CHILD LABOR MOSTLY ON
FARMS

Economic necessity and waning
interest in school work are the chief
resons why the great majority of
boys and girls leave school at an age
when it would be better for them to
continue their education, according
to a report on THE Employment OF
Young Persons in the United
States" published by the National
Industrial Conference Board.
The whole problem of child
labor therefore, as it presents itself
in the United States, according to an
analysis of the Conference Board, is
not a problem to be solved by legis-
lation alone, whether state or fed
eral. Legislation, it was said, pro-
nibiting employment of young per-
sons still of school age would not
obviate necessity OF their support.
Contrary to general impression,
by far the greatest majority OF chill
dren who. work are not employed
by the manufacturing industries
but are working on farms.

lecture, and its foreign population.
All along the streets one could see
vendors selling native fruits, foreign
CONNECTION, lottery tickets and what
not. The sun was hot, so hot, and
1t was December 21st. We had dis
carded every extra piece Of wearing
apparel that was possible and had
bought JAPANESE parasols to carry
over our heads instead of wearing
hats. The natives were thinly and
scantilly clad, many of the children
entirely naked. After buying some
souvenirs we returned to the hotel
and after luncheon, we took an auto
drive through Panama City, Balboa
Heights, Ancon and Old Panama.
Old Panama Is about eight
miles from Panama City. Here we
saw the ruins of this city that was
destroyed by Morgan and his pirate
band more than two hundred and
fifty years ago. The ruins are
quaint and picturesque, lying as they
do on the shore of the Pacific. We
also visited the native villages OF the
Panamanians, with their matched
huts surrounded by palms, banana
trees and tropical plants.

LAND VALUES In SHORE
COUNTIES DECLINE

During the tive-year period ending
January l, 1925, land values In
the nine Eastern Shore Counties
of Maryland declined $26,772,399.
This total is based upon the findings
of the Federal Farm Census for
1925, which tabulates the agricul-
tural resources and values in each
one of the Eastern Shore Counties.
Since the publication OF the Farm
Census figures, efforts have been
made in various sections to show
that the Census figures do not &C
curately represent existing con-
ditions. However, the Federal
Farm Census OF 1925 is the most
authoritative compilation available
and to recheck it would be not only
a lengthy but costly procedure.
And quite irrespective of the views
entertained in the various Eastern
Shore Counties regarding the Farm
Census findings, they are the figures
which are generally accepted.
Not only did the Federal Enum-
orators find that agricultural values
had declined, but the totals also
show that there has been an actual
decrease not only in the number OF
farmers but in the acreage under
cultivation. The decline in agr1cul-
tural values and acreage appears
to have been general throughout the
nine Maryland Counties on the
Peninsula-with one exception. In
Somerset County there was not only
an actual increase in farm land
values from 1920 to 1925, but the
number of farmers also showed a
material increase-while the area
under cultivation in that county
remained at a standstill.
It is interesting to note in con-
junction with the foregoing figures
that in Talbot County, farm acreage
practically stood still while the
number OF white farmers decreased.
In Wicomico County farm acreage
stood still, the number OF white FAR
mers increased slightly and there
was very little change in land
values.
In Caroline County there was a
slight increase in the number OF
white farmers with practically NO
increase in farm acreage. In Kent
County the number OF white farmers
decreased, likewise the farm acre
age. In Cecil County the number OF
farmers and the number OF acres
under cultivation both decreased
In Queen. Anne's County the showing
was practically the same.

FARMERS LEARN OF OLDEST
FERTILITY TESTS

THE fertilizer experiments at
the Pennsylvania State College were
started in 1881 and have been in
progress ever SINCE" Prof. F. ID.
Gardner, head of the agronomy de
partment told the Crop Improvement
Bureau Federation meeting held
recently in Baltimore. ''And it is
now possible to draw some rather
definite conclusions as to what may
be expected from longtime ferti-
lizer treatment"
When applied at the rate of +
tons per acre on these plots manure
has been worth $3.S5 per ton, but
at the rate of 10 tons has been
worth only $2.72 per ton, showing
that the most profitable use of
manure is to spread the limited
amount over larger acreage rather
than applying it more heavily on &
smaller acreage"
In the light OF more than forty
years. results from these Oldest Of
all fertility experiments in the
United States, Professor Gardner
draws the conclusions that complete
fertilizers have maintained cror
yields approximately as well as
manure and just as economically If
cost of the manure is taken as
S1.87 per ton. His recommendation
to farmers is to use manure and
commercial fertilizer, according to
the soil needs, and practice a good
rotation. He enumerates the de
finite practices that farmers of his
state could profitably follow on the
basis of the Pennsylvania expert
ments:
For corn, 6 tons of manure supple
mented with acid phosphate.
For oats, on depleted soils, 200
pounds of acid phosphate.
For wheat, complete fertilizer
400 to 500 pounds per acre.
For clover and timothy hay

