Lime and Fertilizer au heat

With the exception of barley,
wheat suffers more from sour lands
than any of our common cereals. 1t
is especially important to test all
land to be seeded to wheat and ap-
ply lime if sour, because you not on
ly get a larger yield of grain, but
timothy and clover are usually
seeded in wheat, and one or both
may fail on sour soils.
The Ohio experiments show that
lime does not take the place of fer
tilizer or manure, but it supple
ments them. The experiments fur
ther show very strikingly that when
lime and fertilizers are used on the
same land the yield of crops is grea-
ter than the sum of the yields from
the two used separately. However,
if lime is used alone and no provi-
sion is made for maintaining the
supply of organic matter and plant
food in the soil the crop yields can
not be maintained, and the yields
from the use of lime in such sys-
tenn fall off rapidly and may finally
drop below that of unlimed land.
Manures, both green and stock ma
nure, and fertilizers, should be used
with lime Lime is best applied
with a lime and fertilizer distribu-
tor just after the land is plowed.

FEED The BIRDS; HELP
. Them SAVE The CROP
These Little Destroyers of Harmful
Insects May be in Sore Straits
This Winter.

With all this talk about saving
food, has it ever occurred to you
that you would have actually much
less to save if it were not for the
birds?
If the birds had not been tremen
dously busy all spring. summer and
autumn, destroying insects which
feed upon all vegetable matter, there
would probably be greater scarcity
of food now than we would be like
ly to experience, even under the
most rigid war restrictions.
If you think this is a wild state
ment, remember that no less an au-
thority than the United States De-
partment of Agriculture has esti-
mated that insects in a single year
cost the farmers of the nation about
$1,20O,000. And then remember
that birds are by far the most effici-
ent OF all the natural agents in de-
stroying insect pests.
1t is winter now, and many of the
birds who do not migrate are de-
prived of most Of their natural sour
ces of food supply. And so the birds
are often hungry; indeed, many of
them will starve to death if the Win
lSl ID anu lLII SllON llSS uSSp.
So, what are you going to do about
it? Why, feed them. What else
could you do, unless you are entire
ly ungrateful?
incidentally, feeding the birds will
give you the best kind of an oppor-
tunity to become acquainted with
these winter species. Perhaps the
most characteristic of these is the
oh In1- T,,I1 &c i1,f
mite tenderness and fidelity" "as John
Burroughs says. The chickadee is
the feathered small boy of the
woods. Then there are the. nuthat
ches-white breasted and red breast
ed, of which the former is the more
common-blue, gray and white tree
climbing birds. Juncos, too, are
common winter birds. They may be
identified by their late-colored pIu-
mage and the two white feathers
which show conspicuously in their
tails when they fly.
The golden-crowned and ruby
crowned kinglets, the smallest of all
the birds except the hummers, will
remain all winter. Then there are
the tree-climbers, like the brown
creepers and the hairy and downy
woodpeckers; also the tree sparrows
and white-throated sparrows, and, of
course, the robins and the sassy"
bluejays and the crows. In the
woods are the partridges; and in the
fields where there is brush or other
cover are the bob whites, who often
come into your orchard, or even into
your very yard, if they discover your
hospitality.
All these birds will become your
boarders in time of need if you will
establish feeding stations. Peoples

Communication
Wingate. Md, Feb. II.
MI. Editor:

Mr. Editor:
Dear Sir.-Kindly allow space in
your paper for the circulating of my
views regarding some changes of the
present oyster laws for this season
only. | think it would be beneficial
to ali the oystermen of this county,
especially at this time, and L would
suggest that the dredging season be
heightened to April 1st, as this has
been the shortest season for the oys-
termen that l have ever known;
scarcely have any worked more than
thirty days in all, and then, to make
that many days, the dredger has had
10 have no mishaps of any kind with
patent winders or with his crew; al
so it would give time to scrape the
bottom some and wash the shells,
which is needed after long freeze,
to remove the mud that settles on
shells after the top of the surface
has been closed by ice for a long
time like it has this winter.
Another good plan would be to
allow the oystermen to work in that
portion of the Potomac river which
has been closed each year until Jan.
lst, and then when opened, only for
the purpose of catching oysters for
planting purposes; allow the tongers
to sell them this season for any pur-
pose, and enforce the Gull law. AS
heretofore, l am informed, many
boat loads of these oysters found
their way to our markets, and were
used for food, so why not allow all
of them to be sold for food, and ex-
tend the time for catching same to
May 10th? Surely we could arrange
with the Virginia authorities at this
time, as they have endured the same
kind of winter that We have.
do not know of any better rene
dy or better help that could be given
our people who depend on catching
and marketing oysters for living
than the one proposed, as l know
they have had the worst year, and
made the least money, this oyster
season, than any season | have ever
known. Some may object because
the crab season comes so close to
the oyster season, if the time to
catch oysters is extended, but if all
signs do not fail, your crab season
will not start up this year until
about June 18th. Nearly all crabs
will be found dead after this hard
freeze, and we shall have to wait
for the young ones to grow, and
then it will take many good, old,
warm Southern winds to bring them
up the Chesapeake to our grabbing
bars.
My only interest in suggesting
this is that some means of helping
our people in the oyster sections
may be found, and l know no better
way than using your paper;all of our
oystermen read it, and they may also
agitate some such views, until some
influence may be secured to help
them at this time.

