DRIVE FOR FUNDS
Welfare Association Plans An
Active Campaign

The Cecil County Welfare Asso-
citation, under the leadership of Mr..
Albert D. Mackey Chairman of Cam
paign, Miss Nellie j. Beardsell and
Miss Charlotte Wilcox of the Mary
land Children's Aid Society, has
launched its first concerted effort to
raise funds for the work of the or
ganization in Cecil county since its
organization three years ago. The
goal Of the campaign is 5000 and
the Welfare Association wishes to
include in its appeal for help

forces that make the Welfare Asso-
caiation> necessity.
During the past three years this
Association has been vital force in
Cecil county. In the last year alone,
the Director has made over 1900
visits, and has served 1853 families.
Children undernourished and inn,
properly cared for, have when inn
perative to remove them from their
broken homes, been placed in sup
ervised foster homes and given
proper attention. Families discour-
aged and undermined by poverty,
have been given assistance in again
getting foothold; fathers disposes-
sed of work by the general depres-
sion, have been placed in jobs; and
long neglected mental and institu-
tional cases have been dealt with
adequately.
All this service has been marked
by the economy and constructiveness
of organized social service. Each
case was analysed aud then handled |
so as to give, not only temporary
material aid but also actual assistance
in the building up of a better stand
lard of living.
The campaign will be aided throu-
ghout county by various associa-
tons, by churches and many individ-
uals. The Parent Teachers Associa-
tons of the numerous schools will
give definite service through their
monthly meetings, and on April 18th
the churches observed Social Ser
vice Day." The Rotary Club of
Elkton has pledged to solicit all bus
mess firms and organizations in Elk
ton and the nine electoral districts of
the county will be sponsored by
prominent men and women in each
District.
Every dollar given to the Associa-
tions..in its budget campaign viii be
put into active service in the county
as follows: 81 per cent for service
to family groups; 8 per cent for adj
ministration of the Association and s
per cent for perfecting and charging
the interest or the public through
organization and educational effort.
Thus, the dollar, which many in
dividuals might give without thought
to a needy person, will have MAXI
mum value and viii, at the same
time, if contributed to the Social
Service Association of Cecil county

The total expenditures of the Asso-
citation last year were S., 89l.58.
The report of the years work
shows that 1853 families were aided
during the year, and % children
cared for in foster homes.

IRRIGATION ENTERPRISES IN
STATE OF ARIZONA

According to q bulletin, recent.
ly issued by the Bureau of Cen
sus, showing State and county
statistics on irrigation in the
State of Arizona, the number of
farms on which irrigation is
practiced increased from {, 6,605 in
1920 to 8.523 in 1880. The value
of the irrigated farms, including
land, buildings. and implements
and machinery. was $157, ,290. 710.
The area irrigated 10 1929 was
SIS, $50 acres, an increase of 23 l
per cent from 467, ,565 acres in
1919, and was 5.5 per cent of the
total area of all farms in 1880
The / 1,27l operating enterprises
we're capable of supplying water
to 824, 152 acres. Nearly so per
cent of the area was irrigated BY
enterprises begun in the period
1905 1909 but more enterprises
we're begun between 1925 and '29
than in any other 5-year period.
The Rovernment-bnilt Salt
River and Yuma projects &C
counted for nearly half of the
irrigated area. The report also
shows the acreage irrigated by
individuals and partnerships, as

