A Large Barn Destroyed BY wind.

A rain and wind storm. the worst that
has ever visited MONT omery county, played
havoc with crops and buildings Monday
afternoon. At Pleasant Fields Farm, owned
by Mr.. Charles C. Waters. at Germantown.
large barn was destroyed and neighbOr-
ing farmers suffered great loss by having
their wheat fields leveled. The barn which
was demolished on the Waters farm was
literally lifted from the foundation by the
wind. which had taken on the fury Of a
Kansas cyclone. and sections of the roof
and sides hurtled through the air, landing
in places fully three hundred yards from
where the barn stood. The demolished
building was huge structure. substan-
TALLY built. That 1t should have been
completely destroyed. and tossed like
puppet before the wind, attests to the fury
of the elements which swept over the CEN
trail section Of the county. Ii is an odd
coincident that nine years ago. almost to
a day, large barn standing on the site OF
the one destroyed Monday was burned to
the ground during severe electrical Storm
The path Of the twister. for a genuine
whirlwind it was that swept over the
Waters farm. is marked by fallen trees.
some Of which were twisted off within a
few feet Of the ground. and others from
which the tops had been torn. That no
one was hurt is miracle. for shortly before
the barn was destroyed a number Of farm
hands had left 1t to seek shelter in nearby
carriage house. One Of the men crossing
the yard. when the barn crashed TO the
ground. narrowly missed death when a
section of the roof hurtled through the air.

will start the erection of new model barn

sorry to state, as member Of the Public
Service Commission and has retired perma-
nentiy to private life. His resignation has
been in the hands Of Governor Harrington
Tor several weeks, rendered because of his
impaired health, but the Governor has been
loath to accept 1t, hoping that Mr.. Laird
would fully recover his strength and would
be able to continue to perform his usual
duties. Convinced. however, that he can
not give his work the conscientious per-
Torrance. which has marked his activities
all his life. Mr.. Laird has asked an imme-

These attacks can all be met and con-

MANAGEMENT, according to W. H. Manss.
Of the commercial development depart
ment of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.
Mr.. Manss further suggests that the peo-
pie in the towns along the entire system
organize local spraying services. In many
cases this has been acted upon by small
community groups or by the Chambers Of
Commerce, who have purchased spraying
outfits for the use Of the community. Such
an equipment is described as the "one-
man OUTFIT" which Is capable Of doing
three times as much work as two men can
do by hand-pump, has no complicated
machinery, and Is as simple to operate as
any hand sprayer. This equipment is in
tended to meet the demand for use on a
light weight wagon for general field pur-
poses. This scheme brings the cost Of
spraying down to a minimum per acre for
the people In community.
The commercial development department
has listed, for the benefit of those who de-
sire the information. the manufactures Of
spraying equipment covering everything
from small hand sprayer to the larger
type Of barrel sprayer or those mounted
on wagons. also the manufacturers of all
kinds Of spraying solutions. This informa-
ton will be supplied upon request directed
to the commercial development depart
ment.

Wheat Threshing, Baling And saw
Ing Prices All Increased.

AT meeting of the Threshermen and
Farmers Protective Association on June
~. Mr.. A. C. Brown. of GAINESVILLE, told
the story Of his threshing experience. He
started forty-four years ago with a horse
power machine that cost about $500, and
threshed the whole season at four cents a
bushel. In few years he got a steam
outfit. which cost something like $110O,
and the farmer moved it. The farmer
kicked like a steer if he had any distance
to 90. but at the same time he paid 6 cents
a bushel for threshins wheat and had 1t
all to measure and the strawrick to build
in addition. Later he got traction en-
CINE and moved everything, but others also
bought threshers and began to cut prices,
until at last some got as low as cents,
put up the straw with blower. and drop
ped the wheat in a sack, with only one
man to look after it. To thresh from the
field used to require about twenty men,
while now 500 bushels can be hulled out
in day with ten or twelve, and yet the
farmer pays less for the most important
part Of the work.
Further discussion developed the fact that
new outfit which cost $500 two years ago
now is sold for $500. and the repair lists
of all machine companies have been ad-
vanced 80 per cent. Betting which sold
at Is cents is now 40 cents. The WAGES
of the men to run the machine have been
more than doubled. and still the owner has
to be on hand in time to fire up his engine
because there is no certainty of his man
being there.
Figuring on the average run of $4,000
bushels for the county at 1-2 cents, the
threshermans income would be $4,000.
Against this stands $4,000 for deprecia-
ton of machinery. $50. 90 interest. $780,
90 for labor. and about $4,000 for oil and
incidentals. a total of $650.00, leaving
$4,000 for the owner for looking up hands.
keeping things In condition, and the fun
of seeing the wheels 60 round and the dust
fly.
On motion, it was resolved that the
members Of the Thresherman and Farmers
Protective Association shall charge mini
mum price Of four cents per bushel for
but that members may charge
more than four cents If conditions warrant
the advance.
Resolved. That the minimum price of
baline straw from the thresher shall be
SITS. Baling hay and straw from the rick
or NOW being done under so many condi-
tons, no price could be fixed for the work.
Resolved. That the minimum price Of
saving with portable mill shall be so
cents per hundred board feet.

