Singing Taught In Army Camps.

Singing Taught In Army Camps.
The deadly baton may yet prove
mightier than the pen or sword as a
warlike implement Musical direc-
tors at the U. S. Marine Corps train
ing camp here are now welding the
stick made famous by Sousa when he
was leader of the Marine Band.
From the Halls of Montezuma'
and the well-known ballads of the
sea soldiers are sung as a part OF the
daily routine, while the new bath of
var songs are tried out and added to
the list or discarded according to the
fancy of the singers.
1--WE allow our men to make their
own choice of SONGS" said a Marine
Corps officer. "Our main object is
to create a singing army splendid
idea that has been put in practice by
all the allied forces, and one that
tends to keep the morale of the men
at the top notch of fighting etici-
ency."
Recently a detachment of Marines
landed at French port, singing
Hail, hail, the gangs all here"
Their singing was greeted with rous-
ing cheers by our allies.

THIS is SEED CORN TESTING
WEEK FOR MARYLAND.
March nth to 10th Set Aside For
This Important Work.

March 18th to 10Th Set Aside For
This Important Work.
A Statewide Seed Corn Testing
Week has been inaugurated by the
Extension Service of the State Col
lege of Agriculture, during which
time, March 11-16, the Extension
Specialists and others of the State
College and the County Agents will
devote their entire time to explain
ing methods of testing and the value
of the test, also it's Importance this
year when seed corn is not only
-carce but in such condition that
unless tested will result in much
damage to the 1918 crop.
The slogan of the week will be-
"Know Thy Ear"-and to properly
carry out the precepts of this slogan,
the termination test is the only
resort known.
Maryland is somewhat more for
tunate this year than may other
States in regard to available seed,
hut withal, the situation is serious
and in need of immediate attention.
The time designated for the work
is one in which much of other farm
work cannot be handily or con-
veniently done. and the time put to
seed testing work will be we'll spent.
When we realize that ten cars
will plant an acre, and that but one
had one is needed to curtall the
rtand and the crop by ten per cent.
the value of the time spent in test
ing is great. One hundred ears, or
enough for the planting of ten ceres
can be placed in the test in at least
one hour. If ten bad ears are caught
in this way, with the possibilities for
50-bushel yield next year, the
hours work has been worth so
bushels of corn. It is simple cal
culation to estimate the value of
such an hour.
We hope all our farmers will OBJ
serve the methods suggested in order
hat they will not be losing an OPP
portunity for increasing profits. At
the same time it will be actiy ely
demonstrating fine brand of
patriotism.

ported the cleaning-up of the
lown Friday, May IL. They
found the residential parts of
town comparatively clean, some
parts not needing any cleaning
at all. However, the business
parts can't lay claim to that
distinction. 1t is our places of
business and their general up
keep and cleanliness that stamp
our town as worth while to
new conner. What does the
white stripes of our flag stand
for? Is it not purity? Can we
be pnre without being clean?
Are not our boys fighting for
purity? Back them up at home.
Keep your homes, premises and
business places clean, and you
yourself will be cleaner in spirit
and on the way to Goodness.
Why not resolve that you will
make it impossible for the ladies
of your town to do your clean
ing up next year! For our

teams donated, we are very
grateful.
