MARYLAND CROPS DE.
CLINE

Dry, unfavorable weather
during July caused Maryland
crops to decline seriously in
condition, according to Rich
ard c. Ross, agricultural sta
tistician for the Maryland Crop
Reporting Service. Indicated
1882 production of corn is
about the same as on July l,
but production forecasts of all
other crops were lower than a
month ago.
The wheat crop, in particu-
lar, has disappointed producers
this season. The crop has not
looked promising at any time
since it started to mature and
early threshing returns show
ed the grain to be light in
weight this year. AS a result,
production is now estimated at
100000 bushels, the smallest
crop grown in the State since
1872. The average yield per
acre of 1870 bushels is the low
est recorded since 1885.
Fruit crops suffered greatly
during July. The apple crop,
now forecast at 1,444,0O bush
els, declined about 20 per cent
during the month and peaches.
more than 10 per cent.
The August report of the
Crop Reporting Board shows a
widespread decline in crop
prospects during July. The
figures for nearly all the more
important crops are lower than
on July 1. The most import
ant change was in corn, for
which the estimate has been
reduced from 1896, 900, 900
bushels to 2,S2O,000,OOO, a de-
crease of 6 per cent. The esti-
mates for wheat, barley, rye,
potatoes, and tobacco have
been reduced from 3 to per
cent, hay by per cent and
fiaxseed by Ii per cent.
Crop yields per acre are now
expected to average 6.5 per
cent below those of last season
and 4.6 per cent below the
average during the ten years
1919-1928. Rice and sugar
cane are the only field crops
showing prospects for yields
materially above the. usual
average,

PARTIES SEEKING CAM
PAIGN FUNDS

Republican and Democratic
chieftains have turned to the
task of raising funds for the
presidential campaign. A linn
it of $1,500,000 has been pre-
scribed by each party. This is
far less than the amount spent
during 1928 to elect President
Hoover and less than one
quarter of the amount expend-
ed by the Democrats for the
unsuccessful candidacy of Mr..
Alfred E. Smith.
Under tentative plans, said
to have been approved by Pres
ident Hoover, state commit
tees will be left to shift for
themselves. The senatorial
and congressional committees
will be asked to raise and dis
tribute their own funds. In
1928 more than 100000 was
sent to the states, and $150,000
turned over to the senatorial
committees. Official motto e
has gone forth that money will
be sparingly used. Salaries
for paid employees have been
cut. Volunteer work will be
done.

VICE PRESIDENT CURTIS
TAKES DRY STAND

Vice-President Curtis has
thrown a monkeywrench into
the G. o. P. political campaign
works by taking a dry stand.
In his speech of acceptance,
delivered in Topeka, Kansas,
on Thursday, he gave the Ad-
ministration a shock.
The week previous President
Hoover stepped beyond his
party platform and advocated
repeal of the Eighteenth
Amendment and the substitu-
ton of another which would
return the liquor question to
the States but prohibiting the
return of the saloon.
On Thursday Mr.. Curtis de-
clared that he is opposed to re-
peal of the amendment and
said not a word about the sub
stitute which the head of the
ticket urges upon the country.
The feeling is general in
Washington that this omission
was no oversight and that Mr..
Curtis wishes it understood
that he adheres to the dry
views he has held throughout
most of his political life

STATE ROADS COMMISSION
FIXES WAGE SCALE

The State Roads Commits
sion of Maryland, after an in
vestigation into the wages be-
ing paid by contractors for
road construction in this State,
has put into effect a minimum
wage scale for both skilled and
unskilled labor and at the
same time announced a maxi
mum VIC king day. of ten hours
en- all OF its projects.
By it's action the commission
divided the State into two
wage areas. In the first area,
in Guiding roughly the Eastern
Shore counties and those on
the Western Shore south of
Annapolis, the minimum rate
for unskilled labor was set at
rs cents an hour. Elsewhere
in the State it will be 35 cents
an hour.
The commission added Is
per cent to the unskilled labor
rate for truck and tractor driv-
ers and teamsters, and SO per
cent to the same labor base for
skilled workers such as shovel
and crane operators, black
smiths, carpenters, steel erect
ers and cement finishers.
All contracts in the future
will carry the minimum wage
stipulations and the commits
sion reserves the right to ter
inmate any contract where
there is a violation of the
agreement. The commission
may check contractors pay
rolls at any time.

MARYLAND FARM LAND
VALUES ABOVE PRE-
WAR LEVEL
Many States Show Decline Of
10 To so Per Cent


