from his own county, he makes ap-
plication to the Farm Labor Bureau,

Being a State Office, no charge is
made to the farmers asking for
farm hands. but in cases where there
is transportation charge In getting
the help from one county to another,
the farmer is expected to pay that
charge, and in making application
to his County Agent for farm help,
he is expected to state just what his
needs are, whether he wants a man
for temporary or permanent work,
whether he prefers a married or
single man, whether he will provide
lodging and board or just lodging
or Just board. whether he has tenant
houses for married help, what he
will pay and the character of work
he expects to have done. With this

THE FARM LABOR BU-

TON WITH THE FARMER
County Agent, Under Maryland
Council Of Defense Law, To
Aid Farmer In Every
Phase Of Increased
Production.

Under the Act of the General
Assembly at its special session last
June, when 1t passed a law authoriz-
ing a Council of Defense for Mary
land, appropriating one million dol
lars for its preparatory work for
war, it stipulated that 100000 of
the million was to be spent toward
agricultural development and extern
sion and the conservation of food
The increased planting of food
stuffs, which is yielding almost
double production, requiring more
farm labor than heretofore, coming
at a time. when a scarcity of labor
IS being felt in every line Of work,
due to the men being drawn from
the fields to the ranks of military
service, and to the demand for labor
made necessary by increased pro-
duction in materials for warfare,
such as in the munition plants, ship
building yards and cantonments,
which are springing up in every
section in every state. II was neces-
sary for the protection of the farmer.
so that his crops would not suffer
from want of help TO harvest them,
to establish Farm Labor Bureau,
whose functions are TO provide suf-
f1cient labor to yield the greatest
production of the crops planted.
To reach the farmers of the State
and to provide speedy and efficient
working force to see that the wants
OF each county was supplied, the
Maryland Agricultural Extension
Service, with County Agents in each
of the counties, with the United
States Department of Agriculture
and the United States Department
of Labor, cooperating, have per-
fected their organization whereby
practical assistance can be given
any farmer of the State in need of
help along the agricultural line
Extraordinary efforts are being
made by County Agents to have the
farm laborers in their county work
the full week, as we'll as trying to
have those who have left farm work
for other vocations, to go back on
the farm, and in many instances the
County Agents have been able to fill
the requests for farm labor without
going out of their county for
help, which class of help is most
desired by the farmers. Il cases

MARYLAND'S CROPS
MUST BE SAVED
Every Man, Woman And Child
Can Render a Patriotic Service
By Helping Conserve Our
Food Supply.

Help must Immediately be given
the Gamers of Maryland, if President
Wilson's wishes are to be carried out
and If the war, which is involving
every civilized nation, is TO be won
by America
Every energy of the Government
has been concentrated on increased
food production. The farmers of
America have nobly responded to the
call and Maryland was no laggard,
as the present crop reports show, but
a condition has arisen which calls
for the rank and file of our people
to respond to the appeal of Herber:
Hoover, In charge of the Nation 8
food to help conserve our increased
production and prevent a waste OF
perishable crops.
Cooperating with the Government
in its efforts to conserve all food
supplies, General Carl r. Gray,
Chairman of the Maryland Council
OF Defense has asked and received
the acceptance Of Messrs. c. G.
Honor, Jr., John B. Ramsey and
Walter B. Brooks to serve on a COM
mittee to assist the canneries in So
curing the necessary help to prevent
any waste or spoilage of perishable
crops and unless this Committee is
successful in its efforts, a great
amount of the increased food pro-
duced from the farms will be lost to
the country.
In 1916 Maryland packed over six
million cases of the thirteen million
cases OF tomatoes packed in the en-
tire United States and in addition
packed several million cases of corn,
peas and other canned vegetables
and fruits.
In 1917-this year-Maryland can
almost double her production. The
crops are ready to be picked Mary

possibly some of her allies from
starving. II the people Of MARYLAND

All Getting the Fever

Mt. Gilead, Feb. 3-A company is
now being organized to drill for oil
near iberia. Leases will be secured
and as soon as sufficient capital is
raised the drilling will be COM
menced.
Just where the work will be COM
menced has not been definitely de-
cided. For years there have been
surface indications which denote the
presence of oil and gas in this terri
tory. Well diggers have frequently
found gas pockets and other condi-
tions which lead them to believe that
oil existed. The belief of oil men that
the Caledonia well is located on the
edge of an oil territory has further
stimulated the desire to drill In this
county.

The news came as a shock to the

as trial lawyer he had few equals

earlier experiences at the bar with

Neighborhood

Wooster, Feb. 3-Having a dream
that her husband would meet a fate
similar to the one that happened to
those that were killed in the wreck of
the Cleveland Southwestern & Colum-
bus railway Saturday afternoon, Mrs.
William Gauweiler of Wooster tried
to persuade her husband, who was G.
motorman on these lines to remain at
home and not make his usual run. Mr..
Gauweiler did not heed the warning
of his wife and was burned to death
when the extra car, with no passen-
gers, which they were running, col
lided with a line car southbound
about three miles north of Wooster.
The extra car was northbound.
Mr.. Gauweiler was motorman on
the extra car and was caught in the
wreckage of the two cars. He was
thrown into the vestibule of the car
that he was running and was burned
to a crisp in the fire that broke out
within a few minutes after the acci-
dent occurred.
Bert Boone, who was riding in the
front end of the car with Mr.. Gau-
weller, was thrown out of the door of
his car. He received a fractured and
crushed left leg. Physicians at the
Wooster hospital said that it will not
be necessary at this time to ampu-
tate Mr.. Boone's injured left leg be-
