SEEKS ROAD COOPERATION
Governor To Ask Pennsylvania To Do
Work Near Gettysburg.

Governor Harrington will write To
Governor Brumbaugh or Pennsyl-
vania and ask that the Road ON
mission of that State take immediate
steps to build the road between the
State line above Emmitsburg, Md,
and Gettysburg, Ia.
Maryland has built fine road from
Frederick to the State line and is
connecting Baltimore up with this
road through Westminster and Tanay-
town In a few days the contract for
the last link, that between Emmits-
burg and the Monocacy river, will be
let. The road between the State line
and Gettysburg long has been in bad
condition and has discouraged tour
lists from going TO Gettysburg by way
of Emmitsburg, which is the shortest
route from Frederick and Washington.

Movable Farm %GhnMI.

Wy TaneytoEn had a sample this week
OF the movable farm school, and those
who attended its sessions expressed
themselves a. very much in favor of
the movement.
Through the effort of our county
agent, Grover Kinzy, the service OF
Professors G. E. Temple and w. e.
Kemp was secured from the Maryland
Agricultural College, and for three
days, with two sessions each day
these men and the county agent
brought to the farmers in attendance
the latest results of state and federal
experimentation in several lines WI
agriculture. Prof. Temple II an ex-
pert in diseases, and demonstrated
very clearly the cause of much of the
crop failure, treating of various kinds
of fruit, potatoes, cabbage, tomatoes
etc. He showed how, at very small
cost, many Of the commonest troubles
may be remedied, with immense prof
its to the farmer. Prof. Kemp il an
expert in soils and crops, and devoted
h1s time chiefly to fertilization, dis
cussing general soil conditions, lime
manure, commercial fertilizer, crou
rotation, etc. 1t is perfectly plain
that II the farmers will follow the
practical instruction, 1t will yield a
large return in cash. These men
brought to the farmers in plain lang
uage some of the training that can
generally be secured only in the a.
rlcultural college, and alt high cost
1t was very evident from the work or
the county agent himself that he is a
scientifically trained farmer, and that
he means to b. of service wherever
h1s services are desired.
liz IL the intention To give the ben
ent or these schools to other parts OF
county, where they may be desired.

President Considers Action
as Reflection on Himself

wASHIN TON, July 23.-The
President tonight hit hard mt the
effort of Congress to max. itself
Jointly responsible with him for
the conduct of the war.
In n letter 10 Representative Le-
ver. father OF the food control bill,
he demands the elimination OF the
Owen amendment which created n
joint congregational committee to
supervisc the financial conduct of
the wnr.
.T could only interpret Its HnnI
adoption the President wrote. "as
arising from n lack of confidence In
myself"
"My dear MIR. Lever the Presi-
dents letter runs. 81 am very much
obliged to you for your thought full
courtesy in stating to me the cir
cumntnnces of the present action on
the food administration bill, and
AM particularly Obliged to you for
calling my attention to section, 2:s.
1 deem 1t my duty to express my
opinion about that Hection md it's
effect upon the whole admin Is trn-
tion of the war very frankly In
deed, since the public interest man.
ifcxtly demands that do no.
"Section 23 In not only entirely
foreign to the subject mntter OF tue
food administration, in which II IL
Incorporated, hut would. if enacted
into law, render my tnsk OF con-
ductinE the wnr practically impos-
sibie. I cannot believe thnt those
niyed Ii with cnre or nnnly1cd the
effects which it's operation would
necessarily have. The constant su-
per,tsior OF executive notion which
it contemplntcs would amount to
nOthlnE Iess than an assumption on
the pnrt of the legislative body nf
