SUPER-HIGHWAY BILL IS
DEFEATED

There will be no super highway
built in Maryland this year. Moth
ing more will be done in this con-
nection until the House of Delegates
meets again.
A bill appropriating money to build
a wide highway from BALTIC. toward
Philadelphia had been introduced,
but when it was learned that this
money was to be spent by the State
Roads Commission on Route 40,
which is the road thru Aberdeen and
Havre de Grace, with the consequent
neglected Of U. S. Route |, the bill
was killed in the committee.
This however, will not interfere
with the improvements to be made
in the Deer Creek road, and the elm
nation of some bad curves at
Porter's Bridge. The pressure
brought to bear by the members of
Route 1 Association led the State
Roads Commission to promise that
these improvements be completed
this summer.

BUSINESS PITFALLS
IN FARM DISTRICTS
Bankers Point Out Hazards OF
Unsound Practices and Help
Farmers to Avoid Them.

WAYS in which bankers may discour
w age unsound farm practices are de.
scribed by President y. D. Farrell Of
the Kansas State Agricultural College
in the American Bankers Association
Journal. He says:
SIN Kansas In connection with the
importation Of dairy cattle, q large
shipment Of very inferior animals came
into county to be sold at auction to
local farmers. The county agricultur-
al agent informed the bankers that the
cattle would be q detriment to the
community. The bankers refused to
finance the purchase of the cattle and
the sale was abandoned. The cattle
were shipped to another county. The
county agent and the bankers there
did as was done In the first instance
and the second county escaped.
"a year ago creamery promoters be-
gan trying to capitalize the Kansas
farmers desire to improve his markets
by inducing communities Of farmers
to purchase creamery plants before
production and local conditions justi.
fed them. Informed of this by the
State Agricultural College. the bank
ers association sent warnings to every
bank in the state, leading many to re-
fuse to support the creamery promot-
ers until the college approved the plant
for the community concerned. This
saved mahy communities loss from the
premature establishment Of plants.
"a third way bankers can discourage
unsound practices is to refuse to fin
ance farmers who wish to pyramid their
enterprises, a temptation difficult to re-
sist. This is illustrated among farm
ers who buy cattle for feeding purs
poses. A farmer feeds two or three
cars Of cattle one year and makes .
good profit. This induces him to buy
twice or three times as many the Sec
ond year, still more the third and 50
on until he finally loses more by having
too many cattle on feed in a year OF
bad prices than he made in several
previous years with smaller numbers
and better prices. When bankers dis
courage bad practices their action Is q
positive benefit to the farmers con-
cerned."

No heart aches, no sorrow, nor

Where the flowers bloom SO

In the beautiful valley of Eden,
With the blood washed over

With the blood washed throng
in Heaven,
The beautiful home of the soul.

WHAT A KEY BANKER
DID FOR HIS COUNTY

The farmers Of one county in Ten.
nessee are receiving 100000 addi-
tional annual income from new farm
enterprises started since 1926 through
the efforts Of "key banker" and the
county agent, according to estimates
from the Tennessee College of Agri-
culture. A "key banker" is part of the
state bankers association voluntary
field force cooperating with the Ameri-
can Bankers Association in its nation.
wide plan for bringing about better
agricultural conditions through COM
bined banker-farmer effort. New pro-
jects started in this particular county
are tobacco, Irish potato and cabbage
production for cash crops, and dairy
ing and poultry raising for livestock.
The key banker, looking for some
thing to do to better his community,
first attempted to procure a county
agent but was unable to get the county
to make the necessary appropriation.
SO he and other leading citizens made
up the requisite funds through private
subscription among farmers and bust.
ness men and an agent was employed.
Up until 1926 grain was the prin-
cipal farm production In the county.
The banker recognized the disadvant-
ages of this. 1t afforded low cash
income, and the land was too billy and
rough for profitable grain raising. His
idea was to introduce cash crops that
offered more return per acre and were
better fitted to the county. It was de-
cided that the county should stand
ardize on the Green Mountain potato
and to market it in carload lots.
Through his bank he sponsored the
buying OF car of certified seed
potatoes. He likewise bought some
high quality tobacco seed and several
hundred settings of purebred eggs.
These supplies were distributed at cost
through the banks to the farmers.
After considerable effort market
for dairy products was assured the
farmers when in 1928 national cheese
company located factory there. A
county appropriation was secured for
county agent work in 1928.
In 1929 the cash crop program re.
suited In farmers selling $4,000 worth
of milk, $15o.00O worth Of tobacco and
ffty-five carloads of potatoes and cab
bage, mostly through cooperative sales.
"This was some step from the $4,000
worth of cash crops in 1926" the
county agent says. "and indications
are that this amount will be doubled"

HOME BAKING is ON THE
INCREASE

Home baking is decidedly on the
increase rather than on the wane, is
the conviction of Mrs. Grace Wall
Gray, noted home economics autho-
rity and director of the Household
Science Institute. Mrs. Gray, in her
work, is in constant touch with hum
reds of women all over the country
and from them has learned that even
with a grocery store around the COR
ner and bakery across the way, the
majority of women still prefer to do
their own baking.
A new receipt is challenge to the
average housewife, says Mrs. Gray,
and a piece of ready-made cake, a
double challenge. She wants to
prove that she can make it better
herself and the chances are, she can.
There is certain satisfaction from
baking a perfect loaf of bread, a
mountaineering pan of biscuits or a
party cake, that cannot be had by
merely ordering it. And how about
mullins, hot for breakfast, or de-
lightful nut or orange bread for after
noon tea sandwiches? Many women
who have, gotten out of the way Of
baking at home are returning to it
with gusto for the sheer pleasure Of
proving their skill to themselves,
their families and their friends"
Economy is another factor Of home
baking, the Institute has discovered.
The amount of savings varies, natur-
ally, with the varying costs of bakery
goods, ingredients and fuel in differ
ent cities, but there is always enough
saving to warrant the making of
breads, pastries and cake at home.
In one city for example, three full
sized loaves of bread can be made at
home for ten cents, far less than
even the cheapest quality can be
purchased over the counter, and
other goods are in proportion.
Superior quality, too, is the reward
of the woman who bakes at home,
concludes Mrs. Gray. She can use
the finest grade of soft wheat flour
for her baking, fresh eggs and good
butter, she can be assured of abso-
lutte cleanliness and purity, and still
be money ahead. The few cents
extra per 24-lb. SACK for buying the
best grade of flour are saved several
times over by the lesser amounts Of
shortning and eggs necessary when
a good qurlity of flour is used.

But even in this man can
not entirely outwit nature.
The cells of-the tree retain a
major portion of this stored

only the smaller part. If he
could get all of it the tree
would not be able to put forth

time would die.

Princess Agreneva Slaviansky has

cally Russian lines with all the
crashing crescendos and long
drawn-out diininuendos SO dear to
the Russian heart and so attractive
to the American ear. No other race
seems able to draw its music SO fine
or to give it such emphasis.
There were folk dances, vigorous,
colorful, characteristic, ali thor
oughly enjoyable and rare enter