10 To so Per Cent
Maryland farm lands, in line
with those of other States,
have continued to decrease
during the past year, although
they are still in excess of the
valuation placed upon them in
the pre-war period of 1912 to
1914, according to Richard c.
Ross, agricultural statistician
for the Maryland Crop Report
ing Service. The value of all
lands with improvements in
this State March /, 1882, based
on the pre-war level, is esti-
mated to be about IA per cent
under the value reported last
year and II per cent below the
value reported for the years
1929 and 1880. On the other
hand, it is still 6 per cent above
the valuation of 1912-1914.
Values in other nearby
States have also declined, ac-
cording to Mr.. Ross, and in
many cases the decrease is
even greater than in Maryland.
For the United States as a
whole the decrease in value of
farm lands is much greater
than in this State, especially
in those States to the South of
Maryland.
Using the average value of
the period 1912-1914 as a basis
for computation it is stated
that values climbed rapidly in
Maryland, as we'll as the rest
of the country, beginning in
1913 and continued until 1921,
when the present downward
trend began. During the up
ward climb Maryland lands in
creased at a greater rate than
did those for the entire country
while during the deflation val
ues have remained generally
higher in this State than for
the rest of the United State.
Even with the steady decline
in farm land values during the
past twelve years, values in
this State have remained above
the pre-war level while those
of 33 of the 48 states are below
the pre-war level.
Of these 33 States having
farm land values less than the
pre-war level, Is range from 1
to 10 per cent below, 5 from II
to 20 per cent below, 6 from 81
to 80 per cent below, 5 from 81
to 40 per cent below and 1 from
Al to SO per cent below. States
with values remaining above
the level of 1912-1914 are the
New England group, New Jer-
sey, Maryland, five southern
States, Arizona, California.

YOUTHFUL WANDERERS

Thousands OF boys are roam
ing the country looking for
jobs which they cannot find
and trying unsuccessfully to
"be on their own" thus form
ing a rowing army burdening
many communities, said DR.. A.
w. McMillen, associate profess
sor in the graduate school of
social service administration
at the University of Chicago
DR.. Mcmillan was sent out
by the children's bureau as a
personal investigator to get
first-hand information about
these boy wanderers.
He found them to be boys
from substantial American
families hitch-hiking and rid
ing freights, cooking their
crude meals in the "jungles"
about railroad yards, sleeping
on Jail floors, but in almost
every case constantly being
urged to ''move on" because
the towns were hardly able to
take care of their own unem-
ployed.
"Our main objective now"
said DR.. McMillen, els to stop
the boys where they are and to
forestall a new crop of vag-
rants starting off this fall for a
futile and hazardous journey.
Urged by the Children's Bur-
eau, the Presidents Organiza-
ton for Unemployment Relief
has sent out letters to all high
school principals in commune
ties of more than 10000 popu-
lation to encourage keeping
the boys in school or bringing
them back to school.

ences of the boys and possible

lem of transients which tran

Ito prevent these boys from
leaving home there must be
something done to make life
more interesting where they
are. This would mean enlarg-

class hours, making trade
courses available since these
make a great appeal to boys,

the school equipment for rec

A decline of 27.3 per cent in
the contents of the weekly pay
envelope in manufacturing in
dustry in the three years end
ing June, 1882 is reported by
the National Industrial Confer
ence Board in a survey made
public.
This percentage means that
the real weekly earnings have
declined to that extent" the
report of the survey SAYS.
That the decline was not
much larger is due to the de-
crease in the cost of living of
wage earners, which, while it
has not kept pace with the
drop in earnings, has in the
three years amounted to 1928
per cent"

SCHOOL CHILDREN MUST
BE VACCINATED

enter school this fall, are re-
minded by DR.. r. HI. Riley, Di-
rector of the State Department
of Health, of the Maryland law
which requires all children to
be vaccinated against smallpox
before they can be accepted in
any school in the State.
"The family physician is ex-
pected to vaccinate every baby
and young child under his
care" DR.. Riley said, land the
parents should see that it is
done. The earlier it is attend
ed to, the better it is for the
child.
Until a child enters school,"
DR.. Riley continued, ''the re-
sponsibility for having him or
her protected against small
pox, rests with the parents.
After that it is shared with the
teachers. In accordance with
the Maryland Vaccination Law,
any teacher who permits the
enrolment of an unvaccinated
child, or children, is liable to a
fine of ten dollars for each and
every offense.
Smallpox is comparatively
rare in Maryland, but unvacci-
mated people in Maryland are
just as susceptible to the dis
ease and just as likely to get
it, if exposed to it, as unvacci-
mated persons are in other
communities. We owe our
comparative freedom from the
disease to the willing, intelli-
gent, cooperation of parents,
doctors and teachers with
State, county and city depart
ments of health in carrying
out the provisions of the Mary
land Vaccination Law, in see
ing that children are vaccinat-
ed either in infancy or before
they reach school age.
sometimes it is necessary
for us to notice what is hap
pening in other parts of the
country in order that we may
realize what would occur in
Maryland if our people were
not protected against small
pox. The disease is much
more common than most peo-
pie realize. 1t is prevalent at
all times and in all parts of the
world. A recent report from
the U. S. Public Health Service
shows that 4S2 cases were re-
ported in the United States,
alone, during the four weeks
ending on July Is and that
many more cases were report
ed from other parts of the
world. Thirty-two states were
represented in these 1872 cases.
l am glad to be able to say that
Maryland was not among
them. We have had only one
case of smallpox in the State
| ntwo years, and only 40 in
five years. in 1927; % in
1928; 8 in 1929, none in 1880;
one in 1881 and none since

BILE as our record shows. "In

that 1,766,000 persons moved
from cities to farms and 1,727,-
600 persons moved from farms
