Landlords Reap Profits
 When Pr0pinquity Fails

Berlin, April 24.-Housing facili- ties arc still so scarce in Berlin that the question of living quarters not infrequently has a deterrent effect on contemplated divorce actions.
 Once a couple Is divorced, each party normally would seek another place to live, but lack of suitable dwellings often eompels them to di- vide up their apartment and con- tinue to reside under the same roof. But such procedure seldom has re- suited successfully. There is usual- ly so much friction that one of the parties eventually gives up. the fight and moves out.

New York, April 24.-The poor little rich boy isn't allowed to have a nickel In his pocket.

ARE FERTILIzERs HIGH !?

Fertilizer is like a tool or machine
in a factory. The measure OF its
value is in the product it produces
When the product increases in value.
the machine, ii its price does not
change, become more profitable, OF
it remains just as profitable il the
price of the machine increases in the
same proportion.
These simple principles of eco
Monies can be applied to any ex-
detrimental data ON the use OF ferti-
lizers. Take, for instance, an actua
test at the Ohio Experiment Station
in which a toal of 1000 pounds OF (;
2-12-2 fertilizer applied on the crop
of a four-year rotation OF corr
oats, wheat and hay, has produced
increases of 1898 bushels OF corn
4.85 bushels of oats, 1876 bushels OF
wheat, and S61 pounds Of hay, per
acre. On December Is, 1918, the
farm prices OF these crops, as given
by the U. S. Department of Agri
69.4 cents; oats, 1872 cents; wheat
SO.4 cents; and hay, $12.06. The
value of the increases from 100
pounds of 1872 fertilizer, based on
1913 crop prices, is S26.9S. Base
on April Is, 1925, prices,-namely
corn 1898 cents, oats AT cents
wheat 14O5 cents and haV Sln AZ
the value Of the increases Is $4O.l2
Under the present market condl
tions,< the probabilities are yer,
great that where fertilizers were
profitable in 1913 they will be eve
more profitable to-day.

HILL PEEVED

John Philip Hill, of Baltimore
City, Maryland's wetest of wet Con-
gresham, is very much peeved be-
cause a speaking engagement was
cancelled by the law-abiding people
of Nebraska. Mr.. Hill is very
anxious to give out advance infor-
nation of invitations and accept
ances, but when the Nebraska
American Legion withdrew the in
vitation to speak before that body,
ON the impulse OF the movement
evidently Mr.. Hill disclosed his feel
ings by showing that he was peeved
and Inundated. He credited the
Anti-Saloon League with causing the
withdrawal. We had not heard
that the League had anything to do
with it but we can hardly under
stand why the American Legion or
any other organization Of people who
stand for law and order would want
a man who talks nothing but booze
ON the program. Mr.. Hill stands
for just one thing and everybody
knows it.

WHAT MAKES A SUCCESSFUL
FARMER i?

After a study of the business
records of 400 farms, covering the
period from 1910 to 1922, the
United States Department OF Agricul-
ture says:
while high crop yields alone do
not insure good farm income, the
yields on the successful farms aver.
aged higher than on the unsuccess-
full farms. In the case of corn, the
average yield on the four best farms
was SO bushels an acre, compared
with A on the four least success
full farms. Similar proportions held
for the other crops. In general, the
men obtaining the best yields kept
considerable livestock, used CONNER
cial fertilizer, drained their land and
lined the soil when necessary, used
good seed of varieties adapted to
local conditions and treated their
seed to prevent diseases, and follow
ed good methods of cultivation.
ION the most successful farms
there was less variation in cropping
systems than on other farms. Thus
the four most profitable farms had
yearly variation of only IA per
cent in their corn acreage, compared
to 81 per cent on the four least
successful farms. Variations in
other crop acreages likewise were
smaller on the most profitable farms.
1t is also found that the most sue
cessful farms usually had as many
fields of equal size as there were
years in the crop rotation followed,
or else they had fields that could
be combined in such way as to
divide the crop acreage into as many
equal parts as there were years in
the crop rotation. In other words,
the best farms had the most scien-
tific layouts."

FRIDAY, JULY 8, 1926

There is to be reorganization OF
the Federal prohibition enforcement
machinery. 1t is announced that
enforcement is to be taken out OF
politics. The country is to be divid-
ed into districts and Senators and
Representatives and local politicians
are to have no voice in appointments.
Delaware, Maryland, the District OF
Columbia and Virginia are to consti-
tute one district with headquarters
at Baltimore. The State directors
are to be dropped and each district
is to have director in charge with
subordinates. The district OF which
Maryland is to be part is very
wet one. 1t will take a big man and
an active force to enforce the law.
The sentiment in most, il not all, OF
the cities of the district lis decidedly
antagonistic. The daily press and
a part of the weekly press is
also intagonistic. Any change that
promises freedom from partizan
control and real effort to enforce
the law without fear and favor is
welcome one. The present system
is far from satisfactory, at times it
has been little more than farcel
The friends of the law look with
favor upon any change that bids fair
to end the scandals and put the
fear of punishment in the heads OF
the bootleggers and the moon
sinners, and above all the so-called
respectable citizens who buy the
poison stuff.

