Brooklyn Team Has Won Five

ROADSIDE PLANTING

This spring the State Roads Com
mission and the Department of For
estry have been cooperating in the
planting of trees along the various
State roads.
In all, about 10 miles of road,
Defense Highway, National Pike,
Dover Road, Falls Road, Mountain
Road, Grain Highway and York
Road, were planted with 1888 trees.
Elms, Norway maple, sugar maple,
ash, tulip poplar, honey locust, red
oak, scarlet oak, red gum, and Orien-
tai plane were used.
This is good beginning and it is
hoped that these two departments
will continue the good work started.
Several other stretches of road
have been planted by organizations
and individual paintings have been
made in other years, but this year is
the first that the two State Depart
ments have cooperated in roadside
planting.

CAREFUL CULTIVATION TO
DESTROY THE CORN
WORM MOTH

Maryland farmers who desire tot
rid their soil of the destructive corn
ear worm or tomato fruit worm
should make it point to carefully
cultivate all fields in which they
grew tomatoes, beans or sweet corn
last year, it is advised by P. D.
Sanders, Associate Entomologist for
the Extention Service of the Univer-
sity Of Maryland. Moreover, this
cultivation should take place before
May Is so that the moth in the soil
may be destroyed before it energies
to lay eggs from which the worm is
produced during the summer.
According to Mr.. Sanders, with
the advent of cool weather in the fall
or latter part of the summer, the
corn worm burrows into the soil to a
depth Of two to nine inches where it
forms a small, silk-lined tunnel to
house the pupae. In the spring, at
about this time, the moths will
emerge from these tunnels, unless
the field. is cultivated and the rain
permitted to destroy these tunnels
and moth. If the moth is not des-
troyed at this stage, it will produce
eggs, which in turn will give forth
worms to carry the cycle on for the
coming year.
Last year, because of drouth, the
ravages of the corn worm were in
creased considerably in the State,
especially on the Eastern Shore
where as much as a fifty percent
loss was reported in late beans.
Tomatoes and corn also suffered in
excess of normal. This means, of
course, that there was large carry
over of moths which must be destroy
ed soon, before they start another
year of destruction. A recent sinves-
tigation by Mr.. Sanders, of fields
heavily infested by the worm last
year, showed over 5000 pupae to
the acre in tomato ground and Is, 900
pupae to the acre in bean fields.
The worm, familiar to every farm
er in the State, measures, when full
grown, about l IA inch in length
and varies from greensto brown in
color, depending upon the type of
food consumed.

WAR AGAINST ROADSIDE
BILLBOARDS

The fight is on to finish to abolish
the disfiguring advertising billboard
from the highways of the United
States, and it is higly significant that
the rural people have joined the cru
SADIE very energetically in the past
two or three years. Local groups
are taking active steps to abolish the
billboards, while in broad national
way the rural reinforcement to the
anti-billboard crusade has become
very marked.
/. So theoretically has this campaign
been waged that the outdoor advertis-
ing assertions have become thor
oughly alarmed and are frequently
calling into conference the billboard
opponents, looking towards an amic-
able compromise. To such confer
ences representatives of local farm
groups, such as the Grange, Farm
Bureau and rural Improvement aSSo-
Citations, have been invited, all a rec.
ignition of what is soing on in rural
thinking along the billboard subjects.
Farmers who formerly were rent
ing their roadside land for billboards
at trifling monthly pittance are
now so awakened over the subje, t
that they are refusing to renew
rental leases; while billboard after
billboard has been pulled down on
country highways, in response to an
aroused public demand. The en-
trance of the rural people themselves
iato the fight marks new and most
interesting chapter in the antibill
board crusade.

BUDGET GETS
INCREASE

Many friends of the Maryland
forestry movement expressed an in
terest, both verbally and by letter,
to Governor Albert C. Richie and to
members of the Maryland General
Assembly, prior to the formulation of
the State budget in January. AS a
result of this splendid interest on
the part of Maryland citizens, the
Governor placed several increases in
the budget for the Department of
Forestry, all of which have been
authorized by the General Assembly.
An item of 5000 has been au-
thorized for labor fighting forest
fires. This has been very much
needed as the Department has had
to borrow money repeatedly for fire
fighting. The budget for tower
watchmen has been increased from
So, 900 to $3.50, and for smoke
chasers, from $500 to S., 76O.
These items have been below re-
quirements for some years, and it
has only been possible to pay tower
men and smokechasers through
the aid of the federal government.
Travel funds for the smokechasers
were also raised from $500 10
81, 600, which has also been largely
provided in the past by the federal
government. Slight increases in tel
ephone alIotments and funds for re-
pairs on State forest buildings met
long felt needs.
The most encouraging features of
the budget are an increase from
$3.50 to 81, 800 for fire tools, and a
special bond issue to provide $4,000
for new towers, $4,000 for improve
ments on the State Forests and $25, :
600 for purchase of additional State
Forest land.

