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 comparatively better stock,
and to lend more encouragement gen.
orally 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 a 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 a 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
berger, of the Extension Service of the
State Agricultural College.

THE HOME GUARD.

Many months ago, when there was
talk OF the draft, and when it was
practically certain our soldier boys of
the Machine Gun Company and Com
pany NJ would be sent away, this
paper advocated a Home Guard.
There is every reason why Home
Guard should be established. es-
pecially at this time Our women
must be given proper protection, and
this truth has come home TO us forci-
bly, within the past few days.
If our women are not safe in their
homes in broad daylight. now. at this
early stage of our participation in in
ter-national hostilities, what Will be
the case in months to come.
The women of Annapolis want pro-
lection. They have never felt that
they needed it before. but they do
now. 1t is up to the Governor and the
Adjutant General TO organize and es-
tablish a Home Guard. with Annapolis,
the capital of the State. as its first
seat OF action. There is every reason
apparent for the establishing of a
Home Guard here and NOW.

HARNESSING VOLCANOES.

In our childhood days. the thought
of Vesuvius or Etna belching fire,
smoke, lava and destruction made us
SILVER. We were sorry for those
countries afflicted with the presence
OF volcanoes. We were glad to live a
long distance from them.
In the last few years, however, Italy
has been Harvesting her vocanoes
and turning them to practical use.
She is using volcanic heat to warm
her houses and light her cities. In
one instance a we'll was drilled to a
depth where a pressure of several
atmospheres and temperature of $50
degrees released sufficient power to
produce an electric current of TO-
600 volts. This is now being used in
a practical commercial way.
Meanwhile the capital prize is wait
ing for the individual who will har-
ness war and turn il to practical use

An RNTERpRIsING NEWSPAPER.

The Washington Times, an enter
prising, up-to-date newspaper. has
offered a reward of $500 for the APP
prehension OF the murderer OF Mrs
Lottie Brandon, whose tragic death at
the hands of brute occurred some
time, between s A. NJ and p. NJ
Wednesday
That an out-of-town concern should
manifest so keen an interest in the
bringing TO justice of the criminal in
the case, puts to shame those nearer
home.
Certainly some reward should be Of
fered by the city or county, or both
to run down the criminal who is al
large, and who may commit a SINH
lar crime upon some other defense
less woman in Annapolis.
We take off our hats to the Wash
ington Times for its enterprise, and
hope our local authorities may take
the hint

KEEP ON swATTINe.

College Park, Aug. 9.-Perhaps the
suggestion for continued warfare on
the house fly at this season seems i'll
timed. Flies have been with US for
several months. and their great num-
bers make the matter of determination
seem rather huge undertaking. But
freedom from the fly nuisance results
during the entire warm months, not in
killing the ones already Matched, but
through preventive measures TO de-
stroy the breeding places.
On the farm. undoubtedly the most
convenient and easily accessible hatch
cry, from the fly's viewpoint at least,
Is the manure pile.
AS long as breeding places are con-
vsnient, flies viii be with US always.
This means there must be some COM
munity effort in the thickly settled
districts. but the individual effort
counts for much. Stables kept clean
Is one preventive. A screened manure
pit is another. while probably the most
convenient methods is TO treat the
manure with borax. One pound of
borax will treat 16 bushels of manure.

ONCE

College Park, Aug. e.-What win
the 1915 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? VIII
Il be by increased acreage or BY in
creased production per acre? IN
doubtedly both would be ideal; but
both are hardly possible. The acreage
increase can hardly be more than 10
per cent because in those counties OF
The State where wheat is a main crop,
the acreage is at present almost
maximum. There are ten counties in
the State where wheat is secondary
crop, due 70 the other crops which
have proven more profitable; and we
find, considering all angles of the
situation, that a large increase in
acreage would be apt 10 disturb the
balance of other crops, and increased
acreage also brings with 1t the need
OF more labor, which at present Is
very scarce.
The route TO follow, then, is obvious,
Ia 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, blowing of stubble where
wheat is TO follow wheat is being de-
iayed, and each week OF delay means
so much increase in weed growth, so
much loss in moisture, and more work
eventually at seeding time with less
effective seed bed.
To OFFSET late blowing, all land for
wheat should be thoroughly disked as
soon as possible. Time spent in this
way is not wasted, for 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 a 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, a spring.
tooth harrow takes the place of the
disk; but whatever the implement
used on the stubble, the seed bed
! should be as deep as is possible to
make it, should be dragged or rolled
to make 1t 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
emit with a disk il not with plow, and
the corn land as soon as the crop car
be taken off.

Newspaper publishers are wonder
ing what Is to be the policy Of the
treasury department in connection
with floating the new liberty loan IS
sue. 70 advertise or not TO adver-
tise2 That Is the question. Secretary
McAdoo IS convinced OF the efficacy
Of advertising, but whether he is con
WINGED OF the wisdom OF paying for
advertising when has found he
could get millions OF dollars worth
of publicity for nothing is a question
only time will answer There viii be
more difficulty in floating the new is
sue than was experienced in selling
the first one. That seems 10 be a
fixed fact. Also ii seems unquestion-
ably unfair that every element enter
ing into the sale OF government bonds
should be paid for by the government
except that insures their sale-news-
paper advertising.
We wonder If the Congress realizes
that everybody is being paid for work
done in connection with the war; that
every commodity used in connection
with the war is paid for, from writing
paper 10 army blankets; that outide a
few rich men who have given part of
their time TO help the cause along
every hour OF labor in connection
with the war is paid for, from the gov
ernments own executive heads TO its
smallest clerks and including those
persons importan { and unimportant
who are doing any kind of work di-
rectly or indirectly connected with
the war and who are outside the gov
eminent employ except the news
papers. And we wonder If they agree
with us that it is perfectly reason
able that all persons who are paid
for their services and for such COM
modities as they have for sale should
be paid for them.

STILL sHRounED IN MYSTERY.

The Second street murder is still
shrouded in mystery. No sleuth has
yet found a clue to the murderer of
Mrs Lottie Brandon. and uncertain
ty and doubt envelop the whole
affair.
There are rumors and rumors of
rumors. There are theories advanced
and theories thought out by some
who are non-committal, but the most
cruel of all theories is that which
places the blame ON an old sweet
heart of the victim.
TO attempt to blacken the name of
the murdered woman, past the pale of
human defense. is a dastardly crime,
little short of the beastly crime com
mitted upon her, when her life and
that of her unborn babe were crushed
out by the wanton, wilful murderer
IL is bad enough to blacken the
name of a live woman, but to at
tempt TO tarnih the fair name of a
dead woman is too horrible.
Such n theory is not credited by
sensible people in Annapolis any
more than is the theory that some one
of our eolored race committed the
deed
We do not for moment entertain
the thought that there is in this com
munity any negro SO beastial as to
have murdered this woman, and this
theory is also cast to the winds by
our right-thinking people.
The crime is still shrouded in mys-
terry. and perhaps may ever be, and
the murderer may go his way as
other murderers have. but let US hope
that his sin will find him out, and that
justice may be melted out TO the guilty
one sooner or later
