INFORMAL WAR CONTRACTS.

The Honse has passed the bill
validating the informal contracts
entered into by the War Depart
ment and authorizing their ad-
iustment, and it is to be hoped
that the Senate will speedily take
similar action. The House bill
leaves the settlement of these
claims to the War@Department,
and the Senate committee on
military affairs has approved a
bill with the same provision, from
it's previous action in providing
for the settlement to be made by
a special commission.
There are about $500 of these
contracts. involving more than
81, 700, 900, 900, all made in good
faith, but without the legal for
malities which would enable them
to be adjusted without legisla-
ton. Many manufacturers have
large capital tied up in them and
cannot proceed with the divert
ing of their plants to normal
peace production until these con-
tracts are settled.
Apparently there is no oppos-
ton whatever in Congress to Va
lidating these contracts and max
ing proper terms for their can
collation.. The only question rails
ed was whether they should be
adjusted by the War Department
or by commission appointed for
that purpose. Congress owes it
to the patriotic business men who
took the risks of booking big gov
eminent orders without the delay
of formal contracts to pass upon
the question and quickly provide
for their relief.

LANDS AWAIT TILLERS.

Prof. H. J. Patterson, of the
Maryland State College of Agri-
culture, recently submitted to
the Council of Defense, in con-
nection with movement to pro-
vide farm land for returning SOL
diers, a report showing that there
are 100000 acres of, resting
farm lands in this State.
All of this land has been clear
ed, much of it is under fence and
a great percentage of it can be
worked and probably would be
worked were it not for the fact
that the owners are short of
both labor and capital.
The percentage Of resting land
that is, of land cleared and
ready for cultivation but not be-
ing cultivated-runs from 26.9
per cent in Washington county
to SO per cent in Calvert county,
according to DR.. Patterson table.
In Prince Georges county 62 per
cent, of the land that is ready
for cultivation is not being cul-
tivated. In Dorchester the acre
ageis AZ per cent; in Wicomico, 40
per cent; in Caroline, "a per
cent, and in Queen. Anne's 80
per cent.
When the question of providing
farm land for those soldiers who
may wish to take up farming as
an occupation was first laid be-
fore the Council of Defense there
was suggestion that it might
be found we'll to drain some
sWamps that could be converted
into productive property and also
to clear land that is now covered
with timber. Neither clearing
nor draining is necessary, &C.
cording to DIR. Patterson to pro-
vide all of the land that may be
needed.
I'm my judgment" said DR..
Patteson "the resting landin this
State can be purchased and the
necessary buildings can be erect
ed upon it for much less than it
would cost to clear or
drain new land. We do not need
to clear or drain land to provide
all that will be needed to supply
the demands of the soldiers.

10, 900 Mexican Quail on Farms in
Maryland.

State Game Warden Lee LeCompte
has ordered 10000 quail from Mexico a,
a cost of $4,000 and they are to be lib.
Grated throughout Maryland next spring
in an effort to restock the States game
resources. This is among the many
other results made possible by the pass
age by the last legislature of the State.
wide hunting license fee bill, which up
to December of this year had already
netted the game protection department
of the State Conservation something
over $50 900. ,-.,>..- ...
This sum from the license fees, to-
gether with the amounts accruing from
fines for game law violations, already
over $4,000 must by law go into fund
that is to be used for the protection and
propagation of the wild game of the
State. :.
Just what will be done with the entire
amount has not been settled, according
to- Mr.. LeCompte. At present the game
section of the Conservation Commission
has 10 salaried men on its payroll and
it is estimated that their sala ries and
travelling expenses will require from
81, 900 to $40. 900 of the total received
from licenses.
The 10000 quail just ordered will cost
$4,000, and in addition arrangements
have been made for the shipment OF
10000 rabbits at q. cost of 500. 1t Is
also desired bv the Game Warden to
purchase 1000 ringneck pheasants, to be
placed in Western Maryland counties
but up to the present time it has been
impossible to obtain bid on that
number.
The Mexican quail which have been
ordered are trapped wild birds and no,
stock bred in captivity. This Mexican
bird is practically the same as the local
Bob White, there being only slight diff.
ference in the marking on the head.
Its call notes identical with M arvland
but its habits are somewhat differen,
owing to difference If its native SUI
roundings from the average Maryland
farm land. The Maryland quail travels
in coveys Of from 10 to 90, but down in
Mexico the birds are seen in f1ocks OF
300 or more.

THE ''FLU"

The influenza figures are dis
quieting, if not alarming. Some
$4,000 cases have been reported
to the State Health Department
since January l, and though this
number may include cases that
occurred before the first of the
month, there can be no doubt
that the disease still prevails to
a dangerous extent in both city
and State. No additional word
can be said as to safeguards and
precautions. The only thing to
do, apparently, is to observe care

ing and to neglect no symptoms
of indisposition.

ROUNDING UP ODD JOBS.

The really thrifty and indus
trious farmer never lacks for
work, even in January. Ordi-
inarily there is a'greater number
of days unfit for field work than
in any other month of the year.
But in Southern States especially
along the Gulf coast.section there
is rarely a day that some outside
work can be done. There is
much need for repair work on
fences, barns, tenant houses, etc.
clearing of land, mending of old
and constructing of new terraces,
oiling and repairing of tools, inn
plements, and harness, and vari-
Gus other odds and ends that can
be taken care of and that will
greatly help when the real spring
work comes on. January is a good
time to get out fence posts for
use next summer and fall. It is
we'll known that all post should
be seasoned before using. When
necessary to use posts made from
inferior timbers it pays to treat
them before setting them. This
treatment can be given now, pro-
vided the posts are seasoned or
dry enough to take the treatment.
For full information in regard to
treatment of fence posts and
other timbers apply to the For
est Service, United States De-
partment of Agriculture.

steps Of a moving electric car in front
of G. H. Mylkes store on Church street,
striking on his head, catching between
the steps and the fender of the car and
being dragged several feet before the car
could be brought to a stop. The mans
escape from death was little short of
miraculous as he pitched head forward
when he was Jared from his position
on the steps and would have been
crushed II the car had gone a few feet
further.
Besides sustaining a scalp wound on
the back of his head, he was somewhat
bruised and greatly weakened from loss

the accident, were first aware Of Bon
fglio's danger when they saw the man s
legs protruding from between the fender
and the steps. Miller called to the motor
man and the car was stopped within a
few feet. Turner and Miller and other
passersby rushed to Bonfglio's aid and
with DIR. Adrian Griswold Of the Mary
Fletcher hospital extracted the imprisoned

ously injured He was rushed to the Of

OIL FROM Cookies

(From the Christian Science Monitor)
Who that has ever picked cockle-burs,
not for pleasure, but patiently from gar
ments to which they had attached them
selves during a walk in the country, will
be pleased to know that they are at last
discovered to have better use. The oil
chemist of the North Carolina depart
ment Of agriculture has found by expert
ment that a valuable oil can be made
from them. Few persons probably have
ever given a thought to the kernels in
side the burs, but these kernels, properly
dealt with, yield n clear, sweet oil with
a nutty javor. It's quality, says the
North Carolina department of agricul-
ture, with the pride of a discoverer, is
such that 1t should Eventually be used
as substitute for other vegetable oils"
and the pressed cake, left after the oil is
expressed SHOULD be of value as a food
for cattle" Perhaps. all these years,
the cocklebur that attached itself to the
passing pedestrian has simply been try
ing to attract his attention to the hidden
usefulness.
