real fisherman, in spite of his
youth, by hooking a very large
bass. However, when he finally
pulled it alongside the boat and
got a good look at it, he became

fish, rod and reel. Lou finally
fished the rod and reel out of the
lake, minus the bass.

weather-seamed face, grunted
as he tamped home the last
cylinder of dynamite with a
long wooden pike.
This system might not be
the best for blasting" he said,
but it's a lot better than In
the old days, when we had
to light fuses by hand"
Quarrying, he says, hasn't
changed much in the rs
years he has been In the buSi-
ness. Blasting by remote con-
troll and drilling the dyna-
mite holes in the rock by COM
pressed air drill. instead of
by hand, are the only major
developments he considers
noteworthy.
In the old days, when we
lit fuses by hand, we had to
have. say, five or six lengths
of fuse. The first ones we
lit. of course, we're longer;
the next ones were shorter,
and when we got to the last
and shortest fuse we'd light
it and run. They'd all 60 of
at about the same time.
"The way we do 1t today
suits me better. You've got
arms and legs-you might as
well keep EN-"
After he had finished
planting the sticks of dyna-
mite in nine holes, each 10
feet deep, and in one hole
6 feet deep, he attached an
electric cap to one of the
sticks In each hole, in most
cases the second from the
top, and then f1xed the wir-
ing to trail back out Of range.
Then, making sure his work.
men were out of the danger
zone, he walked back to River
road, on which his quarry
fronts.
He sent two workmen about
100 yards along the road in
either direction to wave red
flags and halt oncoming
automobiles. From his posi-
ton behind an abutment of
rock he could see that the
road on both sides was clear.
Suddenly he shouted, "Fire!"
the traditional cry of
quarry-blasting-and, a mo-
ment later, pushed down the
plunger on a boxlike contrap-
ton which activated a mag
neto and sent an electric i'm
pulse toward the dynamite In
the quarry.
Immediately, there was a
dull rumble from the quarry,
a splattering on the leaves
and tree limbs Of flying rub

Of grayish stone dust lifted
toward the road.

Swine Production
Bulletin Available

The loss of pigs each year is one of
the heavy tolls of the livestock in
dustry. These losses may be greatly
reduced, according to University of
Maryland Extension Service Bulletin
No. 1O4. The bulletin entitled more
Pork With Less Feed, outlines sew
eral inexpensive methods Maryland
farmers can put to practical use.
The seven suggested practices for
increasing the efficiency of pork pro
duction are: (D Prepare to raise the
pigs free from worms through sani-
tation, ca Save more pigs at farrow-
ing by preparing the pen ahead Of
time and by giving the pigs proper
attention after narrowing, CD Feed
efficiently by using balanced ration.
ca Use pasture as much as possible,

wean them properly, CO. Manage
sows to produce two litters a year.

Strip Mining Law
Is Held Invalid

Maryland's strip-mining law was
declared unconstitutional last Friday
by the states highest court. In a
unanimous decision the Court of APP
peals declared the law invalid because
of a clause exempting Garrett county.
Maryland's only other coal producing
county is Allegany.
The 1947 Act required coal COM
panies to fill in and level off open
pit mines so that trees and grass
could grow over the scars in the
earth. THE exemption of Garrett
County from the provisions of the act
renders the act void" the court said.
There is no difference in conditions
that would make strip mining men
ace to public health and safety in AL
legany but harmless in Garrett. There
is not rational basis for the territorial
classification and no justification for
discrimination between Garrett and
Allegany counties. 1t violates both
the federal constitution and the Mary
land Declaration Of Rights" the court
said.
When introduced in the General AS
sembly the measure applied to both
of Western Maryland's coal counties.
Before it was finally passed at the
November, 1917 special session, Gar
rctt Legislators eliminated their coun-
ty.
