Dog Law Is Explained.

Within the past few days the State Law
Department has received so many letter;
asking questions concerning the Dog Law
passed by the last Legislature that Tues
day Acting Acknowledgement ogle Mar
bury issued statement explaining that
the law is applicable to every county in
the State and provides the only license fee
required for the ownership of dogs.
Baltimore city is expressly exempted
from the provisions of the law, which re-
peals all county or local dog laws in con-
flct Herewith.
Mr.. Marbury's statement on the subject
follows:
I'VE have been receiving numerous re-
quests for information from the authori-
ties of towns and cities throughout the
State on the operation of the Statewide
dog law as enacted by Chapter 497 of the
acts of 1918. Almost all of these towns
and cities have had their local ordinances
whereby dogs are taxed, and there seems
to exist general uncertainty as to whether
these ordinances are still in force or whether
they are superseded by the general law,
There have been for a number of years
provisions in the code relating to the taxa
ton of dogs. These provisions were con-
tanned in Article 81, Sections 1876 to 20l.
both inclusive. The last-named section
exempted number Of counties and Bal
timore city and also exempted all cities,
towns or boroughs in which dogs we're
taxed by municipal ordinance.
THE Act of 1918 repealed and re-enacted
these sections of the code and in Section
1876. which provides license and fixes the
amount there is a provision that the license
or fee required shall be the only license
or tax required for the ownership or keep
Of said dog or dogs. 1t is provided that
nothing in the act shall apply to the city
Of Baltimore and that all laws or parts of
laws, whether Public General Laws or Pub
lie Local Laws, inconsistent with the pro-
visions of this act are hereby repealed to
the extent of such inconsistency.
! Ahio "Ouho thdt ONCiyWuOtC III tiC
State, except in Baltimore city, the State
wide Dog Law imposes the only tax upon
dogs, and all ordinances or laws passed
by cities or towns within the State under
the provisions Of their charters are void
because their charters are inconsistent
with the provisions Of the Acts of 1918 in
this respect and to the extent Of such in
consistency are repealed.
This is true of every town or city in
the State unless there has been charter
or amendment to the charter approved by
the Governor since Chapter 497. of the
Acts of 1918, was approved, and unless
such charter or amendment specifically
gives to such town the right to tax dogs.
! know of no such charter or amendment,
but some towns may have had one granted
at the 1918 Session, and it Is practically
impossible to 90 over all the Acts of 1918
before the printed volume is issued.
with this single possible exception, the
Statewide Dog Law is the only dog law
in force in the counties of the State i'm
posing tax, and all ordinances or local
laws imposing such tax are repealed"

Maryland's $25 900 Win The War-Prod.
uct Contest has been turned over to the
Extension Service of the State College, and
the agricultural agents will have charge of
the work in their respective counties. 1t
is exceedingly unfortunate that this change
should be made so late in the season, as
the garden work in the contest will be
seriously affected. County Agent Van Hoe
sen hopes to get the matter in hand so as
to make more definite announcements next
week. All farmers having good prospects
for good yield of wheat, corn or soy beans
should enter the contest at once. Enroll
ment cards can be had from the Farm
Demonstration office, Rockville, Md.

serving as Assistant State Agent in home

been appointed District Agent in home
economics, in charge of the work in Mont

sister, Miss Helen Erickson will be glad to
know that her services are still available

ton.

tural Club Work in the Southern States,
just issued by the Department of Agricul-
ture, uses for four of its ten Illustrations
photographs taken of club work in Mont
gomery county. This will help the Mont
gomery county boys to realize that they
are part of the army of $4,000 farm
boys in the fifteen Southern States who
are fighting the Kaiser as surely as are
their brothers in France.
Committees from the Senior Farmers
Club. the Enterprise Farmers Club, the
Montgomery Farmers Club and the Olney
Grange have been working for some time
to determine the cost per acre and the
cost per bushel Of growing the 1918 wheat
crops. The work covers approximately 100
farms in the eastern part Of the county,
and the figures are based on the actual
operations as they are conducted in that
section. Monday night joint meeting of
the several committees was held and the
averages worked out and tabulated. These
figures will be sent to the proper commit
tee in Congress, to Mr.. Hoover, and to
President Wilson. The figures relate to
the growing of fallow wheat. and are based
on a 20-bushel yield. which is fair aver
age for the territory covered.
