Legislation passed under the Will
son administration and still opera
tive has served to mitigate to some
extent the effects of the indifference
of the present Republican regime.
The Federal Reserve act and the
Farm Loan act are two measures
which have been of value to agricul-
ture in spite of the failure of Repub-
lican officials to administer them
fairly.
Some $4,000 loans, aggregating
s224,301,4 400, were made by the IL
Federal farm loan banks in 1922.
Almost billion dollars have been
lent to farmers by these banks since
their Inauguration.

THE AMERICANP PRESS ASS0ClATlON
LET EVERY MAN CHOOSE HIS
SIDE

Representative w. d Upshaw has
done a public service in his recent
indictment of public officials whose
personal conduct tends to destroy
and discredit the prohibition law.
It is an unwritten law in Wash
ington that public men shall not be
embarrassed by a discussion of their
private lives and such discussion as
takes place is usually based upon
underground rumor. But in view OF
the recent open discussion in the
United States Senate of what con-
stitutes nothing less than public
misconduct, it is proper to suggest
that perhaps the time is coming
when the people of the United States
will have a right to know just what
the private behavior of their public
men is.
Senator Curtis stated that boot
logger had been discovered in the
vicinity Of the Senate floor; that he
had apparently been invited there
by a United States Senator; that
while there he served other Senators
and that these Senators had prom
ised not again to be guilty of such
misconduct.
It must not be thought that be-
cause nothing has been said in re-
gard to these things that nothing is
known. The day is rapidly approach
ing when the man who patronizes
the bootlegger must be considered in
the same class with the bootlegger
himself and if he is public servant
he should in justice be considered
likewise a public enemy. Only one
thing is needed to correct these
conditions and that is full, free and
exact publicity.

OYSTER SHORTAGE IN FALL
PREDICTED.
Conservation Commissioner Urges
Action BY State-Declares
Shells Should Be Planted


Shells Should Be Planted
Annually.
young oysters are scarce this
year and as consequence the oyster
catch will be smaller than usual next
year." says Harrison w. Vickers,
Jr., Conservation Commissioner, dis
cussing the Maryland oyster situa-
ton. Mr.. Vickers says that unless
forceful action is taken in the near
future Maryland, once famous the
world over as an oyster-producing
State, will be a negligible factor in
the industry 20 years from now.
''It is imperative that between
400, 900 and 100000 bushels of
oysters be planted each year SO that
the oyster spat will be able to at
tach itself and grow" he declared.
It is possible to raise the money
to do this, he added, in one of three
ways:
1. BY a tax on the packer.
2. BY a legislative appropriation.
8. BY a law which will give the
State the ownership Of all oyster
shells.
Mr.. Vickers asserts that year
after year the oysters are decreas-
ing in quantity, and that there are
not as many oystermen' licenses
out as formerly. This he attributes,
in part, to the fact that many of
them went to the war and failed to
resume their regular life when they
returned, while others have given
up oyster dredging and longing as
an occupation.
He said that the plan of having
the ownership of oyster shells vested
in the State had been used with sue
cess in other States. In Maryland,
he said, the oyster shells which
formerly were dumped back over
board as the vessels from down the
bay made their return trips were
now being made into fertilizer and
being used on roads. They have a
commercial value of about eight
cents bushel now, and consequent
ly oyster packers are disposing OF
them at profit.
Under the plan which he favors,
and which may be taken before the
next Legislature, all oyster shells
would become the property of the
State as soon as the bivalves had
been extracted. They would then
be dumped back into selected parts
of the Chesapeake Bay and it's tribu-
taries and oyster bars would, in
time, be formed.
At present the Conservation Com
mission is replanting oyster shells
with the money it has available, and
last year 100000 bushels of shells
were replanted. In the year pre-
vious 100000 bushels were dumped
back into the bay and it's waters.
The finances of the commission do
not permit more extensive work.

Spectator.
With a membership of more than
10000 farmers, the Maryland Farm
Bureau Federation Thursday began
movement which is expected to re-
organize completely the business
methods of every producer in the
State. Organization arrangements
were made at meeting of the fed
eration's board of directors. The
meeting was held at the Hotel Rem
merit, Baltimore.
In his speech, which opened the
meeting, E. A. Cohill, president,
said
"Our aim is to get every farmer to
cooperate in the marketing of prod
ucts. By using up-to-date methods
we can reduce the cost of commod-
tiles to the public and at the same
time increase the profit to the farm
err. We hope to have every farmer
in the State member Of this organ
ization."
At present there are eight coun-
ties in the federation. The rest of
the membership comes from farm
ers' organizations throughout the
State. Dues are $40 a year.
eve intend no upset or strike, F."
Mr.. Cohill said. 1--WE will. aim to
use the established agencies of dis
tribution wherever it is feasible.
Our aim is to get rid of competition
among the farmers and modernize
the present methods Of doing bus
mess"
"The farmers are to be taught the
correct ways of packing commodities
for shipment. Much of the produce
received in Baltimore is spoiled
completely upon arrival or else is of
an inferior quality.
zone of our principal desires is
to get rid of the speculator. When
complete organization has been ar
ranged the speculator will cease to
be the agent for evil that he now is.
"Our federation will send men as
far as the plains Of the West to buy
cattle. Everything is to be done
with the full cooperation of all con-
cerned. Experience of similar fed
erations in other States shows the
organizations are of great value to
the communities Towns and cities
are built up, property values in
creased and the farmers are made
prosperous when the ideas Of this
federation are applied.
The board Of directors will meet
three times year. The executive
committee will meet once a month.
Temporary offices for the federation
are located at 1112 Union Trust
Building.
