CAMPAIGN TO ERADICATE
GARLIC.

A campaign to arouse the interest
OF farmers throughout Maryland in
the eradication of garlic is being
undertaken this fall by the Univer-
sity of Maryland Extension Service.
according to DR.. Thomas B. Symons,
Director, who points to the economic
waste now resulting from the prev
aience of this weed.
1T has long been recognized"
says DR.. Symons, "that wheat grow
ers have been sustaining annual
losses as the result of discrimina.
ton in price against garlicky wheat
From five to ten cents per bushel
has been the usual discount on
wheat containing garlick although
Immediately following the war this
discount ran as high as twenty cents.
Garlic in pasture lands had also
been source of annoyance and loss
to dairymen of the state.
Garlic eradication is not a new
project. The Extension Service and
the county agents have been advo-
eating the elimination of garlic from
farm lands for good many years.
This fall, however. an effort will be
made to get concerted action against
garlic. Information as to the
methods by which garlic is spread
and how it may be eradicated will
be sent broadcast throughout the
state in an effort to organize a cam
paign against it. Special exhibits,
dealing with methods of garlic
eradication, will be made at all the
county fairs.
1T would seem that the best
method of obtaining results woulA
be to interest all farmers in a COM
munity in the work. This would
not only have the advantage of pre-
venting the possible spread of garlic
from one farm to another, but
would give the farmers of a COM
munity the opportunity of coopera-
ting to secure better price for
garlic free wheat.
Methods of eradication are
simple but entail some additional
work and a slight change in crop
rotations. The first step is late fall
blowing of garlic infested land.
Usually this may be done in Novem-
Der when the garlic plant has at
tanned heighth of about foot.
The land DIS permitted ( to lie bare
over winter and the following spring
is planted to corn. The next fall
late blowing is again recommended
and the land planted the following
spring to soy beans. cow peas, pota-
toes or any other spring crop.
Wheat may then be sown in the fall
together with the customary grass
and clover. The use of seed wheat
absolutely free of garlic must be
emphasized.

WEEy1L AND GRAIN MOTH.

Carbon bisulfid is recommended
as the simplest and least expensive
remedy for all insects ordinarily in
Testing the farmers grain such as
wheat and corn stored in tight bins.
If bins reasonably tight and with a
temperature about 70 degrees f
one pound of carbon bisulfied for
each 35 bushels of grain is sufficient.
II the bins are not sufficiently tight
for thorough fumigation. or If the
insects are very abundant, the
quantity of the liquid should be
doubled or tripled.
Since the vapor is heavier than
air. and settles downward, the
liquid should be placed in shallow
pans or sprinkled over the top of the
bins and should be we'll distributed,
not more than a pound in place.
The fumigation should be allowed to
continue SO hours or even 4S hours,
II the grain is not to be planted. If
the grain is to be planted. fumiga-
tion should be allowed to continue
"a hours. 1t Is a good plan to apply
the liquid Saturday afternoon and
leave the building closed until the
following Monday morning. The
vapor of the liquid being highly in
fiammable no fire or light of any
kind should he allowed about the
building during the fumigation.

PUTTING AGRICULTURE IN
"HEALTHY CONDITION."

Communicated.
There is today much talk about
the pitible condition of the farmer,
while the Oxford Press continues to
publish the wonderful achievements
of the Republican party, and at
tempts to explain how agriculture
has been put in healthy condition
and placed. on its feet. can not
see how anybody got this into their
head about agriculture, unless they
think that we farmers are all en-
gagged in moonshine business, for /
believe we farmers have been
swindled by the so called Farm Bloc.
They received for the farmer some
duties on their exports, which repre-
sents to the farmer the little end of
nothing whitfield down to very
small point. In exchange for this
they voted for outrageously high
duties for the imported materials
that are required to hide our naked
ness in summer and keep US from
freezing in winter And this is not
the end. Our President now has
the power to increase these duties
fifty per cent, and If that does not
satisfy hiS campaign contributors he
can change these duties from For
eign to American valuation, SO it is
plain to see that it will be some
Tariff Bill when they get done with
it.
They are urging we farmers to or
ganize, and / know they are laugh
ing up their sleeves. For farmers
to organize against tribe of Tariff
Buccaneers" who pay as high as
four hundred thousand dollars for
a single seat in Congress!
If this is what is called putting
agriculture in a healthy condition
and getting it on it's feet think it
is time for farmers to stand on their.
own feet and give the millionaire
Tariff Buccaneers" dose of their
own medicine.

PLIGHT IN THE NEAR EAST.

