The recital given by Miss Helen Vir-
GINA Nesbitt in the Assembly hall last
Thursday evening, February 10, was a
literary treat which would be hard to
surpass. Miss Nesbitt had well ar
ranged program of humorous, pathetic,
oratorical and witty selections. She
evinced great ability as "a reader sand
held the closest attention of her audi
ence. Her charming personality and
her unaffected demeanor added greatly
to her performance. 1t is to be hoped
that Miss Nesbitt will appear in Oak
land again sometime. and that all the
lovers of art and literary culture may
have the privilege of hearing her.
Miss Hanna gave US very interest
ing and instructive talk about the care
of the teeth last Monday.

FISH PROTECTION MUST BE INSURED
Closed Season of Two Years Proposed
in Order to Get Stock From the
Government.

In order to secure fish to stock
streams from the United States Fish
Commission, it is proposed by sports
men to have the present Legislature
pass laws for the protection of fish. 1t
is understood that the government re-
fuses to supply fish for stocking streams
longer unless there is protection. 1t is
proposed to have the trout streams
closed for fishing for two years in order
to permit propagation to proceed IN
hindered.
In this event it is understood, the
government likely will accede to re-
quest for two carloads offish this spring
for local streams-one Of bass, pike and
other varieties and one of trout The
plan is to stock every stream in Allie
gany and Garrett. A delegation from
Allegany county is expected to visit
Annapolis in behalf of this legislation
and also to 90 to Washington TO urge a
liberal allotment of fish stock for the
local streams.

FOREST PLAN TING IS
A GOOD INVESTMENT
Experience in Maryland Shows Tree
Planting On Poor Farm Soils Pays.

During the past two years the State
Board of Forestry at Baltimore has
distributed from the State Forest
Nursery more than 125, 900 trees at
cost prices for forest planting on waste
lands. The average charge to residents
and land owners of the State was only
$3.50 per thousand, representing the
actual expense of growing them. The
Office of the State Forester directed the
planting of $4,000 of the trees.
1t would therefore seem that local
land owners are apprecis ling the facil-
tiles offered by the State Nursery and
have become convinced Of the soundness
of such a proposition, and of the
thorough practicability, in financial
sense, of retaining, through tree
planting, exhausted soils which cannot
be made to grow farm crops in paying
quantities.
One landowner in Northern MARYLAND.
near Havre de Grace, had $4,000 young
oak and Locust trees set out on poor
pasture land in 1914, and the plantation
so far Is very successful. Another,
living on the Eastern Shore, used
30,0 600 Loblolly Pine seedlings for
reforestration purposes to his own
satisfaction and the Improvement Of the
land. On the former site there should
be good crop of posts in not over II
to 10 years from the time of planting,
and the whole plantation may
either be handeled for such products,
in short rotations, or managed as a
longer time investment for valuable
saw timber The Loblolly should pro-
duce heavy yield of the latter, in ad-
dition to smaller material, secured from
occasional trimmings, for use about the
farm. In either case the work is con-
structive and desirable, and should be
profitable. A plantation of forest
trees protects the soil from erosion,
and is good investment for the sake
of the trees alone, though it is un-
doubtedlY true that stand of merchan-
table or growing timber adds to the
cash value of any farm.
The board has at this time about
10000 forest seedlings and trans
plants available for planting next
month. These, as were those last
year, will be sold to local land owners
at the cost of growing them. Prices
for small trees of suitable size to run
from 50 so per thousand for White Pine
seedlings to $l2 per thousand for Black
, Walnut transplants, and there are also
/ for sale at corresponding prices Nor
way, Red Oak, Black Locust, White
Ash, Honey Locust and American Elm.
/ Orders for less than thousand will be
! filed at the regular per thousand rate,
with small charge for packing.
( Stocks of some varieties are limited,
but trees will be reserved for those who
/ get their orders INTO the office of the
/ State Forester. Johns Hopkins Univer-
sity, Baltimore, before the stock is ex-
hausted. Price lists and blanks for
/ ordering will be forwarded upon appllca-
ton. together with any information de-
sired on the subject Of tree planting,
but the planting should be done before
/ April 10th for best results.

WRECK ON GRADE.
nany Cars Broken Up and All Tracks
Were Blocked Monday Afternoon.

Monday afternoon a wreck of a
freight train on the Seventeen mile
grade, near Bond Junction, tied up all
traffic for several hours.
The wreck was caused by a broken
wheel of freight car on an eastbound
train which caused it to leave the track
and pile up along with several other
cars, blocking all three tracks so com
pletely that trains were delayed four to
five hours. The westbound accommoda-
ton, due in Oakland at Sis in the after
noon, did not get through until after II
O'Clock that night. Eastbound train
No. l6 was held at Altamont until the
tracks were cleared.