Secret Testimony of Admiral Pal

der Our Flag.

Washing on, FEB. S.-Testimony
given by Rear Admiral Leigh Pal
mer, Chief OF Navigation. in eXecu-
tive session before the House Com
mittee on Naval Affairs, was made
public tonight IN connection with a
speech which Representative Fred
c. Hicks delivered in the House yes
terday. The statements Of Admiral
Palmer were printed in the Congress
sional Record todal under leave to
print.
Mr.. Hicks said he had received
the permission of Secretary Daniels

that merchantmen are badly mann

from submarine attacks.
In the course OF his speech, Mr..
Hicks, who is fighting 10 give the

ships, quoted a statement made by
Andrew Furuseth. President of the
International Seamen's Union of
America. The latter said:
"AccCrding to census which we
have taken, there are about 5000
Germans sailing under the American
flag in different capacities. 1t may
be said that they are among the
highest skilled men, whether they
sail in the forecastle or in the galley.
Of these men, about 3,721 are in the
organizations of seamen.'
Commenting upon this statement,
Mr.. Hicks said:
For the sake of argument, let us
assume that 95 per cent. of the Ger
mans on our merchant vessels are
friends to the United States, or at
least Indifferent to their native coun-
try, whit about the other S per cent.

Wilson Henry Dukes

A sad death occurred last Monday
morning at the. home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Fred w. Dukes, near Oak
Grove, when their fourteen-year-old
son, Wilson Henry Dukes, died from
an abscess in the head. About a
year ago the little fellow was shot
by an older brother with a rifle, the
ball entering his eye. He was rush
ed to Cambridge Hospital, where, ,af-
ter lowering between life and death
for some time, he finally got better
and was able to leave the hospital.
He continued to improve until about
a week ago, when in snowballing
contest at Wright's school, he was
accidentally struck in his injured
eye, with SNOWFALL. This, with
the injury that had already been
done to his eye, caused an abscess
in his head, which resulted in his

composed by Corp. Charles V. Bran
mock, Company c, 115th Regiment,
Camp Mcclellan, Admission, Ala:
In the hills of Alabama
You will find a tented town,
Where the Soldier boys are training
To knock the Kaiser down.
We do not like the climate,
It's the worst We ever felt
And if Uncle Sam still keeps us here
Well either freeze or melt.
It's the same thing every morning
When the camp is very still.
We detest the Sergeant's whistle
That calls us out for drill.
We don't like the details
That are picked from day to day,
And we don't like canned Willies,
Nor the way we get our pay.
We dislike those night manouvres,
AS across the hill we tread
And we think of home and loved ones
And our good old feather beds.
And we do not like the non-coms.,
For when we try to shirk,
They say, you are in the army, bo,
And you came here to work"
And when we get a call down,
AS we do from time to time,
We wish that that Lieutenant
Were in 4 hotter cline.
We do not like the doctors,
Who prescribe for all of our ills
For broken bones or headaches
It's the same old kind of pills.
But when the toll of day is over
And our thoughts are cool and
calm,
We are glad We joined the army,
Because we love our Uncle Sam.
We know the time is coming
When men must show their worth
And We'll do our bit for Maryland,
The State that gave us birth.
So we do not mind the hardships,
Nor regret that We took chance
/ In the Hills of Alabama"
For the battlefields of France.
We volunteered for service,
No matter where, or when,
And you will find us ever ready,
AS you found "Old Pershing's
men"