PLIGHT IN THE NEAR EAST.
Charles v. Vickery, general Sec
rotary of the Near East Relief. who
returned last week after an extern
sive survey of conditions through
the Near East, including Syria. Ana
tolia, and the famine regions Of
Transcaucasia, declared that the
burden of caring for thousands of
additional orphans will, now fall
upon his organization, which since
the armistice has been caring for
more than one hundred and fifty
thousand homeless and parentless
youngsters in the Levant.
Arrangements for a nationwide
campaign in behalf of the Greek and
Armenian civilian victims Of the
disaster to the Greek Army have
been made by the Near East Relief,
it was announced by Mr.. Vickery,
who said that fifty thousand dollars
appropriated by the organization to
meet the emergency was mere be-
ginning to meet the vast need.
Mr.. Vickery's statement pointed
out that the 100000 appropriated
by Congress for relief in the Smyrna
region is for American citizens only
and not for general relief purposes.
Arrangements have. been com.
pleted by which the Near East Relief
will be used as clearing house for
all American relief activities in the
Smyrna region. The Federal Coun-
ell of Churches, which has ISSUED
an appeal in behalf of the victims,
has designated the Near East Relief
as the agency through which it will
operate.

Disarmament Conference Falls To
Scrap Ships or Reduce
Expenditures.
Especial Correspondence.)

Especial Correspondence
Washington, Oct. 1.-THE one
achievement Of the Harding, admin
istration about which the Republic
cans have boosted loudest and lsng-
est-the Disarmament Conference
has so far proved to be only a fiiv-
yer. The avowed purpose of the
Conference was to reduce govern
ment expenditures by reducing
ornaments, and when Mr.. Hughes
proposed his plan for scrapping a
limited number of first-line war
ships, he was acclaimed a great
statesman, and again mentioned for
the presidency.
The trusting people foresaw an
immediate reduction in government
taxation and believed that the first
step had been taken for general
reduction of ornaments by all the
nations. The Washington Disarm-
ament Conference, however. only
raised the hopes of the people with
out fulfillment. 1t served the temp
orary political purpose of helping
to restore a fast waning confidence
in the Chief Executive. But NO
'battleships have been strapped, no
expenditures have been reduced by
reason thereof, and the public is now
informed by the Secretary of the
Navy that no battleships will be
scrapped until the treaty has been
ratified by the last of the subscrib-
ing powers. Neither France nor
Italy has ratified the treaties, and
so far as known no influence NOR
pressure has been brought to bear
upon them to do so. Mr.. Hughes
has been excursioning to South
America, Mr.. Harding has been
busy with Ohio politics.
It is not strange that the admin
istration has shown no anxiety about
accomplishing practical results
through the complete ratification of
these treaties. Mr.. Harding and his
advisors were long opposed to the
Disarmament Conference, which was
called into being by a resolution of
Senator Borah and supported by
Democrats and Progressive Republic
cans. When it was certain the
resolution would pass both Houses
the opposition was withdrawn. Hav-
ing profited politically for the time
being, the administration apparently
has let the whole disarmament mat
ter drift just as the administration
itself has been drifting.
The people reposed great conf
dence in the work of the Disariha-
ment Conference and were led by
the administration to expect i'm
mediate and great results. They
have been sadly disappointed each
time they have believed in the glow
ing promises of this Republican adj
ministration, only to find in the end
barren results.

This is the third of series of three
dispatches on the operations of the
Kansas Court of Industrial Relations
summing up the viewpoint of employ
ers.)
TOPEKA, Kan, Oct. 21.-Employ-
ers have had about as much to say in
criticism of the Kansas industrial court
law as labor leaders. Each cries out
against restriction. The labor leader
says the right to strike is impaired and
the state answers that this is true only
in industries essential to the public vel
fare and that any individual is free to
quit work. but must not conspire with
others to do the same.
Taking away certain privileges from
labor has meant depriying capital of Ger
tain rights, too.
ANY firm or corporation or business,
for instance, which limits or suspends
or delays" continuous and efficient oper-
alton" for the purpose of evading the
purpose of the Kansas industrial law is
subject to severe punishment.
One section of the law reads that it
shall be unlawful for any person. firm or
corporal ton engaged in the operation of
any such industry Essential industries
being listed wilfully to limit or cease
operations for the purpose of limiting
production or transportation or to effect
prices for the purpose of avoiding any OF
the provisions of this act, but amy person.
firm o. corporation SO engaged may APP
ply to said court of industrial relations
for authority to limit or cease operations,
stating the reasons therefor and said
court of industrial relations shall hear
said application promptly and if said ap-
plication shall be found in good faith and
meritorious authority to limit or cease
operation shall be granted.
Necessary for Public Welfare.
The foregoing gives the state sweeping
powers over essential Industries. The
| theory back of the law is that it is. nee
! essary for the public welfare. The SUI
| preme court of Kansas in Il recent deci
! sion points out. however, that 10 firm
