CORN AND WHEAT REPORT

Reserves>of corn on Maryland farms
on March l, 1923, were about 100000
bushels less than on the same date
one year ago, and nearly 100000
bushels less than the quantity on hand
same date two years ago. Production
in 1922 was estimated by the Gov
ernment to be 25,000,000 bushels. And
on basis of farmers' reports it was
calculated that 80 per cent. of the
crop was husked, per cent. put into
silos, 2 per cent. cut for forage, and
per cent. grazed and hogged, accord
ing to statement given to the press
date of March 13 by John S. Dennee,
crop statistician at Baltimore for the
United States Department of Agri-
culture cooperating with the Exten-
sion Staff of the University of Mary
land at College Park, Md.
The amount of corn on farms, ac-
cording to the crop statistician, on
March 1, 1923, was about II ,938,0OO
bushels or Al per cent. of the 1922
crop, against 12,326,0O0 bushels or 49
per cent. of the 1921 crop on farms
March 1, 1922, and 13,764 900 bushels
or 55 per cent. of the 1920 crop on
farms on March /, 1921. About 20
per cent of the crop will be. shipped
against 27 per cent. of the 1921 crop,
and 26 per cent. the average for the
past ten years so shipped. The pro-
portion of the 1923 crop which is mer-
chantable is about sc per cent, equiv
alent to 21,S44,000 bushels, same per-
centage as of the 1921 crop. The ten
year average of corn merchantable is
sc per cent.
The amount of wheat on farms on
March l., 1923, was about 1,717,000
bushels or 18 per cent. of the 1922

per cent. of the 1921 crop on farms
March l, 1922, and 3,O50OOO bushels
or 80 per cent. of the 1920 crop on

THE DOG AND HIS MASTER

Cut to the quick because the broth
er with whom he lived had given away
Prince, bull dog, for which he had a
great fondness, Nicholas Apostle, 81,
partner in Apostle Bros, tailors,
473 Sixth avenue, committed suicide
by jumping over Niagara Falls. He
had quarreled with his brother for
giving the dog away and became in
consolable when he learned the gift
was to a stranger and. there was no
chance of recovering the animal
New York World.
Probably Nicholas Apostle was more
than little cracked; yet if the loss of
friend ever justifes suicide, might
not the loss of loyal canine be con-
sidered as irreparable as that of the
generality of human comrades? There
is never any doubt as to the true
friendship of your dog. He will love
you and stand by you to the last, if
all your family and all the world de-
sert you. No fatterer, no hypocrite,
no pretender, he. You may be the
meanest man on the face of the earth,
but he can see no evil IN you. Fire
cannot burn nor waters drown his un-
reasoning but limitless devotion.
Whether he be an aristocrat or a mon
grel, love and sincerity are "the badge
of all his tribe"
The wolf, from which the dog is de-
scended, has none of these traits ap-
parently. The canine descendant is
further removed in some characters
tics from his progenitor chan is civil
lized man from his savage ancestor.
Civilization has done more for the dog
in some ways than it has done for
many humans. Somehow he has pick
ed up on the way from wildness GER
tain attributes of the noblest kind. It'll
is almost as if evolution had worked
out of him, not change of form, but
a change of heart and spirit. He has
not lost his tail, which still remains
his most eloquent organ of speech, but
he has gained something very much
like an elementary soul. /
Thousands of dogs have died for
their masters in fierce fight, have re-
turned to them over unknown trails |
hat only love could follow, have died
of broken hearts upon their graves.
But the New York tailor is the only
man,so far as we know, who ever
committed suicide for his dog. The
tragic incident holds ultimate hope
for humanity. Perhaps in the course
of a few. thousand years more men
may evolve to level of nobility that
will make them equal of the dog ir
invincible fidelity and loyalty.-Balto.

WASTE PAPER SHORTAGE

1.-THE shortage of waste paper in thu
United States today is more than g
business problem of the paper indus.
try-it is conservation problem in.
volving the forests of the entire coun-
try" says Grelet Collins, president of
the Book Paper Manufacturers Asso-
citation.
every ton of waste paper that is
used by the paper mills means just SO
much of our forest resources saved for
the future. Taking good pulp-wood
land as an example, vt can be said
that the use of six tons of waste paper
is\equal to saving of one acre of tim
bef from devastation. This is no
small matter, when it is considered
that the paper industry used in 1922
nearly 100000 tons of waste paper.
This 100000 tons of paper, therefore
means the preservation of more than
100000 acres Of good forest land.
To-day the housewife is able to get
a reasonable price for her waste paper.
The lack of steady market, however,
causes tremendous waste. Today
waste paper is so scarce that it costs
the paper manufacturer in some re-
gions more than new wood pulp. Pa
per has been so cheap that no junk
dealer would buy it. The shortage
followed, and now it is too high.
GAS a means of forest conservation,
If for no other reason, the public and
the paper industry should cooperate
to save old paper on a basis which
would mean steady supply to the
mills and a reasonable price year in
and year out to those who in slack
lines are forced to pay to have their
I'D papers hauled away"

RAYMER COMMERCIAL
CLUB REVIVED

At meeting Of several citizens Of
Raymer last Friday evening It was
decided that the old Commercial
Club should be reorganized, to look
after various things Of interest to
the town.
Before the incorporation Of the
old organization was quite active
and accomplished a good many Of
the things that needed to be done
In the course Of its existence a
good deal OF money was contributed
for public purposes; and often those
least able to pay were the ones that
bore the heavier load.
With the incorporation Of the
town suci matters AS street improve
ments could be left to the officials;
stringent times made It difficult to
raise money, especially where the
need was not urgent and the Club
was neglected.
The needs Of the present seem to
be not so much financial as to pho
mote a get-to- -gether spirit; sort of
helping hand affair; promoter Of
good fellowship.
One OF the first things taken up
was the matter Of q celebration for
the coming Fourth of July. Mention
OF this will be found in another