PROTECTING TIE CHILD

Many communities are planning
programs for May Day emphasizing
child health and accident prevention.
This is part Of the general year-round
safety campaign conducted by schools
and various child-protective organ
izations.
At a time when accidents and
deaths to adults have constantly
risen, child fatalities have been on
the down grade. This is the direct
result Of the teaching of fundament-
ais of accident prevention and good
health in schools. It is an invaluable
work, not only because of the lives
now being saved, but because it is
paving the way for safer streets,
highways and homes in the future.
The astonishing total of accidents
among adults is due largely to their
refusal to take safety teaching seri.
ously. The child's mind, being NAL.
leable and open, is extremely recep.
tive to safety instruction when pre-.
scented wildly and in an interesting
manner. And that which is learned
in the primary and grade schools, by
the child, will be part of his charac'
ter as an adulE
There is nothing esoteric about
safety. It is the simplest Of things,
depending on a few commonsense
rules and principles. Care, watch.
fulness, courteousness, such factors
as these, that can be exercised by
every one, young or old, can almost
wholly do way with accidents of al
kinds. Carelessness, slothfulness
and incompetence are now claiming
thousands upon thousands of lives
each year, more than $4,000 in auto
mobile accidents alone.

A fair gas tax, all of which is used

merit of this is being rapidly lost by
unjustifed increases and by diversion
of tax funds for other purposes.

OBSERVE RULES OF ROAD

is the advice of the Delaware Auto
mobile Association, A. M. A., which
will apply with equal force to other
States.
The Association points to the in
creasing number of automobiles on
the highways as an added reason for
unusual precautions during the tour
ing season.
eve are" says a statement by
the Association, "at the beginning of
the greatest touring season in history.
More automobiles will be on the
of the United States than
ever before, and more tourists from
other ststes will pass over the roads
of Delaware. Many of the visiting
thousands will be unfamiliar with
local conditions and regulations and
they have a right to expect from
local motorists the same courtesies
and considerations that we look for
when touring in their states.
"Of course, the road hog is the
same no matter what state he calls
home, but it is conceded by motorists
severest critics that this class is far
in the minority. Thus, the majority
of visitors are likely to be well-mean-
ing and considerate drivers, deserv-
ing whatever help local motorist can

STATE TO SPEND $5,6OO,OO0
ON NEW ROAD WORK

About SIS, 900, 900 more of the
State Roads Commissions con-
struction fund will be allocat-
ed to projects employing from
5000 to 5000 men per month
until the building program
closes November Is, Harry D.
Williar, Jr., chief engeneer,
has announced.
Since the close of the con-
struction season last November
the roads body has about fifty
per cent. of its program under
construction, and has allocated
approximately fifty per cent. of
its $1O,OO0,000 construction
fund for 1881. Bids have been
asked or received on about 140
miles of construction work on
new highways in every county
of the State, Mr.. Williar said.
In addition, bids have been
received on four grade-elimina-
ton projects and thirteen
bridges. 1t is expected that the
remainder of the commission s
program for this year will be
advertised within the next two
months. =
It is estimated that the
peak of the construction pro-
gram will be reached during
June, July and August, when
between $500 and 5000 men
probably will be employed by
contractors and the ! commits
sion. In January of this year
2,497 men we're working dirct-
ly on road projects, in February
there were 1851 men, and in
March 1858 men were working
on road contracts.
Because the price of materials
had fallen, the commission this
year was able to get more mile
age per dollar than in several
previous years, Mr.. Williar said.
Although this would not mean
a rise in the wages of the men
employed on roads projects, it
meant that more men would be
required, he said. In addition
to men employed directly on
road work, contract awards
will bring employment to an
indefinite number of others in
allied industries which supply
cement, steel and other mater
ials for construction, he added.
The construction. fund, is
composed of lateral funds, con-
sisting of the income from one
and a half cents of the gasoline
tax, lateral road funds compos-
ed of the normal Federal Aid
fund matched. by the State, an
emergency Federal aid employ
ment loan of about $4,000 and
county bond Issues.
Maryland was one of the first
four or five States to allocate
the emergency loan. Included
in the fund are bond issues for
Hartford, Allegany and Calvert
counties, which were passed
by the Legislature. The Har-
ford county issue was passed
early in the session and was
singed by the Governor last
week, and there has not yet
been time to advertise projects.
Mr.. Williar said.
