WILL ADD TO PROFITS OF
MARYLAND DAIRYMEN

An extra half-inch of milk in every
cows milk pail at each milking
would add $2,591,860 to the profits
of Maryland dairymen during the
next twelve months, according to
the Larrowe Institute of Animal
Economics. Better feeding and care
of the animals is urged by the In
stitute as the means of bringing this
additional sum OF money into the
state this year and every year.
1.-The average COW in this state
gives around three inches OF milk at
a milking" states the Institute. AT
the prevailing market price of milk
the extra half-inch in the pail would
mean about fifteen extra dollars in
the pocket of her owner. On the
basis of the 172,791 cows of milking
age on Maryland farms, this should
mean s2,591,S6 that may be avail
able to dairymen and to the farm
family"
AS an instance OF what better
care and feeding will do for a dairy
herd, the Institute cites the cow
testing association records of fifteen
cows on the Valley Farm of Smith
Preston, at Conotton, o. Ten dol
lars day above their board is
what this group paid the owners
each day for a year for the priv
lege of remaining on the farm, or
the rate of $279S4 per COW per
year. The herd ate from 233S
pounds to 1899 pounds per COW of
prepared, balanced ration and pro
duced 1447 cans of milk OF total
value of $5,528.39. This was 49,
941.71 above the feed cost.
An outstanding example of what
good feed and treatment will do for
cow is Sabina, one of the herd
In one years time she produced
11.599.9 pounds of milk containing
1921 pounds of butter The total
value of her production was $780,
O4. or $426.87 over the costs of her
feed during the twelve months.

GUIDE POSTS FOR AIRPLANE
PILOTS

Edsel B. Ford, president of the
Ford Motor Company has suggested
to authorized Ford dealers all over
the United States that they paint on
the roofs of their places of business
the name of their city as guide
posts for airplane pilots. Inasmuch
as there are Ford dealers in more
than 10000 cities and villages
throughout the United States, COM
pliance with this request will consti-
tute an important advancement in
the development of facilities for
commercial aviation.
Possibilities of such aerial guide
posts were demonstrated at the time
of the Commercial Airplane Relia-
bility Tour last fall when the Ford
dealers along the route identified
heir cities. Reports by pilots of
he seventeen planes in the tour of
he practical value of this identifi-
stion are believed to have prompted
r. Ford to make this service avail
able to aviators all over the country
in the general interest of CONNER
cial flying.
1--WE feel that it is our duty to
help develop this new mode of trans
portation," Mr.. Ford stated in his
communication to dealers, land are
using as many of our facilities as are
necessary to this end.
1T seems that one OF the very
great difficulties OF cross country
flying is in trying to distinguish over
what town or city the pilot is travel
ing. The motorist is usually adj
vised when approaching a town by
appropriate sign boards, but so far
The air pilot is not so fortunate"
According to Mr.. Ford's sug
gested plan, the letters of the name
will be printed in white of size
which will be visible from ordinary
dying height. The name will ex-
end due east and west with the
OBS of the letters toward the north
nth an arrow pointing due north
the end of the word. In this way
he lettering and arrow serve as a
ompass to the pilot.

COAL STRIKE ENDED

The general public receives with
satisfaction the news that the long
drawn out and senseless anthracite
coal strike has finally come to an
end.
Apparently about the only thing
either side won by the strike was
the universal condemnation of the
public, and the fact that no new
thing developed in the final agree
ment that had not been threshed
over in previous conferences proves
that the strike could have been
ended months ago had either side
really so desired.
Stubborness, pure and simple,
has cost pretty penny in incon-
venience, money losses, hardship,
and even starvation Tin the anthra-
cite region,) and there surely ought
to be some means, by State or Fed
eral action, whereby it would be
impossible to ever enact such a
senseless strike in future.
The working contract which ex-
pired the 31st of last August is re-
newed for period of five years from
that date. Added to it is an agree
ment for the continuance OF the
existing wage scale during the
present year, and provision for read
justment at any time after this year,
on the initiative of either party. Ii
readjustment cannot be agreed upon
in conference within thirty days, two
men, not to be connected with the
United Mine Workers or the operat-
ing interest, are to be chosen to
harmonic the differences. II they
cannot agree, they are empowered to
enlarge their board to any odd
number, and it is agreed that the
majority decree of this body shall
be accepted as binding. This is ar
bitration. pure and simple.
The right to strike is not formally
abdicated in the agreement. But
there is an implied promise not to
strike. The check-of is not men
toned, but there is an understand
ing that this question OF practice,
over which battle has ragged, is to be
settled by current arrangement
which was apparently the possible
and reasonable way, from the
beginning. "

Bureau and the general improve
ment of agriculture in the state
during the coming year. The State
Farm Bureau Federation was or
ganized early in 1928 with Mr..
Stewart as its first Secretary Treas
urer and during that time much
progress has been made until at
present 18 of the % counties in the
state have active and aggressive
county Farm Bureau organizations

money where it is most needed.
Another service rendered to agricul-
ture by Wall Street is the purchase

of the intermediate Credit Banks.

