Dog Days-If Any-Have
Started-Maybe

Dog days started last Friday-or
is it this Friday? There's been lot
of dispute about just when they do
start. The United States Naval OBJ
servatory, which watches over the
sun, moon, stars and such things, has
decided, to save trouble, that dog days
begin July 10.
Dog days, it is said, belong to folk
lore, not to science. Neither their be-
ginning, nor their end has anything to
do with formal astronomy. They have
their origin in this country in the old
hst American folklore and according
to that they start when Sirius, the dog
star, is in conjunction" with the sun.
Custom-not astronomy-has fixed
three dates for that event, July 3,
July IS, or July %.
Dog days, which are particularly
well known in the calendar of south
ern states, are supposed to last from
80 to "a days. They are the period
of most intense heat, during which
dogs are said to be most apt to go
mad and the dew is rumored to con-
tain poison.

Midget Money Coinage Is Now
Proposed

Midget money may jingle in your
pocket before summer is over.
Treasury officials in Washington
said that if Congress votes approval
of the plan for minting half-cent and
one mill pieces, the coins could be
put into circulation within month
after the laws enactment.
The jingle may have sound of its
own. While the treasury has decided
that the half-cent pieces will be "most-
ly copper-technically bronze"-or
just about like the present penny
mill will be made of an aluminium
alloy with its own special metallic
clink. When they reach circulation,
you'll be able to change penny into
two halves or ten mills.
The idea is proposed on account of
the numerous sales taxes requiring
smaller amounts than one cent.

STATE IS NOW READY TO
ADMINISTER ITS RELIEF
Machinery Is Set Up To Continue
Work When Federal Govern
ment Funds Stop November 1
COUNTIES HAVE BOARDS

With it's model public welfare
set-up, Maryland is now provided
with machinery necessary to
take over Immediately, or on No
vember 1, the administration of
relief for it's unemployables, in
dependent of the Federal Gov
eminent.
The pronouncement of Federal
Relief Administrator Harry L.
Hopkins that the Federal Government
will withdraw from the field of direct
relief on November l, has caused the
State to set up its own machinery.
This set-up has been completed
through the State Welfare Act spon-
sored by the State Aid and Charities,
passed by the last General Assembly.
In accordance with this Act new
local welfare board was set up here
last week, which is not only to dis
pense relief money, but to distribute
the old-age pensions.
1t was announced this week that
Lee L. Dopkin, head of the old-age pen
sion division, hoped to have pension
checks going to more than one-third
of Maryland's needy within sixty days.
Sixteen counties included assess
ments for the pensions in their an
nual levies, and some other counties
may pay pensions from their contin-
gent funds. Garrett county commits
sioners made their annual levy before
the pension bill came up in the Legis-
lature, and therefore made no provis-
sion for payments.
Persons needing pensions must ap-
ply to their county welfare depart
ments.
The organization of the county
boards will save the State considera-
| BILE money, according to Harry Green
stein, State Relief Administrator, by
doing away with Implications in vari-
Gus social welfare functions of the
counties.
Counties of the State have already
levied for $168,000 of the 100000 ex-
pected to be needed the first year for
the payments. The county welfare
departments will make the actual pen
sion payments, of not more than $50
per month to each claimant. The State
will then return two thirds of the to-
tai amount to the county making the
payments. A Federal bill now pending
would match the old-age pension
money dollar for dollar.

MARYLANDSEED POTATOES
RANK WITH OTHER STATES
Local Katahdin Seed Makes Sec
ond Largest Yield In Test

