EccfdentFy Right

Prominent on the list of cure-alls. sug-
gested by Hon. Jno. NJ. Parker to remedy
the evils with which he claims louisiana is
now afflicted is the plan to abolish the pri-
mary election law.
The idea to abolish the primary election
system is so rational a departure, when ad-
vanced by Mr.. Parker as to attract more
than usual attention.
1t is almost superfluOus to note that,
while the proposed measure contains merit,
no such fact influenced Mr. Parker. His
real reason for advocating the abolition Of
the primary is to produce chaos in politi-
cal organization. A recalcitrant, like Mr.
Parker, has an Unborn aversion to anything
like system or order So we must attribute
his enunciation against primaries toa desire
to disrupt party discipline.
But the voters are fast coming to the
belief that there is needed some reform in
the primary system that will make it pos
sible for the followers of political parties to
adopt a definite, concrete platform upon
which party candidates can be made to
stand or fall.
Under our present system member Of
the legislature or of Congress can pirate
about his democracy and at the same time
vote for every republican measure put
forward. Had the members of Congress
been tied down by definite party instructions,
the spectacle of the majority of our senator's
and representatives voting with republicans
in the last Congress would have been i'm
possible.
Nor would politics narrow down to a
personal scramble for office. The men who
offered the best solution of public issues
would reap the benefits; the candidate would
be required to subscribe to the platform and
would be required to advocate it all over the
state, rather than adjust his arguments to
the section that he happened to be in.
We think that the time is near when
the voter will desire the law so amended
that party platform can be adopted and
party candidates pledged to its provisions.
This can be accomplished without taking
from the voter his right to individual ex-
preston in public matters. The same safe
guards can be thrown around the ballot as
exist under the present law.
If the majority opinion can be con-
verged, through the selection of party
leaders, into definite platform, then we can
know what ofiee-hoIders stand for before
election and we can see to it that they live
up to the platform after election.
Under the present law every politician
is his own kind of democrat before election
and after election he is anything that interest
or caprice may dictate
We are not sure Of Mr.. Parker's reasons
for abolishing the primary law, but we
think there is some merit in his scheme.

Another Louisiana parish has been de-

Another Louisiana parish has been de-
clared tick-free by the federal government
and released from federal quarantine. This
puts four Louisiana parishes Madison, Ten
sas, Claiborne and, now, East CarroI-in
line to produce good cattle and get the top
market price for them. East Baton Rouge
is now on the way to the same goal, her
progress being delayed by an appeal to the
courts by few farmers who seek to damage
their own stock as well as that Of their
neighbors. There is no doubt that East
Baton Rouge will be added to tick-free
territory by the end Of another year. Many
parishes, like Calcasieu, have provided free
dipping vats and the majority Of the cattle
have been voluntarily freed Of tick; but no
permanent gain to the livestock industry
can result as long as a few stock owners
with old-foggy notions are permitted to use
use their scrawny, scrub cattle for tick

VIEW OF MOUNT RAINER
Panoramic Picture Issued by Govern
ment Printing Office.

a panoramic view of Mount Rainier
National Park, showing the charac-
teristic features of the landscape, has
just been issued by direction Of Sec
rotary Lane This panorama shows
in a striking manner the great cen
trail ice mass and the ridges that sur
round it. Ten colors were used in
the printing, the ice being in light
blue, the meadows and valleys in light
green, the streams and lakes in blue,
the cliffs and ridges in combinations
of colors, and the roads in light
brown. The lettering is printed in
light brown, which is easily read on
close inspection, but which merges
into the basic colors when the sheet is
held at some distance. This view,
which may be purchased from the
Superintendent of Documents, Govern
ment Printing Office, Washington, d.
c., for % cents, measures 10 by 20
inches, and is on the scale of l mile
to the inch. 1t is based on accurate
surveys and gives an excellent idea
of the confguration of the surface as
it would appear to person moving

The William H. DERRICK farm, of
407 acres, located between Mt. Airy
and New London, has been sold to
Pratby ]. Kimmel, of near Mt Airy
through real estate and insurance
agent, Grayson H. Staley. While the
exact consideration is not known it
is believed that about $4,000 was paid
for the property. The farm lies along
the old Annapolis road and is consid-
cred one of the largest and best farms
in Frederick county. The land is de-
voted entirely to agricultural purposes
and is in a high state of cultivation
The farm at one time belonged to the
late Louis F. DERRICK, father of Will

Why Glass Cracks.

