STATE FORESTER
in THIS COUNTY
Forestry Matters of Local and
General Importance to Be
Gone Over.

The Western MARYLAND counties are
receiving a visit from the State
Forester, F. w. BesleY Mr.. Besley is
making a tour of the state for the
purpose of extending the valuable work
being done by the Maryland State
Board OF Forestry, and of stimulating
practical interest in it on the part of
the local residents and owners of wood
land.
At each point touched by the State
Forester careful study is being made
of such special timber problems as may
confront the farmers and other land
owners with stands of valuable timber
which through little practical care of
the right sort might readily become so.
The Board of Forestry has a well de.
fined plan for woodlot Improvement and
the marketing of forest products, and
it is the purpose of Mr.. Besley to ex-
plain the operation of this plan to all
who may have an interest in it through
owning forest lands not in their highest
state of productivity. Such lands may
be Inspected at this time free of charge.
and at any time at no cost but the
travelling expenses of the State Forester
from his office and return. Actual i'm
provement work-and this includes the
marking for removal of the trees which
should come out, their estimate. and a
list of timber buyers-is done at a very
low per diem charge representing per
haps cost of 80 cents or less per acre.
Such work should be taken up during
the Forester's stay or by communicat-
ing with his office at Johns Hopkins
University, North Howard street,
Baltimore.
In addition to this special field of
work, Mr.. Besley is also taking COM
plete census of sawmill operations and
all wood-using industries; securing the
names of woodland owners and exanin-
ing their properties where it is so de-
sired; calling upon the States Forest
Wardens, and visiting ones whom it has
been suggested be given this office;
taking up the question of better fire
protection with county officials and
private individuals; securing local
timber, wood and lumber prices, logging
and milling costs; making a study of
local shade tree conditions and problems
in towns and cities; visiting planting
projects; calling upon oranges, So
cieties, and civic clubs who may be ex
pected to take helpful interest in the
forest problems of the state. In other
words, Mr.. Besley is making a careful
study of all such questions with the idea
OF furthering the work of the board
throughout the state.

BULL MOOSE GOATS.

When Wilson summoned his cam
paign managers to luncheon at the
White House he carefully separated
the sheep from the goats. That is,
he entertained the faithful Democrats
on one day and the cooperating
Proressives on another. This is
typical of the manner in which Demo-
cracy is dealing with the Bull Moose
as distinguished from the manner IN
which the Republicans act toward
them. The Progressiyes who are as
sisting in the management of the
Hughes. canvass are full-fedged mem
bers of the committee. Their pres
ence and their activities there are
proof of complete and genuine
amalgamation between the two ele-
ments who warred against each other
and against the interests of the ma
tion-in 1912. The Democrats, on
the other hand. do not admit the Pro-
gressives to fellowship. Their attitude
is that the Bull Moose may help Wilson
in his campaign for reelection, but they
must not be permitted to know too
much about the fight nor are they to be
allowed to count themselves members
of the family. Their assistance is &C.
cepted, bat it is none too welcome.
They can help if they want to, but they
must not expect to eat with the family.

BY the terms of the Adamson Bill the
United States government assumes
control over railroad wages as we'll as
over railroad rates.
Neither the unions nor the railroads
seem to realize as yet that as a result
of their eight-hour controversy govern
ment regulation of interstate common
carriers has entered into a new phase.
Both the union leaders and the
railroad presidents assume that the
Adamson Bill arbitrarily establishes an
eight-hour day for train crews. 1t does
not. 1t establishes an experimental
eight-hour day to enable Congress to
obtain information upon which to take
definite action.
By the terms of the act an eight
hour day is to 60 into effect January l.
The President is to appoint commission
to study the practical workings of this
eight-hour day. The activities of the
commission are to cover a period of not
less than six months or more than nine
months. The eight-hour day is extend
ed for 80 days after the report of the
commission, the whole question having
again become subject to the will and
authority of Congress,
Out OF this must necessarily come a
new railroad code under which railroad
labor no less than railroad capital will
be subject to the control of the United
States government. New York World.

