SUFFRAGE SUNBEAMS.
DO YOU KNOW

~ / W hANoh
That all the great statesmen per-
sistently refer to the fact that the
government of the U. S. is a Govern
ment by the people," Are women not
people as well as men?
That the Woman Suffrage Party of the
City of New York has presented to the
War Council Of the Y. w. C. A. Sl2, 900
with which to build. equip and maintain
unit for soldiers this is the first unit
rendered that organization for war
services.
That the women of the city ask for
the vote that they may better protect
the country girl who comes there for
work and give her better working con
ditions.
That the vote of the women in rural
districts would be an influence that
would help to give children the best
educational advantages in the rural
schools.
That farm that is run without a
woman's help isn't much of farm.
That because the farmers ofManitoba,
Alberta, Saskatchewan, Kansas, Cali
fornia, Oregon, Washington and other
Suffrage States knew this they gave
their women the vote.
How about the farmers of MARYLAND?

SUBURBS VALUABLE TO CITY.

That the suburbs of Baltimore, lying
outside the political government of the
city but bound to it by many lines of
electric and steam railways and finely
paved thoroughfares, as well as water
communication with lmportantindustria
sections like Sparrows Point and Curtis
Bay, are of just as much value to the
city for all but taxing purposes as if
they were in the city proper, is main
tanned by the opponents of annexation.
Many of the people who work IN the
large plants around Baltimore reside in
the city. They and those who live in
the suburbs spend their money in the
city to the same extent as if the urban
limits included all of them. The CITY
and all its suburbs are one settlement,
one nerve centre, one great pulsating
heart which sends the lifeblood of COM
merce through the arteries of trade. 1t
is contended by those who oppose an
nexation, and this includes many CITY
residents, that if there were no subur-
ban sections, with low rates of as
sessment and taxation, many of the
plants which now pour a golden flood in
to the cash registers of Baltimore

PLANT CORN.

The most effective way to remedy
the probable shortage in the wheat
crop is to plant corn. Ordinarily the
quantity of corn produced IN the
United States is from three to four
times the quantity of wheat, but only
a very small portion of the crop-from
to 10 per cent.-has been used for
human food. This amount may be
estimated in normal times at about
10000, 900 bushels year Not over
per cent. has been exported in peace
times. A relatively slight increas in
the corn acreage, therefore, will place
many millions of bushels more of
human food at the disposal of the
world without interfering in any way
with the feed needed for the support of
live stock.
In the past, with An abundance of
grain of other kinds, corn has not
been in great demand for human con-
sumption. But with other grains no
longer abundant, circumstances will
compel more general recognition of
the value of corn as human food. The
department is urging strongly the
wider use of corn in the diet. 1t is the
best substitute for wheat that we have
and can be utilized in breads, mushes
and a variety of other ways We
should make every effort to avail our
selves of it.
PLANT corn" this should be the
motto of every farmer in a section
suited to the crop.

Her life was constant proof of the
power of Christ to save from sin. In
her home her warm sympathetic nature
was always benediction Her charac-
teristic gentleness of spirit and upright
ness of life, caused her to be loved
greatly by family, friends and neigh
bors. Her last days were full of ex-
IRENE suffering but she endured as
seeing him who is invisible" Before
she crossed the river of death she gave
to loving friends strong assurance of
her faith in Jesus To her the end of
life here was but the dawning of
Heavens eternal day.
The funeral services were conducted
on Tuesday morning at eleven O'Clock

SHEEP GROWERS ORGANIZE.


