writ of habeas corpus,
held that the State Fish Law of 1908
supercedes the local Hartford County
Fishing Law, passed during the last
century; and that fishermen from
other counties than Hartford may place
fyke or pound nets in the waters of
the Chesapeake Bay og the shores of
Hartford county.
The accused men had been arrested
at the instance of Stephen Cohee,
keeper of the Poole's Island Light
house. The offence charged was plac-
ing fish nets in violation of the Har-
ford County Local Law prohibiting
non-residents of Hartford County to
fish in the county waters. 1t appear
ing that the fish nets in question were
placed between Lego Point and Rob
ins Point ok the Hartford county shore,
but in the waters of the Chesapeake
Bay, the Court discharged both Raisin
and Watkins. Senator James J. Ar
cher, of Bel Air, and L. Wethered
Barroll, Esq, of Chestertown, repre-
sented the accused.

No Farmers Day AT Commencement

Professor Harry Hayward, director
of the Delaware College Experiment
Station, announced Monday that it had
been decided to not have Farmers Day
on the Monday of commencement week
this year as has been the custom for
several years past He stated that as
commencement week comes unusually
early this year and as the indications
are that the season will be late, there
would be little to be seen on the farm.
Some time in August different days
will be set aside for each of the three
counties when farmers and their
friend will be invited to the State
farm. There will be much more of
interest on the farm to farmers at
that time than there would be in June.
The fruit will then be ripe and a new
feature of interest to visitors is the
egg laying contest While no day of
commencement week will be observed
as Farmers Day, Professor Hayward
states that visitors will be welcome at
the farm at any time that week.

Wheat Prospects

Notwithstanding the fact that re-
cord-breaking acreage in winter wheat
was planted last fail, the crop report
issued by the Agricultural Depart
ment shows that on April l the pros
pect indicated a yield smaller than
last year The average condition of
the winter wheat, according to this
bulletin, was only 1873 per cent. of
normal on April /, against 95.6 on
April /, 1914; GIG in 1913 and 87.6
average for the past ten years.
The condition of the Maryland
wheat was far below the general ave-
rage, it being reported at 81 per cent,
while Virginia's crop was 85 per cent; ;
Delaware's 83 per cent; West Vir-
ginia's, SO per cent, and Pennsyl-
vania's, IS per cent The past winter
has been hard one on winter wheat
in the Atlantic States, the alternate
thawirg and freezing of the grounds,
exposing the roots, having materially
injured crop prospects in Maryland,
Virginia and Pennsylvania. A year
ago Maryland's crop condition was
reported at SO, while Virginia's was
80 per cent.

BOYS CORN CLUBS

Mr.. oJseph M. McVey, County Sup
erintendent of Schools, and Mr.. G. F.
Marsh, County Agricultural Agent,
have planned to organize the boys of
Cecil county into Corn Growing
Club. Meetings for organization will
be held today Saturday, at the
school building at Rising Sun, at 8
o'clock a. m., and in the Court House,
Elkton. the same day at 2:30 p. m. Mr..
l. w. Hill, of U. S. Department of
Agriculture, in charge of Boys Corn
Club work, and other speakers will
address the meeting. Numerous valu-
able prizes will be offered for this
work by public spirited citizens.
The chief prize In each State has
generally been a trip to Washington.
Popular prizes in other States have
been: Trip to Exposition, State and
County Expositions, State and County
Fairs, Scholarships in Agricultural
Colleges and Schools. Many prizes,
buggies, bicycles, agricultural imple-
ments, gold watches, pure bred live
stock, books on agriculture and horti-
culture, and other articles of value
and worth.
While it is rot strictly necessary
Tor the boy to do all the work himself,
he should do the greater part and full
wages should be charged for all help
obtained
1t is hoped that this club will in
spire the boy with the love of the land
by showing him how he can get wealth
out Of it by tilling it in better way
and keeping account of his undertake
ing. From the pleasant and profitable
experiei ce of owning and managing
the small plots they will develop into
independent and intelligent farmers.
Success in this work is good train
ing for usefulness in agriculture. All
boys between the ages of 10 and 18,
and all parents who are interested in
having the boys take part in this work
are earnestly requested to be present
at one of these meetings.
