How To Improve
the Dairy Herd
Form Breeders Association For
Securing Pure Bred Sires.
G.. E. WOLCOTT.
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.

The most economical way to estab-
lish herd of high grade dairy cattle
Is to breed the common COWS, such as
are found in every locality, to a pure
bred bull This bull should not be
merely a pure bred of the breed de-
sired; but he should be the offspring
of animals that are known to be large
producers of milk and butterfat. HIS
dam should be a large producer; like
wise the dam Of his sire. These two
animals exert great influence on the
young bull. If his sire be an aged bull,
it is well to note the production of his
daughters If this dam and his grand
dam on his sire's side are animals OF
merit, and his sire has bred daughters
that are making large productions,

SENATOR SMITH CONSULTED

A significant conference of
Democratic leaders was held in
Washington Tuesday, when sew
eral organization politicians went
to the Capitol to consult with
Senator John Walter Smith upon
the Gubernatorial situation.
While at present friendly to
the candidacy of Representative
J. Charles Linthicum, the visi-
tors did not hope to receive and
did not receive any assurances as
to Senator Smiths attitude TO
waru Comptroller Harrington.
:, The visitors were former State
Senator Arthur P. German, of
Howard county; Frank Kelly, of
Baltimore, and Richard A. John
son, of Howard County. They
arrived at the Capitol shortly be-
fore 4 o'clock and were closeted
with Senator Smith for more
than an hou,'.
Senator Saith was not asked
to pledge himself to Mr.. Linthi-
cum, and, of course, did not vol
unteer any pledges. Neither did
the Senator ask his visitors to
support Mr. Harrington or to
take any Other definite position
in the campaign.
Senator Smiths attitude at
this stage is wholly one of reser-
walton. He thinks it is too early
to determine which of the two
avowed candidates now seeking
organization support is more pop
ular with the people. He thinks
they should be permitted to dem
onstrate their strength in some
way more pronounced than they
have shown, anl to that end is
inclined to hold off for the time
being.
Also, it is known that the Sen
ator has been urged by some of
his closest friends to withhold a
little longer his support of can
didate for Governor on the
ground that some aspirant more
available than either of those
now in the running may develop.
In such an event, in has been
pointed out to him, the Senator
would be in a position to act for
the better interest of the party.
This position was, to some ex-
tent, assumed by Senator Smith
at the conference, it is said.
His feeling was first, that the
two candidates now in the field
should be given a TROUT, and Sec
ond, that a third candidate might,
after all, appear whom the or
ganization could with better judg-
ment follow.
Moreover, Mr.. German is
anxious to avoid the possibility
OF two organization candidates in
the primary, and was Influenced
more IN going to Washington By
that possibility than by any
other consideration. Mr.. Cor
man, it is said, believes that
Senator Lee will be a candidate
for the Governorship nomina-
ton and he hopes for some I'M
derstanding as early in the fight
as possible as to the candidate
which the organization will pit
! against Lee.
Mr.. Johnson was the unsucess-
full candidate for Congress in
the Fifth district in November.
He had the support of the organ
ization throughout the district in
the primary contest against Rep
resentative Frank O. Smith. Mr..
johnson has taken no public
stand in the Governership fight.
His rival in the primary, Mr..
Smith,, however, is said to be
learning to Linthicum. -Balti-

A great deal of talk of Chair
man O. E. Weller of the State
Roads Commission for the Re-
publican nomination for Cover
nor is going the rounds. 1t Is
understood that a Well-knoWn
Republican, who is known to
have no political ambitions, sug-
gested Mr.. Weller's name to a
number of infuntial party people
and, apparently, the suggestion
f ,und favor. Whether Mr..
Weller would be willing to be a
candidate is not known. It has
been said that he would not be-
cause of his health, but those
favoring him say they think he
would run if the party made it
plain he was wanted at the head
of the ticket.
Primarily, the discussion of
Mr.. Weller for the nomination is
due to the belief among many
leading Republicans that he has
made a remarkably excellent re-
cord in office, a belief, by the
way, which is shared by a good
many Democrats. The man who
first suggested him did so. it
seems, because he thought that
of all the men available for the
nomination Mr.. Weller could
offer the Republicans the best
record in office as a basis for
their appeal to all the voters.

New Jersey in 1891 was the pioneer
state in providing state aid for public
highways. Massachusetts, and Con-
necticut adopted the policy shortly aft
er, but only during the last ten years
has the state-aid policy been in eff
feet on a considerable scale. About
5000 miles Of state highways were
completed in 1918 and about 5000
miles in 1914, SO that the last two
years have been responsible for more
than one-third of the entire state
highway mileage. The state highways
in America now exceed by 5000 miles
the national road system Of France.
To have state highway departments
placed under nOn-partisan, efficient
control; skilled supervision required
