Says Crisis Is Over

The crisis of the Maryland Tobacco
Growers Association has been passed.
The determination of those loyal men,
bers whose faith in the great purpose
of the Association has remained un-
shaken, and whose realization that up
on the maintenance of the Organization
depended the future welfare
of the tobacco growers of Mary
land, has made this present assurance
of success possible.
In the face of serious mistakes that
were made in the early life of the As
sociation, in defiance Of the anticipat-
ed opposition Of those governed entire
ly by selfish motives, and notwith-
standing the disloyalty of some of its
own members. the Association has
overcome every obstacle that threaten
ed its success, and is today giving to
the farmers of Southern Maryland a
service that is invaluable and which is
conceded by every fair minded man.
1t is admitted, even by the most vio-
lent non-members, that the good prices
commanded by the better grades of
tobacco on the Baltimore market are
due solely to the existence and opera
ton of the tobacco growers organiza-
ton. The great reduction in the
srstwhile almost prohibitive prices of
fertilizer can only be traceable to the
efforts of the same organization
through the Agricultural Corporation.
And vet, in the light of these accom-
plishments effecting vitality the material
welfare of our people, there are those
among US who withhold their coopera-
ton. Think it ovex, Mr.. Farmer, and
see if you are playing fairly with your
self or with your neighbor. Your atten-
ton will be called from time to time,
thr ugh these columns, ito the work the |
Association is doing. The Organiza-
ton will continue to serve you. En-
able that service to reach its maxim |
by the enthusiastic cooperation of |
every well-thinking farmer of Southern /
Maryland.

 Farmers to Organize
By Associated Press

Washington, January 28.-The na. tional agricultural conference, which closed it's sessions last night, after adopting recommendation designed to alleviate present farm depression and prevent recurrence of such a condition, was hailed as "the most far-reaching conference of farmers ever held" in statement tonight by J. R. Howard, president of the Amer ican Farm Bureau federation, one of the largest farmers organizations.
 The recommendation of the con- ference were indorsed by MT. Howard tonight, and during the day were made the basis of study by secre- tary Wallace and other officials upon whom will devolve the task of mak ing them effective.
 Referring to President Harding 8 sug ggestion in opening the confer ence that the farmers of the nation seek to unite in cooperative organi- zatlons, Mir. Howard in his statement said:
 "The farm bureau will undertake to organize all the farmers of the nation and unite them into strong commodity marketing associations which will improve the distribution of food to the lasting benefit of both consumer and producer. We want to bring the eater and the grower closer together"
 Far-Reaching Conference
 The national agricultural confer once will go down into history as the most far-reaching conference of farmers ever held the statement said "The topmost feature, Of course, was the address of the President of the United States and the commit ments which 1t contained of the ad- ministration's attitude toward agri- culture.

 Later the officers were informed he was hiding in the cellar of resi- dence.
 Deputy Marshal George Brown telephoned for achievements when Davis barricaded himself in the room under the theory that the man sought would surrender when he appreciated large numbers were present to force his arrest.
 Had the officers originally broken in the door and the prisoner offered resistance it seemed certain that either the man or officers would have been shot, the officers declaring for a certainty that the chambers of the revolver which Davis flourished had been emptied of cartridges.
 Due for Atlanta
 Assistant United States Attorney James Smith prepared transfer pa sent to Judge ". I. Grubb at Atlanta for signature. after which Davis will be sent to Atlanta, now being held on s10.000 bond.

Wife of Sheriff
 May Enter Race
 to Succeed Hin,

Selma, January 2s.-tspecial.) Dallas county is about to have woman candidate for sheriff. ac- corcing to the gossip this after noon. It is stated reliably that the race will be made by Mrs. Pearl Watts Stanfill, who Is the wife of Norman Stanfili. the pres sent sheriff. Mrs. Stanfill tonight declined either to confirm or deny the probability of her can didacy.
 Two other candidates for sher- if have already announced-- Percy Dawson. former chief of police, and Sam Lacey. It is probable that there will be ono or two other candidates.
 The indication that Mrs. stan fill will run has aroused unique interest. especially fin that Dal- las county woman should be the first to propose to enter . race for so important an office as sheriff. Mrs. Stanfill is the mother of two daughters. who are in school here, and has been characterized by retiring dis position such as would hardly be expected to be found in a woman seeking the office of sheriff.

