WEATHER AND CROP REPORT

The week was continuously warm,
the night temperatures being gener-
ally high, and scattered light to mod
crate showers occurred daily. The
conditions continue droughty in some
sections, however, especially over the
eastern counties. Corn made rapid
growth, has good stand, and is gen.
orally well worked. In most of the
agricultural districts wheat is in the
shock, with fair yield. Oats are
heading well. Potatoes are only fair
owing to the recent drought. While
pastures and meadows are somewhat
improved.

Lee WILL NOT BE
A CANDIDATE
Has Definitely Decided Not To Ae.
cept denomination For Office
Of Comptroller.

The people of Maryland, regardless
of party will regret to learn that Ma
jor Brooke Lee has definitely and pos
itively decided that under no circum-
stances will he accept denomination
for the Office of Comptroller of the
State Treasury, which he is now fill
ing so acceptably to the public, and
with such great credit to himself and
the whole state. Up to the present
time there has been a general hope
that Major L ee would reconsider his
decision not to accept a renomina
ton as the vast majority of the peo-
pie regardless of party were really
anxious to have an opportunity to
vote for him again. But he has def
nitely and positively decided not to
accept a denomination, and the demo-
cratic party will now be obliged to
find another candidate for the place,
which will not be an easy task. Ever
since Major Lee made the announce
ment that he would not be candi-
date, there has been more or less talk
in favor of Senator Orlando Harrison
of Worcester county, for the noniina-
ton and there is little doubt but thai
Mr.. Harrison can secure the honor
chould he desire it. He has said how
ever that he prefers to go back to
the State Senate, and the probabili-
ties are that some one else will have
to be found to make the run.
The republican troubles over the
proposed division of the spoils of their
last years victory, are increasing and
new candidates for jobs at Washing
ton and elsewhere, are making known
their wishes and demands every day.
Senator Well,r is reported to have
gone into hiding again, and to have
begun once more his old game Of
lodging those who wish to see him.
He is in favor six years, so what need
he care how much the angered peo-
pie may rage when they can only see
him afar, or from the Senate gallery,
and when they wait at the doors in
the hope that they may catch him as
he goes out or comes in they discover
that he has left by the underground
passage, and is gone beyond hope of
recall.

This Commission, One OF Most
Important In State, YET 1t Is
Entirely SeF-Supporfing

While some of the departments OF
the State Government are maintain
ed out of appropriations from the
State Treasury, there are some nota
BILE exceptions, probably the most I'M.
portant of which is the State Acct
dent Commission, of which Mr.. Rob
ert E. Lee of Baltimore is chairmGn
and Messrs. Joseph B. Harrington Of
Talbot county and George L. Eppler
of Allegheny are the associate mem
bers. No money is drawn from the
State Treasury to carry on the work
OF this board, which is entirely self
supporting, and is therefore no drain
on the taxpayers Of Maryland.
In many respects this is one of the
most important Commissions in the
whole administration of public al
fairs, for it regulates and adjusts the
amount of compensation to be paid
to those workmen who are in any
way injured by accidents, which re.
suit in the performance of their du-
ties. The question of compensation
to workmen, had been for years a
subject of much acrimonious discus
sion in all parts Of the country, until
the system now carried out by the
State Accident Commission had beer
authorized in a large number Of
States, and it has been adopted in
practically every State in the Union
the legislatures having been forced
to adopt it, by a strong public opin-
ion after contest before the peop"
lasting for several years. The whole
scheme is so nanifestly fair and just
to all, that it's existence is now taken
as matter of course, and it is a rare
thing to hear word of criticism even
by those who for years opposed
adoption by the legislature.
The Commission is really a cours
and its duties are largely judicial in
their character, although the powers
are strictly defined in the minutesr
detail by the acts of the General As

State Accident Commission
Means Much To Lab0fing Man

sembly. The members are appointed
for six year terms, and the minority
party is always entitled to one mem-
Der of the body, at the present time
therefore the Board consists of two
democrats, namely Messrs. Lee and
Harrington, and one republican Mr..
Eppler. And these gentlemen are
literally on the job all the time. This
is probably the one State Board which
las not been behind in its work since
it was established. Not week has
passed in all that time when the
docket was not substantially cleared,
and those who are entitled to compen-
sation for injuries, know just what
they are to receive and in many cases
have received their first payments. AS
a result the relations between en-
ployers and employees so far as the
payment of damages for accidents Is
concerned are much more cordial than
in the old days, when the usual legal
means were taken, and where those
who were injured generally tried to
get more than they were justly en-
titled to, and the employers almost
invariably took advantage of all the
laws delays to keep from paying out
even the smallest pittance to those
who were damaged, while at work.
The whole system of compensation to
workmen for injuries is probably as
well eXemplifcd in the excellent man
agement of the Maryland Commission
as in any State in the Union, and the
fact that both employers and emploes
unanimously and heartily commend
it. is the best proof Of its value to the
public. The legislature never acted
more wisely than it did in the passage
of the bill to provide for this Com
mission, and it is but just to say that
the three able gentlemen who make
up the body are eminently qualified
for the duties which they are called
Upon to perform.

