day by Senator Frank NJ. Duval The
bill provides for the construction Of
a draw-bridge across South River at
Riveryiew This is up the river and
inside the present bridge in the State
road from Annapolis to Solomon's
Island and the lower First and Eighth
district
The bill carries an authorization TO
the County Commissioners TO issue
bonds to the sum of $4,000
The need of the bridge has been
manifest fcr,many years, particularly
in winter weather Even in a mild
and open winter there often occur in
terruptions to the ferry service at this
point. and during such severe weather
as has prevailed this year the total
tying up of the ferry by the ice neces-
states long drives either around the
head of the river by way OF Chester

to the distance of travel to the points
served by the ferry.

AFEW GARDEN DONT'S
FOR HOME GARDENERS
Prof. B. w. Anspon of State College
Delivers Lecture
FIRST OF SERIES OF SEVEN
Tells Of Usual Causes Of Failure in
Home Gardening Forty Join
the Club

Prof. b. w. Anspon of the Mary
land State College Of Agriculture de.
livered the first of a series of eight
lectures on Better Gardens" at five
o'clock yesterday in the old Senate
Chamber. The series is being deliv-
cred at the request of the Maryland
Council of Defense, Women's Section,
for Anne Arundel county.
This first lecture was a general one,
Introductory to the seven others
which will take up in detail the sepa-
rate parts of the subject Prof An
spon is in charge OF the garden work
of the college throughout the State
an dthe series is under his general
supervision. The second lecture will
be given on Thursday, February IA,
by Prof +. f. Stoddard on the subject
of making a suitable garden plan and
providing for succession and rota-
tion of crops.
Prof Anspno stated that the two
usual causes of failure in home gar
dening is ID lack of knowledge, t2)
lack of interest after the first enthu-
siasm of planting has waned The
reasons for having a garden this yea
are three fold Food scarcity. need
for relieving transportation systems
by using local produce, and the profit
to be derived from a garden, not only
in money value, but in superior quail
ity of fresh picked vegetables and the
fact that varieties may be grown
which excel in other ways than in
mere ability to stand transportation.
The home gardener should first pro-
duce correct and unbiased ipforIaa-
tion and must not rely entirely on
seed catalogs. He should get cata-
logs but use them with knowledge de-
rived from government sources, and
should draw up garden plan suited
to his own conditions, should order
seed early very necessary this year,
and should prepare the ground, Now
is the time for the preliminary steps
A few of the don't are:
l. Don't plant garden crops in shady
places.
g Don't attempt gardening III poor
unfertile soil
Don't substitute novelties for web
known varieties.
A. Dont't plant too great a variety in
small garden
5. Don't water plants during the
day
6. Don't work the soil when wet
z Don't allow the surface of the soil
to become baked
8. Don't let weeds monopolize the
garden moisture and fertility.
8. Don't permit any vacant space in
the garden during the season.
10. Don't permit any vacant space in
results of your first effort
He urged cooperation, which may
best be secured by forming a local
garden club, under the direction ol
the county agent BY registering for
this course home gardeners will re
ceive government pamphlets suited tC
their needs. which will materially ait
| them.
The Council of Defense hopes tha

PROHIBITION IS NOW
ASSURED FOR STATE
House Passes Federal Ratification
Resolution to Third Reading
As VETS til SIS DRY VOTES
Measure Will Surely Pass the Senate
With Probably Bigger Majority
Than it Got in the House

After a lengthy and al times Bit
ter war of oratory, the House yester-
day afternon passed to its third read
ing and thus assured the final adop-
tion of the Joint Resolution ratifying
on the part OF Maryland, the Federal
Prohibition Amendment The final
vote was 5S to AZ, but the first test
vote, which was on motion to have the
question referred to the voters OF the
State that the members of the Legis-
lature might in that way be instructed
as 10 the sentiment of the people Of
the State, was 55 to 45.
The Anne Arundel delegation was
split on the proposition the first vote
showing Melvin and Linthicum voting
dry, and Solley and Rodgers wet. On
the vote to pass the measure TO the
third reading file after the committe
report had been adopted, Rodgers
switched and voted dry
Showing plainly the effects of the
illness from which he has been suffer
ing for several days past. Mr. Melvin
made an exceptionally telling and
thoughtfully prepared address in sup
port of the ratifying resolution.
That the measure will be passed by
the Senate is assured. there having
already been test vote there which
showed the drys to be completely in
control
When the Senate and House shall
have voted for the ratification this ac-
.tion Will be certified to by the Cover
nor to the Secretary of State at Wash
ington. If 35 other states indorse the
amendment it viii then become a ma
tionwide law. Seven years are allow
ed for action by all the states AT the
speed, however, at which the Anti-Sa-
loon League is rushing its efforts in
behalf of ratification it looks as
though the whole job may be complet-
ed within two years.
One year remains if the amend
ment is ratified by three-fourths of
all the states in which all supplies
then on hand may be disposed Of
It would seem, therefore that there
are at least three years in which
Maryland. at least, can adjust itself
to the serious taxation and other
problems to arise, if prohibition be-
comes reality, provided, however,
the Anti-Saloon League. intoxicated
by its success in the Senate and
House, should put its steamroller in
operation to make the state "bone
