Associations are offering the counties
500 in prizes to encourage local

such a show in Cecil county. The
matter was not very favorably con-

,oOd roads thata tahaa eveFything but

good roads that had everything but
trees.
Since then Marylander's have
taken well to cultivate waste places
with tree crops, and their lands have
responded most favorably to such re-
forestatioo work. The Board of
Forestry, realizing that practical
service of this sort filled real needs
and seemed to be thoroughly aprre-
ciated, little-by-little extended the
size of the Nursery, and planted
trees, and then more trees. Fall
planting, though not as old in GUS
tom, is now as successful in practice.
in the southern half Of the State, as
such work done in spring. In fact,
from the standpoint of labor, the ad-
vantage is often with work done in
the fall.
Prices for trees this autumn are
as reasonable as formerly, ranging
from 81 thousand for white pine
seedlings to 20 cents each for hard
wood trees which may be used for
roadside planting. Other sizes of
white pine suitable for reforestation
work, Norway Spruce seedlings and
transplants, Loblolly pine and
Scotch pine transplants and other
conifers available, with red oak.
black locust, American elm, and
black walnut, in sizes which range
from feet to IL. The highest
prices obtaining on these last are 20
cents each for oak, ash, and elm
trees from 10 to IL feet high.
Those who wish to carry out
ornamental paintings are strongly
urged to take the matter up with
their nearest commercial nursery.
The object OF the State Forest Nurse
ry is to grow and sell to residents
of Maryland, trees Of the right size
and standard varieties for reforest-
ing farm and waste lands and carry
ing out the provisioos OF the Road
side tree law for public shade tree
work.
With the exception Of the white
and loblolly pines, all trees quoted
will grow in any corner of the State.
White Pine is well adapted to any
section but the lower Eastern Shore
and Southern Maryland, and Lob
lolly Pine is suited naturally to the
former region. In southern Mary
land, Scotch Pine will thrive and
grow a crop Of value. On the 675,-
900 acres of waste lands in the
otherwise rich State OF Maryland,
there is not only much room but also
real need for planting trees. In
times like the present, there is not
| a State which could or should afford
to leave one acre idle that may be
made to yield efficient contribution
toward the feeding,- clothing or
warming OF Americans and their
allies.

State Roads Commission Finds Con
victs Do Their Work Well.

The working of convicts on State
roads has proved success, and the
State Roads Commission is to ask the
State Board of Prison Control for
another gang to be put to work at
once.
The first gang is engaged i'll repair
work, and though they were green at
the task when it was begun in the
middle of the summer, have become
expert, and the results are all that
had been hoped. Warden John F.
Leonard of the Penitentiary selected
the men and gave the Roads Com
mission able-bodied and willing fell
lows, and they have worked we'll to
show their appreciation of being per-
mftted to go outside the prison. Dis
interested persons who have observ-
ed them at work have declared that
they do better than free labor
Roads Chairman Zouck wants Gov
ernor Harrington to approve plan
by which able-bodied convicts whose
terms are to expire in two or three
months may be paroled in custody of
the Roads Commission, and if they
behave well they need not return to
the prison.

October.

Wild, fearless, free, gypsy lass -
October trips the brittle grass
With flashing feet, red-brown and
bare,
And 'twigs of rowan in her hair;
With laughing, carmrne-painted
lips,
The frost-brewed wild-grape wine
she sips.
Her eyes upon the woods she
speeds
Away across the tinkllng meads;
The dancing asters nod and sway
Like children, fancy free, at play;
Along the streams her swift foot
fall
Leaves tatters of her crimson
shawl.
With reckless hand she lights the
fires
On all the forests leaf-laid pyres;
The slopes are draped with gray
knit frills,
And incense rare perfumes the
hills.
All, lass, you've turned the trick
for shame!
The woods, the woods are all
aflame!

)le's Home Journal for October.

Eat slowly, masticate your food
thoroughly, abstain from meat for a
few days and in most cases the sour
stomach will disappear. If 1t does
not, take one Of Chamberlain's Tab

meats are most likely to cause sour
