Ehrhart Outlines Road Plan.

Thos ]. Ehrhart, state highway COM
missioner, has a somewhat different
plan for centralizing the control Of
road building in Colorado from that
offered by other experts. Mr.. Ehrhart
il a strong exponent of the centraliza.
ton plan, but offers a less circuitous
path, some students of the problem
believe, to achieving 1t than that
which entails the practical abolish
ment Of the present highway statutes,
with a bond issue of $25. 100000. Mr..
Ehrhart's plan involves in effect the
same provisions as that submitted by
other experts to the state survey COM
mittee, which has undertaken a clear
ing house. statewide suggestion
method Of framing a practical law, but
it does not give the state highway
commission plenary control, nor take
maintenance responsibility for state
roads off the shoulders of the county
authorities. Under the plan proposed
to the state survey committee the
highway commission would be en-
powered to take over all state roads
after they are completed and keep
them in condition. and have advisory
control over the county roads. Mr.
Ehrhart's proposal provides that the
highway commission shall have only
authority to compel the counties to do
the necessary amount of maintenance
work. 1t provides also for road over
seers, chosen by competitive examina-
ton IL necessary, in each county who
will be subject to removal by the high.

HARM BY BLACKBERRY BORER
spraying 10 Of No Avaii-cuttins and
Burning At Time Of Regular
Pruning 10 Favored.

The blackberry cane borer has been
seriously troublesome in many parts Of
the country recently, killing the canes
and thus running the chances Of the
crop. No spraying is Of any use, but
find cutting and burning does the
trick, says q writer in an exchange.
There are two ways of doing this
work. One is to look for, cut on and
burn all the swelled parts Of the black
berry canes at the time Of the regu-
lar winter or early spring pruning.
There Is no installing these swellings,
because they are fully double the d.
ameter Of the cane itself. 1t is not
necessary to bother with the whole
cane-just the swelled part with an
Inch or two above or below the swell
ing. The cut pieces may be easily
carried in a BASKET.
Where a very serious attack has
occurred, and where other blackberries
are growing in the neighborhoOd,
have found it a good plan to cut of
all the young shoots produced before
the end of June, SO as to destroy the
young grubs in them. By that time
all the adult beetles will have died,
SO the canes produced during July will
be free from the borers. There Is no
use saving "galled" cane, for 1t can't
produce a decent stand of berries. The
sooner it Is burned the better. It is
not necessary to burn the green shoots,
because the borers, being footless, can
not crawl to new canes, and are also
unable to live on dead wood.

PEAR NEEDS GOOD DRAINAGE
Surplus or sta0nant Water Detri-
mental to Health Of Tree-Under-
ground bitches Favored.

1t is essential to the health of the
pear that no surplus or stagnant wa
ter be allowed to remain on the sur
face or in the soil.
If the natural formation of the land
does not afford good drainage it should
be provided artificially either by un-
derground drains or by surface bitches.
The subdrainage method Is preferable,
because it is more thorough, and If &C
'complished by well-laid tile, is far more
satisfactory.
Breaking up stiff clay land by
double-plow subsoiling will in a meas
ure afford temporary subdrainage, but
in time the soil will again become COM
pacted and the subsoiling will need
to be repeated.

THE SILVER LINING

If one will look carefully enough,
there can generally be found a silver
lining to every cloud. The late Re-
publican primary in this county had
some rather unpleasant features, but
it at least demonstrated how hard
some of our local Republicans can
work. from whom our Republican
tickets at the general election have
never received much if any support.
These gentlemen have generally been
too busy" or too feeble to do any
active service for the party when we
have been trying to elect our State or
county tickets. We are glad to find
that they have more time and strength
at their disposal than was generally
thought We hope they will continue
their political activities. When they
are right they will win; when they
are wrong they will lose. But win or
lose they will have demonstrated the
fact that they can be counted on for
party service.

claimed for him during the primary
contest.
Inc Republicans of Maryland should
ow organize for victory. They will
have a hight to make ana the outcome
will be influenced to no small degree
by the nature of the national cam
pajgn. Maryland stands ready to do
its full duty. There never was a time
since the Civil War, when the condi-
tons of national action were so grave.
Therefore the man who shall be elect
ed from Maryland to the Senate this
fall will be placed in a position of
grave and momentous influence. He
will need to be man of the capabil-
ity, training, temperament and edu-
cation of DR.. France. He will need to
possess the ideals of action and honor
for the nation that are part of the
heritage of the Republican party.
1t is generally felt that the present
incumbent of the White House has
exhausted the stores of his resources
for the country and it is believed that
the nation is ready to turn to the Re-
publican party. Hence the campaign
for DR.. France will be campaign of
the widest national interest and one

AFTER THE BATTLE

We congratulate the Republicans Of
Cecil on the good judgment they dis
played in Mondays primary by giving
DR.. France a substantial! majority in
his own county. The proposition they
faced seemed to be a very simple one;
but so much had been said and done
to befog the issue and confuse the
Judgment that one need not have been
wholly surprised had the Republican
voters been warped from their plain
duty and led into an egregious error.
Fortunately for the welfare of the
party, and for the fair name of the
county, the error was avoided, and
the county did the right and proper
thing for itself as well as for DR..
France.
Now that the battle is over we can
afford to forget the cleavages and SIM
ply remember that our county has the
good fortune to present to the State
of Maryland a candidate for the Sen
ate of the United States; and can
didate who has not only fairly won the
endorsement of the Republican party
throughout the State, but has won for
himself golden opinions from men Of
all classes wherever he has gone. One
of the finest and truest tributes to Dr.
Frances real worth and simple man
illness is that the better he is known
the more he is appreciated The low
hest, as well as the most learned, man
seems to recognize in him genuine,
modest manhood that attracts both
alike. His candidacy will grow stron-
ger as the days go by, because the
more the people come to know him the
more they will realize that he has in
him nothing of the clap-trap politician
just the genuine makeup of the
man who feels that his opportunities
are an obligation; an obligation to "do
all that doth become a man" for the
welfare of his fellow men and for the
public good.
DR.. France can certainly feel only
proper pride at the splendid vote given
him here in Cecil by his nearest neigh
bors. AS that sense of neighborliness
widens with his growing candidacy We
predict a great Strengthening of his
support, from recognition of his per-
sonal worth, as well as from the gov
ernmental policies for which he stands.
AS an exemplfication of what we
have been saying above, let it be
noted that DR.. France has come
through weeks of a hard primary
fight, without speaking a word or do
ing a deed that was unbecoming a
gentleman or that could impair his
dignity as man.
AS a fellow-countian we send him
neighborly greetings on his success:
as a fellow Republican We send him
assurance of our loyal support; as a
fellow man We send him our congra-
tulations on his untarnished manhood
in his political foundations
