The Maryland Apple Crop.

The orchards Of Maryland will produce
226,000 barrels Of apples this fall II later
conditions do not upset the estimates Of
S. B. Shaw, Secretary Of the State Horti-
cultural Society, who in conjunction with
the commercial fruit growers, the State
Agricultural Extension Service and the
Bureau OF Crop Estimates, Department Of
Agriculture, has prepared the first Of
series Of fruit reports to be issued monthly
by the State Horticultural Society.
This service, which will 90 to the fruit
growers of the State, will take the place
of bulletins formerly issued by the De-
parrment Of Agriculture on fruit condi-
tons throughout the country and which
have been suspended because of limited
funds. The figures and reports from field
agents of the Department of Agriculture,
however. will be available for reference so
that conditions of crops in other important
apple-growing States will be included in
the service inaugurated by the State Hor-
ticultural Society.
Secretary Shaw's first report, which COW
ers the period up to June 18th, indicates
that the yield in Maryland will be slightly
below the glowing expectations of the
early spring, when the trees were in bloom,
Frost and continued cool weather have
caused many Of the young apples to fall
and this condition may continue for an.
other month.
Indications. however, are for a rs pei
cent. crop, which is 10 per cent. better
than the ten-year average and compares
favorably with present conditions in the
majority Of the other apple growing States
Hartford county predicts a fair crop. Ale
gany county estimates Indicate 5000
bushels more than last year. while Carroll
expects yield very little better than last
fall Frederick county reports prolific bloom
but forecasts only so per cent. crop as a
result Of the late cold weather. Garrett
and Worcester counties expect light yields
Washington county conditions vary and
estimates run all the way from so per
cent. to 95 per cent. in the various sec
lions. Reports from other States indicate
that New York leads in condition with
prospects for a IS per cent. crop.

The Circuit Court Asked To Con-
strue County Treasurer Law.

Judge Edward c, Peter. in the Circuit
Court, has issued a temporary injunction
restraining the County Commissioners for
this county from including in their annual
tax levy provision for paying the salary
of Berry E. CLARK, recently appointed by
the Commissioners tax collector for the
county to serve until July 1. 1922. when
the County Treasurer to be elected in No
vember. 1921, goes into Office.
The suit is a friendly one and was
brought by former County Commissioners
George G. Bradley. Its object is to have
the Court determine whether or not the
Jaw enacted by the recent legislature pro-
viding for the election Of the County Treas
urer. which became effective June 1, re-
peals the law providing for the appoint
ment Of the County Treasurer by the County
Commissioners.
Acting upon legal advice to the effect
that the new County Treasurer law re-
pealed the old one and that. therefore.
unless the County Commissioners awaited
NhCiuoCANCo VI NhC ptoNlolOhc VI very Olu
general law and named a tax collector
the county would be without any one
authorized to collect taxes from June | of
this year. until July 1. 1922. the County
Commissioners several weeks ago appoint
ed Berry E. Clark. then County Treasurer,
tax collector.
Uncertainty existing as to whether the
new law has been properly construed. Mr..
Bradley. acting for himself and other tax
payers, instituted the injunction proceed
ings. which are designed to have the Court
give an opinion in time to prevent a posi-
BILE serious mudde and probable litigation.
The case was argued In the Frederick
county court on Tuesday last before Judges
Urner and Worthinston by Attorneys Rob
ert B. Peter and Bowie F. Waters on OPP
posing sides The court reserved its de-
cision until later date. but will probably
render II before the 30th Of June. the
limit OF time in which the 1920 levy for
this county must be completed. that the
Commissioners may proceed in a lawful
manner in the matter In question.

How Prices Rose And Fell.

Interesting conclusions may be drawn
from a recently completed analysis of
wholesale and retail prices and wages for
the years 1850 to 1872 in which tenden-
cies strikingly like those Of the present
day are revealed, showing finally a slump
in prices which, economists and students
OF market conditions say, soon may be ex-
pected if history is to repeat itself.
The figure of 100 is taken as the basic
level Of all three in 1880 There was a
gradual rise during 1881 and 1852 and
1858. and at the end Of the last year
wholesale prices were at $50; reta prices
at 140; and wages at l30 During the
year 1854 came the sharpest rise and
wholesale prices jumped to the 2l0 mark,
reaching the peak in January. 1885. Mean
while both retail prices and wages had
taken a more gradual rise, the former
standing at 1853 in January and wages
being at $50
In April, 1855. the war ended and there
came sudden drop in wholesale prices,
which fell to 100 in July Of that year and
then rallied to 1870 by the end of the year.
Retail prices and wages continued steady
rise throughout the year. not being affected
by the end Of the war and reached the
respective levels Of ITO and 1876 at the
end Of 1855.
In the year following the close Of the
war. or 1856, there was a marked varia-
ton in the trend Of the three. Wholesale
prices fiuctuated rather violently, but with
a constant downward trend, and they con-
tinued this downward course with occs-
sional sharp rallies for seven years follow
ing the war, scoring net loss of from five
to ten points a year. until in 1872, just
prior to the great panic. they were at 1870
OR just 80 points above the pre-war figure.
II history is repeating itself. the man
who now denies himself useless Injuries
and puts his money in government securi-
ties or in other standard investments will
be on sound financial basis when the
present troublesome days are over

Glass Letter Relative to

Rome, Wednesday, February q
America is savagely attacked by the
Epoca, which today prints a lengthy
comment on Secretary Glass letter
relative to further credits to Euro
pean countries.
Secretary Glass" the newspaper
says. 'does o take into considera-
ton the fact that America did not
participate in the war until western
Europe was out of danger and that
the United States took good care tina.
Germany should not be excessively
trampled upon and Impoverished,
she being an excellent American
client. With the exception of ths
western part of Europe the so-called
peoples peace Seems to be a prelude
to new slaughter. Confrbhted with
this situation, Europe is asked to dis
arm completely while America plans
the augmentationa.of her feet by
spending a billion dollars annually,
Is. disarmament possible when RUS
sian Bolshevism, originally anti
militarist, has transformed itself in
to acknowledgements power?
Russia is in league with Germany,
which is organizing an army for the
former, hoping to overturn the peace
of Versailles Invasion and destruc-
ton of the Polish republic would be
a spark that would kindle a new fire
which would reduce the treaty to
ashes. Therefore, disarmament is
possible if Russia. is the first to do
so, and why not the United States?r
