DID YOU KNOW THAT ?
from State Dept. of Health.

DR.. John S. Fulton, Director of the
State Department of Health, says
Did you know that there are over
5000 persons who are i'll with tuber-
culosis, in the counties of Maryland;
that
Tuberculosis clinics are held
throughout the State each month
under the auspices of the State
Department of Health and the Mary
land tuberculosis Association, for
the purpose of finding those who are
i'll with the disease and of helping
them to get the proper care; that
23S clinics of this sort have been
held since the first of this year;
that
They were held at rs places cover
ing nearly every section of the State,
and within reach of more than five
hundred scattered communities; that
over
600 new patients were found and
advised through their own family
physicians as to the care they should
have; that
95 per cent of all the patients
were sent to the clinics by their own
doctors and the rest through friends;
that over
400 doctors in the counties CO.
operated with the State Department
of Health by referring their patients
to the clinics; that
A special effort is constantly being
made to reach and care for young
children and other person who have
been exposed to the disease, while
their condition is still favorable;
and
Did you know that 70 per cent
of the money that is raised in 2
county from the sale of the Christ
mas seals goes back into that county
for the benefit of local tuberculosis
activities, including the work of the
public health nurses for those suf-
fering from tuberculosis; and that
the remaining
Thirty per cent goes to the Mary

THANKSGIVING TURKEYS TO
BE HIGHER

Thanksgiving turkey eating will
be somewhat more costly this year
than in the past two years, accord
ing to a holiday prediction made
by the Sears-Ro ebuck Agricultural
Foundation. The turkey crop is not
as large as it was last year or the
year before, and prediction of As
to 4S cents pound for this years
Thanksgiving turkey is not con-
sidered pessimistic.
The cool weather this fall has
been favorable turkey weather"
So long as the days and the nights
are comparatively warm, turkeys
continue to roam the country and
fail to put on flesh. When the
temperature falls, they are content
to cease wandering off, and settle
down to grain feeding which rapidly
adds pounds of turkey meat. The
crop generally is further advanced
than at this time in several years.
and reports from the country con
sistently tell of the high quality OF
the turkeys. In Texas, which is the
big early state for turkeys, the crop
is believed to exceed last year when
many of the young poults were lost
during the hot dry summer. Okla
homa, Arkansas, Missouri, Kansas,
Iowa and Ohio are expected to have
fewer turkeys for the market this
season while the other states report
flock of about the same size as last
year.
Stocks of turkeys in storage arc
less than half as large as at this
time year ago and 40 per cent
below the five-year average. Re
serves of frozen turkeys, therefore,
will be less of a market factor
this season than last. Holdings OF
chickens and fowls are five million
pounds larger than a year ago and
ten million pounds larger than the
five-year average, however, offsetting
to some degree the decline in
turkeys.

BIG APPLE CROP TO BOOST
U. S. HEALTH


America should have it's healthiest
year in 1927, if the old adage about
apples and health still holds, accord
to the Sears Roebuck Agricultural
Foundation. The estimated apple
crop for this year is more than
234,0O0,O0O bushels, which is the
largest crop since 1914, and the third
largest in the history of the United
States. Because the 1926 produc-
ton is fully one-third larger than
last year, apple prices have dropped
to the lowest point in years and give
promise of remaining at low level
throughout the season.
Practically all of the increased
production of the commercial apple
crop this year was made, in the
East, the principal apple orchard
section of the country, according to
the Foundation. Here favorable
conditions prevailed throughout the
growing season, although some sec
lions reported the crop as maturing
later than usual, The crop in the
Northwest, the only other important
commercial apple section in the
country, however, suffered severely
from freezing in late September with
the result that yields were materially
reduced.
The export trade is likely to affect
the apple market to some extent
While increased consumption in
England, one of the big consumers of
American apples, is not expected this
year because of the continued unem-
ployment which is keeping the buy
ing power of the country low. Ger
many, another of the biggest con-
sumers, is taking more American
apples than the year before. I'm
provements in the purchasing power
of the German people and reduced
apple crops in European countries
which compete with the United
States in the, German apple marke:
are given as the reason for this
years increase in the American
apple trade with that country

