Seed Potato Growers
Form Important Organization
Western Maryland Farmers Unite
With other Business Men To
Promote A New Industry.

On Friday, April 14th, there was or
gained at Frostburg. Maryland, The
Western Maryland Seed Potato Grow
srs' Association. The object Of the
organization is to promote the grow
ing and marketing of seed potatoes
grown under such conditions Of alti-
tude and climate as make the seed as
well suited to the requirements Of
Maryland and Virginia potato growers
as Is seed grown in Maine, Michigan
or other higher attitudes.
The Anal organization Of this asso-
citation. which will be incorporated un-
der the laws of Maryland. represents
the elimination OF the efforts OF a
number OF banks and business men Of
Allegheny county, aided by Mr.. John
McGill, Jr.. county agent for ALE
gheny county, and Professors Temple
and Bomberger, of the State College
Of Agriculture.
The bankers and business men f.
nanced the project by procuring a car
load Of the best Maine seed potatoes
for distribution among the farmers Of
Allegheny and Garrett counties. Mr.
McGill and Professor Temple super
intended the growing Of last years
crop. which is to serve as seed for
this years planting. Professor Bonn.
berger prepared the plans for the in
corporation and management of the
organization Of the growers. In the
final steps of the organization valuable
service was rendered by Mr.. C. E. Bas.
sett and o. B. Jessness, of the U. $.
Department of Agriculture.
On Friday the 14th instant, about
thirty seed potato growers of Western
Maryland met and adopted a constitu-
ton and bylaws. elected officers and
directors and outlined the work for the
current. season.
This organization represents the de
yelopment OF a new business for Mary
land. Heretofore Maryland potato
growers have depended upon northern
grown potatoes for seed. 1t has been
demonstrated by the Experiment Sta
tion that seed grown at the high alti-
tudes prevailing in the mountain
region OF Western Maryland are fully
equal 10 northern grown seed. 1t re-
mained for the farmers of that region
to undertake the growing OF seed un-
der proper regulations for guarantee
ing a standard product free from dis
ease in order to establish the business
upon a sound commercial basis. The
organization effected will do this: and,
as the business expands, the potato
growers OF Maryland will not be com
PEELED to send outside the State for
standard seed. In time the seed po-
tato industry Of Western Maryland
should assume large proportions and
hundreds Of thousands should be saved
to the potato growers Of the State.
Already the farmers of Garrett county
are preparing to follow the example Of
their Allegheny county neighbors. The
organization formed contemplates the
afiiliation of all the seed potato grow.

PROTECT YOURSELF IN BUYING
CRIMSON CLOVER SEED.
C. P. SMITH,
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.

Last year several farmers made the
mistake of buying seed Of crimson
clover that was not properly tagged
as to germination-lack the germin-
alton test entirely. or without the date
when the test was made Were you
one of them? Every lot of bushel or
more 90 pounds after October 1st)
should be labeled to show as much
information as: Termination 80 per
cent, tested June, 1916"
One lot of seed sampled last sum
mer by the seed inspector was tagged
SO per cent germination-no date
.su,an. The sample was secured Au.
81 21 and our test of month later,
about as soon as the lot could have
been planted in the field and there
Judged showed a termination value OF
32h per cent; a December test later,
24M per cent.
The prospect for crimson (scarlet)
clover seed for 1916 is very poor: linn.
tied supplies and correspondingly high
prices, some low purities and especi.
ally low termination. II you MUST
have crimson clover seed regardless
of cost and quality. do not risk buying
seed that is offered you without the
termination as shown by a RECENT
test--L April, May. or June. 1916.
II the termination is given as so per
cent, sow twice as thick as you usu-
ally do; II 25 per cent, SOW fully four
times as thick as with good seed.
If you desire a more recent or con
firmative test, send fair sample di-
rect to the State Seed Laboratory, Col
lege Park. While the complete labora-
tory test takes four days. the second
day or first count is commonly sufi-
cient to judge the general germinative
value OF the stock. When requested,
the report will be based upon this first
count KNOW WHAT YOU ARE
PLANTING.

Gardens.-Keep up a succession of
garden crops. Continue to plant beans.
tomatoes and sweet corn. Tomatoes
should be staked and pruned. The
shoots appearing in the axis of the
leaves should be removed as rapidly
as they appear. All garden crops
should be cultivated often and shallow.
Horse cultivation is best If this is
not practicable, wheel hoes should be
secured A small outlay in good gar
den tools saves time ard labor.

'l.en lice and anyone knows that they
are bad enough. Lice do their damage
mainly by anroying the fowls running
about on their bodies. Mites not only
do this, but they get their nourishment
by biting hole in the chickens skin
and sucking the blood. Lice live main
ly by eating parts Of the feathers and
scales from the skin. Mites do not
stay on the birds body during the day,
but stay in little elumps under the
roosts and in the cracks about the
house. AT night they are rested up
and pour over the hens body.
sometimes in large enough numbers to
kill the hens outright They injure
the hens by disturbing their rest and
taking nourishment from their bodies.
It is much easier to keep mites out Of
house than 1t is to get rid of them
after they get in. A painting of the
roosts with kerosene oil once a month
will keep them down. 1t is a much
more difficult matter to get rid of
them once they get start.
The kerosene treatment will have
to be applied at least once week for
time in order to subdue them. Some
recommend the use of coal tar or gas
tar for destroying mites. One applica.
ton is said to be sufficient for period
of six months. II thorough job is
made Of putting II on. The coal tar
should be thinned with kerosene.