You have learned by experience
that cold water will crack hot glass,
or hot water cold glass. But did
you know that a thick glass will
crack much more readily under such
treatment than thin glass? When
hot water strikes cold glass, for in
stance, the heat of the water is quick
ly communicated to the glass next it,
causing the glass to expand. If the
glass is thin the heat is quickly com
municated to both sides of the glass
SO that they expand together without
damage. But if the glass is thick the
heat is slow in getting through and
the side next the hot water expands
so much more rapidly than the other
side that the glass is cracked.-The

ming, It is not the only benefit to be
derived. By reducing the tree crop
this year, there is more likelihood of a
good crop next year Much of the So
called habit of alternate bearing in
apple trees Is due to their overbearing
one year and recuperating the next.
Many broken limbs could be averted
by proper thinning, and much labor
saved in propping.
For the best results the thinning
should commence Immediately after
the June drop. 1t is natural to expect
that the sooner the remaining fruit
has the entire support of the tree, the
better the results will be. Broken
limbs may be prevented if the thin
ming is done in August, but the other
benefits will not be so pronounced
In other words, less of the trees
energies will be thrown away and more
turned to the remaining fruit if the
thinning is done early IN the season.
AS to what extent the fruit should
actually be thinned is very largely q
local problem It depends upon such
conditions as soil, age of trees, vari-
cites, cultivation and pruning.
Generally thinning the fruit to a
minimum distance of to g. inches,
gives satisfactory results. Trimmed
fruit is larger and usually better col.
ored and favored than unthinned
fruit, and the yield is just is large
in bulk and sells at a higher price.
The fruit must all be picked some
time, and the culls are more quickly
and more easily removed at thinning
time than at harvesting time. The
average cost of thinning is about 10c.
per tree"

SOUTHERN CORN LEAF.BEETLE
Pest Often Escapes Observation But
Does Much Damage.

Within the past fortnight serious
| invasions of the corn leaf-beetle have
occurred, says a bulletin Of the L. S.
| Department Of Agriculture. In many
Of the fields attacked in the vicinity
OF Charleston, Mo-, it has been nee
essary to replant Other fields have
suffered less on account OF being on
| higher land Another Of the out
breaks has been reported from Utopia,
Texas, where serious depredations
have been worked 70 corn by this pest.
At this time the beetles can be killed,
according to the experts of the Bu-
reau Of Entomology, by use Of a pois-
oned bait composed of % pounds Of
wheat bran, one pound of Paris green,
one gallon of lOw-grade molasses, the
juice Of three oranges, and sufficient
water added TO bring the mixture to a
stiff dough A heaping teaspoonful of
this mixture scattered about each hill
OF corn where the beetles are at work,
proves very attractive to these in
sects, especially applied in late af-
tenoon. If the corn is drilled, the
mixture should be scattered along the
drill rows.
This pest has become of considerable
importance in the past few years and
is found in the southern half Of the
United States, but up to the present
it has not been discovered in Ten
nessee, North Carolina, South Caro-
lima or Georgia. 1t extends as far
north as southern Iowa, central IL
linois and central Ohio s.
Besides the method of elimi REQ
the beetle as described abo flg'
cleaning up OF all rubbish in thffwas
fields early in the fall, especiaNbes /
the low black soils, and delayiL hnSne
planting of corn in the spring are two
methods of lessening the damage from
the southern corn leaf-beetle
The beetle itself is a small dark
bronzed insect about 3-16 of an inch
long and about 1-3 as wide, usually
more or less covered with soil. When
disturbed they drop from the plant
on which they are feeding, and hide
so successfully that the farmer is Of
ten unable to discover why his corn
is so seriously damaged.
The adult beetles lay their eggs
early and always in the vicinity of the
corn plant, after which they disappear
from the fields. The larvae hatch in
from to 10 days and feed on the
corn plants or on cocklebur. Some
where between the first of July and
the middle of August the larvae enter
the pupa stage, which appears TO last
approximately Is days, when the bee
tie of the first generation energies.
Between then and Information early
in the fall, the beetles feed among
other things on the kernels of unripe
ears of corn, and on the buds of cock
leburs. In cornfelds they hibernate
under piles Of corn husks, fodder and
shocks, etc, to emerge again in the
spring to lay their eggs. But the bee
ties frequently appear in destructive
numbers on young growing corn plant
ed on sod lands where the ground had
not been cultivated the previous year.
