Give Twelve Reasons
For Davis Election
Democrats Name All Campaign
Issues in Arguments for Their
Presidential Candidate.

Washington, D. C.-Tvelve reasons
why John w. Davis anG charles w.
Bryan should be elected ol November
have been offered by voters in Wash
ington, D. c., and are now being used
by speakers in the campaign in various
parts of the country. All the leading
issues in the presidential contest are
stated in epitome in the twelve rea-
sons.
Here are the reasons the Democrats
are advancing for the election of their
presidential and vice-presidential can
didates:
1. Davis and Bryan are progress.
sives, have clean records and are men
of outstanding ability.
2. They would raise national ad.
ministration from insignificant medic
Gritty to dignity and distinction.
8. They are not only honest them.
selves, but they would demand and
enforce honesty in all parts of the gov
eminent.
4. They would turn out rascals and
replace them with conscientious pub
lie servants.
S. They are the enemies of the pro
tective high tariff which takes money
out of the pockets of the general pub
lie to put it into the pockets of an al
ready rich favored class.
6. They believe that public Office is
a public trust and not a private graft
z. They believe in an erect, re
sponsible foreign policy whereby
America will frankly and courageously
take her place in the council of ma
tions instead of pussy footing through
the back door or sitting on the door
step.
8. They believe in equitable taxa
ton. They do NOT believe in remov
ing taxes from the excessively ricl
and keeping them on the less for
tunate, as the Mellon plan proposed.
g.. They believe labor as well a:
capital should get a square deal.
10. They pledge themselves to thu
Democratic policy of benefits for al
the people as opposed to special favor'
to special classes.
II. They advocate the ratification
of the Child Labor Amendment to thu
Constitution, and the >protection o
women in industry.
~. Their election means honesty a
home, honor abroad and world peac.
and prosperity.

"7he Arab" Rex ingram,
Picture AT The Century

"The Arab" Rex Ingram's first
Metro production since "Scara-
mouche," will be shown at the Cen
fury Theatre, Baltimore, Md, during
the week beginning Monday, October
IL. This production is based on Ed
gar Selwyn's sensationally successful
stage play and it was filmed in AL
geria and Tunisia IN North Africa.
"The Arab" is an exciting story of
the love OF a sheik's son for the
daughter of an American missionary;
the attempted massacre Of the Chris
tians by the Governor of the, Turkish
province; and their rescue by the
Arabs own warriors.
Ramon Novarro and Alice Terry,
who played the leading roles in Oscar
mouche," have the principal parts in
"The Arab" It~is said that they ap-
pear to better advantage than ever
lefore. The background and costumes
are authentic, since Mr.. Ingram took
his company to Northern Africa to
obtain the real atmosphere.
Solos will be rendered by Margaret
Reeve, contralto, in special musical
act. Miss Keever has just returned
from season as the soloist with Yes
sili's Atlantic City Steel Pier Band.
She was with that band also while
they were in Florida. She will be &C
companied by the Century Theatre
Symphony Orchestra, conducted by
George Wild.

Well-fattened beef animals weigh
ing from 800 to 1900 pounds have
been in demand on livestock markets
during recent years, rather than ami
malls of greater weight. This has been
the result of a demand by beef con-
sumers for lightweight, high-grade
cuts. Such a demand, says the U. S.
Department of Agriculture, must nee
essarily be supplied by well-finished
animals from IL to 20 months old car

For more than 80 years the Wealth
er Bureau of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture has been an
earnest advocate of the protection of
buildings and other property against
lightning by suitable rodding. The
bureau is frequently called upon to
advise inquirers concerning the prop
er methods and materials to be en-
ployed. Occasionally plans are drawn
up in detail for the protection of Gov
eminent structures. In 1910 the White
House was rodded after plans and
specifications prepared by Professor
Marvin.
To determine the relative liability
of farm buildings to fire damage by
a study of lightning fire losses was
made recently by the Weather Burea';
Of the U. S. Department Of Agricul-
ture. The average annual loss for
the whole United States is little
over $12,OOO,OOO which is probably a
conservative figure. Illinois has the
unenviable first place, with an aver
age annual loss of over million dol
lars, part Of which may be attributed
to industrial sections. Texas is next
in order because of it's large area and
the presence Of highly infammable
oil-storage tanks. New York is third,
for reason similar to those affecting
Illinois. In the highly developed ag-
ricultural States of the North heavy
losses are suffered, especially thru
destructive cyclonic thunder storms.
If the index number showing relative
liability of farm buildings to damage
is small in one State when compared
with an other having equally de"
structive and frequent thunderstorms
it is quite probable that protection a.
gainst lightning is more general in
the former State. Michigan, Wiscon-
| sin, Minnesota, and Iowa are States
, where it is estimated that somewhat
more than half of the farm buildings
are protected by rodding.