MANY VESSELSARE
 IN DISTRESS AS
 RESULT OF STORM
Shipping Along Virginia Coast Is Jeopardized by Gale. Rough Seas Prevent
 Rescue Work
By A.socIated Pr.ss

Norfolk, Va, January 2S.-Heavy seas, swept up by gales of high ve- locity, accompanied by snow, jeopar- dized shipping all along the Virginia and North Carolina coast throughout today, and tonight the storm con- tinued unabated. Prospects were, weather bureaus reported, that it would continue through tomorrow.
 Cape Henry weather bureau rec orded the wind velocity there at 54 miles an hour. Only a few ships ventured out from this port.
 Reports of distress of varying de- grees came from all directions by wireless. though no vessel was re- ported in precarious position.
 Two barges with eight men aboard, bound from New York to Norfolk, broke adrift from the tug Peerless north of Cape Charles. The tug re- ported by wireless that it was run ming before tho sea and could not stop to search for its tow. The tugs in distress were the ". R. Mo- Donald and the Catonsviiie. Late to- night no report had been received of the Catonsville, but this afternoon the steamer Munabro reported that it was standing by the ". R. Mc- Donald five miles southeast of Cape Charles.
 No Assistance Sent
 Although both barges were within 40 miles of Hampton Roads, no as- sistance could be sent out tonight tug owners being unwilling to risk their craft in the rough seas
 Seven vessels in all were reported in distress. Among them were the ! two barges, the w. R. Mcdonald ana 1 the Catonsville, the schooner Blanche 1 Cj Pendleton. the naval fuel shlI Arethusa, which has been batterinH | the storm for three days off Cape Fear; the tanker Robert +. Hopkins the Ambrose Five, a gasoline launch and the coast guard cutter Manning
 No word has been received tonight of the fate of the Blanche c. Pendle- ton, which the cutter Manning was forced to abandon yesterday when g tow line parted. The Pendleton was helpless at the time. Because of the storm the cutter was unable to get another line aboard.
 Short of Fuel
 The Manning reported this after noon that it was passing the heart of the hurricane and was running short of fuel. Heavy seas had car ried away two of It's life boats, the cutter reported.
 In the vicinity of Cape Fear the wind subsided enough for the coast guard cutter Seminole to get haw- ser aboard the naval fuel ship Are thusa The cutter Yamacraw has joined the Seminole and together they are towing the Arethusa toward Hampton Roads at about four knots an hour.
 No trace of the gasoline launch Ambrose Five has been reported The owner, Parker H. Kemble, his wife and son, are aboard. The vessel was bound from Beaufort, N. tC., to Charleston.
 The tanker Robert E. Hopkins, which went ashore on wimbie shoals Thursday, but succeeded in working free, smiraculously escaping being pounded to pieces. reported tonight that 1t was making for Hampton Roads under it's own steam.

FORD COULD WIN ADMINISTRATION
 BYGUARANTEES
Promise of Fertilizer Produce ton Would Remove All Doubt as to Accept
 ability of Offer
By HUGH W. R0BERTe Washington Bureau. The AKe-Hersld.
 800 Davidson Huiidinz


 Washington, January 28.-(Spe- cial.)-f Henry Ford would guaran- tee to produce fertilizer at Muscle Shoals during the life of the 100-year contract that he desires, the last ves- tige of administration doubt as to the acceptability of the contract would disappear. ~
 In his negotiations with Secretary of War Weeks. Mir. Ford declined to make such q guarantee. The secrs- tary this morning denied that In the proposed contract to be sent to Con- Fress Tuesday Mir. Ford has altered his original proposal regarding fer tilizer. That proposal was to the effect that he would conduct fertiii- Fer experiments and sell his product at a price not exceeding per cent profit. He did not guarantee to ex- pertinent for any definite length Of years. He did not mako known proc- esses that he would use. As a result, the secretary does not believe that fertilizer will be or could be pro duced at Muscle Shoals in commercial quantities at price which would constitute a saving to the farmers of the south.
 There is no question but that the fight in congress will terminate in accordance with light that will be thrown on this mooted point In q telegram addressed today by Ford to Senator Harris of Georgia 1t is de- i, clared that the Ford proposal con tafns provisions whereby the farm CTS will be relieved of the pressure exerted by the, fertilizer trust. This statement, in the absence of definite guarantee the secretary flatly denies.
 Confident of Acceptance
 If the situation is as Ford de- scribes it, Senator Harris declares confidence that Congress will accept hts offer. If 1t is as Weeks de- scribes 1t, there is doubt that Con- gress will appropriate the s4o.oo0.- 900 which the acceptance of the of fer will necessitate.
 Organizations of farmers are ex- erting intense pressure against Con gress and the administration in fa- vor of Ford. The administration. as is evidenced by the demeanor of the Secretary of War. is weakening from . position which was construed as an- tagonistio in effect The Wisconsin delegation in the House has crum-