HE latest and perhaps the greatest OF
all the hobbies of Henry Ford Is now
being worked out in Macon Township,
| LenaWee County, Michigan, 40 miles
! from Dearborn.
Here one Of the worlds richest men,
king Of the most Stupendous industrial organ
ization in the world, is endeavoring TO prove 70
the farmers of the country that their methods
have been wrong and their markets inadequate.
Born and brought up on q farm in Dearborn
township this mechanical minded genius has
always cherished the notion that he could
produce crops by an easier method and for
more diverse purposes than have ever been
utilized.
Now he has acquired several thousand acres
of land in an ancient agricultural settlement
In the northeast corner Of Lenawee County,
and he has begun the work Of experimentation
that he thinks will revolutionize the business Of
raising crops.
Mr. Ford believes the solution of much OF
the present dilemma Of the farmer lies in the
matter of providing new uses Tor farm
products Too large share Of the farmers
output has been used for food and little or
none of it is used for industrial purposes.
For a long time he has talked about his
plans for creating new uses for farm crops, and
for some time he has conducted experiments
nm his farm at Dearborn. He thinks he might
he able to raise crops that will furnish the raw
material for automobiles and perhaps for a
multiplicity of other industrial products. He
has devoted much of his land, for instance, TO
raising cantaloupes-not for the market but to
make industrial alcohol for in his factories.
Runor has it also that he will raise golden
rod for rubber. In this field his associate and
friend, Thomas Edison, has conducted expert
nnents for many years. 1t is predicted that the
Macon farms will be used for the growing Of
koldenrod, but thus far there is no evidence
of it.
The truth Of the entire matter Is that Mr..
Ford thinks something should be done about
Sthis farm situation" He is merely cropping
around for some sort of a solution. He has the
money, the time and the inclination-and he is
using all three
It was last November that the farmers Of
That section were startled and aroused by the
activities of mysterious land buyer who gave
the name of Charles King. Mr.. King had
been there before two three years ago, and
had promised to come back soon and close a
lot of deals for the purchase Of farms. He
did not come back then, however, and it was
not until last November that he actually began
30 pay out money.
The price ranged from about 500 to $50 an
here and the man seemed to have his mind
made up in advance as to the price he would
pay AS soon as an agreement would be
reached he would make down payment,
sometimes $500 or $1,000 in cash.

One day MIR. Ford came upon a gang Of men

for few minutes and then stepped mp to .
young man who was handling a scythe.
Gould borrow that scythe for just Q
moment, please?" Mr.. Ford asked.
The young man handed 1t over very politely
and stepped back to see what would happen.
Mr. Ford took q few trial strokes, hitched his
shoulders in his characteristic manner, ran his
fingers along the edge Of the scythe-and then
started to work. He took long, even strokes,
rhythmical easy and effective.
He worked for 10 minutes more-then
handed the scythe to the farm hand-and
walked past the villagers to his luxurious auto
mobile.
They looked at each other for a moment and
then one of them slapped his thigh.
well, that don't beat the Dutch"
Mr. Ford seemed to enjoy the experience i'm
mensely. In fact, he seems to enjoy 1t all. He
often spends hours tramping about the place.
like any other farmer.
THIS is one of his many hobbies He tells
i his executives those with whom he comes
into close contact. that he is endeavoring to
discover some Of the hidden truths of agri-
culture.
He tells the farmers the same thing-when
he meets them on the road or in the village
store. He talks freely to them-tels them
what he hopes to accomplish, how he intends
to do it and what he thinks of tractors, corn
cures. maple syrup and the back 40 on the old
Conklin place.
Mr.. Ford thinks nothing at all Of jumping
into a ditch to show the workmen how to dig.
He often does it. Or else he will take an ak
away from a wood cutter and swing 1t for half
an hour more He never shows any sign Of
fatigue afterwards
Farming" said Mr.. Ford one day, Ought to
be run more like industry"
He was standing on the porch of the house
that furnishes headquarters for the Macon
Telephone Co.
"I was brought up on a farm and learned
too hard work for what was accomplished and
possible. But I was more interested in other
things, so I left the farm.
Now it seems to me that the farmer ought
two ought to use the same methods and ought
to help each other. They should work together
much better than they do"
n explained Mr.. Ford's activity is the ex-
tangible for the farmer. ---
mr.. Ford has always felt that the farm
could gain a great deal by maintaining q
closer relation with industry" it was said.
mot only will the farmer be able to sell his
leaf from the book of industry in the matter
