A Letter From France.

Mr.. Robert G. MacCartee former
Court Stenographer here, writes US
from France as follows:
Tues. Feb. 26th, 1918
The Prince Georges Enquirer:
Just few
lines to let you know that | have been
receiving the Enquirer" for the past
two weeks at my camp in France, the
latest being the issue Of Feb. 1st
which arrived yesterday. After the
mud; rain, snow, etc, of long day
it is pleasant to sit up awhile at night
and read the little items of what is
happening or what has happened "over
the seas and far away" among the
folks we left behind US. Even the ad
vertisements can be made interesting
reading matter when nothing else Is at
hand, am glad to see they are going
to level up the sidewalk between the
Enquirer" office and the curb of the
sidewalk; | have come to grief on it
often enough at night. The Legisla-
ture news is also welcome; even in the
midst of war-smitten country we still
keep track of politics at home.
Very truly yours.

The State, Lime Plant

THAT IN SOUTHERN MARYLAND PAYING
EXPENSES AND MAKING PROFIT.
One of the interesting reports which
have been distributed among the legis-
lators is that of the Agricultural Lime
Board. 1t is really marvellous from the
fact that it asks for no appropriation
and has had no deficit to be filled.
The report is really that of Superin.
tendent ]. H. Blandford, formerly of
the House from Prince George county
on the operation of the lime plant IN
Southern Maryland. For several ses-
sions there were bills providing that the
State appropriate money for plant by
which the large deposits of oyster shells
in Southern Maryland and on the East
ern Shore might be utilized for the i'm
provement of their lands by the farm
ers who were in a measure cut off from
buying the commercial fertilizer by
their remoteness from markets and the
high price of transportation. These
bills were always opposed by the lime
rock interests in Western Maryland
and they always failed, until the Band.
ford bill was passed in the session Of
1916.
This was confined to Southern Mary
| land because private interests had taker
| up the proposition on the Eastern
Shore This same oyster-shell lime IL
now being sold on the Eastern Shore
| it is reported, at price of 81 so tor
| upward, while the State Plant is selling
it across the bay at about third O.
tnat price.
Under the Blandford bill the State
appropriated total of SI2, 900. for thu
plant. expenses and all. The work sta t
ed in a very modest way in September
1916, by the rental of land the buildin,
of a few shacks and the installation o
a crusher.
At the end of the first fourteen
months this little plant had sold nearl,
1000 tons of ground lime to the farm
ers in Southern Maryland and fey
hundred 10 farmers on the Easter
Shore at an average price of about S2.4
per ton.
| In the little more than year of opel
alton the plant has sold up to Januar
more than s., 900 tons of ground linn
and shows a net profit OF more tina

How do You cut Your Potato Seed.

At present, especially among anna
| teur gardeners and farmers raising
| POTATOES on a small scale, there are al
most as many methods of cutting pc
tatoes for seed, backed by just as
| many ideas about it as there are grow
| ers of potatoes. Some have used peel
ings, especially last spring when the
| orice of potatoes was what we termed
"out of sight, and is this way thought
| they were economizing in having the
meat for the table use. Others have
held to the notion that an eye is al
eye, which is all very true, and that re
CARELESS of whether it was accompain
| ed by some of the meat, it would grow
and produce, which is also true But
it will not produce as well as good
strong sprout, and good strong sprou S
rarely come from eyes which are not
left, after cutting, with from one to
one and one-half ounces of meat to
them.
There has been a difference Of opin-
ion too, in whether to cut close TO the
eve or leave the eye in the center of
the seed piece.
Cutting the seed pieces seems at
present to be the most timely, the re-
suits of the experiments bearing on
this phase follows:
Eyes on the stem half of the tuber'
if their connection with the terminal
eyes is served, are capable of produc-
ing vigorous sprouts, and when all
variables in seed preparation are ellml
mated, they are just as valuable for
seed as the eyes in the terminal or
seed half of the tuber.
The vigor of the sprout depends upon
the size of the seed piece, or in other
words, upon the amount of tissue sur
rounding the growing bud. a weak
sprout produces correspondingiy
weak plant and small yield of tubers.
1t does not seem wise under any con
ditions, to reduce the size of the seed
pieces below LIS ounces.
Ordinary Feelings produce such weak
plants aad poor stands that the result
ing crop would not even pay for the
use of the ground.
The number of eyes on tuber or
fraction thereof, as a rule, bears nc
direct relation to the number of stalks
that will appear when the seed is plant
ed.
The pieces should be as compact and
as near uniform in size as possible.
One eve or even half of an eye to a
piece will usually suffice if the piece is
of suitable size.
Buds near a cut surface will produce
sprouts more quickly than those in the
| middle of the piece. Sprouts near cut
surface will also grow more rapidly.
| Cutting the tuber from side to side as
much as possible will bring the most
| ewes near cut surface.
| Short vigorous sprouts should not be
| rubbed off before planting but no care
| need be taken to save long sprouts as
| they are usually dead at the tips unless
| the tubers have been ''sun sprouted'
or sprouted in the dark under very
| favorable conditions.
