CORN FOR sILAGE

Moore food material for stock can
be obtained from an acre OF corn
made into silage than from an acre
of any other crop, in large portion
of the United States. In planting
corn to ensilage, choose a variety
that will mature sufficiently for sill
age before frost. Corn does not
need to be so mature for silage as
for grain, and later maturing va
riety can be used and a greater yield
obtained. There is little, If any, ad-
vantage in planting variety that
produces foliage and stalk at the ex-
pense of grain, as the ears contain
the most valuable part Of the food.
The greater the quantity of grain in
the silage the more nutritious 1t is
and the greater the saving of supple
mentary concentrates.

SHIPPING BROCCOLI

The first carlot shipment of a Dell
Mar-va commodity packed and grad
ed under the requirements and
standards of the Del-Mar-Va Eastern
Shore Association and carrying the
Del-Mar-Va insignia left the PENN
sula for the New York market last
Saturday afternoon.
This shipment was a car of broc-
coli leaving Parksley, Va. 1t was
shipped by Carroll G. Matthews and
]. Abbott Byrd and was consigned to
]. & G. Lippman, prominent commits
sion merchants in New York City.
who with others are taking an active
interest in the Associations market
ing plan.
Under direction of Supervising In
spector, ]. A. Burroughs, of the AS
ISOLATION, it had been graded and
packed in bundles similar to aspara-
gus which were uniform in size and
weight. These were Grated in the
standardized carriers which are stip-
ulated by the Association inspection.
This car went to the market with
the crates iced, the car itself top iced
and with ice filed bunkers. These
requirements were met by the ship
pers in the section using the Del
Mar-Va insignia who are expressing
decided enthusiasm because OF the
splendid results which they have OBJ
tanned since the shipping began.
AS illustration as to what the
marketing plan is accomplishing
with the first crop of this season,
commission men are now quoting
prices on Del-Mar-Va broccoli, using
the name "Del-Mar-Va" as a definite
distinction. Last week in the New
York markets Del-Mar-Va broccoli
was bringing from $3.50 to $500
per crate while in the same marker
the variety shipped in hampers
brought but $50 to $1.OO per hamp-
err. and some of the latter shipments
were being dumped.
A rapidly developing interest IN
the use of crates and the method OF
shipment under the Del-Mar-Va
Marketing plan is evidenced by the
makers of crates and carriers report
ing a very heavy increase in the de-
mand for broccoli crates at this
time.

SAFE HARBoR WATER POWER
COMPANY
Another Big Dam To Be Constructed
ACROSS Susouehanna River

announcer big Udln 40 DC OOhAStN uOuCu
Across Susquehanna River
A charter issued last week to the
Safe Harbor Water Power Company
indicates that Pennsylvania inter-
ests will construct a big dam and
hydraulic plant that will rival the
Conowingo plant in magnitude.
The new plant will be located ten
miles above the present HOLLYWOOD
dam Of the Pennsylvania Water and
Power Company, and will be twice
the size of the existing hydro-steam
development of that company when
completed.
This means that the Aldred con-
trolled power plants on the Susque-
hanna will eventually have capa-
city of something like $4,000 horse
power, compared with $4,000
horsepower planned ultimately for
Conowingo. Capacity of the pres
ent hydro-steam development of the
Pennsylvania Water and Power
Company is 10000 horsepower and
production last year was 655,O35,-
700 kilowatt hours. Conowingo's
ultimate production calls for 1,15O,-
600, 300 kilowatt hours.
As in the case with the Conowingo
enterprise of the United Gas I'm
proVement Company, the Safe Har-
Dor project, probably has electrifi-
cation of the Pennsylvania Railroad
in view, although the supply of adj
ditional power to Baltimore to take
care of the city's growth also is a
factor. As matters now stand the
Consolidated Gas Electric Light and
Power Company buys about half OF
its electric output from the Pennsyl-
yania Water and Power Company
and produces the other half in its
local steam plants.

If our ancestors had realized that
plant diseases and insent pests do
not appear spontaneously of them
selves, but are introduced from coun-
tries where they are native or have
become established, we might be
free from many of the troublesome
plant pests we are fighting today.
Since the passage of the Federal
plant quarantine act in 1912, no new
major plant pest is known to have
been introduced and become per-
mananently established in this coun-
try, except one which came across
the Mexican border.

