FARMERSHARD
HITBY SLUMP
Loss in Vegetables Severest
Growers Have Known,
Says Chief Granger.

The recent slump in the fresh
vegetable market has cost the far
mers of the country a tremendous
sum, loss more severe than any
he has ever known, according to the
statement made yesterday by Sher-
man J. Lowell, master of the Ma
tiOnal Grange, in Washington over
Sunday
Il have never seen the farmers
hit worse by the drop in prices and
the stagnation of their markets
than I have experienced on this
trip said Lowell. Potatoes have
slumped so that New Jersey grow
ers are faced with losses of a Sc
riOus character. The tomato market
has gone all to pieces, and thou
sands of bushels are rotting on the
vine, while other thousands are rot
ting on the loading platforms, be-
cause the growers are asked to pre-
pay freight. when their last ship
ment did not bring enough to pay
freight charges. The fruit market is
a little better, but the market for
water and musk melons, and for
cabbage and beans, is especially
bad"
Lowell said that in the past two
weeks he had been in Vermont,
Massachusetts,. New York. Pennsyl-
vania. New Jersey. Delaware and
Maryland, and found price condi-
tions for the growers bad everv-

State Senator Says Extra
Legislative Session Is
Only Remedy.
NEED POLLING PLACES
Women Enfranchisement
Makes More Voters Than
Can Be Accommodated.

The extraordinary situation
brought about by the adoption of
the Nineteenth amendment will re-
quire the calling Of a session of
the general assembly of Maryland
By the governor. in the opinion OF
State Senator Oliver MetZerott, of
Prince Georges county.
He says that as the law now
stands the supervisors of elections
are without authority to designate
new precincts or polling places, and
without additional polling places
it will be impossible for many men.
as we'll as women, to cast their
Votes on November ?.
How Law Now Stands.
The present law provides. says
the senator, that boards of super
yisors may create additional pre-
oincts, provided the registration
books Of any precinct contain more
than 500 names. and provided fur
ther that the proposed creation of
the new precinct is advertised for
at least three weeks before Sep
tember l, in order that the public
may have SUFFICIENT notice thereof.
The law recognizes the fact that
il is practically impossible to vote
more than 500 persons in the allot-
ted time at one polling place, this
being at about the rate of one voter
per minute. There are many pre-
cincts throughout the State where
the books Will show from 400 to
500 names at present
Hundreds Face Lockout.
The new registration of women
will substantially double these lists
of names and thereby create a sit
uation that will leave several hun
dred voters Of both sexes standing
outside Of the doors of the polling
places, awaiting their turn to enter
and vote. when the closing hour
arrives.
This is a difficulty which is en-
tirely outside of the question of
registering the large number OF
new voters in the time available
for registration under the law as
it stands.
The easiest and least expensive
solution of the problem would be
an emergency act" providing au
thority for two ballot boxes and a
double crew at each place where
its necessity is indicated. The com
puisory use of schoOlhOUses and
other public buildings for polling
places would be highly desirab
and would save the taxpayers a
large sum of money.
Unless the law is amended. many
men will be barred from voting in
the Presidential election of 1920.

OPPOSES BOOST
OF MILK PRICES
Walker Hill Dairy Manager
Calls Proposed Increase
Unjustihed.
STATEMENT Is ISSUED
Declares Grazing Condi-
tions Throughout Sum-
mer Have Been Ideal.
STATEMENT Is ISSUED

Claiming there is no necessity for
an Increase in the price of milk, de-
spite the proposed raise scheduled
for September l, the Walker Hill
Dairy. $40 Seventh street southeast.
yesterday announced its intention
TO refrain from raising prices, either
TO the producer or the consumer
The management of the dairy,
through its manager. W. A. Simp-
SON. makes the following state
ment:
Explains Attitude.
We are informed that the Mary
land and Virginia producers asso-
Citations have voted through their
executive committee to raise the
price of milk 1 cents per gallon the
first of September in spite of the ap-
peal of the health officer not to
raise il.
The management of this dairy
feels chat this raise is not justifi-
able at present.
Grazing has Been exceptionally
good this summer and promises 10
be excellent throughout the month
OF September.
Surplus of MIX.
There is a great surplus OF milk
on the market. An increase at this
time should and will react on the
producer by decreasing consump-
ton of milk
I'VE feel that the public should
have the beneft Of the unusual con-
ditions prevailing in the milk mar
ket, and wish to say that We do not
intend to raise the price OF milk
either TO the producer or the con-
sumner.
shippers Agreed.
We have already written our
shippers to that effect, and nearly
all have declared themselves (ver-
baliy) satisfied. II q shortage O.
milk occurs around the first of Sep
tember il will be due to an effort
to shorten the market. because 4,
present thousands of gallons are be-
ing held back in the country with
no market for it.
This dairy will not increase tho
price the first Of September. The
public should not stand for an in.
crease. The public has. by thii
time, learned the power OF boycot,
ting high prices and should not bt
backward in using it in this case.
