Indications are that the Maryland
corn crop of 1924 will be the shortest
in "a years. If the present outlook
will be realized a crop of 15,690,OOO
bushels may be looked for, assuming

1924 crop has potential form value

farm value of the 1923 crop which
was estimated by the Department at
25, 231 900 bushels.
Cold, wet spring delayed planting
and the crop got off late on a smaller
acreage than usual. Later on drought
hampered growth. Farmers say that
| if disaster in the shape of early frost
should overtake the crop, the present
dismal prospect will be still further
dimmed.
Similar conditions have prevailed in
Delaware, and a crop of only ALL
600 bushels is forecast in that State.
Production in 1923 was 6,O57, 0OC
bushels.
Conditions affecting the corn cror
have been bad in practically all parts
of the country. The estimated condi-
ton of 66.4 p. c. on September for
the United States as whole is lie
below the 1O-year average. Only three
times in the last 40 years has condi-
ton been lower at this time of the
year. Extremes of temperature and

The Bureau OF Pubic Roads of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture believes that consideration of
highway safety is of the greatest inn
portance in view Of the great increase
in highway traffic and highway acct
dents. A careful study of existing
conditions has led to the following
statement of basic principles:
The development of safe roads by
elimination of all known dangers in
SO far as such elimination is possible
within physical and economic limita-
tions.
Warning of uneiminated dangers by
means Of easily recognized signs and
other devices Of standardized form,
uniformly placed with respect to the
danger.
The development of safe vehicles
b. perfection of running parts and
adoption of safety devices.
Diligence and care in the licensing
of drivers Of motor vehicles to elimi-
nate the incompetent, careless, and
irresponsible driver.
The development of simple, uni
form, and effectual traffic regulations
and the education of the whole, public
to complete acquaintance with
them.
The rigid enforcement of traffic
regulations.
There is little doubt that solu-
ton of the problem worked out on
the basis of these principles would
have the effect of reducing the dang
ers Of the open road to a minimum.
The bureau especially urges the ne
cessity of uniformity Of action by the
various States in working out the
means of applying these principles
1t believes that the work of commit
tee Of the American Association Of
State Highway Officials on the prob
lem will be an important factor to
this end.
Engineers of the bureau state that
the problem can best be solved by the
selection of the best methods and
practices from the various States
rather than working out of new meth
DDS and practices.

1t is stated that tests initiated

main blood groups, and that this
discovery will have very impor.
