TWO CONTEST HENS GO OVER
THE 200 EGG MARK

Two hens of the thousand which
are entered in the Maryland State
Egg Laying Contest at the Univer-
sity of Maryland Experiment Station
have produced better than two humid
red eggs and with nineteen weeks
ahead of them before the close OF the
contest have an opportunity of max
ing most commemorate records, it is
announced by Roy H. Waite, contest
supervisor.
With the end of the thirty-third
week, Hen No. LAT in the pen OF
George B. Ferris, Grand Rapids,
Michigan, stood in the lead with a
total production of 205 eggs. Be-
hind by two eggs was hen No. % in
the entry of the Ideal Poultry Farm,
Ellicottville, N. Y.
While Maryland entries do not
control any of the high positions,
the average production of Maryland
birds to date is 1851 eggs or close
to the average for the cnntest as a
whole.
Egg grading scales have been put
in each pen and all eggs are weighed
at the time of gathering, it is an
nounced. No account is taken of
the weights, other than minimum
weights, in computing standings but
the weight records are interesting
for study and should prove useful to
the owner. in planning his breeding
work. Considerable interest is be-
ing manifested in weight of eggs as
well as in numbers and it probably
will not be many years before the
weight will be given consideration
in figuring contest winners.

PLANT DISEASES MAKE SERIOUS

Plant diseases, which in the ag-

agriculture's most serious problems
and their control is matter OF
prime Importance to the farmer who
wants to have his balance on the
right side of the ledger at the end OF
the year, say plant disease special
lists at the University of Maryland.
While crop losses attributed to
plant diseases of one kind or another
vary from year to year, they are al
ways large and must be borne by
growers, dealers or consumers. thus
entailing direct and very consider
able economic waste.
Estimates for more important
crops grown in Maryland place los
SEES from plant diseases at more than
three and a half million bushels OF
potatoes, 343,OOO bushels Of apples
100000 bushels of sweet potatoes
1900 bushels of oats, $1,000 bush
els of pears, and 1900 bushels of
peaches.
In addition, it is estimated that
the losses due to diseases amount to
268 per cent OF the tomato cror
while bean diseases take toll OF
four per cent of the total.
Most plant diseases, however, car
be controlled and the losses due to
them can be materially reduced and
sometimes almost wholly prevented
Methods vary with the plant and the
disease, but the most common con-
troll methods consist in the use of re-
sistant or immune varieties, seed
treatment, seed selection. spraying
busting, sanitation, control of in
sects which carry diseases. increas

no other organization has more thar
and approximately 35 organizations
have but l."
The chief point of issue between the
Y. M. c. A. and A. A. u, DR.. Brown
emphasizes, is "the arbitrary ruling
of the A. A. u. that athletes of differ
ent bodies wishing to compete togeth-
err must first register individually and
become members of the A. A. u. They
also are required to join the A. A. u.
as clubs to secure a sanction to hold
meets, for which q fee is required in
addition to the club membership fee" "
Expressing his opinion that the
A. A. u. is chiefly concerned in get
ting control of star athletes after
they give promise of becoming ma
tional champions or candidates for the
Olympic games," DIR. Browns state
ment concludes:
THE A. A. u. will not even permit
young men participating in tourna-
ments organized by the Y. M. G. A..
to compete, representing their indus
tries, churches or schools in basket
ball, track and field athletics, wres-
tling, swimming and other sports,
even when these events are organized
entirely for the mutual benefit and en-.
Joyment of those concerned.
Fundamentally this is the real r'ea-
son why the Y. NJ. G. A. is opposed to
the A. A. u. controlling the American
Olympic committee and why the Y.
M. G. A. has withdrawn it's MEM
bership."

If Cobb goes to the Athletics he will

There is enough good in the team to

mendous reserve force in it's real

Two clubs in the National League
would like to get Cobb. New York is
one of them. Chicago would go after
him. In Chicago Ty would get as
great an ovation, if his season were
successful. as he would get in New
York. Perhaps 1t would be greater.
If the Cubs can win 10 more games in
1927 they have a chance to get some
thing more out of the season than
lusty approval, as they got last year
If Cobb should put the Cubs on their
pennant feet he would be a greater
idol than ever he was in Detroit at
the height of his greatest success.
The Yankees would give Cobb a sal
ary as high as he got from Detroit.
But they are not raising any ante

Browns and the Athletics are accorded
