FARMERS DAY AT
COLLEGE PARK
Preparations Are Being Made To
Show Visitors A Big Time
At The State College

In addition to the numerous demon
strationS and exhibits which will be
arranged especially for the occasion,
Farmers Day at the University of
Maryland, May 9th, will afford an
unusual opportunity for the people of
the State to inspect the Institution
and its work in every department.
All buildings and laboratories will
be thrown open to the visitors who
will have a chance to see the many
ways in which the Institution is serv-
ing the public. The barns will supply
some interesting views of the live
stock and dairy work which is being
conducted. The experimental plots
and orchards also will be worth see
ing. The wheat plots where different
varieties are being tested for yielding
qualities will be of particular interest
because of the recent demand from
Illinois for a large quantity of Mann
moth Red Wheat, one of the higher
yielding strains developed by the Uni
yersity of Maryland Experiment Sta
ton.
Poultry demonstrations, combined
with an inspection of the poultry
plant, will afford an opportunity to
discover the most profitable method
of handling fowls either in the farm
flock or the commercial plant. Dem
onstrations at the barns and the
meeting of the State Holstein Breed
ers' Association will be the main fea-
lures of interest for the livestock
grower. Beekeepers will have a field
meeting at the University Apiary and
there will be conferences and special
exhibits for tobacco growers and hor-
ticulturists.
A free lunch will be served by the
University. The address of the day
will be delivered by Sydney Ander-
son. Chairman of the Joint Congress
sional Commission on Agricultural
Inquiry.

The Apple Crop
Injured Up State

Hagerstown. Md, May 1.-THE APP
pie crop in Chewsville district is prac-
tically failure due to the freeze, and
there will be . very small crop of
peaches there, according to J. kief
Funk, an orchardist, and other fruit
growers of that section. There will be
few York Imperial apples, but none
of the other well-known varieties.
The loss to fruit growers there, it is
said, will be heavy. as apples form
the bulk of their crops. There will be
some peaches in orchards on high
ground.

Yesterdays Baltimore Sun gives

posed activities of the two avowed
Senatorial candidates who will make

maries:

All of these aspirants and reported
aspirantS for the Democratic nomina-
tion for United States Senate are ex-
pected to precipitate decisive action
by Democratic city and State organi-
zation leaders on the Senatorial nomi-
nation before the end of the next two
weeks.
Situation Still Unsettled.
Yesterday the situation was drift
ing as aimlessly, so far as any guild
ing hand from organization leaders
was concerned, as it has drifted since
Mr.. Lewis and Senator Norris for
mally announced their entrance into
the race. With the drifting, the num-
Der of nantes under consideration in

When Stephen w. Gambrill, Demo
cratic floor leader at the last legisla-

was discussed.
AvOwed Candidates Active.
But while these discussions con-
tinue Senator Norris and Mr.. Lewis
are active, with Mr.. McMullen said
to be the most interested spectator

guessing what John Walter Smith is
likely to do when the time comes for
definite pledging of organization sup
port.

A Johnson City, Tenn, paper shows
Col. William f. Burbage, a former
Worcester Countian, to have been a
man of sterling qualities and his
death at his home in that city last
week is deeply mourned by host OF
friends. Mr. Burbage was we'll known
in this county, especially around Ber-
lin, where he made many visits from
his home in Tennessee. The Johnson
City paper says:
"Col William f. Burbage died at
his home, Robins Roost," on South
Roam Street, at 7.30 o'clock.
He had been confined to his home
but a few days, having been on the
street about q week ago. Early in
April he was confined to his bed with
u severe cold, and pneumonia was
threatened, but he rallied, and was
soon out again, though his health has
not been of the best for the past few
months. Uremic poisoning and weak
heart was assigned as causes Of his
death.
Col. Burbage was in his 10th year,
having been born January "a, 1877, III
Berlin, Maryland. While he and his
family have been located in Johnson
City for more than twenty years, he
has been connected with industries
here for nearly forty years, having at
one time been interested in six water
works plants in Tennessee and Geor-
gia. In connection with w. ii. Boze-
man and Captain Beatty, he built the
Watauga Water Company in Johnson
City which later, along with the
johnson City Water Company, was
taken over by the City of Johnson
in 1910. The Watauga Water Com
pany, of which he was the head, was
chartered in 1890, though he had busi-
ness interests here prior to that time.
In 1893 during the general financial
panic over the entire country the
First National Bank of Brunswick,
Georgia, of which Col. Burbage was
then president, was one of only two
banks in Southern Georgia which
eventually paid 100 cents on the dol
lar; following failure of hundreds of
banking institutions over the country.
His business integrity and honesty in
iris instance, as in all his dealings,
won FOR him high place in CONNER
cial circles, which he always main
tanned He WAS also the head of the
Brunswick Light, Gas and Water
Company; and at one time was rated
one of the wealthiest men in this sec
tion.
In the division of interests in which
Col. Burbage was interested, he re-
ceived the Johnson City waterworks
plant, which he operated until its sale
to the city in 1910. He had originally
acquired large tracts of land, in con-
nection with water and reservoir
sites, in the Southern portion of the
city; and has been conducting farm
ing operations there since that time.
Col. Burbage has been a prominent
figure in the building up and expan-
sion of johnson City and its indus
tries, and has ranked among the sub
stantial and honorable business men
of this section.
Personally, he was unostentatious;
was largely self educated; what might
be termed a gentleman of the old
school ;was charitable and kind-heart-
ed to an excessive degree, and num-
bered many among his friends, from
every walk Of life. He was one Of

The old Cripple Creek stage road up
Cheyenne mountain. near Colorado
Springs turns and twists like a crea-

with horseshoe curves so sharp that

down or stop to make the turns.
A few days ago this famous old
mountain highway was chosen to dem
onstrate how the wills Salnte Claire
would behav when confronted with
tho obstacles this road presents. The
test is exceptionally severe because
the road. in addition to its numerous
sharp curves, is a one-way highway
extremely narrow and steep. There
are no cnrs built that can make the
steenest parts in high n all Of them
have to use low In some places. Only
