Is it madness that is affecting the
world, or a condition that demands
more serious study, inquiries an ex-
change.
The ''war to end war" has not yet
been success. Ireland bursts
forth with fury and brothers kill
brothers because they think differ
emily.
In Germany, Berlin is hated by
inhabitants of outlying districts be-
cause it represents the government
of oppression. Unionist and Social
lists strike work and consume a
hundred million hours to protest
against the murder of Minister
Rathenau.
China fights4the north against
the southland thousands die. In
dia, with crowded prisons, seethes
with venom. Civilization is vol
cano, much more deadly then his
toric mountains that hurled forth
fire and ruined cities.
1t may be madness, but it also
suggest that some other remedy
than war is needed to bring about
adjustment of mans relations with
himself.
After all, humanity is not self
guiding. Breaking away from its
moorings it seems unable to find a
safe channel without help.
It's worth thinking about, and
thinking seriously.

TOMATO GROWING.
Effort To Lower Cost OF Product
Successful In Cecil County.

Successful In Cecil county.
A definite effort to lower the cos
of producing tomatoes for canning
by the application Of methods which
will materially increase the yield
per acre will be undertaken in the
tomato growing sections of the State
this year by representatives of the
University of Maryland Extension
Service, it was announced by DR..
Thomas B. Symons, director.
Maintenance of the canning indus
try in the State on it's previous ex-
tensive scale depends to a very con-
siderable extent on the ability OF
tomato growers to keep the cost OF
production down to the same level
at which the crop can be grown in
other states, says DR.. Symons.
Last year growers of tomatoes
in Cecil county through the assist
ance of County Agent A. D. Rade-
baugh and w. R. Ballard, specialist
in vegetable gardening for the Uni
versity of Maryland Extension Ser
svice, demonstrated that higher
yields of tomatoes are possible by
following comparatively simple
methods of production" explains
DR.. Symons.
The method used in Cecil county
consisted of a cooperative plant bed
on the farm of Wallace Williams at
Chesapeake City where nearly mill
lion tomato plants were grown.
Sixty growers, with total of 225
acres, secured their entire supply OF
plants from this bed which had the
personal supervision of Mr.. Rade-
baugh. The result was that the
plants grown were of exceptionally
good quality and were ready to set
in the field the last week in May.
Practically all planting was COM
pleted by the first week in June.
County Agent Radebaugh used
every effort to have the fields prop
erly, prepared flor the plants but the
treatment varied according to the
characteristics of the grower. The
average yields, however, on the 225
acres was eight tons per acre COM
pared to an average for the balance
of the county of tons per- acre and
to an average for the State of 3.5
tons per acre.
According to DR.. Symons the CO.
operative plan of producing plants
followed in Cecil county last year is
one which can be worked out to ad-
vantage in every county of the State
where tomatoes are grown on
large scale. The benefit resulting
from this method of producing
plant, DR.. Symons explains, consists
in using methods which produce
strong, vigorous plants which are
ready to set in the field earlier than
usual, thus extending the bearing
season of the crop. 1t is possible
for growers to cooperate and grow
enough plants for communities in
every county by following this meth
cd, according to DR.. Symons, just as
was done in Cecil county last year.
Meetings will soon be held in a
number of the tomato growing
counties. of the State in an effort to
interest growers in the scheme.
Messrs. Radebaugh and Ballard
will attend and explain to the grow
ers and Gamers the manner in which
the demonstrations can be conduct
ed.

WOMEN INCOME TAX PAYERS.


Thousands of women are required
to file an income tax return and pay
a tax on their net income for the
year 1922. No official estimate can
be given of the number of such wo-
men, but statistics of income for the
year 1920, recently issued, show
that approximately $4,000 women
filed returns for that year, claiming
the $1,000 exemption allowed a
single person. The amount of net
income reported by these women
was $1,264,955,727. In addition
there were filed 1872, 181sreturns by
women claiming an exemption of
$4,000 as the head of a family, "a
person who supports and maintains
in one household one or more indi-
viduals closely related to him Cor
herr by blood, marriage or adop-
tion." Net income reported by these
women for the year 1920 amounted
to $38S,364,530. Under the revenue
act now in force the personal exemp-
ton allowed the head of family is
$4,000 if the net income for 1922
was $4,000 or less, and $4,000 if
the net income exceeded $4,000.
The number of wives making sep
arate returns from husbands for the
year 1920 was 1858 reporting net
income of ,4O5., These
figures show the income reported in
returns filed by women forms an
important part of the aggregate in
come of the people of the United
States.
A woman widowed during the
year 1922, unless the head of a
family, or remarked on or before
December 81, 1922, may claim a
personal exemption of only $1,000.
A divorce, or wife who continuous
ly and without necessity makes her
home apart from her husband :. is
classed as single person, and en-
titled only to the $1,000 personal
exemption.
Whether man and wife are civ
ing apart" for the purpose of the in
come tax law, depends upon indi-
vidual circumstances. A wife who
supports an invalid husband in a
sanitarium may claim the exemption
allowed married couple. The
separation is one of necessity.
The revenue act does not prescribe
the amount of the exemption allow
ed married woman living with her
husband. Married couples living
together are granted an exemption
of $4,000 or $4,000 depending upon
whether their combined net income
is $4,000 or less, or more than
$4,000. Husband and wife may
make separate returns, or they
make a joint return. In the event
separate returns are made, either
husband or wife may claim the
exemption allowed married persons,
or they may divide it between them
in such proportion as they choose.
The period for filing income tax
returns ends at midnight March Is.
