VIII Aid Railroads.


The automobile will this summer
aid greatly in releasing the burden
on the railroads. Trips of as great
distance as 200 miles can
be easily made in motor cars at an
expense hardly more than that of
rail transportation If the party is
large enough. The average touring
car will carry five people comfort
ably-mOre comfortably in fac,
shan in a railway car, all things con-
sidered. When the railroad fare
with war tax added-is considered,
the expense of going by motor is
shown 10 be very little more, and
the benefit of fresh air and the ex-
hilaration which come from motor
ing must also be taken into account.
Good roads are being built
throughout the country. St. Joseph
county is experiencing a boom
which has been needed for many
years, for the roads in this vicinity
have had undesirable regulations for
a long time. These roads. combined
with automobiles, will carry passen-
gers more and more, leaving the
railways 9ree to carry freight.
But, even with all the new uses
10 which automobiles will be put.
1915 will have to be a wonderful
year if it is to surpass 1917 in motor
vehicle production. In 1917. there
were 1,S14,9SS automobiles produc-
ed. valued at $1,O59. 1855, 073-an
average price Of 1920 per car. These
nurr-ne oh,
decided increase in spite of war
time conditions. In 1916. 1.4S5.617
autos were built. the value of which
was S7S5.919.355. Values given are
on a wholesale basis.
Production May be Cut.
Demand for war materials will
probably cut down the production
of motor cars in 1918. Many plants
are working on various articles for
war use-such as the submarine
killers in the Ford plant and Rolls
Royce aeroplane motors in the
Franklin factory.
With nearly 100000 cars built
in 1917. and over 1000. 900 left over
from 1916. il seems that the demand
for motor cars should be nearly fill
ed Some Of these cars. of course,
have already outlived their useful
ness. but the largest part of them
are still running, and are in fairly
good condition. Yet. with all the
apparent supply. authorities in the
motor business say that there viii
be three buyers for every car built
during the coming year.
Ii is also said that gasoline prices
are going to climb With 5000 600
motor cars using it, not TO mention

The ground after blowing should be allowed to remain rough until needed
 Lime Is important.
 It is an excellent plan to make an application of air-slaked lime or ground limestone to the freshly piow- ed soil in order that it may have time to correct acidity before planting time arrives. The manure should not be applied with the lime, as loss of nj trogen will occur under these circum- stances. The time should be applied ard become mixed with the soil before the manure is applied. The manure should be of a good grade, stable ma- nure either from horses or cattle pref erably. Manure that has straw bed ding material mixed with it IS best and should be applied at the rate of 25 or 90 tons per acre or. from 300 to 400 pounds per square rod.
 It is an excellent plan to prepare the soil for planting as needed rather than to fit the whole garden at once. If the work of fitting the ground is done with a team it will not always be feas- lhle to follow this plan. Ground that has not been used for gardening pur- poses should, in every case where it is possible, be put in condition with a team, as the ground should be- cut up with disk or cutaway harrow, thoroughly fining the soil as deeply as it has been ployed. thoroughly mix ing the manure with the soil
 Distribute Hand Labor.
 It is, of course, possible to do the work just as well by hand but a con- siderable amount of labor is involved. For small areas, however, this method is the only practical one. When the garden is to be worked. by hand 1t is especially desirable that the spading be done as early, as possible, as the sooner it is done the easier. it will be to get the ground in condition. The ground should be worked down only as needed. as this will distribute the

ding up the soil. Vegetables will not thrive in poorly drained soil no matter how much care is given them.
 Break Soil Early.
 Flowing or spading should be done at the earliest possible moment, in or der that in sections of the country where freezing occurs the soil may be subjected to freezing so that it will be broken up by the action of the frost and be mellow and friable when planting begins. Nothing aids in the preparation of soil and especially stiff soils, like freezing and thawing. It is especially important that ground in sod be plowed in time so it will freeze after blowing and the grub worms and other hibernating insects and worms may be destroyed.
 Where severe freezin is sure to oc- cur after the blowing is done little harm will be done by blowing the ground while wet. Otherwise the ground should not be plowed until fairly dry, or ciods win result.

The supplementary Budget.

