As the Editor Sees 1t.

The editor is popularity supposed
to see everything, hear everything,
know everything and publish every
thing that is going on.
But sometimes he doesn't see it
doesn't want to see it-because, be-
ing an editor and trained to weigh
all angles of every question, ne
knows that it is better for the com
munity if he does not see it.
There are many things the editor
does not publish because they con-
tain no element of news, are distress
sing to many innocent people, and
their publication could serve no good
purpose.
Some times the editor is criticised
for his forebearance, but there are
many things to be considered before
putting everything in cold type.-Ex.

With the Baltimore liquor ring in
control of the Democratic State Con-
vention on Thursday of last week,
their tool, one Carville D., Benson,
drafted a wet" plank that was
placed in the party platform. This
was done in order to please 1000
ex-saloon keepers and 5000 ex-bar-
tenders" At any rate that is what
the Baltimore Sun says.
We are to infer that the so-called
leaders of the Democratic party in
Maryland would rather please the
saloon-keepers asd bar-tenders, this
influential and highly respectable
class of citizenship, than the temper
ance people of the State. AS the Bal
timore Sun and it's wet henchmen for
whom it speaks, have thrown down
the gauntlet we wonder how long the
temperance voters of Maryland are
going to permit this bunch of Balti-
more liquor Johnnies to dictate party
affairs in our State.
According to the Baltimore daily
press the most important thing the
Convention did was to put a wet
plank in the platform, but after that
was accomplished it is incidentally
mentioned that 80 delegates, each to
have half a vote, were selected to at
tend the National Convention meet
ing in San Francisco on June %, and
eight candidates for Presidential
electors.
The formal ratification of the
nomination of Senator Smith and
direction to the national delegation
to re-elect Senator Smith national
committeeman was the. other bust
ness of the convention that was tran
sacted. after the adoption of that
wet" plank that was to bring joy to
1000. ex-saloon keepers and 5000
ex-bartenders." ,s.@

Maryland Farmers Progressive.


Maryland farmers in 1919 made
$19,149,000 more than their fathers
and grandfathers did in 1880 and
added that sum to the yearly total
value of the farm products produced
in the State as direct result of i'm
proved farming methods which have
gradually been put in practice.
Statistics compiled by F. w. Olden-
burg, Specialist in Agronomy for the
State Agricultural Extension Service,
show that this increased wealth has
been due entirely to the use of better
seed, more intensive cultivation and
more intelligent all arousd farming
methods.
The figures gathered together by
Mr.. Oldenburg cover forty years of
farming history in Maryland and
have been compiled to show the in
creased yield of crops per acre, thus
eliminating entirely from considera-
ton any increase in acreage which
might have taken place, in the State
during that period of time.
The ten-year average yield of the
major crops of the State are shown
for each of the ten-year periods from
1880 to 1919. For instance corn,
which in the ten-year period from
1880 to 1889, showed an average
yield of 24.2 bushels per acre, jump
ed up to an average yield of S6.5
nc ~.
period from 1910 to 1919. This
gives an increase in the average
yield of 1873 bushels per acre. In
1919 there were $4,000 acres
planted to corn in the State so that
the increased yield for the year
amounted to S,523,OOO bushels. At
$40 per bushel this increase
amounted to $11,9S3,OOO for corn
alone.
Other crops have been estimated
similarly. Wheat shows an increase
of S.S bushels per acre since 1889;
oats yield 9.6 bushels more per acre;
rye, 81 bushels more per acre; pota-
toes, 20 bushels more per acre; hay
lS tons more per acre; and tobacco
lOS pounds more per acre.
Only the value of the increases I'M
the yields Of corn, wheat. oats and
rye have been estimated in dollars
and cents, but for these four crops
the figures indicate an increase in
value amounting to S1S,236,000> in
1918 and to $19,149,00O in 1919.

Suggestion For a Camping Rim.

Buy a bottle of Chamberlaln's
Collie and Diarrhoea Remedy before
leaving home. AS a rule it cannot
be obtained when on hunting, fish
ing or prospecting trip. Neither can
it be obtained while on board the
cars or steamships and at such times
and places it is most likely to be
needed. The safe way is to have it
with you.
