will be the outstanding features of
Farmers Day at the Maryland State
College Of Agriculture, College Park,
On Saturday, May 20.
The program for this seventh an
nual event promises to be more than
usually interesting and ARRANGEMENTS
are being made to care for hundreds
OF visitors from every part of the
State. Every effort has been made
BY the faculty of the College and the
corps OF specialists connected with the
Extension Service and the Expert
ment Station to make the day one of
profit and pleasure to those who at
tend.
In addition to the regular train and
trolley service to the College, the Bal
timore and Ohio Railroad will operate
several specials, both from Baltimore
and Washington, to handle the pas
sengers between those two cities and
College Park.
PROGRAM COVERS WIDE FIELD.
The program for the day will cover
Q broad field of agricultural activities,
so that there will be some particular
feature Of especial interest to each
visitor who will have the opportunity
OF watching such demonstrations as he
most desires to see. A varied and en-
pertaining program has been arranged
Tor the women by the Home Demon
stration Department.
The demonstration work will begin
at o'clock In the morning and from
that time until 1 o'clock, representa-
lives of each department will be pres
emit to explain the various exhibits.
Guides will be on hand to meet the
visitors and show them to the points
where the demonstrations are in prog
ress.
At IL o'clock motion pictures will
be shown in the auditorium IN the
Agricultural building and at o'clock
the address of the day will be de-
livered by the Secretary of Agricul-
ture. The ball game is scheduled for
4 o'clock.
Owing to the high price and scarcity
Of labor, It is expected that the farm
ers will show particular interest in the
demonstrations of labor saving mach
inery and the specialists in charge of
this part of the program will take the
opportunity to point out that the more
extended use Of machinery on the
farm Is one of the very best methods
Of combating the present labor situa-
ton.
TRACTOR DEMONSTRATION.
In this connection the use of the
tractor in belt work will be demon
strated. Many farmers have wrongly,
come to the conclusion that the tractor
has little value outside of its function
in pulling the pillow and the cultivator.
Consequently the tractor is put to
work on many farms for a period of
approximately one month and stands
idle during the remainder of the year
The many uses to which this valuable
machine may be put by applying the
power from the belt will be demon
strated. the idea Icing to show that

Austria aud Germany are nearing completion by the constant arrival of ships at Hamburg bearing condensed milk, beans and bacon. The food is gradually being piled in the Hamburg storehouses and when all of it has arrived careful distribution to avoid illicit trade will be begun.

 Czecho -slovakia Min be supplied di- rect by the Elbe river from Hamburg to Aussig. This route IS slower but safer, in view of the numerous rail7 road robberies in Germany and the crippled condition of railway traffic. Food for Austria and Hungary will be sent in guarded trains to Ratisbon, where it will be transferred to barges for tranportation down the Danube The sea route from the United States will keep Danzig and Poland supplied.
 According to Major Goldsmith drafts against the food stores are already cir culating in the United States in multi ples of $10.

F FRENCH JOURNAL SAYS EUROPE MUST HAVE RAW MATERIAL
In Spite of Recommends tiOns Not to Increase Inn ports, Liesse Says Same
 Cannot Be Done
By AsoeIa,sa Pr,ss

Paris Saturday. February 7.-In
 an editorial dealing with the ex-
 change situation. Andre LiesSc,
 member of the institute and editor
 of the Weekly Journal Econois Te,
 points out that in spite of all the
 recommendations not to increase
 imports, it Is impossible to re-
 nounce the obtaining of raw ma
 terials indispensable to industries
 and economic resurrection and
 foodstuffs, such as wheat.
 If the reproaches of the United States that we have shown want of foresight in our economic and finan- cial policy since the armistiee are ex- aggerated because our transatlantic critics are unable to appreciate the depth and seriousness of our wounds many of them are deserved"
 M. Liesse said that the writer ad- mits that there has been lack of CO., herent policy, but declares individual initiative has produced results. prov ing it has been able to act With re- gard to international conferences to remedy exchange. NJ. Liesse does not seem hopeful. He says
 Opinions may differ as regards the results such conferences could give if they could be held. They could hardly take positive resolutions, owing to the private interests involved It is to be hoped they would not involve too many delegates, as that would result in fail ure. The delegates stould bring def mite plans from the governments and the financial. commercial and indus trial groups they represent
 In the suggestion of Carter Glass, former Secretary of the United States Treasury, that European countries per- init the export of gold NJ. Liesse says: "A kind of irony" He points out that the $500. 000,000 francs of Frances gold reserve would not weigh much in com parison with the 10000, 00O, 000-f franc deficit between her imports and ex- ports last year. England is not in much better position, he says
 M Liesse declares he thinks it pos sible that loans could be raised from American banks to finance exclusively the purchase of raw materials and in- dispensable foodstuffs. He concludes:
 Americas lett motif is balance your receipts and expenses A good com mencement will be to reimburse the Bank of France with part of the forth coming loan which will certainly be an element of confidence in the eyes of those from whom we demand credit"
