CONFERENCE TO
HEAR BILLY SUNDAY
Maryland Annual Conference OF The
Nj. f. Church May Dispense With
Evening Services to Let Members
Hear Evangelist.

Will the eighty-eighth session of
the Maryland Annual Conference OF
the Methodist Protestant Church,
which convened this morning at 9
O'Clock, in the West Baltimore Sta
ton Church, Lafayette avenue and
Gilmor street, Baltimore. hold even
ing sessions and special services as
in former years, or will 1t leave the
evening open for its members to
get out to the tabernacle? No one
seems to know.
The Rev. DR.. John S. Bowers,
president of the conference, said yes
terday that it would be up to the
conference itself to decide the Ques-
ton. He said block of 500 seats at
tabernacle had been offered to the
conference for tomorrow night, but
he could not say whether they would
be used. 1t is possible that Mr.. Sun
day may address the conference at a
morning meeting.
The proceedings today will be for
the most part routine business. In
the morning DR.. Bowers read
his annual report and in the after
noon the election of officers be
held. There is no opposition to the
reelection of DR.. Bowers for his
fifth term as president.
Tonight the Rev. J. M. Holmes, of
Harrington, Del, will deliver the
conference sermon and the sacra-
ment of the Lords Supper will be
administered. The meetings will be-
gin at 9 O'Clock each morning except
Sunday, and the afternoon sessions
will start at 2 O'Clock. The ordina-
ton sermon will be preached Sun
day morning at IL o'clock by the
Rev. George Hines.
1t is not expected that many
changes will be made by the confer
ence in the incumbents of Baltimore
pulpits. OF the larger churches, it
is thought that the Rev. G. w. Had
daway will return to Starr Church,
Garrison avenue, and that the Rev.
J. w. Kirk will remain at st. Johns,
Twenty-seventh and st. Paul streets.
Rumors were current yesterday that
change would be made in the pas
torate at East Baltimore Church,
which has been occupied by the Rev.
D. L. Greenfield, but it is not known
who will succeed him or where he
will be stationed. The Rev. L. B.
Smith is expected to remain at Christ
Church, on North avenue, and there
is no indication at present of any
change in the pastorate of the West
Baltimore Church, where the confer
ence is being held. The Rev. G. 1.
Humphreys is the minister at this
church and it is expected that he
will remain there for another term.
Several changes are pending
among the smaller Baltimore chur-
ches, but no information can be OBJ
tanned for several days as to the
definite plans which the conference
has for these changes.

BILLY SUNDAY
TICKETS IN DEMAND
Many People Seeking Admission to
The Tabernacle to Hear Evange-
list, And The Worst Part if it ALI
Is That No Tickets Are For Sale.

During the past few days there has
| been much discussion over tickets OF
admission to the tabernacle to hear
Rev. William A. Sunday on Monday,
April 10th. Nearly everyone wants
to hear the evangelist, and great
many requests have been made OF
Mr.. William E. Hearn, who has the
tickets in charge. Members of the
Grace Baraca Glass, who have been
enrolled since Dec. /. 1915, may OBJ
tain tickets from the store OF w. II.
Hearn & Son, starting tomorrow ana
ending Saturday, from two until hVe
o'clock in the afternoon, and from
$50 to 100 in the evening. The
tickets are absolutely free. and are
not for sale at any price.
Members of other organized Bible
classes OF the town must apply 10
their teachers for tickets After the
outsiders, to whom tickets have been
promised, are supplied the Barracks
will come in for proportlonate
share of the remainder, and may dis
tribute them as they see fit. The
Baraca Glass will occupy the pat
form.
A rumor has been circulated
around town that Billy Sunday Will
not come until Monday. April l7th,
postponing his visit a week later
than he had originally planned. This
is without foundation, as Mr.. sun
day has made no such a suggestion
to the class, and according to pres
ent arrangements he will come to
this city on Monday, April 10.
The committee in charge of clean
ing and repairing the tabernacle, OF
which Mr.. Harry Brannock is chair
man, started today to clean the
building. REFUSE is being removed
from the interior of the place and
the front of the tabernacle is receiv-
ing a coat of whitewash.
1t is presumed that the Billy Sun
day party, which, in addition to the
evangelist, will be composed of Gov
ernor Harrington and Homer Rode
HEAVIER, Sundays musical director,
will arrive in Cambridge on the State
steamer Thomas about one o'clock.
They will go Immediately to the
tabernacle where the service will
start upon their arrival.

A Cool Weather Crop.

