COUNTY AGENTS COLUMN
J. H. CARTER,
Resident County Agent,
Returns From Sheep

heIurnS fTOm OHeep
Lambs and wool are likely to sell
for less this year than in many recent
years, but, whatever the prices, the
man who has his lambs and wool in
good shape is the man whose product
will be most attractive and should
sell best. For more than one good
reason, lambs should be fat and young
when sold. Such lambs please the
consumer and thus create an added
demand for lambs. Moreover, they
are relatively light in weight and do
not contribute unnecessarily to a glut
of an already well-supplied market.
One other point that the producer
should not overlook is the fact that
production costs are higher on the
heavy weights, even though it is Of
ten true that the overweight lamb
sells for much less per pound and Of
ten actually less per pound than does
the light, young, fat, attractive
| lamb.
Maryland sheepmen have an attrac-
tive market at their very doors. This
demand should be given careful
thought, and it should be supplied
with early lambs that will so well
meet market requirements that the
preference of buyers will continue to
be for the fine, fresh, fat, early Mary
land lambs that for years have been
an important source of incomel to
many Maryland sheepmen. Early
lambs should be made good and sold
while young this year. To carry
them to heavy weights is to invite
loss or reduced profits. Sheepmen
should breed, feed, and sell their
lambs in way that will make it pos
sible to realize a good profit from
their operations. Maryland lambs
should not be excelled by lambs from
any other state. 1t is for Maryland
sheepmen to say whether or not
lambs from Maryland will deserve and
hold a top place in the markets to
which they go.
"Young and fat" should apply to
market lambs in Maryland whatever
the date of their birth; lambs that are
not young and fat at time of market
ing cannot be expected to yield re-
suits that will be most satisfactory to
producer, dealer, and consumer. A
little feed will do much for little
lamb, but without feed enough he will
stay little for long time.

Maryland Dairymen Urged to Gull
Herds and Feed Properly

Dairymen of the State are faced
with the possibility of relatively low
prices for their products for the COM
ing year, according to the annual
Maryland Agricultural Outlook, which
has just been released by the Exten-
sion Service of the University of
Maryland. Copies of the new Outlook
may be secured by writing DR.. T. B.
Symons, director of the Extension
Service, College Park, Md.
Production, it is pointed out in the
Outlook, will probably be large during
the coming year and demand at a rel
atively low level. Satisfactory re-
turns can, therefore, be assured for
1881 only by the close culling of herds
and proper feeding of the known
higher producing cows.
In spite of the serious drought af-
fecting all parts of Maryland, the
quantity of milk produced and mark
eted during 1880 exceeded that of any
year in the history of the State. At
the same time, the per capita con-
sumption of milk and dairy products
has declined due to the decreased pur-
chasing power of the consumer.
The average price of 90 score but
ter at New York during 1880 was 8.5
cents per pound lower than in 1929
and 9.4 cents lower than the five-year
average. Fluid milk prices to produc-
ers were lower than year ago and
retail milk prices in most important
centers of consumption have declined.
On January 1, 1881, the number of
milk cows and heifers, two years old
and over, in the State was greater by
one per cent and the number of milk
heifers, one to two years old, was
greater by three per cent than on the
same date the year previous. There
are within the state greater number
of cows of productive age. Should
1881 be a normal crop year, produc-
tion of milk will probably exceed that
of 1880. Due to the general eco
nomic depression, consumption of
dairy products will probably be below
normal most of 1881 and, therefore,
the general outlook would seem to in
dicate continued low milk prices for
the year.

Public Utilities Body Is
In Need of Regulation
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
Just what is wrong with the Public
Utilities Commission? Something should
be administered TO them that viii cause
them to do some constructive work.
Why should unregulated drivers and
owners of taxi cabs with no financial
responsibility and who only have to pay
a license fee be permitted to operate at
whatever rate they please? Why should
these cabs be allowed to devastate the
street railways? The street railway sys-
TENS have to pay taxes on their proper
ties, pay for paving of the streets be-
tween the tracks, pay the salaries OF
traff1c officers at intersections. pay for
keeping their right of way clean in Win
ter time and their rates are rigidly reg
ulated by the dormant Public Utilities
Commission. What kind Of supervision
Of utilities is 1t which allows taxi cabs
to cruise along street car lines and steal
passengers? We all yell about poor serv-
ice which the street cars furnish, but
do the buses furnish any better service,
the odor which accompanies them?
What other city in the land has practi-
cally all Of its office employees dumped
on the transportation system &C one spe-
ciflc ttme-namely, ut 4:30 p.m.-so That
no transportation company could ade-
quately accommodate them? We are al
so impatient when we have to wait I'VE
minutes for street car running on q
ive-ninute schedule. But II you really
want to wait try to get a taxicab on
q rainy evening. Then consider the poor
Alexandria Railway line which the Pub
lie Utilities Commission refuses the reA-
sonable right to enter the downtown
section of washington, to say nothing
about establishing q terminal which It
should have near the center Of town.
Every other transit agency entering from
Maryland or Virginia has this right, yet
the poor Alexandria line Is not nearly
50 well favored as the alien interstate
bus lines, which clutter up our down.
town streets. The commission says that
the Alexandria line must bring its pas
sengers to a terminal which is at least q
mile away from downtown Washing
ton. A little intelligent regulation Of all
utilities In the District Is I'm order.

