WHY WINTER WHEAT is VALU-
ABLE in THE ROTATION.

Corn, oats Cor barley, winter
wheat, clover. Wherever this ro-
tation is practicable it is the basis
of the most successful farming.
There is a reason for each crop and
for its place in the rotation. The
plan is scientifically correct and may
be made the foundation of profitable
agriculture through generations.
Corn usually makes first-class
crop on good clover sod.
Probably there is no better seed
bed for oats, than good corn land.
On fall-plowed corn land of about
medium fertility, oats usually yield
excellently both as to quantity ana
quality.
The rotation followed up to this
point prepares the land perfectly for
winter wheat and the last crop in
the rotation-clover- fails
where seeded with the wheat.
Glover is really the key crop. When
it succeeds, the other crops are al
most bound to do well. Thus the
wheat crop is valuable to the entire
rotation because of its direct bearing
upon the clover crop.
1t has been demonstrated repeat
eddy that in order to obtain the
fullest benefits from fertilizers, a
correct and suitable rotation is
necessary. 1t is common experience
that on good soil, manure gives best
results when applied to corn. On
poorer soil, it may be advisable to
save some manure, if possible, for
the wheat or clover. On wheat, a
high-analysis fertilizer is profitable
not alone because of the increased
Yields of wheat, but also because of
it's excellent residual effect on the
following clover crop.

Secretary of State Smith of Ohio
on August 20 ruled that the propos-
ed beer amendment to the state con-
stitution of Ohio will not be per-
mitted to be placed on the ballot in
November. This means he refuses
the wet petitions said to contain
nearly 100000 names. 1t is ex-
pected the wet interests will bring
mandamus proceedings in the SUI
preme Court to compel the Secretary
to place the proposal on the ballot.
In that event the courts will decide
the question.
Unless the courts reverse the
Secretary Of State there will be no
referendum on this question in Ohio
this year. Secretary Smith in his
ruling declared that examination of
the petitions convinced him that
they bore the required number OF
legal signatures and that all legal
requirements had been met. In
view of this fact he said that there
was but one question to be deter
mined and that was whether it is
within the power of the Secretary of
State to refuse to submit a propo-
sition that would be in contravention
to the supreme law Of the land, to
wit: the Federal Constitution and
certain Federal Laws" He then
quotes a section of the Volstead act
which defines intoxication liquor to
be liquor containing one-half of one
percentum OF more by volume, and
concludes: Nothing could be gained
by submitting to the electors this
proposition or any proposition thar
is in conflict with the Federal Law
and the Federal Constitution,

GARLIC IN WHEAT FIELDS AND
PASTURES.

Maryland farmers are annually
losing many thousands of dollars in
the form of reduced prices for wheat
and unmarketable milk due to the
persistent presence of garlic in
wheat fields and pastures, according
to DR.. H. ]. Patterson, director OF
the University of Maryland Agricul-
tural Experiment Station.
THAT garlic in wheat has result
ed lower prices for the crop has
been well recognized fact for
many years." says DIR. Patterson.
1t has meant that farmers of the
State have received at different
periods from 2 to 20 cents per bush
Ell less than the same wheat would
have brought on the terminal mark
ct If no garlic had been present.
Following the removal of a
guaranteed price for wheat at the
close of the war, the difference in
price due to the presence of garlic
became SO extreme that the Univer-
sity Of Maryland Experiment Station
instituted a survey of the situation.
The, results of this survey, conducted
by u E. Metzger, clearly indicated
that IS per cent of Maryland grown
wheat would be classed as garlick,
under United States grading stand.
ards. 1t also brought out the fac
that about Is per cent of the gar
licky wheat in Maryland contained
more than 10 garlic bulblets pei
1000 grams which was far in excess
of the grading allowance
Following representations to the
Secretary of Agriculture by wheat
growers of Maryland and other
States where garlic is a serious pest,
the United States grading standards
were modified to require that the
amount of garlic in graded whea,
be stated. This should prove
benefit to the grower who has sue
ceeded in reducing the amount OF
garlic in his wheat but who has no
been able entirely to eradicate it,"
The eradication of garlic from the
farm is the surest method of reduc-
ing the losses due to 1t, according to
DR.. Patterson. This may be accomp-
lished by deep blowing late in the
fall, following a definite system of
crop rot rotation and by planting
wheat that had been thoroughly
cleaned of garlic.

Incomplete. returns on Tuesday
morning from practically all Of the
Eastern Shore counties, comprising
the First Congressional District, in
dicated a large plurality for Repre-
sentative T. Alan Goldsborough of
Caroline county over A. nj. Jackson
and A. w. Sisk.
Sixth district returns, not al
together complete, show that State
Senator Frank w. Nish of Washing
ton county is leading A. J. Cum
mings Of Montgomery by fair
margin.
In the Fifth district, where the
Democrats also had contest, Clar-
ence M. Roberts of Prince Georges
leads all his competitors by good
margin and, evidently, has been
nominated for the House.
State Senator Willard E. Tydings
of Hartford has evidently run away
with his opposition in the Second
district, and has been nominated for
Congress over George d. Iverson
and Frank H. Zouck, the latter be-
ing the dry candidate.
In the Republican Senatorial
fight the returns indicate that Jos. 1.
France, present U. s. Senator, ran
away with John w. Garrett, winning
the nomination by large majority.
The Democratic fight was three
cornered one, with William Cabell
Bruce, Baltimore city; David j.
Lewis, Allegany county, and William
l. Norris, Baltimore city, opposing
each other.
Returns Tuesday morning pointed
to the nomination Of Bruce, who
was the organization candidate, and
carried Baltimore city.