DEPRECIATION OF LAND VALUE
BECOMES ALARMING

Last week the Clements Farm, in
the vicinity OF Locust Grove, was
withdrawn from sale on bid of
$4,000. This is, a typical instance
illustrative of the situation existing
on the Eastern Shore and furnishes
a striking example of the difficulties
surrounding the farming occupation
today and of the wide difference be-
tween the once inflated war values
and the present depreciation OF land
values in Kent and Queen Anne
County.
The same conditions prevail over
a great part of the Shore" A
farming section that was purchased
by the present owner during the
war for $4,000, when it was be-
lieved the purchaser would make
clear profit ON his investment, has
recently been withdrawn from sale
on a total bid of $26,50O. After
five years of toll and frugality he
finds it doesn't pay to farm such
high-priced lands under the present
prevailing conditions of labor and
cost Of materials. The land is just
as productive as ever but the enor-
nous cost of production and the ex-
pense and inferiority of labor, on the
one hand, and the low price OF al
most every kind of crop, on the
other, make it losing proposition.
These conditions are thus keeping
down the value of land in this
community and elsewhere where
similar conditions prevail. II some
thing is not done quickly there will
be not only shortage OF tenants
but fewer investors OF capital in
and.
Kent County is rapidly becoming
a community of milk farmers"
Deprive the farmer of his herds and
he would serve notice on his land-
lord of discontinuance of farming
year. The real estate men of
this section hold that until there can
be change in conditions OF labor,
reduction of costs, together with
corresponding rise in prices OF farm
products, that there will be no ap-
preciable increase in the demand for

The gradual extension of labora-
tory facilities to every part OF Mary
land by the State Department of
Health makes it possible, now, for
every doctor in the state to have
laboratory aid in his treatment OF
cases that come under his care.
Over 5000 analysis and tests have
been made each month, or total OF
more than 10000 in the last six
months, by the State Bureau of
Bacteriology at the Central Labroa
tory in Baltimore and the Branch
Laboratories.
Over $500 examinations made in
connection with the detection and
treatment of diphtheria, led the rest
so far as numbers were concerned.
These included not only tests to
prove the presence of the disease,
but follow-up analysis to show when
the convalescent patient could
safely mingle again with other
people; and also test for the pres
ence of " carriers"
Tests for typhoid, tuberculosis,
malaria, veneral disease, and mis-
cellaneous examinations of various
sorts were also included in the
total.
Specially designed containers are
supplied to physicians so that the
specimens to be examined can be
shipped safely by messenger or
through the mails. Reports of ex-
physicians either by mail or in
urgent cases by long distance tele-
phone messages.
The Central Laboratory forms

to do the actual drilling on its d. M.
O'Connor and Thomas O'Connor leases
in Victoria and Refugio counties with
an agreement for the Gulf Company
to take over whatever wells may prove
to be oil producers and the Houston
Company the gassers.
The d. NJ. O'Connor lease embraces
1900 acres in Victoria County and
1900 in Refugio County, or a total
of 10000 acres. The first well on
this lease will be drilled in Victoria
County in the vicinity of McFaddin.
The derrick timber is on the ground
and seven buildings that will serve
as quarters for the crews are now
under construction.
The Thomas O'Connor lease in
cludes 10000 acres, or not quite half
of Mr.. O'Connor's ranch. The loca-
ton for the first of three wells to be
drilled on this lease is three-eighths
of a mile from the head of Mission
Bay near the Mission River and 10
miles east of Refugio. The derrick is
now under construction and two

EDG|NGTON RETURNS
TO LAREDO FIELDS

MIRANDA CITY, Tex, Nov. 21.-
DR.. A. j.. Edgington has returned to
Texas from California and has locat-
ed in San Antonio. He expects to
spend the major part of his time in
Laredo, where he is vitality interested
in the development of oil territory.
DIR. Edgington took a lease on a
part of the PUG Brothers ranch in
the cast part of Webb county about
four years ago. 1t was far removed
from any producing oil wells. He
plated it into the Edgington Sub
Division and placed it on the market.
Sales were not so fast and then he
interested n number of Kelly Field
filters in drilling well.
The Aviator Oil company was
formed and well was drilled which
came in Zig gasscr making 20 bar
rcls of oil. From this time on the
field has steadily increased in import
ance and today there are several COM
panies engaged in developing parts
Of the Edgington Subdivision and it
is one of the big producing sections
along the Miranda cscarpment.
DIR. Edgington has always been n
big booster for Laredo and its oil ter
ritory and he will be here this winter
and enter into the work of develop
mcnt with q renewed energy after
full summer of vacation.
