Maryland farmers expect to
plant about a three percent
larger acreage of market to-
matoes in 1888 than they har-
vested last year and indications
now point to a planting of
about 3,100 acres, which COM
pares with 5000 acres harvest
ed last year. Acreage has been
expended steadily since 1928,
when 1000 acres were har-
vested.
The acre ge of market to-
matoes on the Southern East
ern Shore is expected to be
somewhat larger than last
year. The acreage actually
harvested in most other parts
of the State will depend on
prices for fresh tomatoes when
the crop begins to ripen.

THE HARDY VEGETABLES

Hardness in plants is a rel
alive term. Tender vegetables,
such as tomatoes, will stand
light frosts provided they have
been properly hardened. By
this we mean that the plants
have been gradually accustom-
ed to low temperatures.
In the milder sections of
Maryland freezing weather is
ended about the middle OF April
and after May 10 all danger of
frost is past. During the
month of April it is possible

BEER WON'T MAKE BARLEY
GROWING MUCH MORE
PROFITABLE


AS a result of the passage of
the beer legislation, the De-
partment of Agriculture has
had numerous inquiries from
farmers as to the likelihood of
getting a premium on barley
by growing the mailing varie-
ties. In answer to these in
quiries the department has is
sued a statement showing the
facts it has available on the
growing of mailing barley.
Most parts of the United
States, it point out, have small
opportunity to grow mailing
barleys profitably, though GER
tain favored localities do.
Claiming that it has no facts
on which to base an opinion as
to the probable demond for
mailing barley from the 1888
crop, the department says that
even if the country used as
much barley for mailing out of
the 1888 crop as it did out of
the 1917 crop, the amount
would be less than a quarter of
the average annual barley pro-
duction.
Production of barley, the de-
partment claims, has jumped
in the last Is years owing to
increasing appreciation of bar
ley value as a feed. But a malt
ing market exists and farmers
in certain favored sections can
grow barley as a cash crop.
Outside these favored areas,
however, growing barley in the
hope of mailing premiums is a
highly speculative enterprise.
Where mailing varieties yield
less than the varieties usually
grown for feed, the possible re-
wards do not as a rule balance
the risk. Farmers in such To-
calities, if they need feed, are
advised to plant the barley
likely to yield the best.
Also, it is pointed out, it
would not be difficult to over
supply the mailing barley
market. In that event the
premium would tend to disap-
pear. Prices no greater for
mailing barley than for feed
barley would discourage the
grower who had given the crop
special care, and would mean
no ultimate advantage to the
matters.
Furthermore, mailing barley
unless produced in a certain
volume in locality, is difficult
to market. Most of the malt
ing houses are in the regions
of greatest production and
most of the buyers who pay
premiums are at terminal mar
kets. And barley shipped long
distances must pay high
freight rates. Thus the little
fellow whose hopes have been
raised sky high over the pros
poets of growing barley for
beer is still left holding his own
bag of grain.

TUBERCULOSIS IN YOUNG
CHILDREN

tuberculosis is usually asso-
ciated with young people and
grown-ups, not with babies and
very young children. Accord
ingly, it comes as a surprise to
find that one out of every thir-
|'ty-three deaths in the total
deaths from tuberculosis in the
white population in Maryland,
in 1881, was that of a child I'M
der five. In the colo1ed popu-
lation, one out of every twenty
deaths at all ages, from tuber-
culosis, was that of a child I'M
der five.
Speaking of children and
their susceptibility to tubercu-
losis, DR.. R. H. Riley, Director
of the State Department of
Health said: Few people
realize that babies and young
children are very likely to
catch tuberculosis if they are
kept in the rooms with people
who have the disease, use the
same dishes, sleep in the same
beds or are handled and kissed
by people who have tubercu-
losis.
Babies and young children
pick up the germs of tubercu-
losis just as readily as they
pick up the germs of measles
or whooping cough or of any
other of the so-called children's
diseases. But tuberculosis is
different from other diseases in
certain particulars. Unlike
most diseases, it has more than
I one form. Babies who get tu-
berculosis may not show the
symptoms we associate with
the disease in older people.
But the disease in most cases
develops rapidly and is likely
to end fatally. Tubel culosis in
babies and young children is a
very serious matter, but recent
studies have shown that if
young chill lren are removed
promptly from contact with the
disease and given the necessary
care, many lives can be saved.
"a great deal can be accom-
plished whenever tuberculosis
develops, whether in young or
old, if the presence of the di-
sease is recognized when it is
in it's early stages and if medi-
cal attention is secured
promptly.
Beginning this month, the
tuberculosis organizations all
over the United States-our
own Maryland tuberculosis
Association among them-are
starting their sixth annual
drive to interest people in the
possibilities of preventing the
spread of tuberculosis in people
OF all ages, of checking the di-
sease, if it has started, and of
saving countless lives through
the early discovery of the di-
sease and intelligent care.
Tuberculosis doesn't just
simply happen. Nobody is
born with the disease. Every
body who develops tuberculosis
gets it from some other source.
Children and young people who
have been in contact with per-
sons i'll with tuberculosis are
especially likely to contract it.

No Gambler!
Not Smart Enough, So
Judge Frees Man.

TINE fact that John Gill, "a, of
IL 1929 Oliver avenue, didn't look
smart enough to be a gambler in
the opinion of Criminal Judge
Frank P. Baker, yesterday secured
his release.
Gill had been fined $25 and
costs and sentenced to ten days in
Jail by Municipal Judge William
H. Sheaffer on a charge of keep
ing a gaming house, but appealed
to the higher court.
After hearing ellis story that
he had been running a poolroom
for a blind man, Judge Baker
commented:
We'll, 1t looks to me that the
blind man has as much chance of
looking out for the houses cut as
you would. For your own protec-
ton, am going to fine you $40
and costs, but will suspend it on
the condition you never gamble"
Turning to Sergeant Kent Yoh,
arresting officer, Judge Baker said:

man in gambling game, look out
for him. He needs some one to
take care of him"
