this can be done. Should anyone de-
sire work of this character, please
notify the County Agent within the
next month or ten days. and possibly
a demonstration can be arranged on
your farm.
Considerable time was spent during
the week investigating root disease,
which has recently made its appear

portions of the county.
Mr.. Cope. the assistant State For

While the excitement was at its

always upon young white girls. A
week ago the people showed signs
of acute impatience at the course

more concerned, moreover, when
out-of-town newspapers began to
print stories of the actual situation
in Washington holding up the town
to derision as an unsafe place for
thousands of young women war
workers, to say nothing of the res

The thing that aggravated public
sentiment in Washington to the

1t has rained almost continuously
for two weeks, with serious results
for our farmers. 1t is said this has
been the heaviest rainfall since 1876,
at which time practically the entire
wheat crop of the county was ruin
ed Very few farmers had their
wheat thrashed out when the wet
spell started two weeks ago, and those
who now have it in the shock say
much of it is ruined. That portion
of the early potato crop that was in
the ground has begun to sprout, and
most of them will be ruined. Most
all kinds of vegetables have been in
jured by the rain, and fruits have
also been greatly damaged. The
huckleberry crop is one of the larg-
est ever known, and the berries can
not be picked because of the water
in the lowlands.
Millions of dollars loss on wheat
crops will be suffered this year by
Maryland farmers as result of the
heavy rains of the last ten days.
The approximate figures of the
loss cannot be arrived at Immediately,
for reports in detail have not yet
reached I. b. Symons, director of
the extension service of the Mary
land Agricultural College, at College
Park.
Estimate Runs to S5.OOO.OOO
1t is likely. however, that the loss
will reach $4,000, 900, and may exceed
that figure Only one-third of the
wheat crop was thraShcd, according
to Mr.. Symons, and of the two
thirds remaining stacked in the fields
it is estimated that half has been
damaged beyond recovery.
These figures, Mr.. Symons point
ed out, are not yet authentic or ac-
curate, but are based on observations.
Agents of the Extension Service are
preparing reports now. which will be
CONSOLIDATED when they rcach Coliegc
Park and afford an accurate estimate
of the loss.
Severe on Eastern Shore
"The wheat crop has been seriously
hurt Mr.. Symons said when reached
at College Park today. "rhe dam
age is particularly heavy on the
Eastern Shore. The yields in Kent
county and counties below were cut
down heavily by early rains in May,
and the further damage done by the
recent rains has heavily accentuated
the shortage in yield.
"A lot of wheat has been thrashed
but in many sections less than a
third of it has been stored away. The
remaining two-thirds was subject to
damage by rain. Without any
