EMERGENCY MEASURES FOR
DROUGHT CONDITIONS

The measures recommended at the
Farmers Marketing conference held
last week that have been published
thru the daily press. The tobacco
section of the conference recommended
that increased sowing of winter oats
and barley be made in the part of the
state to relieve the grain shortage of
next summer. That adequate sowings
of wheat and rye be made for winter
pasture and early hay production next
spring. Where either of these are
sown for hay that hairy vetch be added
and that the vetch seed be inoculated.
For regular June hay requirements if
the weather conditions permit that a
; mixture of timothy, red top and alsike
clover be sown. Particular attention
should be given to the saving and
care of all fodder They also recon-
mended that the Maryland Tobacco
Growers Association apply to the
Farm Board for a loan on lonl er
terms for the relief of their members.
Any farmer desireing to have a full
copy Of the report may secure same
by applying to the County Agent.

HAVE THEY BEEN VACCINATED?

Only a few days more of the 1880
vacation and then the schools open
for another term, some of the most
important of the travellers along the
public highways will be the five and
six year-olds just starting ON theroad
to the three RS.
Parents of these prospective first
graders are reminded by DR.. r. H
Riley, Director of the State Depart
ment Of Health, of the Maryland Law
which will not permit child to be en-
rolled in school unless he has been
successfully vaccinated against small
poX. THE family physician is expected
to vaccinate every baby or young child
under his care, DR.. Riley said, "and
the parents should see that tits done"
$50 long as a child is under school
age, the responsibility for having the
child protected against smallpox rests
with the parents. If they neglect to
have it done, when the child is sent to
school, the responsibility shifts to the
teacher. Any teacher who permits the
enrolment of unvaccinated children
is liable to fine of ten dollars for
each and every offense.
THE comparativef freedom Maryland
has had from smallpox, has been
brought about largely through the in
telligent cooperation of parents, ply
sicians and teachers with the health
departments of Baltimore City and the
State, in carrying out the provisions
of the vaccination law. Our State re
cords for 1880 are entirely blanF, so
far as the occurrence of smallpox is
concerned During 1929, there were
eight cases reported in Mary land, all
OF them in the counties.
"What happens when vaccination
against smallpox is neglected is to be
Gathered from the records of some of
tie other States. The weekly reports
Of the L. S, Public Health Service for
the six weeks ending early in July,
show that for that period alone, nearly
six thousand cases were reported from
different sections of country, $500 to
be exact; while 5,066 we're reported
during the corresponding six weeks in
1929.
This is one time when we are glad
for Maryland not to be on the map
and we ask the cooperation of every
Marylander in keeping our records
clear Of this utterly unnecessary d.
sease,"

CANDIDATES FILE FOR
COUNTY OFFICES

Despite the fact that Monday of this
week was the last day on which candi-
dates could file their certificates for
local Offices, little or no excitement
was apparent in the County Seat on
that day. The Republicans had met
the day before at the home of their
County Chairman, and had virtually
agreed upon a full ticket, and the
question of filing certificates remained
merely matter of form One or two
vacancies still exist on their ticket, but
these will be filled by the State Gen.

that Mr.. John N Simms, who filed for
the Republican nomination for State
Senate did SO as an accommodation
to the Party, In order to keep that
position open, and that he will likely
withdraw later on when the Republi-
cans are ready to announce their re-
gular candidate for that Office. On
the Democratic side, only four candi-
dates filed.