All Loafers VIII Be Forced To Work
Baltimore News Of Saturday.

Baltimore News Of Saturday.
Governor Harrington said today that he
was considering issuing at an early date a
proclamation putting into effect the COM
pulsory work law passed by the special
session of the Legislature as war measure,
When the bill was passed the belief ex-
pressed in the General Assembly was that
1t would be put into effect only in the
event Of extreme necessity and probably
not this year. but today the Governor said
he had already been asked by quite num-
Der Of persons to put it into effect at once.
One Of those urging that the law be made
effective Immediately is Mayor Nichols Of
Easton. who informed the Governor that he
had found many unemployed young able
bodied c0lored men in the town whose
principal occupation is playing pool The
same condition is reported to prevail in
Annapolis and other towns where there is
a large negro population. In Annapolis
most Of these idle negroes are supported
by their wives.
The law can only become effective through
the proclamation Of the Governor. but un-
der it he can require the registration Of all
unemployed males between the ages of 18
and so years and put them to work for
the State or for private individuals. How
ever, II they secure employment other than
that obtained for them by the State they
can take the new employment without
violating the law.
The theory Of the act. which was framed
by Attorney General Albert C. Richie. Is
that in time Of public danger everyone
may be compelled to take part in public
defense and contribute to the maintenance
of the army and the preservation Of the
nation. Those who are capable Of bearing
arms may be sent to war. while those who
are not can be set to other tasks, takint
the places Of those who are doing the
fighting.
There are in this State. ii Is asserted
plenty of men to do all the necessary work
II everyone will only do his share. This
the compulsory work bill requires them to
do. When the Governor issues his procla-
nation there will be a shaking Of dry bones.

Important Work OF The b. & o.
Railroad In The COnser-
walton OF Food.

There is a possibility Of using many
carloads Of culs and fallen apples for the
manufacture of cider vinegar from which
acetone is extracted and which is used in
the manufacture Of high explosives, ac-
cording to W. II. Manss. of the CONNER
cial development department Of the Balti-
more and Ohio Railpoad.
1t seemed that this would be a happy
utilization OF an otherwise wasted product
and in strict conformity with the now
famous slogan. "let nothing spoil" The
matter was taken up with the chemist in
charge Of the fruit and vegetable utiliza-
ton laboratory and it was found that there
are far cheaper sources Of acetone than
the sugars Of apples. At present one OF
the principal raw materials for the manu-
facture OF acetOne is black strap molasses.
and even the availability Of large quanti-
ties Of culled apples. which could be Sc
cured at low figure. would not make this
plan feasible.
Investigation is being made. however,
along other lines that will still make il
possible to 'let nothing spoil" and utilize

mother, Sarah M. Hull, who passed into
eternal rest June 81. 1918.
Your soul took flight, dear mother, two
years ago today,
But neither time nor tears have served
to wash our grief away:
The memory Of your sweetness fingers still
In all the things we do. In all the things
we will.
Our hearts were crushed. our lives were
blighted,
The day our mother died.
How sad our home is without her.
Words can never describe.
She passed away like a summers breeze,
Without parting sigh,
She faded like beautiful star,
To dwell with Christ on high.
By HER HUSBAND AND CHILDREN.
