COUNTY AGENTS COLUMN
J. H. CARTER,
Resident County Agent,

The seed laboratory at the Agri-
cultural Experiment Station, College
Park, Maryland, was established and
is maintained by the State because of
the recognized importance of the use
of suitable seeds for the production of
our agricultural crops. Like all other
similar agencies, however, it can help
only those who will help themselves.
Are you making use of the facili-
ties Of the laboratory? If not, would
it not be in your own interest to al
low it to help you sell or use only
good seeds ,<..
Everyone recognizes The fact that
only good seeds should be used. Every
one cannot recognize good Tor poor
seeds. The laboratory can help you to
avoid the use of seeds that may carry
noxious weed seed or may be of low
vitality. No Maryland farmer should
run the risk Of a crop failure because
of using unsuitable seed when, by
sending a sample of what he intends
to sow to the laboratory, he can learn
whether it is of good quality. Let the
seed laboratory test your seed, "Know
what you sow. 1t will pay you to do
this in this day of keen competition.
Last year was the biggest year the
laboratory ever had and the number
of samples that have been sent in this
year is larger than for the same per-
iod last year. In other words, more
persons are learning that it is to their
advantage to make use of the seed
laboratory.
When you buy seed demand seed
that is carefully tagged. Avoid low
quality seed. Address seed samples
to Seed Laboratory, College Park, Md.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-05-12
By RODNEY BUTCHER (NEA Service Writer)

Washington. To over-produc- tion and under consumption, words often used to explain business de- pression and unemployment as well as agricultural distress, add an- other: over-capacity.
 "A general increase in prOduc- tive capacity which has temporarily outstripped the rate of increase in population and in the capacity of consumption" was listed first among a dozen causes and symptoms of depression by the council of the 1n- ternational Chamber of Commerce. The congress of the chamber here, assembling a thousand men promi- nent in the worlds business, indus try and finance, emphasized the point.
 Plants built to produce far in ad- vance of what consumers reason ably may be expected to consume involve heavy capital investment and innumerable jobs for workers which suffer together when the breaking point comes. Over-capac- ity results in over-production.
 Not Under Consumption
 As for the other factor, under consumption, President Georges Theunis of the international cham Der points out that although some countries have lost purchasing power the term ''under-consump-

could not afford to lend them at the rate of six billion or more an- nually for the purchase of such products.
 Competition Blamed
 But competition spurred on inn provement of production facilities and capital was called upon "until to day we find millions upon mill lions of idle capital investment with it's consequent heavy charge and with little likelihood of early utili- zation in manner to earn it's keep"
 Concretely, Traylor cited the auto mobile industry with it's annual pro- duction capacity of 8,000,000 cars and trucks and recent estimates of the possible American market at around 4,000,0 900. Maximum capocity in the radio industry is apparently nearly three times the normal sales possi- bility, he said, "and similar illustra- tions could be produced in various degrees for most of our principal industries"
 Intelligent understanding should have indicated that such overexpan- sion would leave industries seriously involved and employees out of work when the peak demand had passed. Traylor said, and as for financiers, as early as 1927 it was obvious to anyone experienced in granting cred it that if expansion and speculation were not checked disaster was in- evitable. But every kind and charac- ter of combination and merger was made without regard to economic advisability or future possibilities of economy and profits,

False or unsafe positions frequent ly have been aggravated ty tariffs or other government aid. it was pointed out by Jean Parmentier, director of the French Credit Fon- cier. As smaller and intermediary plants had to suspend they have been taken over in the general trend to- ward industrial consolidation, Par mentier pointed out, and operated by larger groups. Instead of disap- bearing as the weak sisters of in- dustry they have remained to re- tard what might be regarded as normal solution of depression.
 Absolves Farmers
 Overcapacity and overproduction have cursed both industry and ag- riculture. Theunis pointed out, but he absolved the farmers in compari- son with the industrialists on the ground that the latter knew just what they were about when they entered the field of competition with excess productive capacity. In- dustrial over-production might be brought about by small group or industrialists, but agricultural over production was the result of a strug- gle of many millions of producers fighting to maintain certain type Of individual independence by main- taining themselves on the soil.
 Elsewhere at the congress was traced clearly the progress of the great depression and it was shown how raw materials production and finished materials production went to pot together. Sketchily: The raw ma terials countries began to suffer at the time of the 1927-2S slump in Germany. The great industrial coun- tries were going full tilt but raw ma terials were produced far in excess of the peak market for them, re- sulting in falling prices which seri- ously affected the raw materials countries and their buying power.
 As other countries faced severe economic crisis the industrial cOun- tries passed the boom zenith and started downward. They wanted less raw material then, of course, and the raw materials countries were hit harder than ever. Unemployment came along in a big way and soon no country was equipped to buy it's, quota from the worlds vast over- expansion of productive facilities.

Milford, turn left at Milford, on the
Rehoboth road and follow this
route to the road intersection
which leads to Oak Orchard and
Millsboro. Turn north at Mills
boro and come to Georgetown, turn
left to Georgetown and come to
Bridgeville, and thence up the du-
Pont Highway from Bridgeville to
Dover This trip covers about 100
miles and goes through the entire
apple producing section of the
State. A shorter strip covering
about 85 miles would be to go from
Dover to Bridgeville, Bridgeville to
Georgetown, turn north at George
town, and return to Dover via Mil
ford. This journey is also over
concrete roads and while not so
long as the first route it will enable
you to see thousands of acres of
commercial apple orchards in full
bloom. Of course, not all of the
apple orchards are located on the
concrete roads and should you be-
come tired of the smooth roads,
the country roads at the present
time are in good condition and
journeying over these roads you
will be able to enjoy many beauti-
full views. Delaware growers of
apples are proud of their orchards
as can be seen from the neatly
trimmed, well fed trees, and the
clean cultivation and general ap-
pearance of the orchards. These
growers extend an invitation to
their city cousins to visit and en-
joy the beautiful sight at this time.
