TOMATO !A.C,R!. ACREAGE Ih ESSs
Is CERTAIN IN HARTFORD
Cut OF 80 Per Cent. Advocated And
Curtailment OF 20 Per cent Seen
As Sure-192O Experience Re,
Sented.

Belair, Md, Feb 23-Probably
the greatest reduction in acreage and
production of tomatoes in the history
of Hartford county will be made this
year, according to the best-informed
agriculturists who attended a meet
ing Of tomato growers held in Bel
air few days ago.
A number of growers. smartfng
under their experience of last year.
did not hesitate to say that they have
enough Of the business and that they
did not intend to raise tomatoes this
year except for their own use. These
growers represented every section of
the country, which at one time was
one of the greatest tomato sections
in the country. Under the Hartford
plan for reduction of production, 1t
is proposed that the acreage be cue
at least so per cent this year.
While most do not expect such a
great reduction, it is conceded that a
20 Or 25 per cent, reduction will take
place this year. c. G. Smith, of
Darlington, one of the most inter-
ested farmers in the tomato situa-
ton, has a plan for forming groups
of growers in the different sections
of the county, have them fix a price
for their tomatoes and have the can
ners accept the price and sign a con-
tract.
Ask the Gamer how many acres
he wants" Mr.. Smith said, ''and
have him take the entire crop. Don't
grow tomatoes at loss; it would be
better to grow other crops. Last
year number of growers hauled
tomatoes to Baltimore and received
from 20 to 60 cents bushel, and
even then the buyers would not take
all."Mr. Smith further advised the
growers to stop selling in the BaIti-
more markets, where they have to
complete with seconds" shipped
there from New Jersey and other
points.
I'VE want Our own Gamers to
have all of our tomatoes and they
should make it worth while for us
to grow Them" he said. The grow
ers will certainly keep on going to
pieces unless we organize and stick
together. We were hit hard last
year"

The most prolific sources of
enormous fortunes in the past have
been oil, steel, railroads and trac-

latterly, automobiles. During the
last few years the biggest sums have
been made from war activities, from
oil, from tobacco, from autom obiles

have been off the list-and are like

There are evidences that both the legisla-

Washington thoroughly appreciates how remiss
the government has been In caring for its dis

In large measure, the governments activity
Is the result Of public opinion created by the

soldiers should keep ON agitating and exposing
every case Of abuse and neglect that can be
found. The nation can never pay in full its
debt to the disabled soldiers-the blind. the

But until 1t has done everything that it is
humanity possible to do to heal them and pro-

League Of Nations at Work.

In settling the Aaland islands dispute be-
tween Sweden and Finland, which a year ago
threatened war between the two countries, the
League OF Nations has functioned in a way to
challenge the admiration even Of its most
severe critics. This particular activity Of the
league is Of special interest to America, - one
of the three commissioners appointed to work
out the solution is an American-Abram Elkus,
former ambassador to Turkey.
The commissions report, recently submit
ted for approval Of the league council: declares
that Finland's right of sovereignty 10 incon-
testable and that to deprive Finland OF the
islands would be depriving it Of part Of what
rightfully belongs to it This, notwithstanding
the fact that of the $4,000 population Of the
islands. Ss per cent are Swedish speaking.
The commission does not side-step the self
determination question involved in the dispute,
but frankly says that in this case self-deter-
mination should not apply, for the reason that
the Swedish population Of the islands IL only
a small part Of the Swedish population Of Fin
land - whole and that the position Of the
majority Of the Swedes in Finland would b.
islands from Finland.
There il good reason to believe that thu
league council will approve the commission'a
decision and that Sweden will accept the yer.
dict against her, thus vitalizing the most i'm.
portant function Of the league-the settlement
of disputes between nations BY the process Of
peaceful arbitration instead of by war.
