MARYLAND POWER
FIGHT is OPENED

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, March 1.-The open-
ing encounter in the Calvert County
power war took place before the Public
Service Commission yesterday. when
the suburban Electric Power Co. and
the Consolidated Gas & Electric Co.
OF Baltimore asked for permission to
supply electric service for Chesapeake
Beach and North Chesapeake Beach.
ATTORNEYS representing the Console
oated at the hearing declared the Con-
Soldated, under an old State wide fran
chise. could extend its lines into anv
section OF the State without securing
any local county or township fran
chiSe
The lines Of the Annapolis, Chesa-
peake Bay Power Co., subsidiary of
the Consolidated, have been extended
to the Calvert County line. This COM
pany applied to the county commas
sioners of Calvert County for permits
sion to extend lines into that county.
This application was denied.
The Consolidated, in its own name.
then entered the field and applied for
permission to join on with the lines of
its subsidiary and extend service to
North and Chesapeake Beaches. The
SUBURBAN Co. previously had applied
for authority to run its lines from
Harmony to the two beaches.
All small power companies through
out the State will be in danger Of ex-
tinction If the commission permits the
more powerful Consolidated to invade
their territories in such a manner,
counsel for the Suburban Co. declared.
One of the main contentious pre-
sented by the Consolidated is that it
can render cheaper service minus q
service connection charge to each Gus
toner.

greater volume than a year ago. Besides.
domestic wheat crop advices were cur

Argentine shippers We're reported to-
day as pressing wheat for sale in Europe

TO be disposed of while afloat
on ocean passage. Inasmuch as
British and Southern European con-
tinental ports were the only ones open
TO navigation at present. these outlets
were reported as temporarily being
flooded with supplies at relatively cheap
prices. Meanwhile heavy world ship

Fruit growers throughout the
State, and especially those in Kent
county, will be interested to learn
that. the codling moth life history
and control work, which has been
carried on in the fruit belt during
the past eight years under the di-
rection of the agricultural extension
department and the experiment sta

will be continued another year in
view of the fact that this insect re-
mains as one of our most serious
pests attacking our apple orchards.
Observation cages containing the
larvae of the codling moth have
been placed in several of the apple
orchards in Kent county each spring
for the purpose of securing more
definite information concerning the
life history changes and the dates of
adult emergence in order that the
fruit growers may be informed as to
the right time to apply the sprays
containing the arsenicals.
The plan of this work, however,
was changed in 1928 when it was de-
cided to place these observation
cages in the orchards in the fall OF
