KEEPING COWS MEANS $2O1,
O2O EXTRA INCOME FOR
THIS COUNTY

An added income of $201,020 g
year is enjoyed by Cecil county far
mers indirectly as a result of keep
ing cows, according to the Larrowe
Institute of Animal Economics
This income is in the form of more
fertile soil due to the manure of the
dairy cows in this county. On the
basis of practically $4,000 ferti
lizer valuation per animal per year
this means total OF $201,02O add
ed to the richness OF the soil in this
county every twelvemonth.
Manure is a source OF the most
valuable plant food obtainable, says
the Institute, but to preserve it al
it's highest value or efficiency. il
should either be put directly to the
fields each day or conserved unit
such, time as the opportunity offers
itself to spread it. Feeding trials
have proven that an ordinary cow
while putting from Is to Ii per cent
of the total energy Of the feed she
consumes into milk, actually returns
to the soil 80 per cent OF the
elements of soil fertility in her feed
in the form of manure. This hat
led many dairymen to discover that
the purchase of good concentrate
feeds for their cows not only more
than pays for itself in increased
milk production but that it also
supplies necessary food to farm
crops that are expensive when
bought in the form of commercial
fertilizer.

Robert Morris, Fiinancier

Not burning for independence, y
like Samuel Adams, but a man of
soberer judgment, cooler reason and
equal love of freedom from tyranny,
Robert Morris, "Financier of the
Revolution" absented himself from
his seat in Congress on July 4, 1776,
when the Declaration OF Indepen-
dence was submitted for approval
Bob Morris Gas he often signed
himself) was a signer of the famous
document, the one hundred and
fiftieth anniversary of which will be
celebrated by the Centennial
International Exposition in Phila-
delphia this year, but he did not
affix his name until August 2, when
the engrossed Declaration was laid
on the table to be signed.
For long time he, believed that
the Colonies were not yet ready for
independence, but his final signature
was not inconsistent with his former
hesitation, for much had happened
in the brief month between the two
dates. Such signature as his
leaves little doubt as to his sin
cerity-large, clear, steady and de-
void of entangling flourish in it's
march across the page.

PERSHING AND SOUSA INVITED
FOR GREAT FLAG DAY
MEMORIAL,

In keeping with the patriotic
aspect of this, the Sesqui-Centennial
year, Mayor Kendrick, of Philadel-
phia, in which city the celebration of
the one hundred and tiftieth an
niversary of the signing Of the
Declaration of Independence will be
commemorated by an international
exposition, has arranged the most
colorful observance of Flag Day
ever held.
According to plans recently an
nounced by William w. Matos, chair
man of the committee in charge OF
this event, three days will be de-
voted to the celebration, beginning
June IA, Flag Day. Its central
figure will be a large parade and
pageant in the stadium on the
Sesqui-Centennial grounds.
General John j. Pershing will be
invited to act as Grand Marshal in
charge of the military aspect OF
the celebration and Lieutenant-Com-
mander John Philip Sousa as Band
master. The American March KING
will also be requested by the Sesqui,
Centennial authorities to compose 6
special Flag Day march to be heard
for the first time on this occasion.

the hills we passed the matched
huts of the natives, many of them
covered with towering vines. The
market women, men, boys and girls
were walking along, erect and fear
less with\ bundles and baskets on
their heads. Little gray donkeys
with panniers slung across their
backs. one basket possibly containing
a bunch of bananas and the other
filled with bundles of herbe-grass,
possibly sitting erect on the dom
keys back between the baskets
would be a native woman with her
nude infant in her arms. Such a
strange rabble. One could hardly
reconcile the modern automobile and
the primitive way of locemotien of
the natives The contrast was al
most beyond imagination.
AS we descended the palm clad
hills we could see the blue water of
the harbor, set like a sapphire in
the hills OF emerald green. This
view brought to my mind Turner's
pictures in the Tate Gallery in
London.
After spending short time in the
shops we returned to Sergt. Halls
for luncheon. The luncheon was
delicious and had been prepared by
native cook. She was queer