Seed potatoes grown in Maryland
gave largest yields in tests conducted
at Pocomoke, on the Eastern Shore, it
is reported by DR.. R. A. Jehle, spec
ialist of the University Extension Ser
vice. These tests were conducted to
compare the yielding qualities of po
tato seed from various sources.
The largest yield was obtained with
fall-grown Irish Cobblers, which pro-
duced at the rate of 264 bushels of U.
S. No. and 81 bushels of U. S. No.
2 potatoes to the acre. Garrett county
Katahdin seed made the second largest
yield, with 255 bushels of U. S. No. 1
and 10 bushels of U. S. No. 2.
Results of tests and demonstrations
that have been conducted throughout
the State during the last few years
have clearly shown, DR.. Jehle states,
that it is not necessary for potato
growers to go outside of Maryland to
obtain their seed potatoes.
1t has been found during the last
few years, he states, that late-grown
Irish Cobbler seed potatoes can be
made to react just like northern-grown
seed by raising the storage tempera-
ture during the latter part of the stor-
age period.
Similar tests are being conducted
this year on the farm of William De-
Berry, near Oakland. Varieties of Ka-
tahdin, Green Mountain, Russell Ru-
raj, Cobbler, Red Bliss, Chippewa,
and other varieties from sections of
Michigan, Minnesota, Maine, New
York and the Eastern Shore of Mary
land have been planted on test plots
and the yielding qualities will be COM
pared to seed sources grown in this
county.
These tests are being conducted I'M
der the supervision of DR.. Jehle and
County Agent John Carter. DR.. Jehle
is in the county this week on his first
inspection trip. Thirty-one farmers
have requested the inspection of their
potato fields.

CALLS ROOSEVELT POLICY
INSANE IN TALK MONDAY
Governor Nice Speaks To Union
League Club in San Francisco

Governor Harry w. Nice of Mary
land, in an address before the Union
League Club of San Francisco, Cal,
on Monday attacked the national ad-
ministration as totally insane"
The governor, mentioned as a pos
sible candidate for the Republican
presidential nomination in 1896, plead
ed for a return to national sanity
in addressing the organization.
He declared there is need for "cour-
ageous action in stopping extrava-
gance, enforcing economies and in re-
ducing taxes so that the industries,
particularly the smaller ones, may
survive"
The governor arrived in San Fran
cisco fresh from a conference with
former president Herbert Hoover
Governor Nice spent the weekend
with Mr.. Hoover and former War Sec
rotary Patrick J. Hurley on the Rus
sian river, north of San Francisco.
at is little short of criminal to
burden with taxes the people of today
for the avowed perpetuation of a po-
litical regime" Governor Nice told
the club.
The depression was worldwide, he
said, but under Republican admins
tration and with constructive policies
conforming to prescribed constitu-
tional practices, recovery was on the
way in June, 1882, only to be set back
by the election"

PLANS FOR PURCHASE OF
SUBMARGINAL LAND GIVEN
Half Of $4,000 Acres In State
May Be Acquired By Fall By
Outright Purchases
SOIL is OF LITTLE VALUE

Acquisition of approximately $4,000
acres of submarginal land in Mary
land, principally in the mountainous
regions of the western part of the
state, may be completed by autumn.
The land is now being optioned by
AAA agents, and will be purchased
outright by the federal government.
According to DR.. T. B. Symons, di-
rector of the extension service of the
University of Maryland, his depart
ment recommended more than year
ago that 10000 acres unsuited to cul-
tivation be bought by the govern
ment and used for game conservation,
recreational and forestry projects.
Lack of funds, however, has reduced
the size of the original project.
Limited Number of Families
"Not more than 200 families, at the
most, live on the land which will be
purchased" DR.. Symons said. 81 I'M
derstand that there is no difficulty in
obtaining the options, and most of
the families will remain in the same
neighborhood. Some of them, no doubt,
will be employed in Transforming the
tracts to their new uses"
The cost of the various tracts of
land, located in Garrett, Frederick,
Somerset and Wicomico counties, will
range from SO to SIS per acre, accord
ing to DR.. Symons. The total purchase
price probably will be under 100000.
Work on the project has been ham,
pered by the necessity of extensive
surveys in Garrett and Frederick
counties, DR.. Symons said. In Garrett
county 10000 acres of land is being
purchased. Fifteen thousand acres will
be bought in Frederick county, and
10000 acres in Somerset and Wico-
ionic counties.
Half of Land Optioned
The land is being acquired by the
land-policy section of the AAA, and
approximately half of the $4,000 acres
is now under option.
"All of the land to be purchased
has poor soil, unsuited to agriculture,
DR.. Symons said. Farmers living or
the tracts have never been able to
make real living, and would be bet
ter off elsewhere. Generally speaking
much good can be accomplished from
submarginal land if it is properly
utilized and is administered wisely
and properly"
Most of the tracts in the AAA prof
ect will be reforested, and probably
later turned over to the State For.
