recent convention in Detroit the A. F.
Of L. aligned itself in defense Of the
primary, and in the conflict Of the
next two years in state legislatures
for repeal Of primary laws or for
blocking the adoption of such laws
the spokesman of the Federation will
captain the defense. Their slogan is
to be "More power, not less power,
to the individual voter! No power
to the executive!'
In order to clarity the issue, the
A. F. OF L. is going to demand that
Congress complete its endorsement
OF the Norris resolution submitting
to the states a constitutional amend
ment which will put an end to tame
duck" sessions of Congress. The Nor
ris measure has twice passed the
Senate. 1t provides that henceforth
the Congress elected in November
shall meet in January, and that the
outgoing Congress shall not meet af-

MAY DAY-CHILD HEALTH
DAY

"Oh May Day is gay day,
When life is in its hey
day;
A healthy happy, play day
y That keeps the whole world
young"
National Child Welfare Asso
Statewide celebration of May Day
as Child Health Day, in connection
with the nationwide observance of
the day, is strongly recommended
by DR.. John S. Fulton, Director of
the State Department of Health.
MAY Day is one of the days" he
said, when we want to think of
not disease, in connection with the
children of the state. Those of us
who are directly concerned with the
up-bringing of children in Maryland.
especially he1parents, teachers, the
clergy, doctors and health officials,
have rather large army to con-
slider. There are something like
$4,000 babies under year old and
over 100000 boys and girls under
fifteen in the counties and an equally
large number in Baltimore city.
1.-The future of Maryland depends
upon this army and it's well being,
physically, mentally and spiritually.
We can readily afford to devote this
one day in the year to constructive
planning for the health of these
children. Just what we want for
each child and why we want it was
admirably summed up by Herbert
Hoover in his letter as president of
he American Child Health Associa-
ton urging the annual observance OF
May Day as Child Health Day. The
elemental rights of each child, he
aid, are :
To be born we'll;
To have a healthy childhood, and
To reach maturity in the happi-
ness that comes in it's fulness only
to those whose physical heritage
has been safeguarded.
With bodily health almost surely
goes the natural selection OF healthy
associations, moral, and spiritual as
we'll as physical.
Also with such health, and just
as naturally, goes an aptitude to re-
,eiVe the right instruction easily; to
De kind to regard the rights of
others; that is, to make Good
| Citizens"

chairman-for the observane of May

MARYLAND CROP REPORT

The condition of winter wheat as
reported by Maryland farmers to the
Department of Agriculture on April
/ is 76 per cent of normal, compared
with Sc per cent on April 1, 1925,
and Sc the ten-year average. Ow-
ing to unfavorable weather condi-
tions last fall very large per cent
of the crop was planted late, and late
planted wheat appears to have suf-
fered more than the relatively small
amount of early planted wheat.
Reports from nearly all sections of
the State indicate that the crop
suffered from insufficient snow COW
ering, particularly during the cold,
windy weather in March. Alternat-
ing periods of freezing and thawing
caused heaving in large proper
ton of the fields.
Following the unfavorable fall
and winter conditions, the spring
growing weather has been un-
usually late in arriving, so that there
has been very little stooling and
stands are consequently thinner than
usual
The condition of winter wheat
for the United States on April l was
84.1 per cent of normal, compared
with 68.7 per cent on April 1, 1925
and 1872 per cent, the ten-yeal
average.
Rye in Maryland Jared better than
wheat, and shows a condition OF "a
compared with 81 year ago ano
"a, the tenlyear average.
Farm labor conditions appear ltc
have deteriorated somewhat. The
average wages of farm labor with
board are $3.50 per month com
pared with $33.25 on April l, 1925;
without board, $3.50 per month
compared with $49.25 a year ago
The supply of farm labor on April ]
is reported at 81 per cent of norma
compared with 80 per cent a veal
ago, and the demand for farm
labor is reported as "a compared
with 80 a year ago. Expressing
supply as per cent of demand,
gives 86.6 for 1926 compared with
SO on April 1, 1925. The move
ment of laborers to the Susquehanns
Power Project is creating a shortage
on farms in the northeastern
counties.

CONGRESS WASTING TIMES


Congress is wasting time in hear
ings before committee investigating
the prohibition laws. No one thinks
for a moment that the 18th Amend
ment is to be repealed or that the
government will repeal OF modify
it's enforcement statute. Ii it did,
most of the States have statutes
under which the amendment would
be enforced. So long as the amend
ment stands the manufacture and
sale of Intoxicating liquors, whether
whiskey or wines and beers, is for
hidden. What good purpose can be
served by long winded speeches OF
such men as Senator Bruce, Senator
Edge and their like. They represent
wet city constituents and OF course
are playing for the votes. When all
the talk has been heard, all the
questions asked and answered we
shall remain where we were.
The same is true of the straw
votes INDUCED in by wet newspapers
and magazines. The vets will vote,
in fact they are the ones asked to
vote, the drys will not vote or ii
they would they will not get the
chance to do so. The whole thing
is a farce and the sooner 1t Is
ended and Congress gets to work
on more important matters the
better. The vets will not succeed
in repeating the amendment, they
cannot get back the saloon that
most of them really want, and so
long as the 18th Amendment stands
they can not get wines and beers"
So long as the amendment stands 1t
should, in fact must, be enforced.
The failure to do this would be
confession of weakness that would
bring our government into disrespect
and bring us near the condition that
existed when under the articles OF
confederation we found the country
on the verge of disintegration.
If we cannot enforce the 18th
Amendment and the laws for it's en-
forcement we must ask ourselves
the question can we enforce any OF
our constitutional provisions or laws
if a minority of citizens defies them
If we cannot the much praised work
of the constitution builders fails to
meet the needs of today. We do
not believe this. The test has
come. We must face it. We are
wasting time with such hearings.
We don't need talk but action

HOG CHOLERA DURING MARCH

The disease was reported to exist
on five premises in Maryland during
he month, against Is a year ago
and seven year average of Is for
the same period. One of these was
'lassed as a back yard outbreak
while the others occurred on farms
where hogs are bred and raised
Three were classed as primary, and
.wo as secondary.
Anne Arundel county had three
outbreaks Washington and Somer-
let one each.
OF the primary outbreaks one was
apparently due to the feeding of
infected pork in table scraps. One
was due to the introduction of new
stock, while in one case the owner
knew so little about the hogs that it
was impossible to get any history OF
value. The tive secondary out
breaks were due to a combination of
unburied carcasses and loose hogs.