ROTATION

A number of years ago the
Gettysburg Battlefield Commission, a
body of experts" appointed for
political reasons, tried to reproduce
the famous peach orchard which was
the scene of some of the tiercest
fighting on this noted battlefield.
After repeated failures to get the
trees to thrive member of the
Commission asked nearby farmer
the cause of their unsuccessful
efforts. He told them the only way
to get good results from the soil
was by rotation Of crops. Every
farmer knows this.
The same principal applies to the
. Office holders in Cecil county. There
are some mighty stale and sore
spots in the county offices and new
crops should be planted next fall
in order to produce a taxpayers
harvest during the next four years.
To get good results it is necessary
to select good seed.
Since the passage of the Direct
Primary Election Law it seems
that the standard of Office hold
ers has been lowered, and as
all the offices to be filled
this fall will be for four years,
it behooves everyone interested
in good County government,-and
everyone should be,-tO see that no
one except competent persons be Sc
lected. 1t is to be hoped that we
will not have the usual horde of can
didates hunting for jobs, but that
those only who are fully qualified
will receive any encouragement to an
nounce themselves. In other words
let the Office seek the man.
Cecil county has men of high
character and fully competent of
filling these positions, so why be
bothered by host of gladhand
shoulder slappers whose only claim
on the voters support is that he is 9
good fellow" Now is the time to
clean house. The thoughtful people
are in a position to make the nomi-
nations and everyone interested in
county affairs should do his part to
discourage all incompetents from
trying to secure pledges or votes
soley for the latter's personal gain.
and at the expense of the public
good.
If such a course is taken the tax
rate could be lowered to $1.0O,
where it belongs, and the enormous
waste of the past and which now
exists could be stopped.

MODERN CHICK MUST BE
HATCHED EARLY TO RING
CASH REGICTER

The early bird gets the worm, and
the farmer who matches his chicks
early is laying the foundation for
profitable egg production next win
ter, according to the Larrowe Insti-
tute of Animal Economics. Novem-
eggs instead of January as in former
years, and progressive farmers are
finding that it pays to advance
Matching formerly done in May and
June to February and March.
While winter is normally the sea-
son of dormant reproduction in
poultry, the farmer who applies the
few basic principles OF poultry scul-
ture will find that he is able to get
satisfactory production from his
flock during the cold months, the
Institute states. The use of good
blood is the first prerequisite; early
Matching is important; third, there
must be constant growth from the
time the pullet pops out of the egg
until she lays one, and plentiful
feeding of egg-making food during
the laying. Especially important is
the matter of proper feeding, for
without the right kind and quaint
ties of feed the factors will be of
little avail.
The advantages of early Matching
are enumerated by the Institute as
follows: Early Matched chicks are
less susceptible to the common
poultry diseases, make good nor

mer and come into laying condition
when eggs are in excellent demand
at satisfactory price. Under aver

A TRIP TO THE TROPICS
IN 1925

Miss Beningna Holm, OF Wash
ington, who has many friends in our
town where she taught for numb Der
of years in the public school, contrib
utes the following we'll written and
very interesting account of her trip
to Panama, during the month of
December.
Our readers, we are sure, will
enjoy following Miss Holm, as she
tells her experiences and the many
interesting sights seen in the tropics,
in very entertaining manner.
On Saturday, December II, 1925,
at 4:3O P. M, we sailed from New
York on the S. S. Panama for
Christobal, Canal Zone.
Twilight was falling over the city
as we passed down the river. The
tall buildings doomed like gray
ghosts on both sides of us, the lights
twinkling in the windows like fiery
eyes. The Goddess of Liberty was
like gray nun in her draperies, the
light in her hand pointing heaven
ward as we passed by.
Shortly after getting out to sea,
we were summoned to dinner by the
welcome sound OF the dinner gong
AS everyone was by this time quite
hungry we enjoyed our first dinner
and felt prepared for our voyage.
Since we had had busy day we
decided to retire early. We gave
our staterooms once over and after
humorous mistakes we finally slowed
ourselves away for the night. We
were awake the next morning in
time to see Old Sol slip up out of
the sea-. When my pal started to
dress she realized that she was in
deed at sea, and for thirty-six hours
she was well aware of the fact.
The air became warmer and more
balmy as each hour passed by. The
sea never ceased to smile upon us, it
also seemed to grow bluer and
bluer.
On Monday the crew donned their
summer uniforms and they looked
spic and span all dressed in their
white duck and brass buttons. We,
too, cast aside our winter garments
and put on our summer attire. One
could hardly realize the joy OF STEP
ping into summer in this delightful
way.
We sailed on, having ideal wealth
err, each and every sunrise and sun
set long to be remembered picture.
As we approached the tropics the
days grew longer, the stars larger
and brighter, the moon was now q

On Wednesday we saw the coast
of Cuba, like a gray cloud on the
horizon, and early Thursday morn
ing we entered the harbor of Port.

kimonos, pulled on our bedroom
slippers and hurried on deck. The

the hills, the lower star in the con
stellation looked like a beacon lighi
on the mountain. Now, we watched
the sun rise. The sky gradually be
came brighter and brighter, the
gray hills changed to green, tipped
with gold and crimson.
AS dawn broke, the broad anc
open harbor became visible with the
green hills descending to the water:

around like chickens huddled under
the wings of their mother. The ba,
