STATE NEWS

The biggest dry raid ever made in
Somerset county occurred on Friday
the twenty-third, when Federal Agent
Jesse H. Bratton and Sheriff Charles
Dryden arrested Fred Adams, Walter
C. Chenewith, Mrs. Irene Rucger and
Winifred S. Quigley. Upon the oath
of Bratton they were charged with
the manufacture and possession Of in
toxicating liquor. On being brought
before Justice of the Peace Miles.
Chenewith, Quigley and Mrs. Rueger,
in default of bail, were committed to
Jail, Adams, who secured bail, was re-
leased.
1t is asserted that this is the begin
ming of a clean sweep of moonshiners
and bootleggers of the lower Eastern
Shore. In the raid stills were found
in operation and large quantities of
mash were secured. All of the parties
live near Princess Anne.
Shippers of truck-farm products
and supplies to and from points on
the Cape Charles Branch of the Penn
sylvania Railroad, that takes in the
whole Of the lower peninsula of
Northampton Co. from Cape Charles
to Kiptopeke, a distance of about IL
miles of the best truck land on the
Eastern Shore, won an important vic
tory last week when the Interstate
Commerce Commission handed down
a decision declaring the freight rates
charged them by the railroad COM
pany to be unreasonable, as compared
with the rates on the same commodi-
ties to and from Cape Charles. The
decision prescribes the rates to be
charged in future and also declares
the compliments entitled to repara-
ton, with interest, for the overcharge
already made.
The complaint was filed by the East
Coast Potato Distributors of Cape
Charles in July, 1921, and applies par
ticularly to the traffic in potatoes,
cabbage and corn outbound, and to
fertilizer, lime and cooperage stock
inbound along the Cape Charles
Branch, from Cape Charles to Kip
topeke.
1t is found by the commission, sub.
ject to the 10 per cent, reduction of
July 1, 1922, which is to be deducted
from the rates prescribed for the flu
ture that the class rates are unreason-
able to the extent that they exceed
the class rates to and from Cape

slogan, but it seems in some danger
of becoming more slogan than a
definite idea The phrase really in
wolves two ideas. One has to do with
maintaining and increasing soil fer
tility. The other has to do with wise
marketing practice.
One-crop farming sooner or later
brings certain trouble with pests, dis
eases and weeds. It brings financial
plaques. It runs down the land. 1t
forces the one-crop farmer into a
gamblers market.
By having number of crops and
crops going to market at different
seasons, the farmer is reasonably
certain to catch some crops up in price
even if others are down. By market
ing often, the chances of getting bad
ly caught or of getting caught in a
gamblers market are greatly re-
duced.
By merely mixing up crops so as
to have more than one thing to sell
is not "diversifcation" in it's proper
meaning Indeed, the greater the va
riety of the crops farmer raises, the
more chances he must take Of having
some of them go wrong in the field
or the market and the less he is able
to specialize on the crops best suited
to his land, location and preferences.
No farming is good farming unless
it tends to keep up and increase the
fertility of the soil. Poor crops are
never a dependable source of income
and only good land can raise good
crops.
Diversified farming therefore i'm
plies such crops in such rotations as
will keep up the quality of the soil.
Usually that means the use of le-
gumes. Legumes often require the
use of lime and the keeping of live
stock. Since the dairy cow is a most
efficient converter of feed into cash,
Investigation often implies dairying
and, working back, regular work, fire.
quent marketing, intelligent planning,
proper crop rotations, legumes, lime
and real farming-all as against mere
cropping.
But first-class diversifcation is
practicable without the dairy COW,
even without any livestock at all. An
orchardist who keeps up his soil with
vetch or crimson clover, or with sod,
and whose fruit ripens and is market
ed through a long season, is to be con-
sidered "diversified". Alfalfa and po-
tatoes may get along indefinitely, ev-
en- if the alfalfa is sold.
Besides, under favorable circum-
stances a real specialist in any crop
often works his land and his markets
so as to get by very nicely with only
his speciality to bring in the profits.
So diversified farming means any
sort of farming which is permanently
good for the land and which, at the
same time, is dependably profitable
for the farmer.

AGRICULTURE

Barley production in the United
States has been affected less by pro-
hibition than, many people had ex-
pected, according to the United States
Department of Agriculture There
has been no noticeable change in
acreage or market probably because
barley production. at the time prohi-
bition came was undergoing a very
fundamental change and this change
has covered any loss that might have
been caused by the cutting off of the
market for brewing barley.
Our normal use Of barley for brew
ing was never more than 80 per cent
of the production and this was only
barley Of the highest grade, for which
"a premium was paid. This market for
fancy barley has not disappeared due
to the fact that much fancy barley is
still required for the manufacture of
malts and near beers, and also be-
cause of the increased demand for ex-
port barley, in part due to the absence
Of Russian barley from the market.
The other 70 per cent Of the crop,
comprising the lower grades, still
completes with oats and other grains
for feed and milling. The use of a
barley as stock feed has increased in
recent years, because of a better real
ization of it's value for this use, and
la recognition Of it's high yield COM
pared to other small grains.
Barley is an excellent feed for live
stock, being almost the equal of corn.
It produces more pounds to the acre
than oats or wheat, and its cultural
requirements are such that it fits in
with the work of the general farm,
where it is now being more generally
grown, instead of being confined to
large areas devoted only to small
grain farming.

IL doesn't need a great amount OK
