Experimenting With Darley Barley Trial by Louis W Trail
Farmer Louis W Trail, a Talbot progressive grower, seeded thirty bushels of barley last September on 15 acres and harvested June 1. After field storage, threshing was completed July 25, yielding 603 bushels, about 40 bushels per acre and 20 bushels per seeded unit.

Procerdure and a Question of County Jails
The Den treville Observer criticizes a recently appointed Caroline county magistrate over an anomalous case. Charles Wilson was arrested in Caroline for stealing a wagon from Mr. Flarney in Queen Anne's. Justice Golt at Ridgely committed him to jail and ordered the sheriff to bring him back to Caroline for a further hearing, prompting questions about cross county imprisonment and the authority of a sheriff beyond his county. The Observer asks how a Queen Anne's sheriff could imprison a prisoner in another county and urges an explanation from the Oberver.