rive have to disagree with our
friend Winchester a little as to the
sentiment expressed in the above
paragraphs. We are sure that the
law creating the State Accident Com
mission is not as popular as he would
have our readers believe.-Editor.l

PHOENIX ROAD RECORD
Run In Is Hours And l6 Minutes
Marks Fifth New Record Estab-
Iished By Same Car This Year
Az MILE TRIP OVER
DEEP.RUTTED SAND TRAIL

With four records already to its
credit this year, a Studebaker Light
Six hung up fifth recently, when il
plowed it's way from Los Angeles
California to Phoenix, Arizona in IL
hours 16 minutes over roads that were
often nothing more than deeply-rut-
ted sand trails. Details of this re-
markable performance in which the
Studebaker lowered the best previous
time over this route by. hours 28
minutes, have just been received by
The Farmers and Merchants Pur-
chasing Corporation, local distributor
of Studebaker cars.
Up to the time the Light Six made
it's run, the fastest automobile time
for the 422 miles from Los Angeles
to Phoenix was Is hours Al minutes.
The time ordinarily made by tourists
between the two cities is two days.
The railroad time is IA hours 20 min
utes or one hour and four minutes
slower than the time made by the
Light Six:
The Light Six used on the terrific
test over the desert was the same

geles, and which was the first auto

covered roads from the coast this
year.
The Los-Angeles-PhoeniX dash was
started from the main post office at
Los Angeles at d o'clock (coast time
in the morning of March 20, and the
drivers checked in at the Phoenix
post office at GIG p M. (mountain
time), the same day The car carried
special U. S. mail under authority
from the Postmaster General at
Washington, the run being made to
demonstrate the practicability Of
transporting fast mail betwee n the
two cities by automobile. Hart l..
Weaver and Billy Kern, drivers, and
w. Cook and E. White, mechanicians,
composed the crew, but the only job
required of the mechanicians was the
changing of tires several times on the
hot sands of the desert. The intense
Leat, bad roads, and the high speed at
which the car travelled caused unus-
ual wear on the tires.
After leaving Los Angeles, the first
100 miles included some highway but
The greater part of the more than 400
miles was over the worst kind OF
desert road that in some places be-
came just faint outline of trail
Where it was hard, the road was
deeply rutted and in the soft places
was covered with loose dangerous
sand.
The route taken was via Pomona

records, will not try for speed Of
more than 10 miles an hour on ac

Best Fertilizer for Alfalfa

Well-rotted barnyard manure
which is comparatively free from
weeds is the most satisfactory fer
tiliZer for fall-sown alfalfa, accord
ing to specialists of the United
States Department Of Agriculture.
1t should be spread on the land be-
fore blowing, in order that it may
become thoroughly incorporated
with the SOIL Good results also
follow from heavy applications to
the preceding crop.
If the manure is not available, a
liberal application of commercial
fertilizers rich in phosphoric acid
should be made The percentage
of nitrogen may be low, but some
nitrogen should be supplied for the
use of the young plants before they
become inoculated and are able to
secure their supply from, the air.
On most clay soils heavy from the
air. On most clay soils heavy ap-
plications of potash have not been
profitable. a combination which
has been commonly recommended
is muriate of potash rs to loo
pounds, acid phosphate $50 to 500
pounds, and nitrate of soda so to
rs pounds. The cheapest and most
satisfactory method by which the
consumer may obtain such combi
nation is to purchase the desired
| ingredients and mix them himself
in their proper proportions.

Save Best Of Garden Seed
But Store 1t Carefully

Seeds which have been grown
and carefully saved should be well
labeled and stored or all the pre-
vious labor goes for nothing, say
experts of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. Cloth
bags are the best containers for
large seeds, such as peas, beans,
and corn. They should be used
also for large quantities of small
seeds, but for smaller lots, paper
envelopes, made at home or pur-
chased, are most desirable. Or
binary letter envelopes are fairly
satisfactory, but usually are not
gummed so as to close completely,
and if handled carelessly small
seeds may sift out of them.
Correct labelling is of paramount
importance. Every envelope or
container should show the kind
and variety of seed, the date, in
Guiding month and year when har-
| vested, and the place where
grown. For the cloth bags, a slip
of paper bearing all this informa-
| ton should be inserted with the
seed. 1t is very convenient also to
have a tag on the outside Of the
bag, but on no account should the
| inner label be omitted, because of
| the liability of loss of the outside
| tag