complete tansle Of responsibility. Not
until afternoon, some twenty hours
after the horse fen on the bridge, was
the body taken away.
1t would be well worth the while Of
somebody In authority In the District
Building to look into this matter and
ind out why this unseemly delay
occurred. True, there are not many
horses now in the streets Of Washing
ton. The dead horse wagon" does not
go about as it once did, taking the
unfortunate victims of the years and
heat and disease over to Patsy Mann's
reduction plant on the river bank. But
dead bodies of animals are found from
time to time in the streets and they
should always be removed Immediately.
Especially In warm weather.
These foolish lapses of responsibility
are not creditable at all to the District
government, and somebody should be
put on the carpet for effective repri-
mand for the blunder that led to the
Highway Bridge display Of ofhcial in
competence.

The Way to Peace Lies
Through Disarmament,

To the Editor Of The Star:
In the Star of August 2, there appears
an article by Gen. Petain Of France
referring to disarmament. He says to
Secretary StinSon: There must be Sc
curity for disarmament. Can you give
it? You can, but you viii not You
have consistently refused in the past.
yet If only you would say today, IF
France is attacked the United States
will intervene we could disarm to-
morrow. All we ask Is security"
This Is the whole thing in a nut
shell.
I would modify the condition In this
way:
If any nation that has signed the
BrMnd-Kellogg treaty is attacked by any
other nation, the United States will Join
these nations, by force, against any such
nation.
This would end resort 10 war. which
almost certainly win come II armament
continues
Why cannot our great Nation rise
above petty politics and bring about
this benefaction to mankind?
What statesman will come forward
and push this matter to o successful
close? Let him consider what Will be
his place in history.
Senator Borah can do It. .

Somebody, perhaps II was o. Henry,
once told q story about dead dog that
lay in the street in mid downtown in
New York for an unconscionably long
period while the oficial red tape Of

wound to the point whare carcass was
removed by the proper department. The

counsel takes the remarkable position
that his records are "confidential." as
between himself and his client. the city.
and are therefore not subject 10 sub
poena. Judge Seabury holds that there
can be no such relation between Q pub
lie law of1icer and the municipality that
his records ere unavailable for the
scrutiny Of Investigators working In the
public interest. This rather astonishing
view Of the corporation counsel will
probably be put TO test. Its very ad-
vancement is characteristic Of the Tam
many attitude, that It's business Is none
Of the public's business.
It is so well known that at certain
places In New York the law can, under
ofticial protection, be flagrantly violated
that 1t may seem O waste OF time Tor
Judge Seabury to dig after the facts. But
the designations Of the two police commits
sioners were not matters Of slight mo-
ment. Both men. when appointed, were
acclaimed IS splendid selections, es-
pecially Mclaughlin, who resigned from
an excellent position to take over the
burden Of police administration. Then
came his quiet retirement. He had gone
too far. and he was just leased out, " and
the public never knew why. He took
his medicine without complaint. The
same thing, in effect. happened to his
successor, Warren. Now Seabury wants
to know all about 1t. He probably Is well
with the facts personally.
That Is what makes his persistence so
to Tammany.

Square Desl Demanded
I'M Postal PrOmOtfOms

To the Editor 81 The star:
The Washington City post once cut
. big cake which proved disappoint-
ment when It was found to contain too
much Of an ingredient called favoritism.
Thirty special clerkships were dis
tributed 10 as many clerks, only three
Of them being awarded to men who
have had 20 or more years In the serv-
Ice, the remainder being given 10
younger men With shorter periods OF
service and no higher ratings.
One glaring instance was the promo
ton of q clerk with IL years OF service
over the heads Of i've deserving ana
faithful men who have given the best
Of their years and efforts TO the post
ONCE work. The local ONCE. through
its executive officials, would make 1t
appear that they are giving good serv-
Ice with the greatest possible speed, but
instead they are putting into practice q
system which destroys initiative ana
honest endeavor. It Is not reasonable 70
believe that men will strive for some
thing they cannot obtain, however ef-
ficiert they may be, except they have
the aid Of some one outside OF the clas-
sified service. Dihgent inquiry has dis
closed the fact that IN most OF the
l9IEe DOS6 OkI1CS8 btuOuBAOhe viz SOAh-
try the seniority rule Is adhered to more
strictly. always providing, Of course that
the individual keeps UP to certain mark
of efaciency, and On right-thinking peo-
Die VIII readily see the justice Of It.
Men who are intelligent enough TO do
such work are equally intelligent enough
to see the injustice and unfairness OF
any but the seniority rule. In various
places within the post ONCE placards
are posted which in substance read
thus: Employees are advised and eau
toned not to seek outside influences to
secure promotions or special assign
merts; that instead of this helping
them this will weaken their cause. That
all will be dealt with solely upon merit"
Notwithstanding this, more than two
thirds of the special clerkships that
have been bestowed in the last IL years
were given to those who had@ tnterme-
diaries soliciting these favors. The
postal workers will get nothing better
until that old bogy Who is his friend?"
has been scrapped for ell times and the
magnetic and inspiring words What
has he done?" the letters Of which has
been worked In purest silk placed in a
frame Of gold and so displayed that all
may see. When the principle Of the
square deal Is applied then win the bus

Of the Nations Capital get real serv-
