An Apple Packing School.

County Agent Van Hoesen has just COM
pleted arrangements for bringing fifteen
students Of Prof Beckenstrater's horticul-
tural class from the Maryland State College
of Agriculture to Montgomery county for
practical orchard work for the week Of
October 49, They will spend the entire
week in the orchard Of DR.. Francis Thomas,
Of Ednor. in picking, grading and packing
apples. DR.. Thomas will provide a large
tent so that the work Of grading and pack
ing can 90 on in spite OF unfavorable weather
conditions.
The experience will be very valuable to
the boys, as il will familiarize them with
the best commercial varieties and give
them some skill in grading under the new
State grading law. They will also be
shown how to pack in both barrels and
boxes and to select fruit for the show
room.
Thursday and Friday. October 18th and
/ goth. Prof. s. b. Shaw will conduct pack
ing school. At any time during these two
days. any who are interested in the grad
ing and packing Of apples under the new
law, or who are interested in getting their
fruit on the market in shape to command
the highest price. are cordially invited 20
visit the orchard. II is also an excellent
opportunity for all in the county who wish
to see the results of proper pruning and
spraying. A trip to this packing school
might easily result in showing how to make
the old home orchard pay, both in increased
satisfaction and hard cash.

a value Of 100000. The pieces were
strung on an iron rod one -fourth Of an inch
in diameter. and after wettine and reduc-
ing the paper to pulp. it was subjected to
pressure. trimmed down with penknife,
sandpapered and vanished. The different
colored checks used show through the var

dark notified wood. The trimmings and
parings from the work filed a wheel

Local Prize Corr Contest,

The Farmers Banking and Trust Co. Of
Montgomery county offers to the farmers
OF Montgomery county prize of five dol
lars in gold for the best white corn and
five dollars in gold for the best yellow
corn grown in Montgomery county There
will also be awarded ribbons for the second
and third best in both classes The con-
test will be under the following conditions
Each exhibit must consist of five ears of
corn grown in Montgomery county and
entered under the name of the grower.
Each exhibitor will have the privilege Of
changing his exhibit at any time he may
see fit until the close of the contest
All corn exhibited must remain on exhibit
ton for two weeks after the awards are
made.
The contest is now open and will remain
open until November 18th, 1916, at which
time it will be judged by an expert from
the Department of Agriculture.
The scale of points by which the corn
will be judged is given below. The score
card is based on utility. and not on pre-
conceived notion of what should constitute
fine looking ear Of corn. 1t has been
proven that corn which most nearly con-
forms to the scale of points. judged by the
variety standard, is the corn which gives
the highest uniform yield per acre, and
also shells the highest per cent Of grain
per hundred pounds of ears

Fire believed to have been of incendiary
origin destroyed the Office building at the
coal yards Of Charles F. Miller & Co., al
Bethesda. early last Tuesday morning. The
fire was discovered shortly after O'Clock
when the interior of the office was found
to be ablaze. When Mr.. Miller reached
the yards he found the office had been
broken into. An iron safe used for stor-
ing the company's books. papers, etc., was
open and its contents. scattered over the
floor, had been reduced to ashes. The steel
safe used for money was still closed, how
ever. though efforts apparently had been
made to open it. A bunch of oil-soaked
waste or oakum was found in the office,
where it is believed it was used by the
burglars in starting the fire which it was
hoped would cover the traces of their work.
In the presence of a large gathering, a
bronze tablet marking the site of the first
Presbyterian Church in Montgomery cOun-
ty. which was known as Captain Johns

yelled under the auspices of Janet Mont

can Revolution, OF this county. The site
of the church is where the Potomac South
ern Methodist Chapel now stands, The
tablet also marks the first grammar school
in the county, which stood not far from
the site of the old church. Mrs. James H.
Loughborough, vice-president of the chap
ter, introduced Judge Edward C. Peter, of
Rockville, who presided. After addresses
by Rev. Parke P. Flournoy. of Bethesda; ;
Rev. Dr. Taylor, of Washington, and Rev.

Commissioners of the District of Column
bia, Health Department. in public notice
of October 7, 1915, state that dairy farm
ers desiring to ship milk into the District
of Columbia will hereafter be expected to
have their premises in full compliance
with the District regulations and to have
their herds tuberculin tested or have a
signed agreement with the Bureau of Ami
NAL Industry for such test. before their
applications are filed. The adoption of
this new practice is the result of delays.
difficulties and misunderstanding that
have been caused in the past by allowing
time in which to comply with such re-
quirements after filing applications. APP
plications for permits to ship milk into the
District will ordinarily be finally acted upon
at the time of the inspectors first visit after
the application has been filed. In order
that prospective applicants may know
what the Health Department Of the Dis |
trict will require of them. the Health |
Officer will on request send inspectors to
the farms of persons intending to apply |
for permits, who will advise them as tc
the requirements of the Health Depart
ment and cooperate with them in meet
ing such requirements and in preparing
their applications"

