New Feed Available For Live
stock Owners

Maryland farmers who are looking
for substitute for hay are advised
to investigate a new product oat-
meal mill run feed which, according
to DR.. DeVoe Meade, specialist in
animal husbandry for the University
of Maryland Extension Service,
seems to be very satisfactory feed
for livestock, being at least equiva-
lent to timothy hay.
The new product, which has been
on the market but a short time, is
ground very coarsely and is being
delivered to various points in the
State in bag containers. It mixes
readyily with other feeds and can,
therefore, be used to replace large
part of the hay in dairy and live
stock rations. In the case of horses
it may be used practically as the sole
roughage.
Owing to the low cost and value
of this feed, dairy and livestock
farmers should make an effort to get
in touch with their respective county
agents who have samples of the
product. Approximately Is man.
ufacturers of oat products are able to
supply the new feed, it is said.

Farm Pay At Low Level

Farm wages on October were at
the lowest level since January, 1928,
because of poor crop prospects, farm
products price declines and the fact
that the supply of farm hands is
more than forty per cent in excess
of the demand, according to the
Bureau of Agricultural Economics,
United States Department of Agricul-
ture.
The bureau says the excessive sup
ply of farm hands ''is reflection of
the continuance of the present ex-
tensive business depression which
has scattered unemployed industrial
workers throughout agricultural Sec
tions in serch of a livelihood"
''The supply is in excess of the de-
mand in all geographical sections,
ranging from an excess of twenty
four per cent in the North Atlantic
States to forty-nine per cent in the
South Central States.
Day wages of farm workers not
provided with board now range from
about $3.50 in the Northeastern in
dustrial States, and $40 on the Pa
cific Coast, down to $1.05 to 81. Is
from South Carolina to Mississippi.
The North Central States show an
average of So. go a day, and the aver
age for the country is $2.12
Farm workers provided with board
are receiving an average of $1.61 per
day, and $31.31 when hired by the
month.

THE PILGRIMS SONG

Evangelist John Moses Baker
Baltimore, Maryland
Oh want to love Jesus forever,
With all of my heart, He's
my own;
Oh / want to be faithful and
serve Him,
And some day make heaven
my home.
Will you promise to meet me up
yonder,
Where the streets are all
paved with pure gold;
Oh I have a glad story to tell
you
It's a story that never grows
old.
Some day on the wings of an
angel
I'll be carried to realms of
delight;
Where loved ones are waiting
to greet us
In that City where cometh
no night.
Now out on life's ocean we're
sailing,
And bound for that ever
green shore;
We will anchor at last in that
harbor,
Where storm clouds will
come never more.
Oh l am so happy in Jesus;
Been redeemed by the blood
of the lamb;
He is mine now forever and
ever;
am His, praise the Lord,
yes / am.
Oh the warfare will soon be
over,
Every battle be fought and
won;
Soon the Master will call us
from labor,
And say to the faithful,
"well DONE"

Farmers of the State who are con-
templating planting trees on their
property next spring should not be
discouraged by the severe drought
of the past summer, since most of
the forest plantations in the various
counties have come through very
successfully, it is said by F. B. Trenk,
specialist in forestry for the Univer-
sity of Maryland Extension Service,
who has just returned from a tour of
inspection of these young plantations.
Particularly in the loblolly pine plan
tations of the Eastern Shore and
Southern Maryland sections of the
State the survivals have been as
great as during normally wet
season,

Red Cross Trains Girls In The
Home Care OF Sick

Simple and practical ideas for look

members of the family who are i'll,
the proper way to handle, battle,
drees and feed babies with view to
safeguarding their health, and sense
of the value of fresh air, sunshine,
cleanliness and wholesome living
conditions were taught by Red
Cross instructors to 56,415 school
girls and housewives throughout
the Uuited States and its insular pos
sessions in the past year. Altogeth-
er, there were 874 Red Cross
Chapters conducting classes in home
hygiene and care of the sick, with
1923 nurses engaged as instructors.
In Maryland, there were 524 stu
dents receiving this instruction, of
whom 295 finished the course and
passed the tests, receiving Red
Cross certificates.
knowledge of home care of the
sick is especially valued in localities
where professional nursing care is
not available. 1t is popular feature
of Red Cross work in the insular
possessions. Twenty-four classes
were conducted in Hawaii last year,
and twelve classes in Manila. The
Porto Rico chapter sent nurse to
the States to take teachers course
in home hygiene, and she is now i'm
parting her knowledge to women
and girls. Similar instructions is
given in the Virgin Islands.

