Governor Wants Adamson Auto Bill
Killed.

Governor Harrington declares that
the fight against the Adamson auto
mobile bill in Congress must be won.
Maryland" said the Governor,
sis the only State in the Union that
properly maintains great road sys-
tenn and this fact is well recognized.
The automobile tax is spent exclu-
sively on the roads and every dollar
of it is needed. 1 am convinced that
majority of the members of the
Automobile Club of Maryland are
not in favor of the measure. / know
we have members of the club down
in my home county and they have
told me that they want the road
maintenance fund kept intact"
State Roads Chairman Frank H..
zouck has received copies of resolu-
tions adopted by the Boards of
County Commissioners in Baltimore,
Caroline and Montgomery counties,
all protesting against the passage OF
the Adamson bill which would give
District of Columbia automobiles
free use of Maryland roads. A letter
from Roads Engineer M. D. Knight
of Montgomery county, stated that in
the sections of that county bordering
on the District of Columbia fully so
per cent. of the cost of upkeep of
roads was due to the cars owned in
the District.
Congressman Coady went to
Washington last week to ascertain
just why, if it is true as now alleged,
the War Department is urging the
passage of the Adamson bill to de-
plete the Maryland road fund.

with the skin a considerable percent

MUCH WASTE IN GARDENING
Necessity May Force Americans to
Adopt Economical Fertilizing
Methods Used by BelgIans.

Shortage in the supply Of fertilizer
Is situation of great gravity that con-
fronts the amateur gardener whose pa
triotic spirit Is impelling him to till
city lots and suburban plots. City sta.
bles, which formerly supplied fertili-
ger to farms In the nelghborlng states,
have been turned into garages, with
the result that manures can be OBJ
tanned only In small quantities. IL at
all. To obtain the results to which
their labors and their enthusiasm en-
title them the back lot and suburban
gardeners must husband their re-
sources, abandon the wasteful Ameri-
can method Of enriching the soil and
TURF to the system that gave Belgium
pre-eminence in intensive farming, ac-
cording to the New York Herald.
The American method of placing taI.
tilizer is to spread it entirely over
plot or field. The Belgian method Is
to place the fertilizer only under the
spot where the plant Is to grow, vast.
ing none Of the valuable plantfood be-
tween rows or between plants. The
European gardener turns over the
earth, harrows or rakeS it and thep
digs a trench or series Of holes about
eight inches deep where he desires
to plant a row Of corn, peas or beans.
Into this trench he spreads the ferti-
lizer, covers the latter with an inch
Of earth and ON top Of this places the
seed, covering all with a deeper layer
of earth. When the seed terminates
the roots quickly reach the fertilizer
and the plant grows with great rapid
ity. Thus all the fertilizer is utilized
and none is wasted between the rows
where none is needed.
Intensive farming was forced on Bel
GUM through necessity. Necessity Of
the world is urging America to inten-
sive methods, and the cardinal prin-
ciple Of the system is the elimination
of waste.

CHAPTER XVI.
Puppets of Fate,

When Nan rode with De Spain into
Sleepy Cat that morning, Lefever had
already told their story to Jeffrles over
the telephone from Calabasas, and Mrs.
Jeffries had thrown open her house to
receive Nan. Weary from exposure,
confusion and hunger, Nan was only
too grateful for refuge.
On the evening of the second day De
Spain was invited to join the family at
supper. In the evening the Jeffrieses
went down town.
De Spain was talking with Nan in
the living room when the telephone bell
rang in the library.
De Spain took the call, and a mans
voice answered his salutation. The
speaker asked for Mr.. de Spain and
seemed particular to make sure Of his
identity.
'Thls," repeated De Spain more than
once, and somewhat testify, "is Henry
de Spain speaking"
''Pd like to have a little talk with
you, Mr.. de Spain"
"Who are your"
The vein of sharpness in the ques-
ton met with no deviation from the
slow, even tone OF the voice at the
other end of the wire. II am not in
position TO give you my name" came
the answer, Eat least, not over the
WIRE"
A vague impression suddenly crossed
De SPANS mind that somewhere he
had heard the voice before.

TILLING THE LAND

Washington, ID. c., Feb 1O.-(Spe.
cial.) Food, feed and fertility are
the foundation of safe farming, ac.
ccrding 10 the United States Depart
! mcnt of Agriculture. a circular sent
10 farmers, bankers and business men
in cotton territory by the chief of the
office of Extension Work in the
South says:"Let us feed the people,
feed the live stock and fed the soil.
When we have done these three
things, then raise such acreage in
money crops as we have the labor to
tend"
The circular points out that the
true value of cotaon to the farmer is
to great extent the amount of food
and fed that it will purchase. The
price of cotton has risen, it is true,
but so has the retail price of ali
other farm produce. "By growing all
cotton, says the author ,"and ex-
changing it for a living you are sim
ply swapping high-priced product
produced by your labor for high
priced product produced by the labor
of the other fellow. When you fol-
low safe farming, however, you pro-
ducc your own food and feed at cost
and sell your cotton for the otherfel-
lows dollar.'
Safe Farming.
Safe farming is defined in the cir
cular as including these items:
~ a home garden for every FAM
lily on the farm, from one-tenth to
one-iourth acre, well located, well
titled and tended as carefully as any
other crop on the farm, planted in
rotation to time the vegetable crops
so as to have continual supply fof
the family table as many days in the
year as possible. To this should be
added one-fourtl. or an acre of po-
tatocs, either Irish ofswect, or both.
70 be used as food for the family.
~ Enough corn on each farm to
last the family and the live stock for
one ycar, with little excess for
safety.
~ Sufficient oats and other small
grain to supplement thecprn as food
for one year with certainty. These
small grains conserve the Soil in win
