Oyster Culture Law Amendments Promised By Shell Fair Commission
The Shell Fair Commission urges legislative amendments to the oyster culture law as vast natural oyster grounds near completion. It estimates 350000 acres, excluding the natural bar, could be brought under profitable culture, with about 100000 acres first class land ready for leasing. Chesapeake Bay area is cited as a premier oyster region, needing fostered legislation to grow Maryland’s industry and state revenues. The commission notes rents on barren bottoms hinder development, and ties industry growth to road funding. President Gorman will oppose adopting any resolution ratifying a proposed income tax amendment.

Plowing A Guide From An Experienced Agriculturist
A veteran agricul turist offers practical plowing advice noting that one acre with a ten inch furrow slice covers about nine and a half miles of travel. He warns against plowing wet stiff clay soils and explains lime as helpful, while dry grassland remains hard to break up. Early fall is ideal for stiff clay, and plowing light gravels is easier, with loams requiring precise timing to avoid poaching from early or late plowing. Furrow slices should be narrow and seven inches deep to keep soil mellow and land airier after tillage.

Sunday church attendance and changing social habits
Ministers complain about many people not attending church on Sundays while elders note a shift from former custom when all ages attended. The piece questions how many can offer a legitimate excuse for missing services, suggesting perhaps only a quarter truly could.
Sermon on the narrow gate and wise builders
The lesson contrasts true and false discipleship with warnings against false teachers. It extends to the narrow road to life versus the broad path to destruction, and the parable of the two builders shows rock hard faith versus sandy foundations. Jesus is the rock, and mere profession without action fails in judgment.

These Fox Hunters Had Gold Feet
Fox hunters chased a fox in dense woods and heard a distant bell. They searched left and right but found only woodland until the jingling bell returned. An old fox hunter spoke of dates at home as the dogs lost interest. Near the woods a buzzard flew low, its neck bell ringing.