The above points are based on the recog-
nized variety standards. That is, Heid's
Yellow Dent should have a length of from
10 to 10 1-2 inches. and a circumference
of from IA to 71-2 inches. Leaning
conform to the same standard. except that
its circumference is one-fourth of an inch
greater. Boone County White should be from
10 l-2 to II inchas long and 1-2 to 7 "a
inches in circumference. Hybrid white
and yellow should be from II 1-2 to IL I-2
inches in length and from 7 to 8 inches in
circumference
Other varieties have definite standards
according to their type.
The two greatest mistakes usually made
in selecting corn to be judged by the score
card is to select for bigness and to over
look uniformity. The biggest ear is not
often the best. and lack of uniformity has
lost many blue ribbon.
On the day the corn is judged the farm
ers are cordially invited to be present at
the Farmers Banking and Trust Company,
and after the awards are made the expert
from the department will give a short talk
on corn and discuss the merits of the corn
on exhibition and his reasons for awarding
the prizes

To Arouse. Insubordination
From The Philadelphia Record.

FROM Inc Philadelphia Record.
Mr.. Roosevelt is contemplating climax
to his deplorable career of violent Language
and lawless action. He is proposing TIC
address the soldiers in hostility to theiI
communicative chief. He will undertake to
create insubordination.
Last year the military commander at
Plattsbure was sharply and properly rep
rimanded for allowing Mr.. Roosevelt to
address the recruits there on a military
topic, preparedness. That is question of
national policy. and it is gross impro-
priety for any man to 60 to soldiers, or
persons under military training by the
War Department, with the discussion of
the Administration military policy.
Mr.. Roosevelt now proposes something
far worse. He proposes to 60 to FL Paso,
because $4,000 troops are in and around
the city, and do his utmost to bring their
commander-in-chief, the President of the
United States, into contempt by attacking
his official action in Mexican affairs. The
military authorities ought to prevent this.
In the civil war Clement L. Vallandg-
ham was removed from the United States
because of his attacks on the Administra-
ton which was carrying on war. Does Mr..
Roosevelt suppose that Abraham Lincoln,
whose name is ever on his lips, and not
one quality of whom is in his mind or
heart, would have allowed that arch cop
perhead" to 60 into the military camps and
denounce the President of the United
StatesS Edwin M. Stanton would have
exploded at the mere suggestion.
This is carrying politics into the army
when the army may at any moment be
called upon to act against Mexico. The
indecency of Mr.. Roosevelt's action ought
to be apparent to Mr.. Hughes and all the
Republican MANAGERS. We have no doubt |
that it is. But the Republicans do not
care for decency or anything else if they |
can by hook or by crook gain a few votes.
This INSCRIPTIONS party has dragged the
Supreme Court into politics. 1t has done
what was never done before since the time
OF Washington, 1t has carried politics into
our foreign affairs, and allowed, and even
encouraged. the bringing Of foreign issues
into politics. Now it would inject politics
into the army, and. if possible, destroy the
confidence of the troops in the command
er-in-chief. 1t has tried to ruin the busl-
ness Of the country in the hope that de-
preston would turn voters from the Demo-
cratic party. 1t is soliciting the support of
men who put the interests Of foreign Gov
above those of the American
Government and the American people,
And now it would destroy the morale of
The army. if possible. and excite insubor-
1ination in the ranks.
Every national interest the Republicans
are willing to sacrifice in the hope of max
ng some partisan gain.

Should Plant Forest Trees.
RESIDENTS OF MARYLAND ADVISED TO TAKE
ADVANTAGE OF STATE FOREST NURSERY
AND SECURE STANDARD TREES AT
COST.

With the coming Of the fall season the
State Board Of Forestry. 532 North How
ard street, Baltimore, is renewing its offer
to residents of Maryland to supply them
with standard forest and roadside planting
stock at cost. The nursery has been estab-
lished and growing trees for State I'M
provement work since the spring OF 1914.
The response with which it has met has
shown that the service which it offers is
appreciated generally by local landowners,
and II has enabled the extension of nursery
facilities to meet growing needs.
While in the past not as much of forest
and roadside planting has been done in
the fall as In the spring. there seems no
reason, practically throughout the State,
why this should not show steady increase
in the future In fact. there are several
distinct advantages attached to fall plant
ing which do not obtain in the spring.
Labor is usually more plentiful and cheap
er, and the ground is very frequently easier
to work" There are many reasons for
utilizing the months. of October and early
November for improvement work through
planting trees along the roads and on the
farms Of Maryland.
Two distinct classes of trees are offered
for sale this year Forest trees and road
side trees. Twelve hundred forest trees
are sufficient for planting an acre of
ground; one hundred and fifty shade trees
for mile of highway. Prices on the former
are. therefore. by the thousand. on the
latter by the hundred. and in both cases
are rated at the cost Of production.
Among varieties on hand. in forest trees,
are seedlings and transplants of white
pine. loblolly pine. Norway spruce. red oak
and black locust in the roadside trees
there are offered larger red oak transplants,
and larger transplant stock in white ash.
honey locust. American elm. black walnut,
and tulip poplar Prices range from 81
per thousand charged for the small white
pines to IS per hundred for transplants of
black walnut four to five feet in height.
The rates on Of all them are very reasonable,
as low as it is possible to make them
Packing is free, and instructions for plant
ing accompany each order.
