Record Tobacco Crop Gathered IN.

The entire tobacco crop Of Charles
County was gathered in this year before
frost touched any OF it, ana many far
mers say it is the lrst time within their
recollection this has been done. The
crop this year is considered the larg-
est and best that has been raised for
many years, notwithstanding "a few
weeks before the cutting season started
many farmers were discouraged over
the prospects Of the crop. Many
thought it would be short and in.e-
rior crop. The continued rains had
worked against the tobacco. That
grown on low land was thought to be
checked beyond recovery and some
was drowned. Ideal growing weather
came at the proper time, however, and
resulted IN one of the best crops ever
grown in the county.
When the cutting season came on
many farmers found that they would
be unable to house their crops for lack
OF barn space. Twas common thing
to see or hear OF farmers looking for
barn space A number had to build
barns, some Of which were filed before
the roof and weather boarding were
completed.

Hunting Season opens Wednesday.

The hunting season for partridges.
rabbits and squirrels opens Wednes-
day next, Nov. 10, and closes Deeern-
Der 25th. All persons desiring to hunt
must have a hunters license in pos
session, and new law passed by the
General Assembly OF 1920, requires
every person to wear an arm tag, which
is furnished free with the license, and
this tag must be worn on the left arm
between elbow and shoulder in open
view to the public. Failure 70 comply
with this law means prosecution, bat
good sportsman never neglects to
comply with the law. All sportsmen
realize that the Game Department is
doing all within its power to replenish
the covers with new stock and furnish
them with good hunting
TO those who are disposed to disre-
gard the law, it might be we'll to note
the fact that there are now over seven
hundred Deputy Game Wardens scat
tered throughout every section of the
State, and TO run the risk of being ap-
pretended would be foolhardy.

Although the Chesapeake Bay crop
of oysters does not promise to be ex-
ccptional, there are indications that
oy sters viii be larger and more nu-
nervous this year than usual. This is
due to the Tact that conditions through
out the spawning season were good in
the tributaries OF the bay and that
there was general strike in most
of the rivers
These facts we're brought out follow
ing the inspection of the State oyster
bars by X, V. Truitt, who recently
submitted his report to Harrison W.
Vickers, chairman of the Conservation

could pick up at once an exact dozen
pencils by the feeling, pace distances
with accuracy, and gauge cubic con-

edge Of nature was so complete and
curious that he could have told the
time Of year, within day or so. by
the aspects of the plants. In his deal
ings with animals, he was the orig
inal of Hawthorne's Donatello. He
pulled the woodchuck out Of its hole
by the tail; the hunted fox came to
him for protection; wild squirrels
have been seen to nestle in his waist
coat; he would thrust his arm into
pond and bring forth bright. pant
ing fish, lying undismayed in the palm
of his hand. There were few things
that ne could do so. He could make
house, boat, pencil, or book.
He was surveyor, a scholar, a nat
ural historian. He could run, walk,

VITAL IMPORTANCE OF ROADS
Modern Medicine Points Out There Are
Few Physicians and Nurses in
Rural Communities.

That good roads are Of vital Inn
portance TO the health of commu-
nifty and particularly those who live
in rural communities is shown in an
article in Modern Medicine. 1t is
pointed out by the writer that there
are few physicians, few nurses, and
practically no hospital facilities in
rural districts. In some commune
ties, even In older states. there is only
one practicing physician to 1880 popu-
Iatlon. Hardships of travel make
young physicians scarce. Better high
ways, he points out, will lead physi-
clans to go after country practice In
increasing numbers.
