Experts Praise MaryIand's Improved
Roads.

Mr. P. ST. Julian Wilson, secretary
to Secretary of Agriculture Houston,
and Austin B. Fletcher, Chief Engi-
neer of Roads, California, after tour
ing Maryland roads with Chairman
Zouck and Chief Engineer Shirley,
declared that the roads of Maryland
were the best maintained roads in
the United States, with the possible
exception of those in California, and
that Maryland on the east and Cali
fornia on the west could hang up
their flags proclaiming the possess
sion of the best highways in the
country California has the advant-
age in that it has an abundant and
cheap supply of natural asphalt with
which to resurface its. roads. This
material can be obtained there al
most for the cost of taking it away,
while it is expensive in Maryland.
Another thing, California has no
frosts, while in Maryland there is
frequently freezing and thawing
several times in a single week, which.
is exceedingly hard on roads, But in
spite of these things, he admitted
that the California roads had abso-
lutely nothing on those of Maryland,
and it was admitted that Maryland
has more mileage of good roads in
proportion to it's area, population and
wealth than any other state in the
country.
Chief Chemist Gage and Edward
Reed, engineer of maintenance of the
New Jersey Highways Commission,
said that they regarded the Maryland
system of maintaining it's roads the
best in. the country and were high
in their praise of the manner in
which this State protects it's invest
ment in highways.

The SQUIRREL Laws.
To the Editor:

To the Editor:
Inquiries still continue to arrive
at my Office relative to the new
game and fish laws as enacted by
the General Assembly of 1916. In
reply to such inquiries, take this
means of informing the public of
the construction of the new laws as
handed me by Attorney Goneral
Albert c. Ritchie:
Open season for squirrel, in The
following counties of MARYLAND,
namely, Baltimore, Caroline, Cecil,
Garrett, Hartford, Howard, Kent,
Montgomery, Queen Anne's Somei
set Washington, Wicomico and Wor-
cester, the squirrel season opens
August 25th and runs open until
October 1st, then remaining closed
until November 10th, then open
again until December Gath.
The following counties were ex-
empt from this law]on squirrels, and
can shoot them only from November
10th to December oath, namely:
Anne Arundel, Calvert, Dorchester,
Prince Georges, St. Mary's and Tai
bot Mr.. RICHES opinion states
that these counties Nonly asked for
exemption from the new dates con-
tained herein above, ana accordingly,
their season remains as it was here
tofore.
Squirrel season in Frederick and
Allegany counties-Frederick county
has special law allowing squirrels
to be shot from August 25th to Dec
ember oath. Allegany county has
a special law allowing squirrels to
be shot from September 18th to
December oath. These two bills
were signed by the Governor at a
later date than the Statewide bill
on squirrels, therefore, the law in
these two counties supersedes the
State law.

Tri-oounty Association Raises Price
OF Mix.

Messrs. e. w. Dawson, G. Dunbar,
w. Buckworth, Secretary-elect John
Frazer and G.. F. Marsh, County
Agent, formed the Cecil County dele
CATION who attended the organization
meeting of the Tri-State Milk Produ-
GERS Association at Wilmington last
Saturday fternoon.
About 100 enthusiastic dairymen
attended and agreed to stand for
five cent milk. The secretary was
instructed to notify all milk dealers
that the price for October would be
5 cents per quart.
In the evening Messrs. A. Wilson,
w. A. Wolleyhan, w. Buckworth and
County Agent Marsh went to Ken
nedyville and in cooperation with
County Agent Burroughs formed an
enthusiastic association there, which
will put up the price and thus prev
ent the Wilmington Milk dealers
from buying cheaper milk in the
country.
The First District Community Club
called a meeting for Friday evening,
at 8 o'clock, October 18th, for the
same purpose.
ALI Investigations made by the
Experiment Stations and also federal
authorities show that wilk cannot be
produced under present conditions
for less than five cents, and with
present prices the production of milk
is losing business for the farmer.
Unless something is done, as many
farmers are going out of the busi-
ness, there will be milk famine in
this country.

Raw Phosphate Rock.

AS many farmers are asking the
advice of County Agent Marsh,
whether owing to the high cost of
fertilizers, this fall it would be ad-
visable to use raw ground phosphate
rock, he has asked us to make the
following statement to our readers.
AS rule the result of raw rock,
or floats as it is usually called, have
not given good results in the East
and even in the west where the best
results were claimed the grains have
not been holding up.
Last winter one of the professors
from the Ohio University stated that
contrary to their expectations raw
rock had not given as good results
the second ten years as it had the
first ten years.
The Indiana Experiment Station
has just issued bulletin in which
it is stated that in general summary
of 13 years in which 80 tests were
made the net profit was SIX times as
great from acid phosphate as raw
phosphate rock.
The return for each dollar invested
has been Z times as great from acid
phosphate as from raw phosphate
The value of crop increase per pound
of phosphorus applied has been 28
1-3 cents for acid phosphate and
.31h cents for raw phosphate rock.
From the above it would seem
that until we have some more def
mite information that it would be
wise for the farmer to stick to the
available form of phosphoric acid.