MASONS-DIXONS LINE RE-RUN
TO FIX LOCATION OF STILL
Peculiar Situation Developed BY
Moonshine Plant In Goat
Hill Section

The Mason and Dixon line, es-
tablished more than a century and a
half ago as peace measure between
Maryland and Pennsylvania, indi-
rectly was responsible for man be-
ing indicted in two Federal juris-
dictions, it was revealed recently.
II. also came to light that the Unit
ed States Government was compelled
to resurvey part Of the line between
Cecil county and the Land OF Penn
in order to determine which OF two
Federal courts should try the case.
While all this was in progress
Archie L. Akers, of Cecil county,
languished in the Baltimore City
Jail while Federal officials mulled
over the problem of whether a still
said to have been operated by him
was in Maryland or across the line.
The survey showed the still was
located in Pennsylvania, couple Of
hundred yards from the line.
Akers was arrested last October,
following shooting ARRAY in which
the accused is alleged to have held
the raiding officers at bay for some
time with a repeating rifle. His
ammunition exhausted, he threw
away his weapon, and ran. Akers
was captured after a chase, but even
then he put up a battle which re-
quired all efforts of Joseph Short,
deputy sheriff of Cecil county, and
John M. Spicer, husky six-foot dry
agent, to subdue him.
The accused was indicted for man
ufacture and possession of liquor, to-
gether with firing upon with intent
to kill the Government officers. He
was about to be tried in the Balti-
more Federal Court when question
arose as to whether the still and
shooting occurred in Maryland or
Pennsylvania. Akers said he knew
his house was in Cecil county, be-
cause he paid taxes there, but there
was a tradition that the line ran
close to his domicile, he said, but
how close he was not certain.
The survey was determined upon
as final solution, and when this re-
vealed the still to be in Pennsylvania
an indictment was secured against
Akers in the Federal Court in Phila-
delphia. Aker's home is near Ris-
ing Sun.
William Childs Purnell, son of the
late Mayor William G. Purnell, of
Elkton, assistant United States Dis
trict Attorney, went to Philadelphia,
last week, when the case was tried,
to represent the Baltimore office.
Akers was taken there under guard
in preparation for the hearing.
"Under the Federal law" Mr..
HPurnell explained, "a Volstead act
case may be tried in either jurisdic-
ton il the offense originates ON one
side OF the border line between
States and is contaminated, or is
continued, ON the other side.
eff the case against Akers was not
complicated by the shooting ARRAY
we could have tried it here, but the
survery showed that this was COM
mitted entirely on the Pennsylvania
side.''

"EARLY DISCOvERY-EARLY
RECOVERY"

Emphasizing the possibilities OF
checking tuberculosis, if it is dis
covered and cared for in the early
stages of the disease, special clinics
will be held throughout the State,
during April, under the joint au-
spices of the State Department OF
Health and the Maryland Tubercu-
losis Association. In connection
with the clinics, an effort will be
made to reach persons of all age
groups, white and colored, showing
the early symptoms of the disease or
who seem to be threatened with it..
Speaking of clinics, DR.. R. H.
Riley, Director of the State Departs
ment of Health said: Some of the
effects of the work that has been
done Throughout the State for the
prevention or control of tuberculosis
are reflected in the records of the
State Department of Health.
"In 1918, for instance, 1884
deaths from tuberculosis-all forms
of the disease, not only tuberculosis
of the lungs-occurred in Maryland.
In 1928, with much larger popula-
ton, there were 1897 deaths from
tuberculosis. What this reduction
signifies, in the actual saving OF lives
can be better understood by estimat-
ing the number of deaths that would
have occurred if the rate prevailing
ten years ago had been in effect In
1928. If there had been no change
in the rates-that is the proportion
of deaths to the total population
there would have been 3432 deaths
from tuberculosis in 1928, instead OF
1897.
"That is one side of the story and
it is a very encouraging one. Here
is another. When the records are
analysed, we find that there has
been much greater decline in the
deaths from tuberculosis in the
white population, than in the color
ed. In 1928, there were nearly four
times as many deaths from tubercu-
losis among the colored people in
proportion to the colored population,
as there were in the white popula-
ton. If the rate in the colored pop
ulation has been the same as that in
the white population, instead of hav-
ing sos deaths from tuberculosis,
among the colored people, in the
State, during the year there would
have been 1873.
cit is generally estimated there
are ten cases of sickness in proper
ton to every death from tubercu-
losis. Basing our estimates on the
deaths from tuberculosis, last year,
there are now 1870 persons in the
State-BaltimoTe City and the coun-
ties together-who are i'll with the
disease-9,99 white and $3.50
colored. OF that number $500
white and $500 colored live in the
counties.
1--WE have made great strides in
the control and prevent Of
culosis, but figures like this show US
that we still have huge task before
us. The clinics that are held each
month have been of inestimable val
ne to thousands of our people.
There is always better chance OF
arresting the disease if it is discov-
cred and cared for, in the early
stages. On that account, the early
diagnosis clinics scheduled for
April, are of utmost importance"
