MARYLAND TOMATO CROP.

Reports from Cambridge indicate
that at least Dorchester county is
producing short crop OF tomatoes.
Whether the shortage extends into
other territory makes little difference
to the farmers and Gamers of that
particular county. for canning is a
local industry and the Gamers arc not
prepared to draw their supplies of this
vegetable from other districts. A to-
mato shortage In Dorchester means
high prices i'm Dorchester. and high
for canned tomatoes throughout Mary
land
The farmer who has goods 10 sell
upon rising market IS not inclined TO
quarrel with fate; but the ultimate
consumer. as he reads OF the furry in
tomato prices upon the Eastern Shore.
cannot help criticizing the haphazard
methods of agriculture which permit
prices to swing far from the normal
In this respect he supplements the
words OF the farmer, for the farmer
complains when, through his and his
neighbors' ignorance, there is too
bounteOus harvest, while the con-
sumner complains when there Is a
short harvest with its accompanying
high prices.
1t is too soon yet to say that toma-
toes will be dear this winter, but the
news from Cambridge sounds as II
they were meant to be. One Gamer
cheerfully remarks that i"it does no:
make any difference if we do have to
pay the farmers more money, Per-
haps it does MOTTO him. But the
consumer, who eventually foots the
bill, has different feelings. The pub
lie will not be willing to pay out extra
money just because some Gamer /.
philanthropically inclined, and 1t viii
still this winter be alert for indica.

BILLS IDEAS.

Bill thought the world would be all
right II all the men were Bills.
II all would till their patch OF ground
the way he daily tills;
II Jim and Joe and Jack and George
would only change their ways
The troubles Of the world would end
and peace would rule our days.
Bill used TO talk by night and day
about the wrongs he saw.
To curb his neighbor's greed for gain
there ought TO be a law,
There ought TO be a law to stop the
man across the street
From charging money for his hay, and
money for his wheat.
The troubles OF the world are great
the government is lame,
Here sin and misery abound and some
one is 10 blame:
II men in power, and men with wealth
and men OF high degree.
Would change their ways and be like
Bill, a happy woCld 'twould be,
Bilfs garden wasn't much to see; ir
fact, the ground WAS bare
And running Wild with ugly weeds
he never knew was there
And when Blu had a thing to sell
though greed's dreadful vice,
Bill wanted all that ne could get ant
asked fancy price,
Bill could have helped the world
bit by cleaning up his yard,
He could have won with little toll hi
neighbours high regard;
But Bill was satisfied with Bill. an
so he spent his days
/ Insisting that his nejghbors should b
forced TO change their ways.

A GREAT EDITION.

The Southern Opportunities lidi-
ton of the Commercial Appeal of
this morning contained lip pages. 1t
was one of the greatest newspaper
editions ever issued in the South. 1t
IS great from many view points,
first the valuable information it
gives regarding hteresources of Mis-
sissippi, Tennessee, Arkansas, Ala
bama and Missouri showing pictures
of industries, towns and cities of OPP
portunities, the growth of the Sotuh,
pictures of public spirited citizens,
advertisements of firms and corpora
lions who are interested in the
growth and welfare of the South who
made it possible for the circulation
of thousands of copies of this vast
volume of information, which is cal
culated to do much good for and
benefit every section represented.
1t is great Oh the part of an news
paper achievement The idea of such
an edition was great to start with.
The newspapers of this section of
the South, and especially of Memphis,
are largely responsible for the rapid
progress which has been made along
al lines during the last quarter of a
century; they are responsible for the
growth of Memphis the great metro
polls, and the many little cities and
big towns which encircle her for
many miles around, making Memphis
one of the biggest, richest and most
progressive manufacturing and COM
xnercial centers- of the entire South.
The edition is a source of valuable
information, and every person. who is
interested in this section Of the coun-
try should have a copy of this great
edition of the Commercial Appeal.