Agricultural club boys, competing
in the junior dairy judging contest az
the National Dairy Show, Milwaukee,
Wis.,, maintained the reputation of
Maryland as one of the leading daily
states by placing fourth in the event
which twenty champion State teams
endeavored to win, according to word
received by DR.. Thomas B. Symons,
director Of the University of Mary
land Extension Service, from H. B.
Derrick, county agent of Kent county.
The Maryland team, composed Of
Amos Hotter, Frederick county, Will
lis Cissel, of Howard county, and Mar
tir. Sutton, of Kent county, was Sc
lected at the State dairy cattle judg-
ing contest at the Timonium Fair in
September. The trip with all ex.
penses paid was offered by the Fair
Association as the prize to the three
boys scoring highest vim the State
contest.
In the Milwaukee contest Amos
Hotter led the Maryland boys by plac-
ing fourth. Willis Cissel finished
twenlfth while Martin Sutton stood
twenty seventh. State teams ranked
as follows: Iowa, first; Nebraska,
second; Minnesota, third; Maryland,
fourth; and Indiana, fifth.
The showing made by the Maryland
team is considered highly ,satisfac-
tory, according to DR.. Synons, and
gives the club boys consistent five
year record among the leading teams
in the country. ut indicates" he
says, "that the instruction they have
received, the help that they have had
from the leading dairymen Of the
State and the herds which they have
had the opportunity of studying dur
ing their training rank with the best
in the country"
Teams representing Maryland in
the national contest in former years
placed as follows: 1920, fourth; 1921,
fifth; 1922, first, 1923, eight.

AGRICULTURE

Information on which Insurance
companies establish their rates for
rain insurance is based as far as prac-
ticable upon statistics of average rain
fall for various parts of the country,
including the distribution of rainfall
through the year and for the various
hours of the day, obtained from rec
ords Of the Weather Bureau of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture. In determining the amount
of rainfall that has occurred in par
ticular place during period covered
by policy, the companies also make
use of the official records of the
Weather Bureau whenever there is a
station of the bureau at, the place in
question. There are more than 5000
Weather Bureau stations of all kinds
including cooperative stations, in the
United States, all of which are equip.
/ ped with standard rain guages. How
ever, at the great majority of these
stations the rain guages do not make
a continuous automatic record, and
therefore special arrangements must
be made with the observers if read
ings are desired for times other than
the regular hours of observation.
Where there is no Weather Bureau
observer available, the company's
agent and the policy holder jointly
select a competent person to read, at
the required time, a rain guage which
| is furnished by the insurance COM
pany. There are about 80 companies
writing rain insurance in this country.
They have organized Rain Insur-
ance Association with headquarters in
New York City, and one of its princi-
pal functions is to ,maMtan a list OF
persons throughout, the country who
are qualified to read rain guages.

The preparation for market Of
yearlings, or baby beeves, requires
more skill than is necessary for the
production of animals marketed at
more mature ages, on account Of their
tendency to grow rather than to fat.
ten. To fatten yearlings successful
ly, they must be placed on a fattening
ration when they arg weaned and
kept on full feed until they are ready
for marketing. Every effort should
be made to get the calves through the
weaving period without loss of their
milk fat. The grain ration should be
increased so as to permit as little
change in their rate of growth in fall
tening as possible. Some feeders build
"creeps" in the pastures or lots so
that the calves can get their grain
without being disturbed by cows.
Creeps consist of small pens with c.
penings which permit only the calves
to enter. These openings may have
rollers on each side to prevent bruis-
ing the calves.
/ Calves from heavy milking cows
should be weaned gradually over a
period of 10 TO Is days. Fall calves
should not be weaned until after the
cows and calves are on grass. Spring
calves should either be kept on grass
after weaving in the fail, 'or be given
some succulent feed such as silage.
1t is advisable to provide them with
winter pasturage such as wheat, oats,
rye, or barley when soil and. climatic
conditions permit.

Over $1,000 negro farm homes used
better selected food during 1923 as a
result of cooperative extension work,
according to reports to the United
States Department of Agriculture. In
many cases this was accomplished by
growing more home garden products
and keeping pigs, poultry, and dairy
animals for which sufficient feed
crops were produced on the farm.

