FARMERS INCREASE
THEIR WHEAT YIELD
County Agents Demonstrate
Value Of Improved Varieties
in Many Sections
Selected Seed Grown at
State Experiment Station
Average Increase OF Five Bushels Per
Acre Secured-Wheat Growers
Should Get In Touch With
Their County Agents.

College Park, Aug. 24.-Farmers in
many sections of Maryland have in
creased their wheat yield during the
last year by the use of improved vari-
cites. These varieties have been on
test at the Maryland State Expert
ment Station for a number Of years
and during the last two seasons, have
been grown extensively in most wheat
sections of the State under the drec-
ton of the County Demonstration
Agents.
In regard to selecting wheat of SUI
perior varieties. Prof. Nicholas
Schmitz, of the Maryland State Ex-
pertinent Station. says, "Of the many
varieties originally under test, some
have been found to be very inferior
and in consequence, have been dis
carded Others were found that yield
cd we'll in favorable season, but did
not stand up when conditions were at
all unfavorable. Still other varieties
produce we'll almost every year, re-
CARELESS of conditions and even in a
very unfavorable season maintain
much higher yield than the poor vari-
eties. 1t Is in these last varieties that
we are the most interested, since the
record of their yields has been uni
formly high, and they have proven
their yielding qualities, not only at the
Experiment Station, but in many sec.
lions of the State, where they have
been grown on private farms side by
side with the native varieties.

Make Hand Grenades Now.

The number of accidents in British
factories during the year 1915 was
2O6 above the average for the last ten
years, according to the annual report
of the inspectors of explosives.
The number of deaths in manufac-
ture was q and the number of per-
sons injured in factories during the
year was ITO, So of these cases being
of trifling nature. In view Of the
vast increase in the number of per-
sons employed in the manufacture of
explosives, this result may be regard
ed as fairly satisfactory.
Very little work has been done in
ordinary fireworks, nearly all the fac
tories having been engaged in filling
hand grenades or in making signals
for war purposes. This work they
were specially fitted to carry out, and
they have thus been enabled to keep
going at time when the public pro-
hibltion of firework displays would
have compelled them to close down.

the San Jose scale that is not usually
thought of and that is that where the
lnfestation of scale is bad, that they
are so incrusted on the branches that
they are four and five thick, that Is,
they seem to be on top of each other,
and where this is the case one applica-
ton of any spray material, no matter
how good, only reaches those on the
outside or that are exposed, while
those on the under are not touched,
and left therefore to reinfest the tree;
hence, two sprayings in many instances
are necessary, says a writer in an eX-

that the scale can only be thoroughly
controlled where sprayings are made
in the fall and again in the spring.
