Give Garden Close Attention

One often sees miserable garden crops
for want Of fsrtilizing, on account of
late sowing and general negl ect Of cul-
tivation.
AS soon az the seedlings appear
above the ground, the hard crust should
be broken by gentle working with q
small hand trowel fork between the
hills or rows, as close to the plants as
psssible. Use the fingers to break and
fine the soil next to and on all sides of
of the plants. This will check weed
growth, and as the seedlings are large
enough to handle, thinning should take
place-merely thinning out the plants
where they are very thick.
The secoud and final thinning should
be done when it is seen which plants
will take the lead. At tho last tn ming,
such plants as onion, beets and turnips
can be used for salads or greens.

School and Farm Conference.

Tuesday, March Is, 1919. representa-
tives from each community met at the
Marlboro Court House.
The session was opened with the
National Hymn and prayer, after which
the chairman Mr.. Jas. F. Armstrong,
spoke of the purpose of the meeting.
''To organize the counties of the coun-
ty' so that more efficient work along
the home, schools and farms may be
done. The chairman then introduced
DR.. w. F. Bomberger, Assistant-Di-
rector and Special Extension Depart
ment, M. S. C. of State College: md.
DR.. Bomberger briefly told the great
work the people accomplished during
the war period; of the alarming stu
alton which now confronts us-due to
the unrest not only in Germany but in
our own sountry. Also Of Bolshevism
and the various ways we might help in
overcoming the uprising in our country.
As much care is necessary in the pro-
duction and conservation in 1919 as
there was i'm 1918 if not more SO. On
account of labor conditions, DIR. Bonn
berger also laid great stress on organi-
zation. Stressing just why it is neces-
sary to organize, there after doing so
have a plan or defikite aim in view
and working to that aim.
The next address by Prof. w. J.
Huntington, State supervisor of colored
school. heartily endorsed everything
DR.. Bomberger had said. The speaker
not only emphasized the necessity of
organization. but spoke of the organl-
cation of community beginning in the
schools. The school forces co-operat-
ing with the extension workers as a
means with the same end in view toIaid
the education of the county. The Com
munity League DIS an asset in obtaining
better school condition. as building
equipment, and in many instances
longer school term. Not only did Prof.
Huntington speak of the organized COM
munity and county; but of the attitude
of the parent toward the teacher and
vice-versa. In all things try to assist
the teacher in your community by the
confidence and hearty support the par
ents give. The chairman then intro
duced DR.. D. S. S. Goodloe, Prin. of
State Normal School, Bowie, Md, who
gave quite an interesting talk on the
progress made in the last twenty-five
years, the benefits derived from the
recent conflict and the benefits which
would come from complete organization
and cooperation.

Testing Seed Corn

Farmers should not lose the lesson of
last spring with reference to the impor
lance of testing seed corn. Corn that
to all outward appearance was sound
proved to be worthless for seed The
farmers should never take a chance
with seed corn, but should thoroughly
test every ear intended for seed. The
sand and sawdust tray and the rag-dol
testers give results.

ROADS
GOOD ROADS FOR MILITARY
Smooth Highways Imperative In Prop
er Movement Of Army Equip
ment Along Coasts.

It is generally recognized by gov
eminent officials, especially those OF
the army, that one Of the most i'm
portant phases of real military pre-
paredness that can possibly be under
taken In this country Is that which Is
going on under the impetus of the
good roads movement The federal
aid road act which was signed by
President Wilson last summer will
probably play an important part in
this same interest. An appropriation
of $75,O00,000 has been provided for,
in this act for use in constructing
rural post-roads, while the various
states are to cooperate in providing
like fund.
1t is planned thus for an expendi-
ture of $150,000000 on such roads
within the next five years. Although
the roads are intended primarily Tor
the purpose Of developing the re-
sources of the national forests, and
in the interest of agriculture and 9th
er peaceful enterprises, some study is
now being made of their practical use
in the interest of military prepared
ness.
A good road, we'll built, well sur
faced and well drained may be, 1t is
pointed out, of immense value from a
military point of view. In the location
of roads, particularly along the shore,
special attention to military require
ments in the laying out and planning
of a highway may prove of inestimable
value at some time id the future when
that highway becomes military road.
From an economic standpoint it is
estimated that it costs % cents to haul
a ton a mile on the average country
road under present conditions, while
under proper conditions the cost would
be but 10 cents. While these figures
measure a direct cost, there is an
even greater indirect cost to consider
with bad roads when the farmer must
plan his operations according to the
weather.
It is a matter of special interest
that at the present time roads on the
Pacific coast and those in some OF
the important Atlantic states which

