County action on Denton school building shocks readers
The county commissioners’ Thursday decision to reduce the proposed Denton school building levy meets stern public disappointment. They cut the annual allocation by 1300 dollars to fund other measures, prompting concern that essential school services face retrograde changes amid broader Maryland politics and gubernatorial speculation. The piece also notes Maryland figures weighing governor and presidential year implications. It ends with a letter to the Journal praising the Maryland Agricultural College and its rising educational standards.

Agricultural College urged farmers to adopt plant food unit system
R W Silvester president of Maryland Agricultural College promotes unit pricing on fertilizer to reveal true value. He cites available potash and phosphoric acid as key factors, urges farmers to buy by unit rather than ton and to study market data for informed purchase. The note praises the Experiment Station and calls for stronger support from farmers. A fire at Laurel Delaware destroys 74 buildings, threatening town centers before succumbing to efforts with Wilmington aid.
