LEGISLATION DISCUSSED
AT MEETING TODAY

Between so and rs residents of the
city and county, including Is women,
gathered in the city assembly hall this
morning and entered into a discussion
OF some OF the new legislation affect
ing Anne Arundel county, passed at
the late session OF the Legislature.
The meeting was called by John dep.
Douw, of Annapolis. A referendum
will be sought on three bills, at least.
The first bill taken up for discus
sion was House Bill No. sos intro
duced by Mr.. Howard, which was
signed by the Governor and is now
Chapter 524 OF the Acts OF 1920. This
is the measure that provides for the
reduction OF membership of the Board
of County Commissioners from seven
TO three; increasing the salaries OF
the Commissioners; providing four
year terms of office instead OF two.
and prescribing the qualifications and
governing the appointment OF the
county road engineer.

Charles L. Tate. OF the Third dis
trict; Mrs. Robert Moss. Senator A.
Theodore Brady, Walter II. Hart. and
others addressed the gathering. The
apparent drift of sentiment OF the
meeting was along the line that
change from the present number or
Commissioners would be step back
ward; that the new law opened the
way for selecting the officials from
perhaps only two sections Of the coun-
ty. Mrs. Moss not only maintained
that view, but also made a point that
the legislation was inconsistent, draw
ing by way of comparison the passage
of the bill increasing the membership
of the County Board Of Education from
three to five, whereas this law would
entrust the management OF the coun-
ty, with all Of its diversified affairs TO
body of three men.

cIsrERN WATER

The necessary size of the cistern
will depend on the amount of water
used by the family, the annual rain
fall in the locality and the size Of
the contributing roof area. Gener-
ally speaking, in this state a cistern
should hold about two months sup
ply of water.
The cistern may be built of con-
crete or cemented brick, but in either
case it must be water tight, not on
ly to prevent the loss of the stored
water, but to prevent the entrance
of ground water. If the cistern is
built of concrete and the surround
ing soil is loose and exerts a decid-
ed pressure on the walls, the latter
should be reinforced close to the
surface.
Roofs, particularly shingle roofs,
collect much dust and dirt from the
roads, and cutters and cave troughs
are often filed with leaves, dirt and
bird droppings. 1t is extremely inn
portant that a switch and bypass
be provided on the rain water pipe
so that, at the beginning Of rains,
the filth from the roof may be drain
ed to the outside before any rain
is admitted 10 the cistern.
In addition to keeping out the
first washings from the roof, it is
advisable to construct a small fl
ter. This filter is placed outside the
cistern and is brick box contain
ing gravel, sand and charcoal, the
water passing through II before en-
tering the cistern.
To protect further the users Of
the water, hypOchlOrite Of lime-One
ounce to 5000 gallons Of water
should be put in the cistern at ire
gent intervals.-F. @. Dufan, State
Sanitary Enpineer.

BIG IkcREAsE EXPECTED
70 IN ACREAGE OF PASTURES

AS aresult Of the low prices Of
farm products the acreage of grass
es and clover seeded in Kentucky
this spring is expected to be increas-
ed approximately 100 per cent. over
that Of 1920, soils and crops spe-
cialists at the College Of Agricui-
ture say. This is in line with the in
crease reported for 1921 when the
acreage was INCREASED about so per
cent over that Of 1920. About 80
per cent of the increased acreage
will be seeded in that section of the
State which normally seeds red top
or herds grass for pasture, accor-
ding to the specialists. Good stands
and success in growing the increas-
ed acreage will depend upon prop
er preparation of the seed bed and
the use of sufficient seed, the spe-
cialists have pointed out to farmers.
"Grasses of all kinds catch best
on seed beds that are compact be-
meath and only loose enough on top
to cover the seed" Ralph Keeney,
one Of the specialists said. Land
growing a clover crop or rye that is
being grazed rather heavily is an
ideal place to SOW red top since the
tramping brings the seed in close
contact with the moist earth and en-
ables it to take root. If the soil is
loose on fields without clover crop
it is frequently best to roll the land
Immediately after the grass has
been sown.
'In spite of the fact that farm
ers in many localities Of Kentucky
SOW only three pounds Of red top an
acre, less than five pounds should
be used and 10 pounds is not too
much. The amount Of labor and
trouble necessary to obtain thick
stand can be reduced if the suffi-
cient quantities of the seed are used
in the first seeding.
'Tn seeding red top, it is best to
use peck of Japan clover to the
acre at the same time. The mixture
increases the grazing furnished by
the red top alone and in addition
the clover, which is a legume, adds
to the fertality Of the soil.