FARMERS SHOULD COOPER
ATE IN POISONING MAGPIES

1t has been called to our attention
that the magpies are becoming very
numerous and troublesome in many
of the communities. Magpies in
large quantities can do an enormous
amount of damage in the rural dis
tricts not only because of the amount
of food consumed, but because they
are carriers of communicable dis
eases. You are always in danger of
having hog cholera, blackleg, ETC.,
carried to your livestock if there are
magpies in your community. They
also destroy the eggs of many of our
valuable birds.
In every community where this
pest is found the farmers should
work together in controlling them.
One farmer can do nothing unless
his neighbors will assist 1t would
be well to make it community pro-
ject and spread poison thruout the
district. If this is done results will
be assured. We should not allow
them to accumulate without an effort
against them. Let's poison the mag
pies now.
Magpies may be controlled by
poisoning with strychnine as fol-
lows: Cut piece of hog rind leav-
ing about one-fourth inch of fat on |
the rind. Checker this with knife |
into on-half inch squares. Work the
into this scored surface.
Nail the rind to a post or tree, being
sure that it is out of the reach of
poultry and children.
Strychnine can be purchased at
cost at the farm bureau office 1t
cannot be sent thru the mail

SHOULD PLANT PEAS EARLY
Seed May Be Put Into Ground as Soon
az Freezing Weather
10 Over.

Peas can be planted almost as soon
as the frost Is out Of the ground. the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture says. One pint of seed will
plant 100 feet Of row. One hundred
feet Of row will yield four to six pick
ings Of sufficient quantity to supply a
family OF five over period Of about
eight or ten days. The important
point in providing a continuous sup
ply of peas is to make at least three.
and preferably four, paintings. The
first planting should be one of the ex-
tremely early sorts; the second plant
Ing, which should follow just a few
days later, should be one Of the in
termediate sorts like Gradus, and the
third planting may be Telephone or
tall growing sort, about two weeks
after the first planting.

Farm Bureau News
Edited by the County Agent

stripe running down the back
Larvae are most numerous from
about June / until the time when the
first crop of alfalfa is cut, but they
may be found, after the very early
spring, at any time during the grow
ing season. The average length of
the larval stage is about three weeks.
The Pupal Stage
When the larva becomes fully de-
veloped it enters the pupal stage, in
which it undergOes change of form,
issuing as an adult in about two
weeks. The pupal stage is passed in
round ,filmy, lace-like cocoon found
usually in a curled leaf at the base
of plant.
Adults feed on green alfalfa stems
and leaves thruout the season, but do
not injure the plants greatly. Larvae
feed on tender tips and developing
buds, often preventing further
growth. After they become numer-
GUS, they make their way to the
leaves and stems, where they live un-
til fully grown Injured plants may
have but fiber and tissue left when
time for the first cutting arrives, and
a badly infested field assumes a gray,
lifeless appearance.
Injury to First Crop
Larvaf injury on the first crop is
very severe. In badly infested field
there are countless numbers of
worms ravenously feeding on the
green foliage. Many of these die
from exposure after removal of the |
first crop hay, but others make their
way to the stubble and developing |
second-crop shoots.
Injury to Second Crop
Larvae soon chew off most of the
epidermis of the stubble and the
amount of food furnished by tender,
buds is so limited that
hey devour it as fast as it can de-
7elop and growth is impossible until
after most of the larvae have en-
cred the pupal stage and ceased
eeding.
Little damage is done to the third
rop, altho the crop is usually light
because of being retarded.
The loss of quantity of hay sus-
aimed from alfalfa weevil in badly
infested fields probably averages
rom 25 to 40 per cent, tho records
t from SO to rs per cent have not
cen uncommon The quality of hay
Injured by weevil is so poor that adj
itional loss from this source doubt
sss is as great as the loss in
uantity.
Injury to Seed
An infestation that would be con-
dered of little Importance in a hay
cid is often sufncient to render seed
reduction Improbable. Since
lrvae feed in the newly developing
ps almost entirely, they destroy
lossom buds and prevent seed de-
elopment. s

suitable for planting close to the

A bed of flowers may well be used to

HOW TO MOVE THE
DECIDUOUS PLANTS
Trees and Shrubbery Should
Not Be Disturbed While
Showing Growth.

Deciduous plants are ordinarily
moved when dormant or during the
period from little before the leaves
drop in the autumn, until growth
starts in the spring. With extra care
they may be moved at other times
The secret of successful transplanting
is getting good root growth started
before top growth makes too heavy
demands upon the roots. In cool
moist climates there is not the same
care demanded as in warmer or drier
ones. If possible, plants should be
put in their permanent places immedi-
ately. Otherwise, they should be put
In the ground temporarily to prevent
their drying out. states the United
