Today is Arbcr Day.

Today Governor Harrington has
chosen as the occasion when pubic
schools and citizens may cooperate and
bend their several energies toward max
mo more attractive the attractive sec
rions of the State, and bringing beauty
ont OF ugliness in such places as the
benefits of judcious planting and ade-
ouate tree growth have heretofore
passed by. 1t is an anniversary OF
MANY such days that have gone before,
an opportunity Of building and creating
for the DAYS to come. 1t is believed
that this is recognized, or will be.
A recent fire prevention sign of the
Narvlakd Beard Of Forestry contains
TINS sentence: Keep IN mind that tbs
nresent vast industrial growth OF both
vonr State ana Country is constantly
reauirlng more wood" If the pant
mo of Arbor Day is helping toward this
and or if it consists in attempts which
gradually subside and lose IN enthu-
siism until the efforts of the moment
are in time completely forgotten, this
at least may be accomplished; that the
raouirements of the State and the
benefits of meeting them by some such
means may be made open and PLAIN to
the Younger people of the schools,
through them to the rest; and that by
instruction and understanding the seeds
he sown of much constructive work.
The latest year book of the Teach
ers of Mary land contains good live
nrogramme prepared particularly fol
the practical observance of this day
The Board of Forestry stands ready or
any other day to show way of max
ing these recommendations count Or
April 18th plant tree if you can
At least make certain of some way il
which on days following the lessons o
this anniversary of trees may be alb
sorbed and passed along for the great

To Get The Most From The Soil

The call to the patriotism Of the
Maryland farmer to wage an intelligent
campaign for the raising Of food
animals and fruit was sent out recently
through the county agents all over the
State by Prof. Thomas B, Symons,
director of the extension service of the
Maryland State College and United
States Department of Agriculture.
The letter sets forth that owing t.
the probability OF war, preparedness on
the part of the Maryland farmer TO
meet the demand for food becomes
vitality essential and declares there l.
no more potent or emphatic way III
which he can show his patriotism than
by entering into an intelligent campaign
for adequte production.
1t is pointed out that while tn sys

diversified, there are many sections It

So she did not tell Lois Of Gloria
presence, and Lois went away in u
turmoil of anxiety as great as that in
Gloria's mind when she heard Lois
ask about poor Mr.. Freneau." A
knife Of jealousy went into Gloria's
heart and a hideous intuition that her
beloved Dick might have bewitched
Lois as he had bewitched herself.
Those eyes of his had been perhaps a
little too winning.
She rebuked herself for allowing
the suspicion even to fit through her
brain and began her note to Mulry.
Her eye fell on the letterhead. The
branch offices of the brokerage firm
were listed in an upper corner: Al
bany, Buffalo, Cleveland, Detroit, Chi
cago, st. Louis, Pittsburgh. A new
suspicion stabbed Gloria. The tele-
grams and letters in Dicks writing
had been sent from just those cities
in Just that order Yet he had been
dead when they were sent.
The earliest explanation was the
trVe one. and Gloria guessed 1t imme-
diately. He could have sent them to
the branch Offices in advance to be
sent to her in order or he could have
intrusted them to someone travelling
the round of Offices. Her intuition
hit ON the truth, without knowing 1t.
The very ease of the trick disguised
her. She felt herself in the shadow
Of some hateful conspiracy. She be.
gan to doubt her own memory as to
the letters and kilograms.

and thrusting it into her handbag. she

THE DIFFERENCE

T. i LII C4SIANSG
TT is NOT OFTEN that concrete
/ instances are at hand by which
fair comparison can be made
between the f. o. b. and the con-
signment method of marketing
farm products. While there are
few who will attempt to argue
that the farmer stands a chance
of better prices by consigning
them than by selling f. o. b., it
too often happens that the farm
er drives home in the evening
feeling that he might have done
better that day had he consigned
his load of produce rather than
to have sold it at a stated price
on board cars here.
It is this feeling of "what
might have been" that proves a
big stumbling block to successful
cooperative marketing. One
day last spring during the straw
berry season the members of the
Kennewick -Richland Marketing
Union were given an opportunity
to know what they might have
received by consigning the ber-
ries which they sold for $500 a
crate here.
/ The Union had an order from
a Montana firm for IS crates at
$500 per crate. Thru an error
of the shipping clerk Is crates
were sent. The buying firm call
ed attention to the error and said
they would take the additional
10 crates on'consignment and re-
NIT the selling price less their
usual commission. In due course
Of time the Union received a
check from the Montana house
for $2O2.51 to settle the account
as follows: $195 for IS crates at
$500 a crate and $751; for the
ten crates handled on consign-
ment.
This instance tends to show
the difference in the farmers
pay check when he sets the price
and when he let's the other fell
low set the price.
The only way the farmer can
set the price is by means of CO.
operation. If he is willing to
work with his neighbOr and to
stand by his organization thru
thick and thin the uncertainties
and Disappointment of consign-
ments can be effectually elimin-
ated. If he prefers to go it as an
independent, and if each of his
neighbors should be so minded,
the $751; checks will continue to
come.