COST OF GOVERNMENT

Cost of federal, state and NUM-
cipal government in the United
States shows a grand total of $780,
252, 100000 for the year 1924, com
pared to $2,919,0 100000 for the
year 1913.
These statistical facts are COM
piled from the official records of
government, by the National Indus
trial Conference Board.
A more vital fact is also shown
in the decrease of 100000 or
1915 per cent in federal expendi-
lures for 1924, while state and local
governments increased their ex-
pense by $492,0O0,O0O, or rs per
cent.
In spite of the large reductions
possible by the federal government
in looping off war expenditures, due
to state and local extravaganza there
was net increase for 1924 OF
$1O7, 100000.
The problem presented by a
steady increase in state and NUM-
cipal tax rates concerns every in
'dividual, whether or not he is a
property owner.
High cost of government contrib
utes directly, as must be admitted,
to the high cost of living generally.
In the practice of greater economy
in the cost of government the begin
ming must be at the top, work
ing downward-rather than at the
bottom, working upward.

It is being freely predicted that
the tariff is to be made leading
political issue.
What a pity The tariff should
be as free from partisan politics as
the tax question.
Our lawmakers, in many In
stances, seem to be the last persons
to realize that the American people
are past the kindergarten stage In
understanding of questions of pub
lie interest.
It is silly to try and fool our
people with the political fairy tales
of the past.
The nation wants economy in
government. 1t wants tax sanity
and it wants businesslike admin
istration of the tariff question, In
the interest of American workmen
and American industry.
The tariff is no longer part OF the
"stage fixings" for either the Demo-
cratic or Republican party, any more
than is the tax question or economy
in government. These are today
public questions of equal import
ance to all the people, and the
people are apparently better posted
on the situation than many OF their
lawmakers.

PREVENTION

''It costs less to be well than to
be sick and it is lot more fun" lis
the way DR.. w. G. Stone, Deputy
State Health officer for Carroll and
Howard counties, sums up health
message he has sent to the parents
of children who have had physical
examination in the schools. Since
the message is equally applicable to
parents in other parts of the State,
DR.. John S. Fulton, Director of the
State Department of Health, takes
this way of bringing it to their
attention.
Just as large oaks from little
acorns grows, so, DR.. Stone says
most of our serious diseases have
their beginnings in defects or con-
ditions which at first seem small and
unimportant, but that lead to serious
consequences if uncorrected.
Among the most treacherous of
the trouble makers, he mentions the
following:
Undernourishment and it's side
partner, undevelopment.
Defective teeth and their side
partners, digestive disorders, and
disease.
Diseased tonsils and adenoids re-
sulting in the destruction of the
first line of defense against the ever
present germ.
So far as undernourishmen is
concerned, he says that most often
it, is due not to lack of food, but
to over indulgence in the wrong
kinds of food--to diet made up
| too largely of starchy foods, sweets,
and meats. Every child" he con-
tinues, "for the first eighteen years
of life, at least, needs quart OF
milk every day. Eggs, liver, sweet
| breads, cabbage, greens, salads,
fruits, whole wheat and graham
breads should also be eaten
egularly."
AS to defective teeth, he points
out the fact that the kinds of food
mentioned are necessary for the
formation of strong teeth; that the
frst cause of defective teeth is de-
fective feeding; and that another
cause is lack of care. He says, IF
teeth are allowed to decay and their
usefulness becomes impaired, there
is bound to be an extra burden
thrown upon the digestive system
The poisons produced by.
|
gums get into the blood stream and
are carried to every part OF the body,
causing damage to, or destruction of
any of the vital organs"
Undernourshment, due to the lacF
of the right sort of foods, lowers
the vitality of the system, and makes
it less resistant to disease. This is
especially true of tonsils and ade-
noids. when they have become
diseased DR.. Stone says, they
cease to become first line of de-
Tense against germs. Rather they
become hotbed in which any kind
of germ may lodge and grow to its
great delight and advantage. Diph
are diseases that child with q
sound healthy throat has but little
cause to fear. These diseases are
responsible for a large part of all
the deafness, heart and kidney
disease of later life
Eyes, too, are often permanently
damaged by such diseases as scarlet
fever and diphtheria. No part
of the body is more important than
the eyes, so they should be safe
guarded" u
Should the physical examinations
of children in the schools reveal any
of the conditions pointed, out in the
message, parents are urged to lose
no time in taking the children to
their family physicians and to have
the conditions corrected.

Cheaper capital is undoubtedly
one of the basic needs of agriculture,
Just as much as better business
methods.
Many professional first-aid-to-far-
mer politicians are swivel-chair re-
formers who never walked in fur
row and could not tell which end OF
a horse collar goes up.
Most farmers are trained all their
lives in economy, but all other lines
of business and industry are more
highly organized than tillage OF the
soil.
On no line of relief to agriculture
has there been more accomplished
than in promoting better farm loans
but the fact remains that the great
bulk OF financial relief has come
through the farm mortgage banks
