out by the State Council of Ma.
tional Defense. This was followed
by a splendid address BY j. Sam
johnson, who was given the clos
est attention by the large crowd,
and was enthusiastically applauded,
and many were awakened to some
of the great and important ques-
tions involved in this world war.
During his address Mr.. johnson
exhibited number of bandages,
pillows, socks and other garments
made by the workers at the Red
Cross rooms. He made a splen-
did appeal for contributions to the
local chapter Of the Red Gross,
which was met with hearty response
and splendid offering in cash was
received.
So eager were the people to
give of their money that several
times Mr.. johnson had to ask them
to wait until the clerks could catch
up writing the names and amounts
given. Following Mr.. Johnson's
address and offering, four young
ladies, holding the corners of a
large American flag, passed among
the vast audience to receive the
silver shower" from those who
wanted to give. This amounted
to neat sum, as will be seen else
where.
Next came the corn auction,
under the direction of Mrs. O. G.
Tidwell and her able committee,
Irwin Vawter acting as auctioneer.

Fishing Laws

An erroneous impression seems
to have gained wide circulation in
Tennessee respecting the fishing
laws. In some quarters it has
been reported that the federal gov

governing the manner of catching
fish for home consumption. The
facts are that there have been con-

BLACK EYED
SUSAN PICKED.
Senator Bomberger Would Have
This The State Flower Of
Maryland.
SHOWS STATE COLORS.
Resolution Offered In Senate
Yesterday Afternoon To Pick
Floral Emblem For This
State

The officially sanctioned and rec
Ognized state Flower" of Maryland
is to be the Black-eyed Susan, if a
measure now being considered by the
legislature is adopted. Senator
BOmberger yesterday afternoon intro
duced a joint resolution what calls
upon the Governor TO declare by proc
lamation a floral emblem of the state.
In presenting the resolution, the Sen
ator. who has made a study OF the
subject, stated Maryland was one of
the few states in the Union that had
no state flower. The resolution calls
upon the Governor to proclaim the
Black-eyed Susan, which carries the
Maryland colors, the state flower.
The resolution, which was given
two readings under a suspension of
the rules, reads as follows:
Whereas, Sentiment has at all
times been associated with the sover-
eighty of the state, finding its express
sion in one or other forms of symbo-
lism and
Whereas, Floral emblems have
been historically employed to repre-
sent and convey the physical, moral
or patriotic characteristics of people,
and
Whereas, Thirty-eight states of the
Union have adopted some species of
the floral indigenous to their soils to
be representatives, of them, and
Whereas, The Rudbeckia hirta,
comonly known as the Black-eyed
Susan. of the family Compositae,
suborder Ligulforae, by its hardness
and vigor markedly typifies the ira
ditions of Maryland citizenship; and
by its modesty and grace the charm
Of her womanhood, confirming also in
notable way by its perennial
growth and its strong self-perpetuat-
ing instinct the motto of the state;
and
Whereas, This flower is composed
of and only of the colors of the Cal
vert insignia, the head or crest of
black and petals of gold; therefore be
it
Resolved, by the General Assembly
of Maryland, That His EXcellency, the
Governor of Maryland, be and he is
hereby empowered and directed to de-
clare by proclamation on the first day
of Jnue, in the year 1918 the Rudbec-
kia hirta or Black-eyed Susan as the
tloral emblem of the State of Mary

THE CULTURE OF
HARDY VEGETABLES.
Prof. Shaw Gives Sixth Garden
Lecture.
HARDY VEGETABLES.
Every Garden Should Have Small
Bed Of Egyptian" Or
Perennial Onion.
HARDY VEGETABLES.

Prof. S. b. Shaw gave the ninth gar
den lecture on March 14th on the sub
ject of Hardy Vegetables and Their
Culture"
The lecturer began by eXpaining that
the term Hardy Vegetables" is under
stood by some to mean able TO resist
frost either at the beginning of their
growth or at the end and by others as
able to stand storage and transporta-
ton conditions. Using the first of these
definitions as in keeping with the clas-
sification previously announced in the
outline of these lectures he took up
the early vegetables and discussed
their dates of planting and resistance
to frost
Beets stand a Slight frost at either
end of the season and in addition can
be stored uncooked for human con-
sumption though suffering somewhat
from shriveling. They are stored for
poultry use to great advantage. Near
ly all root crops are kept best cool and
moist. The exception being sweet pO-
tatoes which are kept warm and dry.
Parsnips and turnips stand even
more frost than beets at end of sea-
son especially. In giving planting
dates Prof. Shaw modified conditions
to suit the prevailing weather and
ground conditions for this season as
well as adapting to this climate. He
gave April 1st as a safe date for beets,
parsnips, turnips and carrorts.
Potatoes may be started earlier
since they have to sprout and grow
four inches to appear above soil at all
and if nipped by an unlucky late frost
will put up new tops unless the por-
tion planted is very small.
Cabbage may be planted from March
15-April and will normally stand a
late frost. Cauliflower is more tender
1t and early celery date from April 10
to 18th.
Kale is very hardy crop. 1t will
stand frost at either end of the sea-
son. 1t is planted as soon as the
ground is workable.
Onion sets may be planted March l.
April l. Sets April 1.
Beans, smooth type, are two weeks
earlier than the wrinkled varieties.
Some people carry sweet peas through
the winter by covering them, and
whenever that can be done, so, also,
can the early garden peas. This month
peas can be planted as soon as ground
is fit Wrinkled peas April 1-15
Radishes are very hardy and very
early.
Satisfy is tender at beginning of sea-
son, but very hardy at end of season.
Plant at about April 18th.
Spinach is hardy if planted in fall
and carried over by being covered
with leaves, but it is little tender if
planted in spring. Plant April 1-15.
An absolutely hardy all-the-year
round onion is the Egyptian" or per-
ennial. Every garden should have a
small bed
Brussels sprouts make a late fall
crop and may be planted as late as
the last half of August
Being questioned as to potato grow
ing in general, many of his audience
having had a little experience last
year and wishing to have their ideas
clarified, Prof. Shaw gave a clear eX-
planation of the behavior of the pota-
TO, of its storage and sprouting cOndi-
tions and it's scientific history and ma
ture.

CANNERS MUST KEEP
THEIR CONTRACTS
This Is The Announcement Of
The Federal Government On
Tomato Controversy.

The Food Administration has deter
mined that Maryland Gamers of to-
matoes must live up to their con
tracts Assistant Inspector Foley, OF
the Department of Enforcement of the
Administration was at the Office OF
the State Administrator yesterday
when an Eastern Shore Gamer was
upon the carpet on the charge of fail
ing to carry out his contracts.
This involves the points heretofore
raised by a delegation of Anne Arun-
del County tomato growers.
1t is alleged that the Eastern Shore
Gamer who bucked agreed to furnish
tomatoes at a specified sum from a
certain acreage and that he sold much
of his product at spot" prices and
therefore could not fulfill his CON
tractural agreements. The Gamer
was ordered to forward copies of his
contracts to Washington and until a
decision is given in his case, the Ad-
ministration decided to withhold his
name.
Bakers are also to be watched close
ly. William H. Maltbie, who is in
charge of the enforcement Of the food
regulations, said that the prescribed
mixture of -four and other cereal must
be followed to the letter.