Buckwheat is very sensitive to cold
and is killed by the first heavy frost.
1t fills best in cool weather, however,
and so the sowinys are deferred to
allow only time for the crop to ma
ture before frost occurs. Under the
most favorable conditions buckwheat
crop will mature in 10 weeks, but the
average time is about II weeks. When
seeded the last week in June or first
week in July in New York and Penn
sylvania and about a week earlier in
Michigan and Wisconsin it is most
likely to escape injury from hot wea-
ther, which, with drying winds and
hot nights, causes the flowers to bias.
and fail to produce seed. The seed
ing time for any locality is determined
fairly accurately by allowing it per-
iod Of II weeks for growth before the
first killing frost is expected.
The farmer does not need expen-
siVe machinery for harvesting the
puckwheat crop. An old-fashioned
cradle, although it requires hard la
Dor, does the harvesting well. The
drop reaper, however, is one of the
most satisfactory machines for har-
Vesting. Many farmers use the orGi-
nary binder, which practice is advis-
able where it can be followed. Gut
ting is begun as soon as the first lot
of blossoms have disappeared. or
often just before the first frost is ex-
pected. Buckwheat will mature It's
seed ma few days, if after cutting,
the crop is left in loose bundles where
they are dropped from the cradle or
reaper. 1t should then Sc set up in
small shocks and tied near the top
with some strands of the straw bent
upward from the sides of the shock.
The cot buckwheat is usually left in
the field in the shocks until threshing
time. when 1t is drawn in and thr ssh
ed either with the fail or by machin-
cry.
The farmer need generally have no
fear of this crop being damaged by
either insect enemies or fungous dis
eases, as the buckwheat plant is but
little affected by either of these. 1t
is an excellent crop for destroying
weeds and for renovating and putting
the soil in fine mellow condition.
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1916-06-17
TRANSPORTATION.

Interstate and interstate transpor-
tation have become so interviewer that
the attempt to apply two and often
several sets of laws to its regulation
has produced conflicts of authority,
embarrassment in operation and in
convenience and expense to the public.
The entire transportation system of
the country has become essentially
national. We. therefore, favor such
action by legislation or, if necessary,
through an amendment to the Consti-
tuition of the United States. as will
result in placing it under exclusive
federal control.
ECONOMY AND A BUDGET.
The increasing cost of the national
government and the need for the
greatest economy of its resources, in
order to meet the growing demands
of the people for government service,
call for the severest condemnation of
the wasteful appropriations of this
Democratic administration, of It's
shameless raids on the treasury, and
of its opposition to and rejection of
President Taft's oft-repeated propo-
sails and earnest efforts to secure econ
omy and efficiency through the estab-
lishment of simple, business-like
bndget system to which we niedpe orr

fertilizer. it is unnecessary for the
buckwheat crop. On the poorest hill
land small application of nitrogen
and phosphorus is advisable, but gen.
orally nitrogen is not needed, The
plant responds very really to appli-
cations of phosphates, however. Low
grade fertilizers containing phos-
phorus and a small amount of potas-
SUM can be used to advantage on the
crop where the land is poor.
Three varieties of buckwheat are
commonly grown in the UnitedStates,
japanese. Silver Hull and Common
Grey, the first two being most gen
orally used. japanese has large
dark-colored seed. while the Silver
Hull has a smaller seed, glossy or sill
very in appearance. These two varie-
ties are of about equal value when
yields are considered.

GROW BUCkWHEAT

Buckwheat is at present grown IN
this country almost wholly in the
States east of the Mississippi River
and north of the cotton belt. About
seven tenths of the crop is sown in the
two States, New York and Pennsyl-
vania, but it is important in several
other states, principal amnog which
are Michigan. West Virginia, Virginia,
Wisconsin, and Ohio. In the more
northern States buckwheat can he
sown over practically the entire area
without reference to elevation, but
farther south it is confined to the up
lands and mountainous sections.
Buckwheat should be sown on land
prepared as for corn. 1t is an excel
lent crop to sow where corn has been
planted but where a stand has not
been secured. Best results are CO.
tanned where the land is plowed early
and is we'll prepared. but fairly good
results can be obtained by sowing i'm
mediate!y after blowing and harrow
ing.
nuckwheat should generally be
seeded at the rate of or 4 pecks per
acre. If the soil is fertile and drill
is used and the seed is of good vital
ity, as little as 2 pecks may be usfIi-
clent. AS much as pecks are some
times sown. 1t is best to use a grain
drill, but this is not essential. as the
seed can be broadcasted and narrowed
in with satisfactory results. 1t should
be soWn from one-tifth of an inch to .
inches deep, depending on the condi-
ton of the soil.
Best Crop For Poor Land.
There is probably no other crop
that vii. produce better on infertiie,
poorly titled lands than will buck
wheat. 1t is well suited to light we'll
drained soils, such as sandy loans,
and to the silt loan soils. 1t needs
but little lime. growing well in acid
soils without lime, where alfalfa and
red clover would not succeed. When
the soil is poor, it is profitable to use
fertilizer. but where good wheat or
corn crops can be produced without