SAVE YOUR EYES
By DR.. J. Fred Andreae, Sec.
Md. State Boaru Uptometry
THE STUPID CHILD

. VI LII O1111b
Children have claim upon their
elders for friendly and considerable
treatment and if they are harshly or
unjustly dealt with for errors they
cannot avoid, they will suffer in mind
and body. How often we find that
the hardened criminal of later life was
the child who was obstinate, stupid,
and under the continuous suspicion of
his teachers and elders.
A Texas optometrist recently exam
ined the eyes of the inmates of penal
institutions in that State and reported
a surprisingly large number of them
with one blind eye or with both eyes
very defective; some of the mates had
never before had glasses or known
what good vision really is. Their out
look on life had always been clouded
by defective vision.
It is worthy of note that it is excep-
tional for optometrists to meet with
children suffering from defective vision
who have not, before the defect was
discovered, been repeatedly punished
for obstinancy or stupidity. Instead,
teachers and parents finding these
qualities in a child should first ask,
docs he see well?" Ex-President
Roosevelt as a boy had very defective
vision but later, at the age of twelve,
when he had his first glasses, great
change was quickly noted and in his
biography he cites the great help which
his better eyesight brought to him.
The old saying of, "Spare the Rod
and Spoil the Child" may have been
alright in the old days and sometimes
applies even now, but how much bet
ter it would be to apply this rule, Find
the Trouble and Help the Child "

Maryland's Total Population Is
1,6S1,526

The final 1880 population bulletin
for Maryland, issued by the Census
Bureau, showed the largest numeri-
cal growth of any decade in its
history with the increase most mark
ed in areas close to Baltimore and
Washington.
The total population was 1881 ,526
an increase of 1871, 1865 or 1875 per
cent. over 1920. Fourteen of the %
counties display growth. Baltimore
county increased by 66.1 per cent.
Anne Arundel county, also adjoining
Baltimore and containing Annapolis
increased by 1854 per cent. Mont
gomery and Prince Georges counties
adjoining the District of Columbia
increased by 400 and 1876 per cent.
respectively.
Allegheny, Washington and Wi
comico counties containing respec-
lively the cities of Cumberland, Hag-
erstown and Salisbury, also showed
marked increased.
Five Marland cities had popula-
tons of more than 10000. Balti-
more's population no longer num-
bers more than half the population OF
the entire state, because of increases
in suburban areas.
Seventeen Maryland towns were
incorporated during the last ten
years.

MARYLAND ROADS
Report Issued By The State
Roads Commission

Maryland's status in State highway
work in practically every item is ex-
cellent as compared with that of the
average State and in several items
the percentage of attainment by Mary
land is highest or she is just a short
way from the top" the Maryland
State Roads Commission asserts.
A report with tables of compare
tive figures, was made public by the
commission based on a survey of the
Maryland highway system from 1898
down to the present day. The
report, more complete than any ever
made by the commission, will be dis
tributed to the public this week.
Not only does the report issued by
the roads commission compare what
Maryland has done with accomplish
ments of other States but it compares
the preaent system as it exists today
with the system in 1920. The State
roads in each Maryland county are
compared with those in all other
counties.
A document of several hundred
pages, the report contains more than
a dozen maps showing the extent Of
the State roads system at various
periods, the volume of traffic on each
of the main roads, the extent which
they are used by bus and freight
truck lines and the location of bridges
and eliminted grade crossings. In
addition, number of photographs of
"old and uew" roads and of bridges
and yiaducts are included.
The report also includes detailed
description of the accounting system
set up within the commission in JAM
uary, 1929, when the present commits
sion of G. Clinton Uhl, Howard
Bruce and John K. Shaw took office.
That was after the disclosure that
1872, 900 had been stolen from the
Roads Commission by employees in
key positions.
Appended to the report are more
than fifty pages of tables giving a de-
tailed explanation of how the COM
missions money from Jan. Is, 1929,
to August 81, this year, was obtained
and spent. The financial details of
each county's account on the books
of the commission also are given, as
well as the general overhead and
maintenance accounts.
In the foreword to the report, the
commission pointed out that 1890 is
the thirtieth anniversary of the first
actual construction in 1900 of rural
highway in Maryland" under the
auspices of the State Highway de-
partment, the twenty-fifth anniver-
sary of the building of the first high
way with State aid in Maryland and
the twentieth anniversary of the
construction in 1910 of the first rural
highway built exclusively with State
money.
For these reasons and in order to
determine whether Maryland is keep
ing pace with other States in high
way work, the commission under
took the survey several months ago,
employing experts to assemble the
data and make the investigations
necessary, it was explained.
The Commission feels that this re-
port should be of particular interest
to the people of Maryland, and
copies will be available for distribn-
ton at the office of the Commission
