STATE COLLECTS
LARGE INCOME
FOR BEER TAXES

According to figures submitted by
the office of the State Comptroller,
the State of Maryland collected $71,-
487.33 in taxes on beer for the month
of May, 1889.
This does not take into consideration
various sums collected by the Comp
troller and the counties for local tav-
ern licenses, which average for the
entire State of Maryland about $685.
1880 per month.
Students of economics point out
that during the prohibition years
sums equal to this amount and even
greater went into the hands of boot
leggers in the various localities, fos-
tering lawlessness and disorder.

ASPARACES IS
HARD VEGETABLE
FOR GARDENERS

Gardeners have greater difficulty
with asparagus than any other vege-
table, Judging by the volume of guam
tions on asparagus received each year
at the Ferry Morse Seed Breeding Sta
ton.
The principal source of trouble, &C
cording to Gordon Morrison, vege-
table expert, is depth of planting.
In setting out one-year-old roots,
crowns should be covered with from
three to eight inches of soil depending
upon the consistency of the soil. The
lighter the soil, the deeper the crowns
should be buried.
The following procedure is recon-
mended for starting asparagus plots.
Procure year-old roots of a known
variety from a reliable dealer; or bet
ter, grow your own roots from seed
this year and set them in their per-
manent place next year. Prepare a
trench about IL to 10 inches deep.
Here, again, exact depth will depend
upon nature of soil.
Place a generous layer Of rotted
manure in the bottom of the trench.
Cover with soil. Then set in the roots
Is to 10 inches apart, and cover
crowns with soil to proper depth. Cut
no asparagus the first year and only
a little the second. From then on it
will stand progressively heavier cut
ting until the fourth or fifth year, at
ter which it will stand cutting for 6
to 8 weesk or longer.
Gardeners wishing to grow their
own roots from seed may plant nur-
sery rows any time in spring or early
summer. Let the roots stand over
winter and transplant the following
spring to their permanent location, in
accordance with directions given a.
bove.
