Tillable land in U S under cultivation debate grows
A 27 percent figure for tillable U S land under cultivation comes from the Agriculture Department via 35 000 correspondents. State estimates show Maryland with six million acres and less than 40 percent cultivated. The item notes potential for expansion and cites the Maryland Manual 1913 1914, compiled by Secretary Robert P. Graham, with 270 pages detailing colonial governors officials and legislators.

Legislative Notes Proposes Married Women as Personal Representatives
Senator J Frank Harper introduces a bill to amend the Code of Public Civil Laws allowing married women to hold letters testamentary or administration without their husbands joining in the bond, phrase same as for unmarried individuals. Senator Williams of Cecil also seeks to repeal Harford racing measure, arguing Havre de Grace horse races benefited the county.

Prominent figures and presidents are anticipated to attend, with extensive regional preparations announced.

Seaford roads seek substitution of shells with clay gravel
A Seaford county movement advocates replacing oyster shells on roads with clay and gravel to cut costs and improve quality. In Kent county Delaware two nearby fires caused major damage, one at Dinah's Corner on the Orton farm destroying outbuildings worth about 2000 dollars, and another near Seven Hickories on Harry Wright’s farm burning dwellings and outbuildings except the granary. The Delmarvin Press Association held its first annual meeting last April at the Hotel duPont with a luncheon by the Chamber of Commerce and speeches by visiting editors and chamber members.
