suspicion. Inspectors, accordingly,
have been instructed to regard as sus-
picious and to collect samples of all
medicines in interstate commerce for
which such claims are made. Makers
Of such fraudulent remedies will be
vigorously prosecuted whenever the
evidence warrants action under the
Sherley amendment to the Food and
Drugs act. So-called remedies for in
fantile paralysis which are offered for
import into the country will be denied
entry.
The Food and Drugs officials are
particularly watchful in this instance,
because it has been noted in the past
that whenever serious epidemic ex-
lists INSCRIPTIONS dealers prey upon
the fear or ignorance of the public by
flooding the market with worthless
and hastily prepared connections for
which they assert curative properties
which have no foundation whatever in
fact. In the present instance inspec-
tors already have discovered ship
ment of few such mixtures.

Fake Paralysis Cures

Officials of the Department of Agri-
culture charged with the enforcement
of the Food and Drugs Act expect that
the outbreak of infantile paralysis
will tempt INSCRIPTIONS persons to
offer for sale so-called 'cures" or
remedies for this dread malady. They,
therefore. have issued special instruc
lions to the Food and Drug inspectors
to be particularly alert for interstate
shipments or importations of medi-
cines, the makers of which allege that
they will cure or alleviate this dis
ease, for which, at the present time.
no medicinal cure is known. The off,
Gals also warn the public that any
preparation put on the market and
offered for sale as being effective for
the treatment of infantile paralysis
should be looked upon with extreme

To Remove Fish Hatchery

The people of Havre de Grace are
concerned over the report that the fish
hatchery in the Susquehanna River,
near that city will have to be aban-
doned and new site, probably in the
Choptank River, will have to be Sc
lected. The cause of this proposed
step is the scarcity of roe shad and
other fish in the Susquehanna river.
The Government fish commissioner
claims that during the past spring he
was unable to secure sufficient shad
roe to keep the propagating plant
going. 1t is claimed this scarcity can
be avoided by removal to a point down
the Chesapeake Bay, the Choptank
river, it is said, offering the best site.
The Maryland Conservation Com
mission has bright expectations of the
protection of Maryland fish and CARDS
through cooperation with the Virginia
authorities. 1t is claimed that by this
cooperation shad and other fish will
be able to reach the Maryland tribu-
taries of the Chesapeake. For years
there has been a complaint by Mary
land fishermen that nets in the Vir-
glnia section of the bay ensnared the
shad and other fish, thus barring
them from the upper bay. The scar
city of shad is proving to he serious
menace in Maryland. To pound nets,
weirs and activities in the lower bay
can be attributed this scarcity.

Crop Prospects

Present indications point to a con-
siderably reduced yield of farm pro-
ducts in almost all lines, as compared
with last year. This condition is at
tributed by the Pennsylvania Farmer
to the freezing of last winter, the cold
late spring, excessive rainfall, and hot
weather in some sections. Extremely
high temperatures in the spring wheat
belt have prevented best grain forma-
ton. In some places black rust did
serious damage to the crop. In some
places wet weather did considerable
damage to winter wheat in shock
Cotton deteriorated in many places
on account of insufficient cultivation
due to wet weather. Corn suffered
from dry weather in practically all the
central and southwestern States. and
reports from Kansas indicate that the
crop has been badly damaged. Corn
is firing" in much of the corn belt.
Too much heat FASTENED the maturing
of oats, hence much of it is light and
chaffy. Rust did considerable damage
in New York, and wet weather has
damaged considerable in shock. Rye
and barley have produced normal
yields. Truck crops in the central and
eastern States are generally satisfac-
tory, and fair prices are being obtain
ed for good quality produce. Hay was
above normal in most sections and was
secured in good condition, except in
certain localities where wet weather
injured it and where it got too ripe on
account of the lack of help to harvest
it. Apples and peaches are only fair.
The "June-drop" was unusually heavy
in many places and the yield will be
below the estimate of two months ago.
1t must be remembered that the Weld
CT last year in nearly all lines was
considerably above the normal, so that
while We fall below last years record.
the 1916 production will be about nor
NAL in most lines.

Proper Preparation OF The Soil

1t matters little whether soil has
much or little fertility if that fertility
is bound up in clods or hard Jumps out
of reach of the rootlets of the young
plants. Early blowing and thorough
working and compacting Of the soil
will eliminate the Jumps and clods and
produce a finely pulverized compact,
misunderstanding seed bed, from
which, as soon as rootlets are sent out
from the seed kernel, the shoot will
begin to draw nourishment. This will
give vigor to the plants and thus en-
able them. by freely tillering, to out
grow light attack of the fly that
otherwise might prove serious.

Fifty Three Cuttings OF Alfalfa

Fifty-three cuttings Of alfalfa in Is
years, each cutting averaging from
one and one-half to two tons per acre
is the record made by C. M. Chiles,
on his farm near Strasburg, Va. Dur
ing the thirteen years he has cut over
70 feet of alfalfa and a total of 100
tons per acre from his field. He esti-
mates that his net return from alfalfa
per acre each year has been $3.50 per
acre. Careful preparation of the seed
bed. the correction of the acidity of
the soil with lime and the feeding of
the crop with fertilizer and manure
are the principal features in the plan
by which Mr.. Chiles has been SO sue
cessful in growing alfalfa.