The only considerable increases in ap-
preparation in the supplemental budget
which the Governor sent to both houses of
the Legislature were those for road main
tenance. For this purpose he added $249,-
600 to the total appropriations of little
more than $l,100.000 for next year and
about 100000 for the year 1920. Incl
dentally. he cut the salary Of the assistant
chairman Of the Roads Commission, Johnny
George, from $4,000 to $4,000.
1t is believed these increased appropria-
tons will be covered by the increase in
the automobile and motor-truck license
fees. But in the event they are not, there
is conditional appropriation of $780,
600 for road maintenances from the gen.
eral funds TO cover any deficit, the Gov
ernor being determined the roads shall be
taken care Of
In the State Treasurers Office there is
an increase Of $1,000 in the expense &C.
count; and the Land Commissioner is
granted $500 additional for expenses
each year.
The refund account of the Motor Vehicle
Commissioner is cut $4,000 for next year
and $4,000 for the year after. The chief
clerk of the Public Service Commission is
given $500 increase in salary. raising him
from $500 to $500 a year.
The appropriation for the Public Ath-
letic League is increased from $4,000 to
$4,000 for each of the next two years,
and that for the Maryland Industrial School
for Girls is raised from $4,000 to $4,000
year.
Among the new items is an appropria-
ton Of $500 a year for the Rockville
Academy $500 year to the Maryland
State Volunteer Firemens Association, to
be used for aid of disabled firemen; $l5.-
900 year for the administration Of the
Mothers Pension law; $500 each for the
equipment of armories at Hyattsville, Cam
bridge and Westminster; $3,72S for the
settlement of oyster condemnation cases
and $4,000 to Washington county to pay
expenses Of military survey. Washington
county was the only county in the State
which made any charge for this service
The Governor first allowed it $4,000 and
then cut the amount in half.
The Workmens Health Insurance Inves-
tigation bill was defeated, and the SIS 900
appropriated for that purpose was omitted
There is an appropriation of $lS.224.61 to
cover the deficiency in the expenses Of the
State Industrial Accident Commission. This
commission is self-sustaining. but appro-
priations for its maintenance must be
included in the budget.
There is also provision for a deficiency
of $500 in the publication of the laws.
The Governor asked for $4,000 for the
Maryland Council of Defense to provide
agricultural exhibit, the money to be ex-
pended under the auspices of the colored
section Of the council

MIX supply Vital To Nation's
Health.

One Of the most disastrous effects which
can come from the world war, and one
which threatens the future life of the
nation. is the curtailment Of the milk sup
ply for children. says bulletin lust
issued by the childrens bureau of the
United States Department Of Labor. Milk
is described as the Indispensable food for
children. and whenever the milk supply is
limited the life and health of the people
are imperiled.
The probable effect Of the war on the
health and welfare Of our children is best
learned from the experience of European
countries. II is to avert such conditions
as now exist in Europe that the childrens
bureau Of the Department of Labor is
pointing out the necessity of increasing
and conserving our milk supply.
In order to supply food to the allies this
country must prepare to feed an ever-in-
creasine number. This can be done in
two ways-by increased production or by
decreased use Of food. Food may be saved
by eating less, by substitution or by elimi-
nation Of waste. None Of these methods
will impair the health Of the adult But
the child cannot have It's food curtailed
Neither is Il wise to attempt. except in
the case OF cereals. substitution Of foods
asserts the childrens bureau.

The German Drive.

For solid week the most perfectly or
ganized and heavily reinforced army in
history has been strickins on the breast
plate of civilization. frantically endeavor-
ing to make breach through which to
drive mortal blow. The onslaught has
been so terrible that the defending force
has yielded ground. But the defense has
also been so firm that the enemy has not
made a breach. He is now lying out
stretched, breathing hard, unable to gather
force for another leap. and visibly vulner-
able to a retaliatory stroke.
The immediate objective of the enemy
is now Amiens. if it was not his objective
from the first The battle has developed
unexpected tough spots. as battles always
do, and the enemy's main forces have been
swerved aside when they expected to break
through. Taken as a whole, however. the
German drive has been direct. 1t has con-
formed to the invariable rule of drives in
this war. wherever the defending forces
were strong and stubborn. the rule being
that unless the impact Of the first days
onrush fails to demoralize the defenders
the drive as whole is a failure. The
ground gained is cruelty small return for
the number of lives lost in gaining it. In
the present instance the battle ground is
mere desert. worthless to either side ex-
cept as a bridge to something beyond.
