QUICK ACTION GETS RESULTS

Quick action on the part of the
Maryland Farm Bureau Federation
last week was responsible for calling
q halt to the Wholesale commission
merchants of Baltimore, Nd, at
tempt to increase commission rates
on the sale of farm produce from the
present rate of five cents to seven
cents. Letters announcing the in
crease were received by many farm
ers and truckers who sell their pro-
duce on the local market.
Stirred to high degree of indig-
nation at the action of the commits
sion men, several farmers called by
phone M. Melvin Stewart, secretary
of the Maryland Farm Bureau Fed
GRAFTON, asking for immediate ac-
ton. Mr.. Stewart got busy at once
and by three o'clock on the same
afternoon about Is farmers and
truckers, all Farm bureau members,
assembled in Mr. Stewards office in
the Union Trust Bldg, prepared to
take definate steps to thwart the in
crease. Baltimore, Anne Arundel,
Carroll, Howard and Washington
counties were represented at the
meeting which was presided over by
E. P. Cohill, president of the state
federation.
While the meeting was in session
word was received that the commits
sion merchants, sensing some such
action by the Farm Bureau mem
bers, issued a counter statement

Of two cents and declaring the old
'ate of 5 cents would be continued

tive by others. He receives a better
price for his products the result OF
the sweat of other mems brows
He assumes no responsibility and
just like the cuckoo bird, he has
deposited his eggs ESQ to speak in
the nest of his neighbor whom he
permits to hatch them and rear the
young while he goes merrily on his
way whistling and singing.
Most of the farmers problems
can be solved right in their own
communities IL they would become
farm bureau members and practice
the principle of cooperation. II the
producer expects to get the best
prices for his products he must make
an effort himself to do those things
that help to make the market good.
He cannot leave 1t to his neighbor to
keep market conditions good and
then do just as he pleases himself
This attitude is probably one of the
greatest faults the farmer has had.
Other industries spend time and
to find out how best to adjust
themselves to market conditions. The
farmer is no exception to the rule,
but let all cooperate and in that way
keep the market where it ought to
be. We all know that the aim of
cooperative marketing is to stop the
dumping of crops on the market but
instead. to regulate and systematic
ally merchandise the crops.

water which any soil will retain from
a single irrigation. 1t does no good
TO apply more than this amount as
the excess will simply soak down into
the sub-soil and be lost On most
fields it is difficult to spread the
water over the whole field without
allowing too much to penetrate in
some spots. This is especially true
where small streams of water are
used as the streams are then allowed
to run for many hours on the same
strips or burrows in order that the
water may reach the lower ends.
Some measurements by Steward on
porous soils in the Boise valley show
ed that three times as much water
was required to irrigate a certain
field when head" of thirty inches
was used as was required when a
head" of two hundred inches was
used. Since the amount retained
by that portion of the soil in which
the crop roots were feeding was I'M
doubtedly practically the same in
both cases there was a saving by the
use of the large head of water two
thirds of the water for use elsewhere
The conclusion reached by Bark
after several years study of irriga-
ton practice in Idaho is that 1.-THE |
average size of the irrigation head
which is used for nearly all purposes |
in the larger portion of Idaho sell |
dom exceeds one or two second feet,
yet the use of heads three of four
times this size would give a much
higher efficiency, particularly if the
soil is inclined to be at all porous"
The use of large streams, in many
cases several hundred inches, ap
piled in one place will enable the
irrigatOr to spread his water out
further and thus cover more land
with the scant supply. In the very
few places in Idaho where the water
must be allowed to run for a number
of hours on the land savings may
be made by starting the irrigation
with large heads in order to reach
the lower end of the runs quickly
and then cutting down the streams
so that little or no waste occurs I
from the field. 1t is we'll to remem-
Der that water soaks downward very
much faster than it goes sideways. t
While every means should be used {
% make the short supply go as far
IS possible, there is reason to c
believe that on most projects the I
crops will be nearly as large as usual 2
where proper care in the use of water t
S exercised. Ii

make for successful dairying, accord

the association who was in Black
foot Saturday. He has been testing
cows belonging to Bingham county
members of the association among
whom are C. B. Going, Rufus Pack,
Jed Taylor and a Mr.. Nelson.
Our association is enjoying such
healthy growth at the present time
that we have decided to report only
in general way" said Mr.. Pease in
his monthly report. Our member
ship has grown from Is in January
to "a in May and the number of cows
has increased from 142 in January
to 212 in May. Average pounds OF
butterfat per cow per month, Janu-
airy 81, May 81 pounds, and the av-
erage pounds of milk per COW per
month, January 1852 pounds, May
858 pounds. Cows producing 40
pounds of fat or more in January
"a, in May SO.
The season of the year is beneficial
to this growth, but we find by far
the greater reason is the increased
interest on the part of the dairyman
to secure the greatest returns pos
sible from the stock he has on hand
by the way of more careful attention
to the smaller details of the business
they are nearly all short on feed to
make up a balanced ration. Much
better regularity is practiced in milk
ing now than was practiced in Janu-
airy when work was slack on the
farm, although all farmers now are
working to the limit.
To our knowledge not a cow be-
longing to the association has died |
from bloat and only two from calv~
ing byproducts of the dairy being
used to good advantage. Jed Tay-
lor at Riverside is feeding 25 gallons
of skim milk per day to $50 laying
hens receiving from them approx
mately $3.50 per day the year round
net returns. Only for the COW that
produces this milk he would purchase
meat meal at 6 cents per pound to
take its place. Nearly all members
have manure spreaders and they
have been cleaning up barn yards
this spring, top dressing beet lands,
it was very necessary to
fertilize beet grounds in order to
secure a successful crop and keep
up the fertility of the soil.