ing, there exists tendency to put on
fat whenever laying is interrupted,
only unremitting skillful management
to keep a hen in good laying condition
will make her a first-class egg pro-
Queer.
The egg type or laying type of hen,
in any breed, is the hen that with the
qualities that make for good egg pro
duction, has no quality which is an
obstacle to continual laying. The meat
type is not the converse Of the egg
type, even though the hen that is not a
good layer is fit only for meat.
The meat type, in all kinds Of pOul-
try, is the type that grows rapidly and
at maturity carries abundant flesh, es-
pecially where the preferred parts of
the meat are produced. The most de-
sirable meat type is rather fine in
bone, with the frame well knit but not
too compact. Under any kind of good
management a hen of this type that is
in normal condition will be good lay
er. She may not lay any better than
a hen not quite as well fieshed, but she
ought to lay just as well, and when
the time comes to make meat Of her
she makes more and better meat, and
as a breeder" she naturally tends to re-
produce offspring that will make more
and better meat.
Such hens are in reality of the dual
purpose type, no matter what their
size or breed. They are equally valu
able for eggs and meat. That is the
kind Of stock that will contribute most
to the big increase in poultry that is
wanted. 1t is the dual-purpose type of
every breed-a type that exists in
every breed, and can easily be made
the prevalent type without detriment
to any breed, and to the benefit of
every breed-that has suffered from
neglect.

our coasts are already in very good
condition. There is one trunk road
which runs all the way from southern
California up through Oregon, with
many smaller roads branching from
it. that is said to be in the best of
condition. ri
Yet it is matter of regret that the
unsurfaced roads of the United States
if laid out in a straight line would, it
is estimated, girdle the earth at the
equator. more than eighty times, while
the surfaced roads would reach but
one-fourth that distance. However,
there has been greatly increased ex-
penditures for road building and main
tenance in the last decade and there
is now a more hopeful outlook with
the fve-year construction program
provided under the federal aid act.

DIFFERENCES SEEN IN HENS
individuals Of Same Breed Are Not Al

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture.)
Among general-purpose fowls all are
not equal In respect to either meat or
egg production. The, difference is not
due to size, or to the shape of birds in
like condition, but lies in those things
which keep one fowl in good laying
condition when another goes out of
condition, that enable one to lay con-
tinuously through n long period and
still keep in good condition, while an
other loses flesh, becomes poor and
thin, and incapable of further egg pro-
duction-until she has had rest-aft-
err a comparatively short period of lay
ing.
The existence of all these, however,
is not enough to insure good laying.
There must, of course, be reasonably
good management, even if the keeper
has not special skill. But if with these
qualities which make for.continual lay

POULTRY RAISING ON FARMS
Little Capital Is Required and Moth
ing Equals 1t as Profitable
Side Line.

Poultry raising requires very little
capital, but there are very few side
lines, if indeed there are any, that are
equal to it for profitable production.
Much is said of the time it requires
for raising young fowls. But do not
forget that when they are managed
properly the fowls pay literally for
the time required to raise them.
Farming is greatly handicapped for
lack of cash and when any side
line can be found that requires little
money but considerable labor it is at
tractive. Such is poultry raising on
the farm.