a distant state or country.
Before a telephone office is estab-
lished the engineers must go over the
ground carefully and make survey
of the conditions to see whether a
central office Is needed Among the
| things to be considered are the num-
Der of people in that particular conf
munity who may be expected to re-
quire telephone service at the present
time or within the near FUTURE An
other factor which is given serious
consideration is the number of people
who may locate in this community
within five, ten, fifteen, or twenty
years and the class of business which
| they will operate.
With these facts in hand the en-
gineers figure from past performances
in other sections what may be ex-
pected in the way of telephone growth
| and what revenue may be expected
| from the service which will be fur
nished.
After this is done other engineers
must figure the construction costs Of
building the necessary plant including
! switchboards, frames, batteries, poles.
cross-arms, wire, and cable, and the
maintenance and operation Of the sys-
tenn. When this is completed and the
officials pass on the estimate the work
is authorized. Then the supply de-
partment must be called on to fur
nish the material with which the plant
will be constructed. After the in
stallation is finished the system xS
turned over to the operating
maintenance departments who huSQ
carry on the service and see that the
various units of plant function proper
ly and work together to furnish the
public with a satisfactory communi-
cation system.
The operators at the switchboards
must work together in the interest OF
good service. Each operator is trained
to answer calls and establish commI-
nications on her position of the board
and to help other operators adjacent
to her position as required. In doing
this she must carry on her work in an
efficient way so that she is helpful in
her efforts to assist her fellow
workers.
I The wire chief who supervises the
installation and maintenance of the
telephones and plant must have the
cooperation of his installers and re-
pairmen; in order to cooperate sue
cessfully with the manager and chief
operator each of whom is responsible
for particular branch of telephone
service.
Every phase Of the business all the
way from the president of the COM
pany down to the last Office boy calls

MARYLAND CROP REPORT

Corn production in Maryland this
fall is estimated at 22.3S6.OOO
bushels. about II per cent short OF
1925 crop, and per cent short of
an average production, according to
John s. Dennee, Federal agricultural
statistician for Maryland. Unfavor-
able weather hampered the crop and
resulted in low yields and poor to
fair quality Stocks of old corn on
farms are estimated at 1,534,OOO
bushels, which is more than double
the average carry-over.
Potato production in Maryland
this year was 30 per cent more than
in 1925, and Z per cent larger than
average The potato crop is esti-
mated at 4,176,0O0 bushels, an
average 81 bushels per acre against
| 70 bushels last year. Nearly 1000
carloads of early potatoes were
shipped out of lower Eastern Shore
counties against 1,46S in 1925
season.
Buckwheat made poor showing
amongst the Maryland crops this
season. Per acre yields averaged
only 1875 bushels against "a last
year. Production is estimated at
$4,000 bushels, about 20 per cent
short of average. Excessively wet
weather in Garrett county at harvest
where most of the buckwheat is
grown, caused the grain to be PHI
away in poor shape, according to the
farmers
Yields of sweet potatoes are re
ported as heavy in the lower Eastern
Shore counties this fall. Production
may go 40 per cent over 1925 crop
and as much as SO per cent over the
average production of 1921-1925.
A crop of 100000 bushels is esti-
mated this fall against an average
production of 100000. Storage
houses are reported full to capacity
and the low prices offering are dis
couraging to the farmers.
The estimate on Maryland apples
that may be expected to move into
consuming channels from the cror
of 1925 is given as $4,000 barrels,
compared with $4,000 last year,
and 100000 barrels, the average
commercial production during the
past five, years. Production of all
apples this crop year is placed at
3,484,OOO bushels against 1,541,OO0,
| the average production for the past
five years. According to farmers
reports to the Statistician closer
grading and failure to pick may
result in some reduction of this year
years figures. But at that the
crop of 1925 will go down as one
of the largest ever produced in
Maryland.
Tobacco was one of the surprise
crops in Maryland this year. Yields
averaged $50 pounds per acre
against S23 last year, and 761
pound, the average for the period
I1921-1925. The late wet season
caused very heavy growth, say the
| farmers, and not a little of the
tobacco rotted after it had been put
! in the barn. Production is esti-
mated at 28,4SO,000 pounds. Last
your production was 24,69O, 900, and
for the preceding five years average
production is estimated at Fl, 442,-
1000 pounds. Quality OF this sea-
lson's crop is on the whole medium
flair to good.

Teamwork is the keynote of success.
Every business, industry or individual
that has ever amounted to anything
had to have coordination and team
work to bring about the results OBJ
tanned. On investigation you will find
that the success of any industry is
dependent ON the teamwork of the
several departments or with the en-
ployees in each individual department.
The successive operation of utility
depends on the teamwork of its en-
ployees
A homely illustration Of teamwork
was impressed on the writer num-
Der of years ago while driving with a
gentleman behind pair of horses
who were of about equal size and
speed, but one was lazy while the
other, attended strictly to pulling her
part of the load. The horse on the
near" side threw her weight into the
COLLAR and kept it there while the "off"
horse had to be touched up with the
whip every once in while. The gem
tleman accompanied each flick of the
whip with firm admonition do your
duty, SAM" which always brought
about results for the time being, but
must be repeated often. In working
with people during the past quarter
of a century the writer has often been
struck with the similarity of work
men to that team.
AS an example visualize the opera
tions of the telephone system, which
has made a neighborhood of the
nation. There could be no telephone
service without the switchboards and
associate equipment, the poles, wires,
cables, conduit lines and other plant
over which the conversations are car

And see that observations are o. K.
