What Will They Do about 1t?

In speaking of the tobacco situation
in Southern Maryland, the La Plata
Times Crescent" in its last issue says:
With many farmers In possession Of
wo crops of tobacco, namely, the crops
nf 1919 and 1920. the sit tuation in South
ern Maryland at the outset of 1921 is
anything but encouraging. Our farm
ers are experienced in tobacco produc.
ton. 1t has been the staple crop of
this section of the State for more than
century, and it naturally follows that
it will be difficult to induce those en-
gagged in agriculture here to adopt any
substitute for tobacco. But that our
farmers must en- rage in other lines of
production is imperative, Can be readi-
Iy noted by the careful observer.
There is today the largest surplus of
old tobscco in the State warehouse
which has been found there at this per-
lod of the yeaI, in many years. Statis-
tics show that the Maryland crop Of
1920, which will shortly fad its way to
market, is the largest grown in many
years. The quality of this latter crop
if said to be far beyond the average,
while the quality of so much of the
1919 crop, as remains unsold, is said to
be exceedingly inferior. These two
crops are sufficient, in their aggregate,
to more than supply all apparent de-
mands for Mary land tobac co during the
next two years. If farmers are to hold
it under the plan of the Tobacco Grow
ers' Association, for living prices, then
there is but one alternative in order to
secure such prices. That alternative
is to grow smaller crops of tobacco dur
ing the year 1921. Reports from Leaf
| tobacco dealers indicate that there is
competitive bidding for light handled
| bright tobacco, while the heavy, short
| dark grades are drudge on the mar
ct. The production of any great
amount of the latter grade of tobacco
can only result in the further depre-
| citation of the price Of tob .cco of like
grade, now on the market, and will have
the disastrous leffect of putting those
who produce such tobacco deeper il
debt, through making them large hold
| ers OF uon-maI ketaole commodity.
Something else may be substituted or
the farm TO engage the time and labor
which would otherwise be employed IL
the production of one hundred pc
cent crop of tobacco. At first glance
il would seem that hay would CONF

average farm IN Southern does u ot pro
duce hay for the immediate use upon
it. Vast sums Of money are annual,
sent away from the pr oceeds of the to
bacco crCp for the purpose of purchas
ing hay and other feed upon the farm
Besides there is always local marke
for hay and feed whi ch usually is sup

Maryland. Again many of our farmer
are in a position to eng lge in the mil

The funeral of Edwin B. Du Val
who died Saturday at his home 220e

Burial was in Lorraine Cemetery. Mr..

The County Commissioners had con-
ference with the State tax commission
in Baltimore Monday of last week.
Despite the fact that but nine of the
19 election districts in the county have
been re-assessed, the commissioners
were directed to put the new assess
menJ into effect this year in the dis
tricts where the re-assessment has been
completed. The equitable thing to do
would be to tax all districts under an
assessment applicable to all districts
1t is said to be not at all unlikely that
the districts apparently Disseminated
against will take legal steps to upset
the tax commissions edict.

Keeping Boys on the Farm

There is only one way to keep your boy
any boy-on the farm, says the Mary
land Farmer. Encourage him to de-
velop a love for things of the soil.
You can not drive him to it any more
than YOU can make horse drink. Let
him feel the pride Of possession, let him
own a pig or two; have him raise corn
or potatoes on his own account. He
won't neglect your work to take care
of his own. Instead he will help you
more willingly and at the same time
develop a bank account of his own.
If your boy is not enrolled in the Boys
Club Movement put him in touch with
your County Agent today.

I have had a number Of letters pro

unified we shall not get the best re
suits.
My Information is that the present
owners Of this railroad. having iunked
