AUTOMOBILE ASSOCIATION INCONTROL.

State Road In Upper Part OfCounty Not To Be Completed-

At the meeting of the Cecil Farmers’Club held April 21, at the home of JohnH. Kimble, near Port Deposit, the com-mittee appointed in the interest of thecompletion of Rising Sun-Fair Hill Stateroad made a report which goes a longway toward substantiating the claim ofthe tax-payers of upper Cecil county,that not only Is the State Roads Com-mission dominated by the automobile as-sociations but it is these—same automo-bile associations that are preventing thecompletion of the State road in this sec-tion of Cecil county, as originally plannedby the Commission. It is very plain nowthat the taxpayers of upper Cecil countywill have to fight for every foot of. Stateroad in Northern Cecil in future, as thepowers in control of the State Commissiondo not intend any more of the State’smoney shall be expended in this section.The report of the committee follows:

Thecommittee on Rising Sun-Fair Hillroad,after two personal visits of one of our mem-bers, and after failingto receive any reply toa letter requesting an interview with theGood Roads Commission, make the followingreport“So far as we areable to determinefrom conversation with officials of the StateRoads Commission,and others with influencein road matters, there is no intention to con-nect the links of roads as first laid out in thiscounty, and started by the first State RoadsCommission. The large sum ofmoney cominginto our county by law of last legislature hasbeen spent on theroads running along the P.B. &.W. railroad, as requested by the Inter-national Automobile Association, and againstthe interests of the tax payers of the county.New York interests seem to control the situa-tion and further seem to be opposed to im.proving the other road. In view of past his-tory webelieve thay will do all in their powerto prevent us from having any say where themoney we pay In taxes shall be spent.” Thisreport is unanimously endorsed by the Club.

ALFALFA IN CECIL COUNTY.

Ten Year Old Alfalfa Field StillGood Producer.

■ G. F. Marsh Agent, who has been in-’ vestigating the alfalfa fields in the north-

ern part of the county, reports that on thefarm of John Bair, Vinegar Hill, he founcTa field of four acres that had been produc-

[ ing from three to four tons per acre fori the past ten years. Mr. Bair told him

: that it was the best milk producing feed• he had ever had and that be could work

his horses on the plow all day withoutgrain when fed alfalfa. Cecil Smeltzer ofthe same place, has a small piece that hasgiven very heavy yields for a number ofyears. Chas E. Moore of Colora, hasnine acres of mixed timothy and alfalfathat is giving good returns.

Sami Tyson of Rising Sun, hds a nine-acre field that for the past five years hasaveraged from four to four and a halftorts each year. Some farmers laugh atthe theory of inoculation and call it allfairy tales, but the truth of the theory isshown very clearly on one side of the fieldwhere in order to test this question, Mr.Tyson left a strip without inoculating theseed. For the first two years he said thatthere was very little difference, as theland was well manured and the alfalfalived on the nitrogen in the manure andwhat was already in the soil, but afterthis was used up the alfalfa on the unino-culated land gradually began to fail,while now there is almost no alfalfa onthe strip On the other hand there is agood stand on the rest of the field.

This will explain why so many of thealfalfa fields in Cecil county have died outafter the first or second year,—lack of in-oculation.

Mr. Tyson sowed thirteen acres last fallbut owing to a combination of late seed-ing and dry fall the root growth was veryshort and the greater part of it was heav*ed out during the winter. This did notdiscourage him in the least as when Mr.Marsh called he was busy drilling alfalfaon it again.

In order to show the value of alfalfa asa soil renovator Thomas Reynolds, RisingSun, grew one hundred bushels of corn tothe acre last season on four acres of al-falfa sod. He had seven acres of oneyear old alfalfa that he did not think wasthick enough to leave, so started to plowit. When he had it about half done thewarm weather came and it made sucha rapid growth that he was sorry hehad started plowing it, as he now thinksthat it would have paid better than anyother part of his farm. As he has hadalfalfa for several years he will miss itgreatly and does not know what he willdo for winter feed for his cows. This ex-perience shows the wisdom of gettinganother field sown to alfalfa before plow-ing up the alfalfa one now has.

He will sow four acres this fall, follow-ing potatoes, and also one acre this springwith oats as an.experiment.

W. K. Bird, Rising Sun, will also sowfour acres this fall and one acre thisspring, as an experiment and also to pro-vide inoculated soil for the fall seeding.

He told Mr. Marsh that he. wentvisiting and his horse had two feeds ofalfalfa while away and that when hebrought him home the animal threw allhis hay, which was good mixed timothyand red clover, out of his manger andwould not eat it.

T. K. McDowell tried alfalfa four orfive years ago and failed and was surethat it would not grow on the farm whenat the same time along the peach treeswhere he could not get with the plow,was alfalfa that was strong and healthy.
