GOVERNOR RICHIE SIGNS
DEATH WARRANT

Governor Richie has signed
a death warrant for Fuel Lee,
Negro, convicted twice for the
murder of Green K. Davis, a
Taylorville, Worcester county
farmer, and set June 2 as the
date for his execution.
Lee, who is in the death
house at the Maryland Peni-
Tertiary, was charged with
numbering the farmer and his
wife and two daughters, but
was tried only for killing the
former.
Lee was convicted twice for
the murder of Mr.. Davis in the
Circuit Court for Baltimore
County at Towson and each
time sentenced to be hanged.
He was granted a new trial by
the Court of Appeals after the
first conviction on the grounds
that Negroes had not been con-
sidered for service on the jury
which heard the case.
The appeal from the second
conviction was made on
grounds involving the alleged
segregation of Negroes in the
courtroom, alleged discrimi-
nation against Negroes in the
selection of a part of the jury
panel and alleged prejudicial
remarks made by witnesses.

KILL THE CROW AND SAVE
ORR BIRDS

Declaring that investigators
showed that crows destroy
great numbers of wild duck
eggs as we'll as eggs of other
birds, in Maryland marshes,
State Game Warden E. Lee Lee,
Compile urged sportsmen to as
sist farmers in thinning out
the pests.
Mr.. LeCompte's statement in
part is as follows:
Without question of doubt
crows destroy more eggs of
birds and fowl than any other
agency and are especially de-
structive to our wildfowl sup
ply. Maryland, being blessed
with the great Chesapeake Bay
and tributaries, furnishes more
adequate breeding areas for
black ducks and blue-winged
teal than any State along the
Atlantic Coast. On tic Bla ok
water Migratory Game Refuge
located in the great black
muskrat area of Dorc--- este.
county, Peter j. Van Huisen,
U. S. Deputy Game Protector
and Superintendent of the Ref
uge, reports that in 1882, 33
per cent CT wild duck eggs of
nests found on this area were
destroyed by the crow. In adj
dition to being so detrimental
to our wildfowl supply, the
crow is also very destructive to
not only ground-nesting birds,
but to tree-nesting birds thru
the destruction of eggs.
"The sportsmen of Maryland
can assist the farmer as we'll as
themselves by thinning out the
increasing crow population
during the nesting season
which has already begun.
Scientists, in making examina-
tions of the contents of stom-
achs of crews report that dur
ing the nesting season, they
are one Of the most destructive
agencies to nearly all forms of
birdlife and to the farmers
grain crops as we'll. 1t seems
the crow has no enemies to
speak of. Only certain owls
will attempt a fight with a
crow. Therefore, there is very
little check upon their increase.
In addition to their destructive
ness to eggs of practically all
species Ct birds, they are also
very destructive to young poul-
try. Observations prove the
crow to be a very smart bird.
For instance, after locating a
duck nest or a bird nest by fol-
lowing the female, the crow
summons others of his tribe
and they attack, drive the bird
from the nest and eat the eggs
or her fiedglings.
1--WE advise the farmers who
are annoyed with crows to take
eggs, puncture a small hole in
one end and insert strychnine,
paste adhesive plaster over the
hole and lay the eggs around
where crows are using. I'm
told numbers can be killed in
this manner.

A Country Editor
Looks at Banking

THE editor of the Norwalk, Ohio,
Herald takes somewhat different
view OF the banking situation from q
good many people. His idea is as
follows:
with rents falling and unpaid, real
estate does not present happy pic
ture. Nor does the owner OF care
fully selected bonds feel any happier,
with bunch of them going wrong. A
lot of folks very carefully invested in
preferred and common stocks in the
finest companies in the world and have
seen them fall to perhaps tenth Of
what they paid for them, and no div
idends at all. Some folks kept their
money in savings accounts in banks,
and some banks have closed and left
them high and dry. But the situation
is worth looking at very carefully.
"On government authority, most
banks that closed were really solvent
but for frozen assets and popular
timidity. Gradually the closed banks
are coming out from under and de-
positors in even bad cases will get at
least so per cent of their savings.
That's tough Of course; nobody likes
to lose half Of what they had scrimped
and sacrificed and saved. But when
you hoard and stick the roll of bills in
a coffee pot or under mattress, some
plug-ugly comes along and burns your
feet till you tell him to take it and
welcome.
"And what about the great majority
of banks that weathered the storm,
met all corners and are doing business
as usual, carefully and conservatively,
but safely? What about the savings
in those banks? They are full 100
per cent today-and they are the only
thing we know of at 100 per cent any.
where. After all is said and done,
good, we'll managed bank is still the
best place in all the world for money
or savings. Right now in Ohio the
banks pay the taxes on all savings and
pay their depositors net interest on
their savings. We can't think, just
now, Of many other investments that
are tenth as safe as a savings ac-
count In solid bank. Why, even
savings account in closed bank is
actually worth more today than most
stocks."

When To Plant And
Prune Peach Trees

Peach trees should be set in the or
chard when they are a year old. The
pruning consists of cutting away all
side branches and heading the trunk
back to two or three feet in height,
according to o. M. Morris of the Wash
ington state college horticulture di-
vision.
If the trees are large the side
branches may be left three or six
inches long The roots are dressed by
cutting away all bruised, mashed, or
injured parts and removing all the f.
brous roots.
In the first winters pruning after
setting, all branches should be re-
moved from the trunk except three
to five that are selected to form the
framework of the tree. Long and whip
like branches should be severely headed
back to about one-half their original
length. 1t is good plan to have these
branches distributed as far apart on
the trunk as feasible, advises Mr..
Morris
The second winters pruning should
consist of heading back the longest
and strongest growing branches and
thinning out the sections of the top
where the twigs are thick enough to
produce dense shade. Trees that have
made a stocky growth require the least
heading back, while those that have
grown more slender should be headed
back more severely The pruning should
remove enough branches to keep the
tree open and exposd to light.
The crop production should begin
after the third winters pruning. The
tree top assumes a spreading form of
growth, the wood is harder and finer
grained, and usually fully matured be-
fore autumn Pruning should remove
enough wood to give short spurs ex-

could have the opportunity to use the
money for other needed things, or for
operating money.
The enactment would put the state,
counties, cities and school districts in
a fine financial condition. They would
save the interest on warrants. They
would collect for all taxes for this year
and in addition, would collect all back
taxes, thus giving them surplus of
funds. 1t would save schools from hav-
ing to close.
Almost every one has now come to
the conclusion that we need some kind
of imitation to start things going, how
ever, some are afraid of currency in
flation, others are against bond inf1a-
ton on account of not wanting to pile
up more debts.
If legislation of this kind were en-
acted by this state it would put millions
of dollars to work; If taken UP by
other states, it would require and put
to work billions of dollars, thus causing
the desired initiation without increas-
ing the aggregate debt of the people;
one debt balances the other.
There is no reason why the Recon-
struction Finance Corp. should not
supply the needed funds for carrying
out this plan. 1t should be self liquid
ating. If not, it will then have to be
admitted that the property of these
United States is not worth the taxes
that are levied against it and they
consider that it never will be. If such
is the case, we may as we'll quit

The enactment of something similar
to above would benefit the property
owners by extending their payment of
taxes until conditions improve. If their
taxes are now delinquent they will save
about half on interest If their homes
are about to be sold for taxes, they
can save them. Even if they have the
money to pay, under this plan, they
