Morgan H. Watkins of Damascus,

ceed Archie w. Souder, deceased,
took the oath of office before Clay

Under the appointment he will
serve until the Fall of 1884, when an

make two appointments within a few

money accruing from 30c per bushel
charged against the millers will be
paid to those who follow the govern
ment's program; and the more the
government is forced to call upon
them to reduce acreage, naturally, the
higher will be the compensation paid.
"Any far-thinking individual can
Immediately see the wisdom in such a
control plan. It will be nothing but
financial suicide for farmers to con-
tinue the old policy of producing
more than can be consumed. Prices
over the past two years should have
very definitely established the result
OF such an antiquated system. It is
believed, therefore, that practically all
Montgomry County farmers will join
in this program, knowing 1t to be the
salvation of their business as also to
receive guarantee of price equality
commensurate with the lower total
production"

worked out for the county in co-opera-

der these plans each privy is made
sanitary by the use of disposal pits
to be covered by cement slabs.
| A large delegation representing the
Rockville Colored High School urged

program provision for the enlarge
ment of the Rockville Colored High
School by adding additional rooms.

Plans For Federal Wheat Allotment
In Montgomery County Taking Shape
Program Will Not Effect This Years Crop County
Agent .. W. Anderson Points Out-Advises Farmers
To Support Production Decrease

In statement issued from his Of
flee in Rockville this week, County
Agent o. w. Anderson advises Mont
gomery County farmers to support to
the limit President Roosevelt's wheat
allotment plan affecting the crops of
the next three years. Mr.. Anderson
made the following comments on the
Federal program:
"Plans are rapidly being perfected
whereby President Roosevelt's admin
istration's Wheat Allotment Plan
will be put into effect in Montgom-
cry County.
"This program will in no way affect
the disposition of this years crop. A
farmer may feed it or sell it at any
time as he pleases; however, to quail
ify for the adjustment compensation,
a farmer must submit to the cam
paign manager the number of acres
harvested, as also the number of BUSH
els made in each of three years: 1880,
1881 and 1882. From this amount
each farmer will receive an allotment
upon which he will be paid 30c (thir-
ty cents) per bushel in the fall of
1888, 1884 and 1885. In other words,
the allotment granted each producer
will remain approximately the same
over the entire period. The farmer
will sign a contract with the govern
ment to reduce his acreage not to ex-
coed 20 per cent.
"There is nothing compulsory about
this legislation. A farmer is free to
produce and sell all the wheat he
chooses at the open market price, but
unless he signs a contract and re-
duces his acreage, he will not receive
the 80 cents per bushel compensation.
1t is evident, therefore, that if some
do not sign contracts with the gov
ernment, but on the other hand, in
crease their acreage, the amount of
