REDUCE CORN EARWORM
INJURY

Many farmers, especially in the
Southern and Central States, believe
that injury by corn earwOrms is in
evitable, and do little to combat this
pest. A few simple control meas
ures limits its depredations, says the
U. S. Department of Agriculture.
Plant field corn as early as possible
to get good termination and growth.
Later paintings are more severely
damaged. 1t is also important to
plant all the field corn for a local
ity or community as promptly as
possible, so the plants will come in
to silk at about the same time. Sc
lectio nof varieties with husls that
extend from to inches beyond
the tip of the ear and close tightly
around the silks also aids greatly
in preventing earWorm injury. Fer
tilization, crop rotation, the use of
legumes, and other measures which
increase the productiveness of the
soil and improve the crop help to
make up for losses from earworms.

are very moist. One rule of menu
making is to serve a moist food with q
dry one, and IL you wish to make this

be tossed into kettle containing melted

IMPORTANT DATES FOR THE
SLUGGISH MEMORY

Maryland history is so replete with
interesting incidents that to recall al
will any but the most important dates
on which they occurred would require
a memory trained to that exactness
possessed by few. Among the many,
however, are a number it might be
well for us to remember in order that
we may visualize the period in which
the events happened.
Among them are: ..t
Chesapeake Bay explored by Cap
tain John Smith, 1908.
Kent Island taken possession of by
Claiborne as a trading post, July
1851.
Charter of Maryland granted, June
20, 1882.

Walter, born July Z, 1866, in Garrett
county, near German, the daughter Of
Murray and the late Mrs. Eliza White,
died October 2, 1881, aged 65 years, 2
months and rs days.
She was united in marriage with

children were born, four of whom
survive with the husband: Mrs. Bruce
Lohr, Deer Park; Mrs. Russell Cor
ley, Huntington, w. Va; Miss Alma

mont, w. Va; Alta Florence and Jas.
Murray, deceased. Her aged father,
who is in his 92nd year, three brothers
and three sisters, and stepmother, also
survive. Her mother departed %
years ago next November.
Mrs. Walter had been an invalid the
past fourteen months and great suf-
ferer, but always bearing her suf-
ferings in patience and that fortitude
characteristic of the true Christian.
She Joined the M. E. church October
8, 1881, and was always an active
member, taking a great interest in
church work until her health failed.
She frequently expressed her desire
to go home as her peace with God
was assured. Her only regret was
leaving her loved ones behind. Even
through her affection she passed many
a happy hour.
Her funeral was conducted by Rev.
Archibald Moore on October a at'11
o'clock and her remains were laid to
rest in the Deer Park cemetery by
the side of her children. The funeral
was the largest that has been con-
Quoted in Deer Park in number Of

tested on all sides. The casket rested
at the altar before many beautiful
flowers. She was deeply loved and
highly respected by all. She was allow
ing wife and one of the dearest moth
ers to her children that the writer
has ever known. She was exceed
ingly kind to everyone with whom she
came in contact. She will be sadly
missed by all, but Gods will, not ours,
be done. May God in his richest bene-
diction abide in the home of bereave-
ment with all it's cherished loved ones.
