The Tobacco Situation

The following is taken from the Bal
tinore News and is of interest to all
persons residing in the tobacco growing
sections of Southern Maryland
Owing 10 the alleged efforts of the
former management of the MARYLAND
Tobacco Growers Association to keep
up the price of their product despite a
declining market, it IS said. loss of
from $50, 900 to 81 900, 900 will be borne
this /, ear by Southern Maryland tobac-
co growers because of failure to dispose
of their commodity when they had the
opportunity.
With the season for tobacco buying
at an end and q comparatively dead"
market prevailing, there are said to be
approximately 10, 900 hogsheads of to-
bacco stored in the State Warehouse
and about 1000 of these belong to mem
bers of the Maryland Tobacco Growers
Association.
In addition to the 1000 hogsheads left
over from last years crop, 1t is said
there are now from 1000 to $4,000
hogsheads from this years crop stored
away in the barns in Southern Mary
land
According to one who is in close
touch with tie situation, the former
manager of 'he MARYLAND Tobacco
Growers Association refused bids for
;, tobacco received from the buyer of the
French Government, which has been a
consistent buyer of Maryland tobacco
fer years, and the French buyer filled
most of the orders outside of the Asso-
cation. AS matter of fact, it is said,
the French Government purchased only
ABOUT 200 hogsheads through the Mary
land Tobacco Growers Association,
and this purchase was made at the end
of the buying season.
The French Government buys prac-
tically one-third Of the Maryland tobac-
co crop and all of It's orders for this sea-
son have been filled, the buying having
been done practically independent OF
the Association.
George L. Gardiner, present manager
of the Maryland Tobacco Growers AS
ISOLATION, denied today that there was
any discrimination against his Assocla-
ton by the tobacco buyers. He also
said that the Association had no liked
prices for its tobacco and thatthe prices
deemed reasonable were based on the
1913 and 1919 prices.
There is absolutely no evidence OF
discrimination by the buyers on the
Baltimore market against the MarylanC
TOBACCO Growers Association, and il
Is fact that there IS no reason to dis
criminate against the Association,
SAID Mr. Gardiner.
Our Association is simply a bushes:
organ cation formed to secure the farm
er an equity in the situation along
many lines which he certainly has no
had and which he has been power es
TO obtain in previous years. And III
certainly has had no avenue along which
to proceed III order to obtain the man,
rights and privileges to which the farm
els of Southern Maryland are emit
tied

Price of land too high to be good
Farming Investment

AS result of the phenomenal ad-
vance in Iowa land values durlDg the
Spring and Summer of 1919, the Unlt-
ed States Department Of Agriculture,
in cooperaton with the Iowa State
College of Agriculture, made an in
yestigation, which shows that the prices
at which farm land was sold in many
sections of that State were too high 10
Justify the returns which can De made
from it.
1t was found that the average value OF
Iowa farm lands increased $lll per
acre in five years from 1915 TO 1920,
aad that $63 of this increa se occurred
between March, 1919, and March, 1920,
the twelfth month including the perIod
of the boom. Over 65 per cent Of the
sellers were farmers. while, contrary
to general belief perhaps less than
per cent of the buyers and but a little
over IL per cent of the sellers were
real estate men. The facts relative TO
the per cent of return on investment
in these lands which were brought Out
make it clear that they are valued IN
excess of their earning capacity. Inc
investigators point out that with land,
paying but per cent on capitalization
aad loans running at per cent or more,
buying a farm on a large margin Of
credit is a difficult undertaking for the
farmer of average ability az mana
ger.

Silesia Enthusiasm Grows

The monthly meeting of the Broad
Creek Citizens Association was held
Saturday, January g, at Silesia. DR..
Arno Viehoever presided. Although
this Association is still in its infancy,
if already has fifty members in good
standing, and bright and prosperous
future is predicted for this organiza-
ton owing to the hearty cooperation
of it's members and their families. The
darfting of the Constitution and By
Laws occupied the major portion OF
the time allotted for the meeting.
Other questions under discussion were
the Road and School Laws of the Coun-
ty establishment of a sCommunity
Library, adoption of Community
Song Book and Farmers Bulletins
issued by the u. s. Department of
Agriculture. Mrs. L. A. Mcdonald de-
livered an interesting address on the
handicap of the county school child in
getting an education, laying special en-
phasis on the necessity of consolidated
school as the only solution.of the prob
lem A short literary and musical
program followed the business meeting.

