Questions Pertaining
To Agriculture

Is 1t advisable to buy southern
grown, 1rOst-hardened cabbage
plants?
We advise against it. Diseases
such as club-root and yellows may
be imported with the plants. Prob
ably you can find plants just as
good close to home.-A. E. Hutch
ms, division of horticulture.
I understand this Is expected to
be a bad white grub year. How
can I protect my lawn from them?
You can grub-proof your lawn
with lead arsenate spread at the
rate Of 5 pounds to each 1000
square feet. Water the lawn well
for several days after this applica-
ton to wash the poison two or
three inches into the soil. Grubs
feed on the grass roots and will be
poisoned. 1t is well to repeat this
treatment a few weeks after the
first application A. A. Granov-
sky, division Of entomology.

BOY SCOUT WEEK

This, as many informed folk know
already, is Boy Scout Week, celebrat.
ing the 10Th birthday Of the Boy
Scouts of America, a movement that
has already appealed to 8,400,00(
American men and boys.
Such success as the Boy Scout
scheme has had is due chiefly, aside
from its inherent imaginative appeal
for boys, to the fact that thousands Of
devoted men have given time anC
money-but chiefly time-quite unset
fishly in order that the boys who be-
came Scouts might have the advan-
tage of their counsel and experience
No similar social agency in the history
of the world has ever engaged so many
men as volunteers and their willing
ness and desire to be of some use is a
tribute to the sort of unselfshness
which is a component of the essential
American character.

in vain, for there is ample evidence
that the Boy Scouts Of America have
become among those consistently ac-
tive in carrying out the service motive
in our national life This has always
been amply demonstrated in times of
emergency and is likewise to be dis
covered in ordinary days by many
signs. Not the least of them is the
fact that many, in fact, most Of those
becoming Boy Scout leaders in the
past several years have previously been
Scouts and are Selling upon that way
of repaying the debt due their own
scoutmasters. This is significant evil
dence that the Scout creed of helpful
ness to others is a working doctrine.

PARAGRAPH OPINIONS
Sign Your Name

Frequently we get communications
from people requesting US to print
them in the columns of The Republi-
can.
1t has been a rule for years that
communications must be signed. The
signature is not used when the writer
does not desire it, but it is a safeguard
to The Republican, to show the SINGER
ity of the writer, and to guard against
false information getting into the
paper through anonymous sources.
Such a letter came last Saturday
about the CCC, requesting that a
poem be published. The letter was
signed taxpayer and good Ameri-
can citizen. If he is a good American
citizen he will write The Republican
and give US his name, and from what
newspaper he obtained the poem.

A Correspondent Registers His Pro-
test Against Further Indebtedness
Incurred By The Town of Oakland.
To the Editor of The Republican.
Sir: On Friday, February 10, the
voters of this town will have the OPP
portunity to register their approval or
disapproval of a proposal to increase
the towns Indebtedness, and conse-
quently, to increase our taxes. Tax
payers certainly should give this mat
ter mature consideration before con-
senting to increase our financial bur-
den at this time to the proposed eX-
tent.
At present we are endeavoring to
pay off a bond bill, and when the re-
cent payment on the same fell due, it
became necessary for the Council to go
out and borrow the money to pay this
bond and interest.
If we cannot take care of our pres
ent Indebtedness with our current rev.
enue, how can we take care of $1,000
additional? The interest alone on this
proposed bond issue would, at 4@c,
amount to $1,000, to say nothing of the
additional expense of upkeep.
The only way to meet this, of course,
is by additional taxation, and heavy
taxation at that. Don't you think we
are paying all the taxes we can afford ?
For town of this size, we have City
Hall which is entirely adequate. The
Fire Department is well housed in a
central location. | am informed that
the floor needs additional support to
bear the weight of the trucks, but that
would entail little expense.
The Mayor and Council have ample
and comfortable quarters for the
transaction of all necessary business
of the town, and there is a large as
sembly room on the second floor. Why,
then, go to useless expense at this
time? TAXPAYER.

Although their exact purpose is not
announced, it is common talk where
these engineers come in contact witt
local people, that they are making sur
veys for a giant flood control project
of the Government.
1t is said that the plan at Kitzmille1
calls for cutting off portion Of tbs
town, including twenty homes, the
school building, bank building and the
towns theatre. Along the Youghio.
gheny River they would eliminate the
town of Friendsville altogether, and
carry over into Pennsylvania, putting
Somerfeld and Confluence under
water, the latter, by some sixty feet
They have also surveyed along the
Casselman River, and there's no tell
ing what might be eliminated in that
particular section of the county.
If such plans ever come to pass,
more of Garrett county would be under
water than would be out of it, and in
our opinion the longer this long-range
planning takes, the better it will be
for Garrett county. We will admit that
floods are a menace to thousands of
people along the Ohio and Potomac
basins.
But why dosen't somebody start
long-range planning for reforestation
along the river drainage basins Plant
enough trees and they will stop these
devastating floods.

Doesn't Want Bounty

To the Editor of The Republican,
Dear Sir:
1t is a question of who wants a
bounty on fur-bearing animals? 1t
seems to me any man who takes time
to think would not want to pay to
destroy the fur that helps to clothe our
children. 1t may be OK. to place q
bounty on snakes that destroy oul
fish, but how foolish to pay to destroy
things that are useful, things that are
a big asset to our county. Would it
not be more wise to have a closed
season on fur-bearing animals, get
away from the destroying spirit, and
get back to the protecting spirit. Then
our county will grow and not decay.

ROAD DEFICIT IN TEN
COUNTIES IS REVEALED
Garrett Has Shortage In Lateral
Road Fund of S9,586

Ten of Maryland's twenty-three
counties, including Garrett county
ended the year with deficits in their
lateral road fund accounts, accord
ing to statment issued by William A
Codd, auditor of the State Roads Com
mission.
The entire deficit was $149,444 for
the ten counties, and S9,586 was
charged against Garrett county. Balti-
more City had credit balance of
$7O,O94 in its account, which is used
for maintenance and debt service. The
other thirteen counties total credit
balance was $255,O54.
The counties had total of S515,00O
in their construction fund accounts as
of December 81. Contracts already
awarded in the counties but for which
no funds have been allocated will re-
quire the expenditure of S296,345.
On the assumption the counties
would spend this year the same
amount of money they did last year
for maintenance and debt service,
these membranes on the lateral road
funds would total $1,486,79 leaving
a total deficit of 1881, 178. However,
after anticipated revenues of $1,491,-
679 are added to the accounts, seven
of the counties would be left with
deficits totaling S173,7 at the end of
the fiscal year. On this basis Garrett
county would have a surplus of $770
on September 80, 1889.

Auto Deaths

The first month of the year showed
ten less deaths from traffic accidents
than the corresponding period of 1888
There were twenty-siX deaths during
January this year.
Figuratively speaking this is en-
couraging. During 1888 there was a
decrease over the previous year, SC
that it looks like motorists are becom-
ing more conscious of the danger in
driving and are really becoming more
careful and considerate of others on
the highways.
