IS HOME
OF GOOD FARMLAND
State Has Reason To Feel Proud
OF Its Rural Life, Says
DR.. Woods
SOME ARE THE FINEST

Dr. A. F. Woods, president of the
University OF Maryland. who is \
stauneh believer in the future sue
cess and progress OF the agricultural
interests of Maryland, is equally as
certain that farmers of this state have
reason to be proud of their achieve
ments in the agricultural line. which
he says, have dated back to Colonial
days In speaking along this line
Dr. Woods also called attention TO the
fact that Maryland farmers have been
in the forefront of practically every
movement for. those agencies which
tend to strengthen the morale of the
various interests of the state and also
those agencies which always pilot the
way to cleaner mad better living.
Some of the finest farms in the
country have been developed in
Maryland, insists DR.. Woods. and
many of these farms have the finest
homes in the world. wherein refine
ment and culture have found express
sion From these very homes are
coming today the inspiration for an
even better and greater Maryland.
Speaking further on the question of
Maryland farms and farm homes, DR..
Woods said:
THE movement for community or
"a
United States. started in Maryland
nearly one hundred years ago. More
than so years have elapsed since the
establishment of the first college of
agriculture in America was chartered
| in this State. Today that college of
agriculture (now known as the Uni
versity of Maryland) takes a COM
handing position among the famous
State universities and colleges that
have been dedicated TO the peoples
service to help them get the most out
of life by serving best, and the very
best that science, skill and art have
been able to discover in education is
made available to the young men and
women or this State
DR., Woods pointed out, and with
emphasis, that the university is train
| ing young men, and women who will
help preserve the best traditions OF
the, commonwealth; young men and
women who will help to make its
schools, its farms and farm homes the
most attractive and successful in the
nation, They will also builds its
roads and harness its water power,
they will improve the soil. the crops
and the livestock; they will fight dis
ease and learn not only to produce
efficiently. but to market efficiently
| and probably. The university. he
added, would continue to be an insti-
tuition devoted principally to the de-
yeiopment of rural interests and to
the maintenance of that high standard
of living which, is the bedrock of ma
tional life.

PLAN 4 Cover Crop CampaIgn


The severe drain on soil fertility
from growing emergency food crops
during the war makes il more than
ever important TO now grow restora-
tive crops. We must not only main
tain but increase our soil fertility ii
profitable production of our money
crops can be continued under the new
conditions A concerted campaign
engaged in b. extension workers, the
press. bankers, business men, and
farm organizations could arouse the
necessary interest and enthusiasm to
insure a great increase in cover crop
planting this iall The extension
forces of the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture and the State
Agricultural Colleges can plan such q
campaign. assist in arousing interest
and furnish information as TO cover
crops best adapted TO particular sec
tions. but they must have the moral
and financial backing OF the other
agencies named TO make such cam
paign complete success. Especially
can business men and bankers or their
organizations be of great service by
assisting and arranging for an eco
nomical supply of seed and fertilizers
as we'll as by using their influence te
induce farmer customers to SOW
suitable cover crops on their farms
this fall
The time for sowing fall crops is al.
most here. Consult your Count.

Sow Cover Crops On Every
Farm, Department Advises


The United States Department of
Agriculture. in connection with CO.
operative extension work in Agricul-
ture and home economics, has issued
the following bulletin urging sowing
OF cover crops on every farm:
Before the great war progress had
been made toward getting some kind
of cover crops sown each fall on
Southern farms. County Agents ana
other extension workers stressed their
importance and each year thousands
OF demonstrations gave ocular proof
Of their value. Following the outbreak
Of the war, however. there was great
decrease in the acreage sown TO such
crops This was due TO labor short
age. high-priced seed, unsettled ccndi-
tons, and particularly TO the stress OF
food productioR
We should now endeayor to regain
the lost ground and again stress suit
able cover crops as part of the farm
system for the South. Let US try 70
make the early slogan of the Farmers
COOPERATIVE Demonstration Work,
Cover Crops on Every Farm"-a
reality in every county in. the South
this year
Winter cover crops have special
value on Southern farms. They pro-
tect the land from washing, prevent
loss of plant food by teaching, furnish
grazing for livestock during the win
ter months, and in the spring may be
plowed under to the great bene-
fit OF the soil, or left for harvest for
hay. grain or seeds.
Crops To Consider
The small grains and the clovers
are the most satisfactory crops foI
this purpose. They are all adapted to
Southern conditions and soils. In
most of the Southern States oats is
the most important small grain. Not
over rs per cent of the amount needed
for some consumption is now grown
The acreage in fall oats should be
greatly increased. They can be pro-
duced eheaply, mature early, and can
be followed in most of the States by

Rye is better than fall sown oats in
the northern tier of States of the
Suthern group.
Oats. rye, wheat. bur clover, Grim

The choice viii depend on your soil

FEDERAL REsGRvG BOARD TOLD
THAT IMMEDIATE RELIEF

BLAME EASTERN BANKS
srockMeN FORCED TO ogll
YOUNG STOCK 70 RUiNoUo
TO INDUSTRY.

wsslsrn Nsvspapss Unioa News SssvSeA
Washington. Sept. 2l.-Relief from
what was described a. possible de-
struction Of the livestock industry
through curtailment Of banking loans
was sought from the federal reserve
board by u committee Of livestock pro.
ducerx. They asked the board to en-
courage banks Of the reserve system
to aid them financially In raising and
marketing their product.
The committee. which came - The
representatives Of Chicago confer.
encc Of producers, packers and bank
crs, predicts dire consequences to the
livestock industry throughout the West
unless bankers and cattle loan com
panies discontinue calling" loans.
They said millions Of dollars In loans
were maturing this fall and they b.
licvcd q reinsurance from the board
that II approved such credit exten-
sion by the banks would materially
lessen the difficulties with which the
livestock men have to deal.
Governor Harding said the boards
policy has been to look upon the live
stock and other food producing indus
tries "as vitality essential" He ex.
pluinel the hoard could not direct OF
compel loans by any banks but that
II had planned with the reserve banks
for aid for the agricultural interests
to the extent Of nearly $1,000. 600 900
this year.
Committee spokcsmcn told the board
that, as a result Of the credit sltua.
tion "the little cowman or shcepman''
was being forced to dispose Of ysunS
stock which. II he could borrow more
money, would have been kept on the
farms and ranges. Frank J. Hagen
barth Of Salt Lake declared this to be
the indication Of "a destruction Of
the industry" The sale Of young live
stock or breeding herds, he said, was
being forced In many sections because
the owners were unable to finance the
feeding Of their herds. He said also
that In the Pacific Northwest there
was an abundance Of roughage but lit.
tie stock to feed It to because Of tight.
ened credit.
Governor Harding interrupted to 10.
sure the senator that the board could
not say to member banks that they
should or should not loan to the motor
manufacturer. He declared again that
It never had defined any industry q
essential or nOnessential, but had left
such decisions to local bankers.
Governor Harding said he did not
believe the producers who were Dor.
rowing were employing the credit that
they might withhold the meat supply
from the market. The boards infor.
nation. he said, showed the loans to
livestock men, in most all cases were
for actual production purposes. with
this sort Of use Of credit he said the
board was In entire accord. He added,
however, that the board was without
power to tender direct assistance. since
all banks control the loans they make,

New York. March 4.-The vastly better tone and increased activity manifested by the stock market to- day were popuiarly attributed to a lowering of the rate fer call money and the further strength of foreign exchange.

 There were many interesting ru- mors current in connection with the vigorous rise of the British remit tance. these including a prediction oi early heavy exports of gold from Lon don to this country.
