EGG LAYING CONTEST

While it seems like looking a long
way ahead. the time is approaching
FOR poultry breeders who want en-
tries in the next Maryland Egg Lay
ing Contest to begin preparations for
Matching, according to R. H. Waite,
head of the University of Maryland
poultry department and superinten-
dent of the laying contest.
The proper Matching season. says
Mr.. Waite, ranges from early March
for some of the larger strains of the
general purpose breeds, to April
fifteenth for the early maturing
strains of white Leghorns. For best
records in the laying contest, pullets
lust ripening into maturing should
he available November l when the
next contest will start.
In commenting on entries in the
present contest, Mr.. Waite calls at
tention to the fact that, owing to
the late announcement of the con-
test, many breeders were forced tc
enter immature pullets of the
larger breeds and birds Matched toe
early in the case of the early matur
ing strHiNs of the white Leghorns.

CLOVER SEED

Unless farmers can be sure OF the
source of their red clover seed this
spring, they had better plant mix
ture of alsike clover and alfalfa, ac-
cording to ]. T.. Metzger, agronomist
for the University of Maryland Elk
pertinent Station.
There have been so many failures
with the red clover crop in recent
years that rather exhaustive trials
have been conducted by many State
experiment stations in cooperation
with the United States Department
of Agriculture to locate the cause OF
the trouble. says Mr.. Metzger.
Recent reports on these tests, in
which seed from many domestic and
foreign sources was used, show that
red clover seed produced in Ten
nessee and Ohio gave slightly better
crops than Maryland seed. Mime
sofa grown seed, however, pro
duced less than half as much as
seed from nearby sources. In fact
Maryland red clover seed produced
as we'll in Machigan and Ohio as
seed grown in those states.
The tests make it clear, says Mr.;
Metzger, that Maryland farmer
should buy red clover seed growr
in northern states from foreig-
sources only as a last resort. See
from Maryland or nearby statesl
recommended whenever it is avail
able. II it cannot be obtained fror
these sources, mixture of alsikf
clover and alfalfa is suggested ar
likely to be more satisfactory than
poor quality red clover.

WESTERN MARYLAND COLLEGE
CAMPAIGN

| The authorities of Western Mary
land College announce the success
full completion of their Campaign
for $625,0O0. $125,OOO of this
amount was appropriated by the last
Legislature of Maryland on condi-
tion that the college should raise ad-
ditional endowment of $3.50, 600.
The Rockefeller Foundation made
pledge of $125,OOO conditioned on
the college raising $375,000 for en-
dowment. The appropriation by
the State is for a new building,
while the Rockefeller gift is for En-
dowment. The successful conclu<
sion of the campaign means that
100000 will be added to the en-
dowment fund of Western Maryland
College, and a new building erected
on the campus.
The making of a Greater Western
Maryland College is assured. The
college has had an enviable success
from it's very beginning, and with
these added resources the future is
very bright for this institution. A
revision of the curriculum is being
worked out. This revision will
raise the standards of the institu-
ton considerably, making it posi-
BILE for the work given at Western
Maryland College to be done as eff
GENTLY as in any other institution.
The friends of the college are to be
congratulated upon the success ora
campaign which means so much for
the college and for its service to the
State.and to the Nation.
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1926-02-12

With the exception of Ohio and
New York it is not often that any
state has Governor who is looked
upon by the country at large as
being good Presidential timber.
Maryland, however, now has this
distinction in the person of Albert
C. Richie. His enviable record as
Governor for seven years and his
strongly expressed views on States
rights as against Federal encroach-
ment thereon have placed him in q
commanding position for the Demo
cratic nomination for President.
The % Literary Digest" non
partisan magazine of nationwide
circulation, in its issue OF February
6, coincide in this view and publishes
numerous extracts from editorials
cleaned from the leading papers OF
the country. These coupled with
excerpts from Governor Ritchie's
speeches and the loyalty with which
i. the Maryland delegation stood by
their .'favorite son" at the last
Democratic National convention,
lead the digest" to place him on a
plane with McAdoo, Smith and
Donahay.
With such a strong background
Maryland is to be congratulated on
receiving Governor Ritchie's an
nouncement last week that he would
heed the strong demand OF the state
electorate and stand for reelection
this fall. His unprecedented plural
ity and his increased prestige since
place him as the strongest candidate
either party can nominate.

URGENT NEED OF NEAR EAST
RELIEF

An urgent appeal for help for
children and women under care OF
the Near East Relief is made by
Harold F. Pellegrin, Maryland Di-
rector, following cablegrams from
several sections of the work calling
for immediate aid.
From Barclay Acheson, Director
General of Oversee work, comes this
appeal; Critical situation greatly
intensified by winter weather; the
chains between the foothills of
Mount Hermon and Lebanon are
again echoing with the beseaching
cries of children"
From the Governor of province
in Macedonia: utterly impossible
for refugees to live through the win
ter without continued and imme-
diate help: especially families hav-
ing come recently from Turkey, are
in need of everything"
From Salonica; 1t is roughly esti-
mated that in Salonica there are
10000 widows and children, small
army of poor unfortunates."
Many of these women and chill
dren are in midst of deep SHOWS; they
are in rags and cold, and without
food. Mr.. Pellegrin asks that en-
Urgency subscriptions be made for
them, as quickly as possible, and
that all checks or registered letters
be sent to Maryland Headquarters,
