APRIL.

With April comes the feeling that
winters his the ceiling, and spring at
last is here; we are not always freez-
ing, or catching cold and sneezing,
and iiue germs disappear. The win
ter's grim and dreary, it makes US sad
and weary, it fills our bones with aches;
but April IS enchanting, and we begin
our planting, and plying hoes and
rakes. The winters knell is tolling,
and naught is more consoling than is
the breath of spring; there's solace in
its breezes, and men are simply eheezes
who do not dance and sing. The tum-
ble-bug is tumbling, the bumble-bees
are bumbling, the grass is getting
green; this fact appeals to reason;
there is no better season for burning
gasoline. Oh, April is hummer, she
IS the cheerful conner who gets the well
come sign; though sometimes wet and
windy, Inclined to raise shindy, her
curves are mostly fine. She shows
that winters ended, for she is not at
tended by snow and ice and sleet; with
cold she's never stung us, and so she
lands among us with both her queenly
feet. = WALT MASOr

In accordance with an act OF the Leg
islature the Board OF Public Works is
advertising for bids on all equipment
owned by the State and used during
the past three years in grinding oyster
shells in Southern Maryland. The
demonstration OF using oyster shells
in Southern Maryland has been a sue
cess and large quantity of lime has
been distributed by the State in this
section. In as much as demand for
ground oyster shell lime has been Gre
ated and private enterprise shows a
disposition to operate private grind
ing plants. il was felt that the state
should discontinue grinding and sell
ing lime. There remains splendid
opportunity for the development OF
this business in Southern Maryland
There will continue to be great need
and growing demand for lime Pri-
vate enterprise should avail OF this OPP
portunity so that all available oyster
shells should be ground as to supply
lime locally to the farmers.
This demonstration by the State has
been fruitful in showing the advantage
of using lime on sour soils OF South
ern Maryland. 1t is hoped that local
capital will bid in the States lime
grinding equipment so as to insure its
remaining in this section.
Details concerning the location and
condition OF this property can be Sc

just before the closedown the State
Assembly, under suspension OF the
rules in both branches, put through
the bill fixing the state tax rate for
1921 at 35s cents on the 500, and at 81
cents for 1922. The rate represents a
shavedown which makes good on the
governors inaugural speech promise
that there would be reduction. Con
sidered isolately, the rate does not
look so serious but for the fact the
state rate is in way OF being an adj
dendum to the city rate and to the local
rate in each county.
The question of finding new revenue
sources has come before every session
OF the legislature in more or less def
mite shape. The state collects reve-
nue. from more than eighty different
sources, and though the collections
from the direct tax represents the lar
gest single unit, revenues from this
source are not one-third the whole,
When the Haman oyster-bottoms leas-
ing law was passed there was a gener-
al belief on the part OF advocates OF a
leasing system that at least 81 coo, 0O0
would ultimately be added to the net
revenues OF the state from the state s
oyster properties. The oyster bottoms
were not, as at present, source OF
surplus revenue.