Killed By Accidental Discharge
of Shotgun.

Charles Teets. aged II, Of the Noun
tain Dale neighborhood of Preston
county, w. Va, near the Maryland
inc, was instantly killed yesterday as
the result of the accidental discharge
of his gun. He was on the road to a
neighbors house. carrying the gun, and
when found few minutes after the
report of the gun, was lying beside a
log against which the gun rested. 1t
is supposed that the young man was
searching for shovel he had previous
y secreted under the log while at work
on the road.

In 1908, when Maine went Republi-
can by 1868 in the Gubernatorial cleo
ton, she gave Taft 80, 584 in November.
In 1912. when Republican Progressive
truce yielded the party plurality of
1926 in September, the combined vote
in November out-totaled Wilson's by
23,925. What does a September ma
jority of $1,000 forecast for November
Z? By the rule of proportions, about
$4,000.
Seriously, however, both the Demo-
Gratis and Republicans succeeded in
injecting national issues into this
campaign to far greater extent than
is usual. Strict alignment on ma
tional issues in the Main State cleo
tons Is impossible; for prohibition
is ever an acute State issue there and
on it the electorate is nearly equally
divided. But, while we may count
on a largely increased Republican
majority in November, the great
questions raised by Mr.. Wilson's Adj
ministration of the nations affairs
were in the minds of voters yesterday.
The defeat of Congressman McGilh-
cuddy by upward of 400 contrasts rather
sharply with his election in 1912 by
nearly 1900 oyer a candidate who had
the combined Republican, Progressive
vote. But Senator Johnson was the
candidate on whom the Administration
pinned It's hopes. Its speakers fought
hard for him. They themselves made
his reelection or defeat the test of in
dorsement or reputation of the Wilson
policies. He was badly beaten.
1t is only fair to say that the results
fail to disclose which of the many Will
son policies contributed most to bring
about the general adverse decision. The
Republican campaign was long in
lethargic condition; the Democratic
campaign lively and aggressive. The
Republicans woke up with Mr.. Roose-
velt's famous speech at Lewiston. Mr..
Hughes, in the last three DAYS, put
still more life into them. The two. be-
tween them, brought home to the

The fourth annual fair of the Agri-
cultural Association of Garrett county

manent institution with the prospects
eventually of taking its place among

EXPOSURE is MOST
INJURIOUS To DAIRY COW
Milk Production Decreases If
Care is Not Taken Before
Colder Weather.

Exposure to cold rains in No
vember is often more injurious
to dairy cows than the colder
but dry weather of the later win
ter, C. H. Eckles of the Dairy
Department of the College of
Agriculture of the University of
Missouri says. The COW unlike
a fat steer has no layer Of fat
for protection. Bad weather
and exposure causes a drop in
milk production.
Every cold rain should find the
COW protected. 1t is not neces-
sary that any large amount be
spent for their housing but
barns should have tight walls
and a good roof. Care should
also be taken to make them SAM,
tary.

AUTUMN LEAVES GOOD
FOR USE AS FERTILIZER
Millions of Bushels Wasted Each
Year in Missouri Because
of Lack of knowledge.

Autumn leaves are a most
valuable fertilizer and many
seek to obtain high grade stable
manure at top prices would do
well to preserve the leaves which
fall from trees and shrubs in
their yards, H. F. Majors, assis-
.tant professor in landscape gar
dening of the department Of
horticulture of the University
of Missouri says. Millions Of
bushels of fertilizer which could
be produced from decaying
leaves are annually wasted in
Missouri because of thoughtless-
ness.
Experiments have proven that
the fertilizer produced is moi
only valuable for farm fertilizer
but for lawns and gardens. Al
the University the leaves art
thrown into pits, soaked down
and slightly mixed with clay 0,