Reassessment of Property

The State Tax Commission and the
Commissioners of this county are con-
fronted with problem resulting from
the recent reassessment of property
throughout the county at the direction
of the State authorities. Recently the
County Commissioners spent several
days readjusting the assessment made
in Hyattsville election district, under
the direction of James H. Shreve, repre-
santing the State Tax Commission. In
is estimated that about SO per cent. OF
the property owners in this district
registered protest against the increased
assess ment, and in a number Of cases
reductions were made.
After this had been done, the Com
missioners passed a general order re-
ducing the assessment on all land in the
district IS per cent. The total of the
new assessment, as returned by Super
visor Shreve and his assistants, aggre-
gated S2,424 500, and, after deducting
$50, $50, the sum of the decreases made,
the remained an increase of 5000 ,7I7
over the old assessment.
Feeling that they should be given
the same consideration as to land assess
ments as was accorded Hyattsville dis
trict, large delegation of taxpayers
from Queen Anne district, farming
section, appeared before the County
Commissioners Tuesday asking for
reduction of Is per cent on their land
assessment. The Commissioners under
took to explain, it is said, the difference
IN the character of property in Hyatts-
Vile and Queen Anne district, the for
ner being thickly settled, while the lat
Ter is farming section. Now the com.
missioners are confronted with the ques-
ton whether it would be fair to put the
new assess ment into effect this year in
al the districts, when some Of them
have not been assessed. In other words,
10 put the new assessment into effect
this year would mean that some of the
districts would be taxed on greatly in.
creased assessabe basis, while other
districts would pay taxes according to
the old assessment.
1t is pointed out, for instance, that
the reassessnent in Riverdale district
has not been completed, and probably
will not be in time to make up the new
assessment books, and that to collect
taxes in Hyattsville, where the increased
assessment has been completed, and
allow taxpayers in Riverdale district to
pay on the old and lower assessment
would be unfair.
Another case is pointed out by the
| Queen Anne taxpayers. that of Bowie
district, where the reassessment has not
| been started. Bowie district, of course,
will be taxed under the present assess
ment, while Queen Anne would pay on
| the increased assessment.

The Woman's Club
OF
Mellwood District !

The Washington Times hiss arranged
to print several Of the recipes from tn e
Mellwood Cook Book each day giving
| full credit to the Club, and to the mem
bers of the club who contributed the
recipes. In this way the Cook Book
will receive the greatest advertising
| good, and what is of great advantage
at no cost to the club. This is the
offer of the editor of the Magazine Sec
tion Of the Washington Times, herself
a women, and interested in the doing
of women.
The sales of the Cook Book are very
brisk, and three agencies have been
arranged in Baltimore, besides much
personal work in the way of advertis-
ing has been done there. In Scranton,
Pa, there 10 lively int crest and sew
eral centers have been formed in that
city for the sending out OF notices of
the book. AS far west as Cali
fornia, and as far north as Canada the
book has gone. Many who have sent
for book, write back asking that an
other be sent as the one bought, has been
taken by someone who refuses to re-
turn it.
One very interesting thing that comes
to the notice Of those who have been
sending out the books, is the great
number of men who have been buying
the book. It Is often matter OF con-
lection as to whether the book is per-
chased for the wife, or whether after
all the men aren't taking to the cooking
in these days of few servants What
ever at is, the book is very much sought
after by men and they send additional
copies too.
On Friday of next week, January
21st, there will be held a Library Tea
at the h ,me of Mrs. Irving Bowie, from
3 until 8 p. N. There will be no pay
ment Of money but every visitor will
bring at least one book. This may be
one that has been read, but it must be in
perfect order. These books, will be
the property Of the Library of The
Womans Club of Mellwooh District.
Already about q hundred books have
been given, and it is hoped that there
will be enough to give this privilege
to the members during this winter. Mrs.
Ober, is the Librarian and will be ready
10 distribute books at the Club meeting,
which will be at her house, on Febru-
airy 1st at 2 p. m.

Electricity and the ''Man Hour"

1t used to take two men or man
and a boy to operate a tanning mill,
one to turn the crank and one TO feed
the grain into the mill. In the old
days before the imam hour" was a
matter of interest to the farmer this
was not considered matter of very
great Importance. But with applica-
ton Of business efficiency principles TO
the new business of farming the mod
ern farmer is making an effort to- see
that every hour of labor produces just
as much as possible. For this reason
he welcomes any means of enabling one
nan to do the work which used to re-
CURE two. The tanning mill is merely
one example of an old-fashioned two
man j oh. Others that might be men,
tione are the corn shelter. the grind
stone and the horse clipper.
Today nearly all these two men jobs
can be performed by one man. This
has been accomplished by substituting
small electric motor for the man VIII @
formerly turned the crank. The mo-
tors are made either to be attached
perman emily to the machine IN ques-
ton, if it is one which is used frequent
Nv. or to be moved about from one
machine to another where the fmach-
! inc is used occasionally. For the lat.
ter kinds of use the motor is mounted
on a small three-legged stand and il
equipped with pulley having severa
grooves of different diameter. The ole
hand crank is removed from the mach
inc and ruIley s:itted to. the cranl
shaft. Pulleys of this kind are now
made with an assortment of bushingt
which allow the puIleys to be fitted t.
shafts of diff arent sizes.
A belt is then over the motor pulley
and the large pulley on the cranl
shaft and the switch is turned. Tn
electric power which Immediately be
gins to turn the shaft is smooth an
Strong and for every hour it runs, a
imam hour" is saved.