D0CKAeE IN SPRING WHEAT
SHOWS ALARMING INCREASE

In every 20 bushels of spring
wheat thrashed annuolly in the Uni
ted States there is one bushel Of
dockage which is largely weed seeds,
according to an estimate made by
the United States Department of
Agriculture based on the figures of
1921 crop produced In Minnesota,
North Dakota, and South Dekota.
If all the dockage we're to be clean
ed out Of the spring wheat raised
and shipped to the market separate
ly it would fill more than 5000
freight cars containing $4,000
poonds each.
Records of grain inspection in
Minnesota show that for the last Is
years the percentage of dockage in
wheat arriving at the terminal mar
kets in that state has gradually in
creased. The average dockage for
1903 was 90 per cent. for the six
year period ending 1920 it was 40
per cent. while for the 1920 crop of
wheat alone marketed up to January
1, 1921, average dockage was 81
per cent.
This means that the 1921 crop OF
spring wheat produced in Minnesota,
North Dakota and South Dakota
alone contained more than 5, co.
900 bushels Of dockage. Assuming
that 81 per cent. is representative
for the total crop of spring wheat,
it means that more than 100000
bushels of so pounds. each of dock
age was grown and thrashed in the
United States last year. Fully 80
per cent. of the dockage could cas-
ily have been removed, it is said, by
the proper use of an ordinary farm
tanning mill.
Realization of these conditions
prompted specialists of the depart
ment to design a grain recleaner at
tachment for thrashing machines to
remove this dockage from the wheat
as part of the thrashing operation.
Preliminary tests of this recleaner
indicate its practicability.

1HA1 FREIGHT RAIE sEE-sAW

J. A. ID. Morrow, President Of the
National Coal Association now tells
the world that the freight rates on
coal shipments must come down II
the business Of the Nation is to be
revived. This from Washington.
At the same time the American AS
sociation of Railway Executives, al
so operating as an organized unit,
makes its little bow and tells the
suffering reader that freight rates
must go up if the business Of the
country is to be saved and the cost
of living materially reduced. This
from New York. Between the two,

stand-what support
The Coal Association, from its
Press Bureau in the national capi-
tai tries to impress the people with
arguments generously prepared
without charge, its sole purpose be-
ing the attune the American metal
machinery to justification for higher
prices for coal, and it merely passes
the buck to the railroads, the wage
question having been put in the
background for the time being. The
Railway Executives just as enter
prising in the matter of education
al" effort would "sell" the people on
the thought of higher freight rates,
lower wages, and a general support
of all railroad policies.
The people have been very consid-
crate Of the railroads, and certainly
they have been patient with the coal
companies. They have been made
to dance a pretty tune to keep warm
and they have paid the piper and re-
NAMED cool. II might not be a miss
now, if these and other giant indus
tries bent their highly paid mental
ity to establish some method of re-
ciprocation. We never had divis-
ion of, opinion such as this when the
roads owned and controlled the min
es, yet the situation was fundae
mentally the same. The price Of
coal always has and always must
be affected by transportation cost.
Frankly the people are confused.
The average American is always
ready to respond to the appeal for
fair play and always is sensible
enough to realize that industry must
be fostered.- Likewise he knows
legitimate prosperity is not a crime.
The thing that bothers him is this
perpetual D. game, of "Simon Says
Thumbs Up, Simon Says Thumbs
Down." The result is that he be-
gins to NWiggle Waggle". The
people seemingly cannot get any
knowledge on either the coal or the
railroad situation on which to base
