Early Maturing Varieties Best Oats
for Maryland


Farmers who contemplate planting
spring oats should pay particular at
tention to the variety they use, ac-
cording to F. W. Oldenburg, special
list in agronomy for the university of
Maryland extension service. The aver
age Maryland farmer is entirely too
lax about the source and type of seed
he uses and, in the majority of cases,
late "feed" oats are the ones planted.
Early maturing, rust-resisting va
rieties are advised for the State, es-
pecially for those counties bordering
on the Pennsylvania line, where four
fifths of the $4,000 bushels of oats
raised annually in Maryland are
grown. According to the experiences
of the Maryland and Pennsylvania
experiment stations and farmers of
that section, there are no better va
rieties than the Kherson and those
derived from the Kherson. These are:
Iowa 103, Iowa los, Iowar and Iogold.
For the Eastern shore and southern
Maryland the Fulghum and Burt va
rieties are recommended. The Gopher,
from Minnesota, and the Comedian,
developed at Cornell University, are
also good, the Gopher veriety doing
especially well in West Virginia.
Varieties that mature early, while
they give the highest yields, at the
same time produce less straw and if
a farmer desires straw he should
grow those varieties that mature me-
dunn early. Under no conditions
should he use the late varieties.
Because few Maryland farmers
have in the past requested the early
maturing seed it may be found diff
cult to obtain this type in local seed
houses. However, any farmer may,
by writing to his County Agent or
to Mr.. F. W. Oldenburg, obtain list
of houses in the West from which
this seed can be bought.

fessor of economics, political science
and history, dean of the school of
rural economics and sociology, extern
sion specialist in rural organization
and marketing, chief Of the Maryland
State department of markets and as

unions cease to be true to their his
toric mission they will pass into obliv-
ion-and rightfully so.
To class trade unions with frater-
nal organizations, welfare societies
and general uplift work is to ignore
our bedrock philosophy.
Our trade unions have everything
that other organizations have. But
we have something that no other
group possesses.
We deny that public opinion at any
given time is the last word. We dc
more-we challenge every attempt OF
individual and governmental absolut
ism that is approved by those who
ignore the American ideal and whs

TRADE UNIONS CREATE
NEW PUBLIC OPINION

Does the Brookwood College presi-
dent understand the trade union
movement?
In recent speech he was quoted:
"The trade unions should be subject
to public opinion, the same as any
other social agency"
This can be interpreted in various
ways, but on its face it is acceptable
to anti-union employers. 1t is more
crafty suggestion than court control
through Incorporation of trade unions,
labor injunctions and anti-strike
laws, as in Kansas and Colorado.
Our trade unions are not "social
agencies" in the accepted sense. We
are ever in advance of public opinion
We set new intellectual standards
We are path blazers in every struggle
for a better life.
We must be subject to law, but
how can we be subject to public
opinion that may-and often does
ignore that law? If we were subject te
such public opinion" where would
we be today?
In these struggles we were within
our lawful rights, but we defed pub
lie opinion of that time. This is the
history of shorter workday move
ments, higher wages, abolition Of
child labor, free school books, protec.
ton of workers lives and limbs, com.
pensation laws and every other gain
Social agencies often approved
these battles after success was as
sured, but the unions initiated these
movements.
Social agencies accept the status
quo. Our unions are based on a pro-
test against the status quo. If or

Well, not for what some people think,
anyway.
And unless we can get to using ma
chinery as it should be used it will
turn around and choke US every now
and then.
We can't laugh this thing off. Nor
can we tolerate the red way of smash
ing our civilization,
Senator'S are dumb about it-as
dumb as are most big employers.
Well, with all these big problems
on our collective chest, spring Is
nevertheless in the air.
On fine spring day even dark
spots look less bleak. National ideas
grow stronger, day by day. Common
sense in the end must win-and will.
Pessimism is the stock in trade of
the wrecker. The American people
have two characteristics. They are
good repair men; and they are quick
to take something better once they
see it. So we'll take the new ma
chinery and fix the structure to suit
the new conditinos.

GAS CAN'T BE
WASTED; SAVING
LAW is UPHELD

Sacramento, Calif.-The state su-
preme court upheld California law
which limits wastage of natural gas
in producing oil. Untold millions Of
cubic feet of gas were permitted to
be blown into the air by owners of
oil wells who attacked the law upon
the ground that it infringes upon the
rights Of ownership of private prop
erty as guaranteed by the constitu-
ton.
Judge Hazlett refused to classify a
natural resource as private property
Il am finally satisfied" he said, "that
the great natural resources not made
by the hand of man should be and
can be conserved by legislation, and
their taking and use limited for the
general public good and for the good
of those owning or producing. These
general principles are established by
our courts"

SIX-HOUR DAY
For Workers Urged By
Trainmen's Chief

San Francisco.-A universal six
hour work day in this country to cure
unemployment was urged by A. F.
Whitney, president Brotherhood of
Railway Trainmen, in a speech to the
Commonwealth Club in this city.
The speaker said there were 4,000,-
900 unemployed men in the United
States, and that this situation is a
challenge to every thoughtful citizen.
He traced the development of
labor-saving and automatic machin-
cry and scientific processes, and ex-
planned that these methods have
made it possible for the railroads
alone to dispense with HUNDREDS OF
| thousands of workers during the past
ten years, while more passengers and
freight are handled.
He declared that unemployment
and low wages are wrecking the ma
tion's homes and that the railroads
should lead in the movement to re-
duce working hours.
Child labor laws, he insisted, shoulc
be Immediately enacted and no chile
under 16 years should be allowed te
work. At the present time 100000
children are taking the places of fam
lily men in industry, he said.
"What prospects are in store TO.
America if we allow the mother an:
children to work while the father re-

