UNCOMPROMIsING IRELAND.

To an Anglo Saxon mind the latest British solu-
ton for the Irish problem seemed rather reasonable
until the person with the aforesaid mind heard
from his Irish friends.
Lloyd George proposed set up two home-ruIe
parliaments one For north ireland and one for
south Ireland. presumably Belfast Dublin re-
spectively. Each would handle its local problems
Connecting the two there would be a national
ell speaking for the whole Of Ireland Thus Ireland
would be placed apparently in about the same po-
sition the self-governing British dominions 1t
would correspond roughly, to the Canadian prov
inces Of quebec and Ontario. each with its leg
isature. and with the Canadian parliament over
both and the imperial parliament in London still
welding authority broad national or information
a policies.
This would not be Independence 5ut it would be
greater measure of home rule than most Irishmen
would have expected or demanded a few years ago.
II seemed pretty good compromse-to the Anglo
Saxon mind. But once appears. strjk-
iugly than ever the innate opposition of Irish
mind 10 compromise of any sort II be all
nothing.
All factions in ireland join in repudiatins this
proposed settlement. What then is TO be done?
Ulster would join England south
land Will to let Ulster go South Ireland
wants to be independent of Great Britain. but
Ulster either as self-governing province or as an
integral part of England. does not want an alien
government on it's frontier. No more does England
want that stretch of foreign boundary, If it
were reconciled 20 giving up south ireland.
So the Irish status quo continues with the status
getting every minute. Nothing be done
without compromise-but nobody will compromise.
Certainly therein the Irish race shows an unfor-
tunate lack OF the element that has chiefly
characterized British and American politics from
the beginning. and is az the bottom of the Anglo
Saxon genius fo- elf-sovernment How. indeed
there be any real self-government without COM

AGRICULTURAL NOTES.

Let US take look at some of the
things we buy outside OF Charles Coun-
ty and see if we can raise them in the
County and save the freight
Apples, Beans. Cabbage, cos-peas,
Hay, Soy Beans and Sweet Potatoes,
These are a lew Of the important things
we buy,
We have apple trees enough to fur
nish Charles County with good Iruit
from July anti May. They need to
be sprayed al Ae rlghl time. II any
one wants some spraying information
stop in my Office or seno me word ana
it will not cost you one sent 10 get it.
Beans are an important article OF
our diet and we ought 70 cat more
than we do and eat less meat We 90
raise some but not nearly as many as
we cat. We may not be able TO raise
them as cheapiy as we can buy then
and in that case we had better Duy |
ind that can raise them cheaper.
Cabbage are easily raised and kept
and we ought not let one cabbage come
into the county during the season when
we have them.
Cow-peas are fast becoming an I'M
portant soiling crop. We VIII import
the most OF our seed. We can raise 1t
as easily and as cheaply as any one
else. Let us take IitIle thot TO the
fact this Spring and SOW some for seed.
The same may be said OF Soy Beans.
Hay is one Of our greatest expenses.
Our stock must be fed during the WIN
ter and we do not raise enough Tor
them to cat. Cow-peas and Soy beans
Will answer the question about hay
They will be easily grown after we see
that our timothy ana clover is a fail-
ure. Let US SOW some for seed and
also some for hay. Sow in drills and
cultivate once or twice for seed. 1t IS
also a good way to grow the hay, but
the hay may be broad cast.
Sweet potatoes are easily grown.
Not SO easily kept unless a community
will build potato house and keep
them in it. With the present prices OF
sweets it would be a good investment
for any community.
Sweet potato plants are easily raised
in hot bed. Let us try some and see
how good they are next October with
those young roosters we are matching
out now while we are Matching ont our
pullets we are going to get eggs from
in November.
