to have something like 100000 900
to contemplate. And the State must
consider this vast increase at the
same time measures for reducing Ii
cense plates will be up and further
diversion of highway funds may be
under debate.
Thus, the modern method OF TAX
ing on huge debts and financing them
with diminished revenues will be be-
fore the legislature. Even the conser-
vative Mr.. Hoey made commitments
for spending that his opponent, DR..
Ralph w. Mcdonald, regarded ex-
travagant. DR.. Mcdonald declared
that he had sources of revenue that
Mr. Hoey would not touch, but the
voters seemed to think DR.. McDon-
AIDS methods more insubstantial than
they regarded Mr.. Hoey's. Both can
didates accused each other of max
ing shadOwy proposals. Some of these
offerings were called positively shady.

But here they are now: The "A
counties will be very considerably ex-
tended and the suggested amounts
which totaled about $S,50O,OO0, will be
The commission was interested orr
ginally in the "A counties which have
those definite claims. But all coun-
ties were invited to send in their con-
tentions and most of them have come.
The State will have to meet that is
tue.
And that controversy could very
quickly become the one on which the
next race for governor turns. 1t will
probably come to that. A new penny
or two on gas consumption would
raise the amount of carrying charges
which this new gigantic debt would
require, it is contended. And the coun-
ties which are to be affected could
very easily dominate this nomination.
There would be no East and West.
There would be one universal grab.
There is no hiding the fact that the
statesmen expect to have this thing
lying on their desks when they get
here next January. The present Cen
eral Assembly, as well as the Demo
cratic nominees for 1887, appear to
be against such a debt plunge now.

IMPORTANT HAY CROP

For the past several years a pas
ture and hay improvement cam
paign has ben conducted in Kent
county under the direction of
County Agent Russell E. Wilson.
and this program has resulted in
several thousands of acres of scar
let clover, sweet clover, lespedeza
and alfalfa being added to the le-
gume acreage. Of these various
legume crops, special consideration
has bene given to the seeding and
culture of alfalfa which is regard
ed by farmers as the most desir-
able hay for dairy cattle in the
economic production of milk. At
ter alfalfa has become well estab-
lished the cost of growing it is
lower than the expense of produc-
ing the majority of other farm
crops in comparison with the value
received per acre. In addition to
its feeding value, alfalfa is also
one of the legumes included in the
maximum benefit payment group
in connection with the soil con-
servation program, and many
farmers are planning to seed al
falfa in the diversion from soil de-
pleting to soil conserving acreage,
thereby being in position to bene-
fit from this program this year.
As the period from August Is to
August 80 is the recommended
time for seeding alfalfa in this sec
tion of the United States, those
farmers who are expecting to raise
this crop for next year should pre-
pare their ground now, as alfalfa
requires fairly firm and we'll
packed seed bed with adequate soil
drainage and good fertility. AL
falfa which is sown at this time of
the year has a much better chance
to become established for the win
ter, and will more likely produce a
better stand of hay than if seeded
later in the summer or early next
spring. Since alfalfa will not
grow satisfactorily on soil which is
acid, it is very essential that a

Our program is going to be full of
surprises during the rest of the
year and each Scout is asked to
cooperate with the Troop Commit
tee and Scoutmaster in their eff
forts to make Scouting a success
in Smyrna. Mr.. Foster is proud
to announce that James Anthony
went to Camp Rodney and came
home with the highest honor of the
camp and a few medals. A good
number of Smyrna Scouts went to
camp, some are going and others
are there now, gaining knowledge
of Scouting and passing tests and
merit badges in advancement.
Each Monday evening during Aug
ust, Scoutmaster Foster will meet
the boys at his home for classes in
Scouting. These classes are for
Scouts who really want to get
somewhere in Scouting and not for
those who are in it just for fun.
On Wednesday, August 10Th, Mr..
Foster will take the Scouts on an
overnight camp to Woodland

LACK PRIVATE
AID FOR BRIDGE
Senator Tydings Says Federal
Funds Available For the
Chesapeake Span
UP TO GOVERNOR NICE

All prospects for early construc-
tion of the Chesapeake Bay bridge
have been dissipated by the long
delay" in obtaining offers of money
from private sources, it was said
Wednesday afternoon of last week
in joint statement by Senator
Millard E. Tydings and Senator
George L. Radcliffe. THE Sena-
tors made the statement" declares
the Kent News, Chestertown, "af-
ter half-hour conference in Sen
ttor Tyding's office They added
that, though there is no immediate
prospect of going ahead with the
bridge project they will remain
watchful to recapture any oppor-
unity to resume the bridge cam
paign. Senator Tydings says: We
are definitely Of the opinion that
had the offer of 100000 come
from private sources some months
ago, the remaining 81 100000 could
have been secured from agencies of
the Federal Government It is our
definite conviction that in all our
talks with the President, with Mr..
Ickes and with Mr.. Jones, that
these men stood ready and willing
to make S7,500OOO of Federal
money available for construction
of the bridge when the remaining
2,500,OOO or S3,0OO,00O was forth
coming from sources other than
the Government. We had also re-
peatedly advised the parties inter-
ested that this was the state of af-
fairs, but that they must make al
definite offer for the balance before
the Government would commit it
self to definite action. We shall
be watchful to recapture any op-
portunity which later events may
offer to promote contact and travel
between the Eastern and the West
ern Shores of Maryland It was
also learned that Governor Nice
held a conference Monday after
noon with Albert d. Graham,
chairman of the bridge authority,
to see if any plans can be worked
out to obtain money for the span"
