Can Still Raise Crops.
Agricultural Agent Kinzy Is
sues Warning to Farmers
Whose Wheat Was Damaged.

Grover Kinzy, Federal and State sgri-
cultural agent for Carroll county, has is
sued warning to. farmers whose wheat
crops were damaged by the storms of
last week. Mr.. Kinzy said the best
growing time of the year will come be-
fore the first frost.
Farmers are to be warned against
blowing under heavy coats of wheat and
grass this late in the season." said Mr..
Kinzy, without first disking, so as to
get this layer of straw mixed with soil.
The dsking will prevent the straw from
forming layer at the bottom of the fur
row which would shut off moisture from
beneath. The plowed soil alone is not
sufficient to produce heavy crop even il
rains are frequent. The straw turned
under will not rot this season.
Turning under heavy coating of
straw or manure late in the season is
something every student of soil knows
to be bad. The crimson clover growers
of the Eastern Shore have learned this
lesson from experience. The time re-
quired to disk before blowing IS not suf-
ficient reason for not doing it.
1.-THE averagekilling frost for this Sec
ton is November 4, which leaves 1875
days of the best growing season of the
year. The larger varieties Of corn will
mature in 100 days and most varieties
in 12O days. Sugar corn is ready for the
Gamer in from so to los days. Soy bean
seeds can be produced in 120 days. Soy
bean hay is ready In ll2 days. Potatoes
are best in this section when planted on
June 20. Crops planted on land we'll
disked before it is plowed, and after, if
necessary, to secure firm feed bed, will
produce real crops even though it is
dry summer. Some farmers are raking
wheat fields. which is cord thing to do
if enough hay can be,get to make it pay.
The whole Pacific Coast knows no other
than wheat hay. Wheat, however, left
on the ground will not smother out the
clover"

Bowel Complaints in India.

In lecture at one of the Des Moines,
Iowa, churches missionary from India
told of going into the interior of India,
where he was taken sick, that he had a
bottle of Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy with him and be-
lieved that it saved his life. This remedy
is used successfully in India both as a
preventive and cure for cholera. You
may know from this that it can be de-
pended upon for the mlder forms of bowel
complaint that occur in this country.
Obtainable everywhere.

Trouble.

Trouble.
Early Monday morning last business
took boom in Justice Cadow's court
room. A little old Rambler" automo-
bile came rolling up behind deputy sheriff
Lidie's wagon and stopped in front OF
the courtroom. 1t became the centre of
attraction for some time, the crowd final
w going to hear what was doing in the
courtroom.
Here, young fellow, John Deibold
from somewhere at the top of the noun
tains, and one of Arnold Wilhide's sons,
Donald, were found facing the magistrate
on the charge of running car without
license.
1t appears that two of the Wilhide
boys owned, or at least had bicycles.
They saw this ancient little rambler, fell
in love with it. and offered young Del
bold the machines for the car. A bar
gain wac made, machines exchanged and
Deibold and one Of the other boys run
the Rambler to the nome CT the boys.
This happened Sunday
Monday morning Pap saw the car.
Wouldn't let it ramble on his place.
Went and reported Debold for running
without license. TIE deputy got busy,
rambieG up the mountain replevined the
wheels and gathered in the boys.
After hearing the case Justice Cadow
put $1,000 and costs on, Deibold. The
latter went med, told Cadow to take the
d. old car. This got the Justices mind
rambling quickly, and for fear of having
a car on his hands he relented after one
of the Wilhide boys agreed to help Del
bold out by paying SIS. 90 Of the fire. he
told Deibold he would leave him off with
$500 and costs. Deibold paid and wac
released.
The RAMBLER" is housed in the Thur
mont Garage, Deibold wondering how to
get it home without license. Likely it
will have mule power UP the bill.

QUALIFIED TO LEAD
PRESIDENT WILSON'S GREAT
ABILITY is RECOGNIZED.
Largely Through Its Exercise His
Party Has Been Able to Put For
ward a Magnificent Series of
Constructive Reforms.

The biggest fact in the public eye
of America today is the leadership Of
Woodrow Wilson. No other president
ever rivaled him in the ability to Sc
cure congressional support, and this in
spite of the fact that ne is the head
of a peculiarly individualistic party,
and that his leadership has been put
to more terrific tests than those faced
by all previous presidents of the last
80 years.
Foreign relations have beer perplex-
ing and disturbing to a degree, and
seditiOus and partisan cabals have
been formed in congress to embarrass
the president or compel him to submit
to violations of American rights. They
ha'e embarrassed him but every time
the matter has come to a test, Presi-
dent Wilson has had the support of an
emphatic majority.
This eminence in leadership is ore
of the rarest as well as one of the
o precious qualities that a states
man can possess. President Taft
lacked it; he could hold the allegiance
of only a small fraction of his party.
Mr.. Hughes as governor lacked it alto
gether; his stay at Albany was one
long fractional wrangle. President Will
son has it.
Wilson's leadership is responsible
for the most magnificent series of con-
structive reforms ever put through in
his country. Wilson's leadership is
all that has kept the land peaceful
and prosperous when half the world is
in flames. Wilson's leadership will be
priceless in the troubled days of in
ternational reconstruction which lie
ahead.

Patriotism"

A British firm underbid the steel
trust on armor-piercing shells for our
navy, and got the contract, as it
should. Immediately a Republican
congressman rushes before the house
with a resolution stating that 'patri-
Otism requires hat supplies for the
army and navy should be man
ufactured in the United States by
American w%orkingmen receiving Ameri.
a wages"
Evidently this Republican congress
man never heard what the steel trust
did to american wages while it had
a chance, nor read its advertisements
for laborers: "Syrians, Roumanians
and Poles preferred" One can be a
better protectionist if he never hears
or knows anything, and it is surpris-
ing how many achieve merit in this
fashion.

Perkins Describes His own Work.

If the undertaking and undefiled
Progressives of this country are pay
ing any attention to George w. Per-
kins these days. we think it must be
to laugh.
He and the Colonel delivered as
much of the Progressive party as they
could to the Republicans without ask
ing terms. The Progressive party would
have disappeared from national poll
tics if they had had their way. They
played squarely into the hands of the
Crane and Penrose crowd and took the
beating in November that was the log
ical consequence of the unnatural al
lance they formed.
But now ome Perkins, approved
by Roosevelt, and cries out against old
guard domination in Republican poll
tics, when, had his plans of last sum-
mer succeeded, he would have turned
not only the party but the whole coun-
try over to the men who now excite
him only to holy wrath.
One wonders whether, if the Repub-
licans had won the election, Perkins
would now be supporting Hughes or
calling aloud for his destruction. 81

1t did, indeed, seem a long time
coming. AS far back as 1869, speaking
primarily for the soldiers of the Con-
~federacy, l had proposed that the three
war amendments to the Constitution
be accepted and ratified as the treaty
of peace between the North and the
South. There followed a pretty wran-
gle. Maryland especially those who
had not been actually in the war-were
unable to see or unwilling to admit
that the head of the South was in the
lions mouth. and that, unless and until
it could be extracted, nothing was very
much worth while.
Sectionalism fiourished apace on
either side of party. lines. The Confed-
crate brigadiers made a kind of common
cause with the valiants of the bloody
shirt, both out, as it were, for gate
