AMERICAN WAY BEST

The representative of the National
Farmers Union of England, visiting
the fertile fields of Oregon, says that
good farming and poor living go to-
gether; that high standards OF in
tensive cultivation are impossible
without cheap labor, content with a
low standard of living.
The American idea is to substitute
power for human labor, wherever
pssible; to put steam and gas and
electric power into the fields in lieu
OF overworked men and women and
children, and so make humanity free
The basic facts are alike, in Eng
land, America, everywhere-that
cheaper, stronger, more tractabie
la Dor is essential. But here We Wis

There are approximately ESQ, coo
miles of single main track railway in
the United States which, with Sec
ond, third and fourth main tracks
terminal switching, siding and pas

railway mileage of 100000.
The railroads own 10000 lOcomo-

100 freight cars.
Our railroads have nearly half OF
I'll railroad tracks of the world,
handle every year more than half OF

Our railroads are owned by about
1900 and operated by about 1000

known as class l railroads (having

AREAS DEFINED WHERE SINK
BOXES MAY BE USED in
MARYLAND

The Federal regulations under the
mlgratory-bird treaty act. as amend
ed and approved by Secretary Jar
dine on April 4, 1927, prescribe the
conditions under which sinkbcwas
(batteries) may be used in hunting
certain migratory game birds on
coastal waters. In order to clear up
any doubt in the minds of sportsmen
rs to where sinkbox may be used
n Maryland waters without violating
either the Federal regulations or the
lew State game laws. officials of the
Biological Survey of the United
States Department of Agriculture,
which enforces the migratory bird
reaty act and regulations, have con-
erred with the Maryland State game
warden, and it has been decided that
iinkboxes may be used without vio-
ating either law If they are placed

THINK THIS OVER

Commenting on study of the cost
of government made by the Nationa
Industrial Conference Board, Magnus
w. Alexander, President OF the
Board, says:
while the Federal government
simultaneously with its drastic tax
reduction program since 1921, has
utilized more than 81 per cent of its
total expenditures for debt retire
ment, the state and local govern
ments combined, since 1921 have
spent less than four per cent for the
purpose of meeting maturing obliga-
tions.
1T is this policy Of piling up new
Indebtedness without retiring ap'
preciable portions OF old debts that
threatens to create unbearable taa
burdens unless the fiscal policies OF
local and state governments undergo
a radical reform.
"Only the most drastic check to
these mounting expenditures will
prevent the tax bills OF oar state and
local governments from becoming
an intolerable burden to business
and to the individual taxpayer. Any
business concern managed on such g
basis would soon be forced into
bankruptcy.

TO BE A MOTOR PATRIOT

AS the authorities improve the
highways from year to year it be-
comes the duty of motorists to do
their bit in keeping these roads clean
and free from glass, nails and other
things that damage tires, says a
statement issued last week by the
Lancaster Automobile Club. 1.-The
motorist. who thoughtlessly throws
paper, boxes, leftover lunch and
various other materials upon the
highways is surely not doing his or
her part" says S. Edward Gable,
president of the Auto Club. And
the same is true of the driver who
stops to put up advertising signs
along the roads.
The motorist who places large
stone under a wheel in stopping on
an incline and leaves that stone there
for the next car to dodge, and per
haps in so doing be swerved from
his path and into ditch, is in no
wise doing his part in keeping the
highway clean or making it safe.
mo matter whether driving in
your home county, or in some other
county or state, show the same pride
with in your own home. The acts
above mentioned, in the majority OF
cases, are not maliciously done, but
simply are a matter of thoughtless-
ness.
Lastly, whenever you see glass,
nails or like materials on the surface
of a public highway take minutes
time and remove it. You may save
the other fellow serious trouble, as
well as time and money.
1.-THE greatest motor patriot is the
fellow who is always ready and will
ling to do that which will save the
other person"

PREVENTING PREvENTABLE
DISEASES

Because of an increase in diph-
liberia and typhoid fever, throughout
the State, during the first six months
of the present year, in comparison
with the occurance of the same dis
eases during the corresponding per-
| fight against these preventable dis
eases were mapped out at the mid
summer conference of Deputy State
Health Officers at the State Depart
ment of Health.
DR.. r. H. Riley, Assistant Director
of the State Department of Health
and Chief of the Bureau OF Com
municable Diseases. who presided at

many parts of the country there has
been an increase in typhoid and diph-
iberia. Maryland has shared in the
general fiare-up. From the first of

June, 81 cases of diphtheria were
reported to the Bureau of Communi-
cable Diseases from the counties.
In 1925, during the same period, the
| number was 232,-79 fewer cases.
Typhoid fever has shown similar
increase. A total of 165 cases was

POLITICAL BUCCANEERS UNPOP'
ULAR

There is a time-honored belief
that preceding a presidential election
year, business slows up and uncer-
tainty prevails.
There have been good grounds for
such a supposition because in the
past political leaders and political
parties dealt ruthlessly with the
wage Garner and the investor in their
efforts to intlame the public on So
called party issues" and ride into
office on a wave of indignation or
misunderstanding of the voters.
The day of political buccaneering
is passing just as did the days of the
seafaring pirate. The people are
better informed. They realize that
certain basic conditions must be
maintained in this country il en-
ployment and security of investments
are to prevail. They know that
these conditions must be maintained
by whatever party is in power.
They do not listen with favor to the
radical members of any party who
would use their party as vehicle
for exploiting visionary theories
which would endanger the stability
of the country. The people begin to
realize that the title of President OF
the United States is synonymous
with the term General Manager >of a
great corporation which is RESPONSE
BILE for the well-being OF thousands
of workmen and investors. H..
Never in the history of the United
States have the people had such an
object lesson in the close parallel be-
tween government and business as
since the World War. During that
time millions of citizens have invest
ed money on which they wished to
earn a fair interest return. They
have found that without safe and
stable government their investments
and their earnings are imperiled
Therefore, they have been forcibly
impressed with the fact that good
government and good business &c
hand in hand, and you cannot have
| one without the other.

TIMBER AN IMPORTANT CHECK
ON RUN-OFF OF RAINFALL
ON HJLLY FARM LANDS

That relatively small amount of
'imber has decided influence in re-
ducing the rate of run-off of rainfall
from watersheds on small agricul-
tural areas, is shown by study just
. completed on 112 acre farm in
Madison County, Tennessee.
This study was characterized by K.
N. Munns. in charge OF the Office of
Forest Experiment Stations of
the Forest Service, United States
Department of Agriculture. as one It
the most important contributions
toward our knowledge of the effect
of forests upon water flow that has
been made in recent years. 1t is an
indication, he said, of the valuable
part that farm forestry can play in p
program for controlling erosion and
the diminution of floods il the Mis-
sissippi Valley
Observations were made over a
period of several months on two
small watersheds on this farm. one
of which was IA per cent in timber
and the other approximately 80 per
cent. 1t was found that the average
run-Off of surface waite during pc
"iods of heaviest rains was some so
per cent greater on the watershed
with the least timber, although the
interception and absorption of rain
fall on timbered areas is much great
or at the beginning of a rain than
later when the ground becomes sat
urated and, therefore, the effect of
timber IN reducing run-off is slight
when the NAHUM rate of run-off oc-
ours after considerable rain already
has fallen on the watershed.

Such land as these, which can b.

Munns, are well suited for use az

His station has been carrying on fer
tilizer experiments continuously on
the same land for SO years. When
such experiments are carried far
he said in a recent talk a.