An anti-union textile corporation
of Danville, Va. (Dan River and
Riverside Cotton Mills) paid 10 pei
cent dividend to stockholders last yea,
out of it's surplus, and has recently
cut wages 10 per cent.
1t is not unusual for companies
to reach into their strong box ano
pay dividends to stockholders wher
profits temporarily lag.
But why can't this surplus be used
to maintain wages?
Is the so-called wage" of the dol

about many things. sometimes pro-
foundly, sometimes Aippantly,
sometimes recklessly.

Isn't there fable somewhere about
man who, contemplating himself
with eminent satisfaction, puffed and
putfed and puffed until-smithereens!
1t isn't difficult to imagine the SEN
ate lobby committee, with Senator
Caraway right up in front, putting
and putting and putting.
Immense satisfaction is written all
over everything.
Yet what is it all about? What
essential thing has been learned?
The committee has shoveled some
stuff that is nasty. Nasty, but not
new. It has walked around the deep,
black holes-walked around putting
and putting and putting.
Worse than that, citizenship rights
have been confused. To lobby is a
right. To ask a legislator to favor a
given measure is merely the exercise
of the right of petition. The lobby
committee, with its smirking and
putting, has tended to draw all lobby
ing into disrepute, yet without ever
getting within gunshot of the real rot
of Washington lobbying-the lobby.
ing that amounts to something more
than asking.
This lobby committee continues tt
pose and to impress some people, but
it impresses nobody quite as much as
it impresses itself.
Outlaws cost no money-let's have
another. Take the senatorial aston
ishment at the discovery that trad
ing was going on. Trading, in thi
sense is when one senator says t.
another: "I'll vote for your bill i
you'll vote for mine" Old as tn
hills.
Sometimes it can be very bad
sometimes not at all harmful. Blu
the point is, it is not new. Senate
Caraway pounced upon it and de
nounced it. He had made a grea
discovery.
/ This palaver about surface thing
gets tiresome at times. This bust
ness of being shocked by the obviou
eventually loses its humorous aspect
1t gets plain tiresome.
But the senate, in spite of it
vaudeville performers, is great in
stitution. They don't all go puff
puff!
Unemployment remains present
The government thinks there is a lit
tie less-something like one per cent
| Perhaps the man who is one per cen
less unemployed feels one per cen
better than he did last month.
The senate isn't doing much abou
that question, either; nor will it.
At bottom, most office holders anG
most employers simply will not face
the unemployment issue. They viii
not see what causes it, nor will they
see that the cure must be radical.

thing a new character. And new
speed.

DOHENY-FALL

Last week jury hearing the
charge that Edward L Doheny, rich
oil magnate, bribed Albert B Fall
President Harding's secretary of the
interior, with 100000, found Doheny
not guilty. Some time back another
jury found Fall guilty of accepting
the bribe. Which jury is right? If
Doheny didn't offer a bribe, how then
can Fall be guilty of accepting one
On the other hand, if Fall really is
guilty of accepting a bribe in this
instance, isn't it a certainty that Do
heny is guilty of offering one? Which
is which, or who's who? Or is it per-
haps, as one United States senator
said, "You can't convict a 500, ,0OO,-

My Dear Miss Leeds: have writ
ten to you once before, but have not
been successful in hearing from you, so
I am taking this opportunity to write
again. I. have always been immensely
interested in your beauty talks and
would appreciate your advice on my
problems very much. % ! have red
hair and would like to darken 1t, but
am afraid to use anything which would
harm 1t. Could you suggest something
for me? / am inclosing sample of it
for you. CD am feet one-half inch
tall and weigh lie pounds. I am 20
years old. Am I very much over
weight? am taking some of the bend
ing exercises which I read about in
your column and they have helped me
q great deal. COLBY LOCKS.
Answer-I'm sorry that you missed
seeing an answer to your problems in
this column. When q great many read
ers ask the same question Gas they often
do) I have to save space by answering
in an article which applies to all. Now
for your special questions. CD think
the hair indicated by the sample you
sent is very pretty, and 1 don't believe
I should want to darken those lovely
bright tirlts. However, II you are sure
that you want 1t darker, you may use
henna rinse without hurting the hair
The henna rinse for auburn or chest
nut brown hair is made by boiling 2
ounces of dried henna leaves in
quart of water until dark reddish
brown liquid results. Strain out the
leaves and add water until the desired
shade is obtained. Apply the warm liq-
uid to the hair while it Is still wet after
shampoo, using a small sponge or
toothbrush to spread 1t evenly over each
strand of hair. Leave 1t on for few
minutes and then rinse the hair In clear
water and dry 1t. You may have to ex-
pertinent with the henna tea for sew
eral shampoos until you get just the
shade you desire, but as this is a vege-
table product. it won't harm the hair
and I'm wishing you good luck. (2)
Your weight is correct. I am glad you
enjoy the bending exercises. They are
very good for keeping the body supple
and muscles youthful. Keep them up
regularly, for they are as much of a