What the People Want
Every great international bank in
New York maintains close relations:
with thousands of other banks in the
United States and in every foreign
country of any Importance. + The
movements Of commerce and invest
ment are supported upon this inter-
related system Of domestic and for
eign banks. Thus it comes about that
the products of the farm, factory and
mine are financed by these banks all
the way from the producer to the
foreign consumer.
Wall Street in the discharge of it's
true functions as the nations reser-
voir of capital and credit includes the
whole business community in its field
of operations. It's control lies with
the people. Their demands govern
it. and their presence or absence from
the market determines its trends.
Wall Street prospers as farming and
industry prosper Its service is to the
people of the whole country and. for
them, to the people of other countries.
It is the direct reflection of American
agriculture, industry and commerce

A HEALTH RADIOGRAM

Radio fans will be interested in
the health message sent out through
out the State of New York by the
State Department of Health, from
station KYH-Keep Your Health.
The message is relayed to the people
of Maryland by DIR. John S. Fulton,
of the Maryland State Department OF
Health, who cordially recommends
chat Marylanders follow the advice
contained in it. Here is the
message:
Directions: Use any wave length
suited to your age. II you fade out,
lose your breath easily, or sleep
poorly, your wave length is wrong.
You need to reset your health
dial. The human body is
like radio set. We must be
properly equipped and. adjusted all
the time; otherwise our apparatus
works poorly and all we hear is
static. Here are seven helpful rules
to observe:
1. Keep your instrument properly
set up. Stand upright with your
chin in, your chest out and up, and
your stomach in.
2. Keep your battery working
well. Take care OF your heart.
Don't let it get short circuited by
rheumatism or any other infection.
3. Don't shut yourself in an air
tight cabinet Tune in with tho
oxygen outdoors. Keep your win
dows open.
4. Spread out your antennae.
Swing your arms and legs in the
air every day.
5. Keep your loud speaker clean,
Use tooth brush at least twice a
day, and go at least once year tc
your dentist.
6. Keep your tubes in order
Don't abuse your digestive tract or
let it get clogged up. Eat wisely.
Drink plenty of water.
Z. Finally, see that your instru-
ment is given an all-over inspection
often enough to prevent trouble
Have a Health Examination by your
physician each year."

Outside the realm of fancy there
is nothing in modern science so
amazing as the rapid development of
radio. It has jumped overnight
from swaddling clothes into trous-
ers. and in four years has passed
through the field of adventure to a
public utility of Importance, and a
social force that .permeates every
part of our daily life.
Largely employed as a medium of
entertainment in the beginning, it is
now being used by the schools to
educate, by the police in apprehen-
sion of criminals, for speedy location
of missing people, weather reports,
guidance of ships, etc.
1t has enabled the President of the
United States to address approx
mately all the people at one time.
International relations have been
brought closer, and at home it has
done much to create a sense of
national solidarity, even in the most
remote settlements.

down to see the opportunities and
resources which the Peninsula has to
offer. The Association knows that
each one of these visitors will be a
source of income to every line of
business on the Peninsula. Finally,
anyone who owned all of the PENN
sula would want to know all of the
facts about it. He would want to
know how many acres OF each
particular type of land he had to
offer. He would want to know how
many sites for resorts hotels he had.
He would want to know how many
miles of desirable ocean frontage
or river frontage there were. He
made the best showing and in what
particular districts. He would want
to know what industries were best
suited to the Peninsula and what
the best locations were for them.
He would want to know everything
about his property SO that he could
project sane, conservative develop
ment program, and so that he could
advertise and publicize the PENN
sula intelligently and effectively.
That is just what the Association
proposes to do-establish research
Department which will make it pos
sible for anyone either in the PENN
sula or outside of it who wants to
know anything about the Peninsula's
agriculture or industry, about its
ocean, rivers or bays-about any
thing at all-can secure an i'm
mediate and intelligent answer.
There we have, in brief, the pro-
gram of the Association. 1t pro
poses doing for the Peninsula, as
whole, what you would try to do
for it il you owned it all.

Wage earners in this country earn
more, live better, have more recrea-
tion and yet save more than workers
of any other country. Including
skilled and unskilled labor, the
daily, pay of the American workman
is approximately that of the weekly
pay of the English workman. Yet
the demand is equal to the supply
in this country, and in some crafts
there is shortage, while in Eng
land about " million persons are
maintained in idleness on the dole"
which the government contributes.
England is regarded as the most
tightly unionized country in the
world.
Unions in the United States have
done much to raise the standards of
pay and living conditions. Those
standards now are at level where
there should be little dissatisfac-
ton, little excuse for labor disturb

II Wall Street Were Destroyed
Wall Street is the natural evolution
Of the forces of trade and finance. 1t
exists because there is imperative
need for it in the nations business.
If some cataclysm should destroy the
financial district of New York we
would see frantic efforts to re-estab-
fish it so that trade and industry
could continue. If the production and
marketing Of agricultural and indus
trial commodities did not need such
financial institution, Wall Street
would not exist.
We depend upon the farmer to help
maintain the general level of pros
perity. Wall Street as a money mar
ket is called upon to finance the
growth and marketing of farm crops.
Many Wall Street bankers were born
and raised on farms. If they were
not thoroughly familiar with agricul-
tural requirements, they could not
hold their present positions in the
financial world.
In the period of defation, Wall
Street suffered proportionately as
much as the farmer. The aggregate
losses of Wall Street banks mounted
to staggering sum. Wall Street is
not an independent institution, but an
;rganic part of the country's business
system, necessarily rejecting the ups
and downs of business.
Four Billion Dollars
An approximate estimate of the
main items in Wall Streets financial
operations in handling farm crops
SHOWS that New York banks for the
purpose of agriculture put out COM
nerciai loans to the value of one bill
lion dollars, hold bankers acceptances
or another billion. buy commercial
paper such as cattle and sheep loans
tor, a third billion and carry balances
If country banks for fourth billion.

10000 river of credit annually to pro-
ice farm products and float them to
market.

nables them to make the required
dvances on farm crops and for ware