COMBATING THE
WATER SHORTAGE

The water users in many parts
of Idaho are finding that 1t is pos
sible to irrigate successfully with
much less water than they have been
accustomed to use. This fact will
enable the farmers on nearly all pro-
jects to come thru the summer with
almost normal crops.

PERIL OF SEASIDE RoMANoEs

Breach Of Promise Suits Result Of
 Many Hasty Engagements
 It is one of the minor tragedies of life that many love dramas which open in all the sunshine and gaiety of sea side resort should reach their climax and conclusion in courts of law in the presence of a grim judge and an array of unsentimental jurors.
 It is said, but invariably true, that seaside engagements contribute far more than their just proportion to the yearly list of breach of promise actions, and they are uneommonly full of TO- nance, and, alasl provocative of amusement.
 Only last year a gay Lothario of 60 was made to pay heavily for his habit of holiday wooing. It appeared from the evidence that this amOrous widower (for he had been twice married, and ought to have known better) was in the habit of going to a different seaside place every summer; and he never left it without having plighted his troth to one or more ladies, usually young and always attractive.
 Records show it is these too gallant old men who constitute the chief danger of the guiIeless summer girl" In an other recent case a man who had ac. tually completed the allotted span" was sued by q young woman of 19 for breach of promise made in Blackpool few years ago-when, in fact, the lady had only reached the immature age of sixteen,
 In another case it was proved in court that the defendant--a handsome young bank clerk--was engaged at the same time to no fewer than five differ, ent maidens, three of whom he had met

and proposed to in the some season at Hastings. He was poet as we'll as gen eral lover, and some of his effusions read in court were not unworthy of an amorous bank clerk. One of them, in which he described the plaintiff as Sweet Syren of the Sea- conjurinC her to "be true to me as I am to thee. , was gem of gallant poetry.
 A boarding-house at Brighton was. s few years ago, the scene of another marine love tragedy. Boarding-houses are the happy hunting ground of sum, mer lovers. In this case middIe-aqed man successfully wooed and won young girl who was staying with he, mother under the same roof. Love, young dream had not proceeded fo, more than week when, to Lothario's horror, his daughter made an unexpect ed appearance Ia surprise visit" sht called it), and promptly recognized in her fathers financee an old school mate.-W.

 "I knew you would return and try to get the key to the wood she'd l" Mir. Gooly chuckled. "and pretty soon when you do not return, Raggedy Andy will come and try to rescue you and I will capture him too! Then I will capture Walter, tool"
 Just then the telephone bell tinkled and Mir. Gooly had to answer it.
 Yes! This is Mir. Gooly !" he said in the telephone. "Oh, hello, Sam Sanky Yes, have captured Raggedy Ann, and soon I will capture Raggedy Andy and when I have them it will be easy as pie capturing Walter. and as soon as catch Walter I will hop in the wood duck boat and bring him over to your house r Then Mir.

IMPLANTs START" HEART
German Scientist Performs Unusual
 Operation On SaIamanders

New excursions into the mystery of life are continually being made in the laboratiries of scientists. To be added to the wonders of cells that live and thrive in test tubes long after the death of the animal of which they once were a part, there comes the successful trans. plantation of living, beating heart from one living body into another. Il strue that the German biologist, Pr, Stohr, who accomplished this scientific feat, operated upon the embryo form oi salamanders, which are hardier and more lowly organized than man and his usual animal associates. All such ex. periments, however, have possible aid to man as their goal, they serve furthermore, to increase the mass oi facts in the storehouse of science. Ir the case of man numerous intricate problems must be solved before any similar transplantation can even be thought of.

 The moment Raggedy Ann did this she knew she had made a mistake, for the kitchen door slammed behind her with a loud bang and locked itself.

 "AhaW the mean creature cried, You thought you could fool me very easily, didn't you, Raggedy Ann?" he snickered. Then as Raggedy Ann did not reply, Mir. Gooly dragged her into his living room and stuffed her under a glass case; the kind you used to see in old-fashioRed homes a long time ago, with dried flowers under them.