College Park, Aug. 9-What is
hoped to be the criterion of many
similar actions over the State is the
recent organization in Garrett county
of Sheep Growers Association.
In order to put this waning industry
back into the place where it belongs,
some effective measures must be
taken to control the vagrant dogs, to
purchase co-operatively better stock,
and to lend more encouragement gen
.erally than the sheep growing indus
try has heretofore met with.
This Association hopes to meet
these needs in various ways, and has,
among other things, addressed and cir
culated a petition addressed to the
next meeting of the State Legislature
for the passage of Statewide Dog
Law, similar to the one now in force
In Allegany county.
The Sheep Growers Association, as
now organized, will consist of local
sheep clubs in the several districts Of
the county, and these will be affiliated
with the County Association Repre-
sentatives of the former will consti-
tute the governing board of the latter.
There is great need for many more
like organizations in the State, and
plans for organization will be gladly
furnished by any County Agent for his
respective county, or by Mr.. F. B. Bonn
haroa, of tho Extancion Carvica Of tho
State Agricultural College.

WORK LAND FOR WHEAT AT
ONCE

Ccsege Park, Aug. 9.-What will
the 1918 wheat crop be. or rather what
can be done to insure the best pos
>sible results?
How is Maryland to meet the situa-
ton calling for more bushels? Will
it be by increased acreage or by in
creased production per acre? I'm
doubtedly both would be ideal; but
both are hardly possible. The acreage
increase can hardly be more than Is
per cent because in those counties of
the State where wheat is a main crop,
the acreage is at present almost a
maximum There are ten counties in
the State where wheat is a secondary
crop, due to the other crops which
have proven more profitable; and we
find, considering all angles of the
situation, that large increase in
acreage would be apt to disturb the
balance of other crops, and increased
acreage also brings with it the need
of more labor, which at present is
very scarce.
The route to follow, then, is obvious,
"a greater production per acre, and
the opinion Of the Extension Service
of the Maryland State College Of
Agriculture is that one of the most
important factors entering into this
is early seed bed preparation.
In the principal wheat growing dis
tricts the methods of land preparation
for wheat, on the average farm, is very
good. But on many, due to the scarcity
of labor, plowing of stubble where
wheat is to follow wheat is being de-
layed, and each week of delay means
so much increase in weed growth, so
eventually at seeding time with less
effective seed bed.
To offset late plowing, all land for
Alkheat should be thoroughly disked as
soon as possible. Time spent in this
way is not wasted, for a disking before
blowing breaks up the clods which
would be difficult to reach with disk
or harrow when they have been turned
under 1t kills weeds and puts mulch
on the surface reducing the loss of
water, the supply of which is often a
very determining factor in the next
years crop.
Where wheat does not follow wheat,
1t is customary to seed it in the stub
BILE after corn. In the sections where
stones interfere with disking, spring
tooth harrow takes the place of the
disk; but whatever the implement
nsed on the stubble, the seed bed
should be as deep as is possible to
make it, should be dragged or rolled
to make it compact as a preventive
measure against winter-killing and
heaving, and this should be done as
quickly as possible after the corn
Is off.
Briefly the advice to wheat growers
Is to get onto the land and work it as
soon as possible,-stubble land at pres
ent with disk if not with plow, and
the corn land as soon as the crop can
be taken off.

WHEN THE HENS MoULT.

College Park, Aug. 16.-That proper
care and feeding of hens during the
moulting season Is of utmost import
ance is being pointed out by Roy H.
Waite, Poufryman Of the Agricultural
Experiment Station. He says:
"Take good care OF your hens during
the moult if you wish them to produce
eggs for you later in the season. The
moulting produces quite jolt to hens.
This is shown by their nervous condi-
tion at the time of moulting apd by
their dropping off laying. Naturally
birds moult few feathers at a time,
but this has all been changed in the
domestic fowl which moults in COM
paratively short time. Some Of the
best laying hens seem to drop their
feathers all at once.
During the moult hens do not re-
qulre as much energy, heat and fat
forming feeds as they do when lay
ing but they do need more tissue build
ing feeds. Lnseed meal furnishes just
the kind of nourishment needed to
produce feathers. Add about 10 per
cent of linseed meal to the mash dur
ing the moulting period. Sunhower
seeds are Just as good If you have
them feed liberal amount. Be care
full to not overfeed hens that have just
come through the moult, as there is a
tendency for them to become overfat-
"Keep them active and working and
soon they will get back to laying,
If they are the laying kind"
