Governor Richie has called
the twenty-nine Marylanders
who will nominate candidates
for delegates to a State consti-
tutional convention to act on
the question of repeating the
Eighteenth Amendment to
meet at Annapolis on June FL.
Calling of the nominators
into session is the first step in
setting up the machinery under
which Maryland will designate
whether it favors retention or
repeal of the prohibition
amendment. The law which
provides for the convention be-
came effective June /.
The next step is the naming
of delegates on September IL
at special election. On Oc-
tober Is the delegates elected
will meet at Annapolis and cast
their ballots for or against re-
peal Of the amendment.
Each Legislative district in
Baltimore and each of the
twenty-three counties is repre-
sented by a nominator, Cecil
county being represented by
James F. Evans, Esq. After
the nominating committee has
organized it will select the can
didates for delegates by Con-
gressional districts - naming
nine candidates in each of the
six districts and eighteen at
large.
In each Congressional dis
trict there will be named three
candidates pledged to vote
against repeal, three pledged
to vote for it and three nom
pledged. In the same order,
six of the at-large candidates
will be wet, six dry and six un-
pledged.

COURTESY IS SAFETY

Doesn't it give you feeling
of safety to have the driver of
the car in front of you stick out
his arm and signal his inten-
ton to make a turn?" asks Stu
Hawley, Texaco National Road
Reporter. "And on the con-
trary isn't it aggravating to
have car come rushing by and
make a turn directly in front
of your"
There is no great physical
EFFORT required in giving sig
mails. The reason most of us
don't give them before we
make turns is that we are for
getful.
"The more thoughtful driv-
ers add another, the arm slant
ing downward, to indicate they
are about to stop; thus protect
ing their car from being ram
med by the car behind them.
The sooner motorists begin
to practice the two rules fol-
safe driving, which are: 'Cour-
tesy is safety-It's courteous te
give signals and Always be in
too big hurry to take chances
the sooner premiums Oh theil
insurance will be materially re.
duced because of the decrease
in the number of accidents"

COMMON ARMY WORM
Reported Destructive In Many
Counties In State

Poison bran mash, composed
of Paris Green, bran and mo-
lasses, is described by entomol-
ogists of the University of
Maryland as about the best
method for destroying the COM
mon army worm, which is re-
ported to be causing consider
able trouble this spring in a
number of Eastern Shore and
Southern Maryland counties.
According to reports, the
worms have been found prin-
cipally in wheat and hay fields
On the Eastern Shore, after
hay was taken off crimson
clover fields, the worms began
migrating and attacked pota-
toes, tomatoes, cucumbers and
sweet potatoes growing nearby.
The poison bran mash is
made by mixing two pounds of
Paris Green with fifty pounds
of bran. After this has been
we'll mixed it should be damp
ened with six gallons of water,
to which has been added one
gallon of molasses. The re-
suit should be a crumbly but
not sloppy mass. The bran
may then be spread over the
field, at the rate of ten pounds
to the acre, or placed around
the edges of a field that has al
ready been invaded and from
which the worms are migrating
to other crops. For smaller
amounts, use six pounds Of
bran, one-quarter pound of
Paris Green, one pint of mo-
lasses and three quarts of
water.
According to officials of the
University, the army worm
matches from an egg laid by a
fawn-colored m h. T h e
worms feed in groups and de-
stroy everything with which
they come in contact-hence
the name army worm. AS the
worms feed in the late after
noon and night the poison
mash should be spread on the
fields at about four o'clock in
the afternoon, one application
usually being sufficient.
Many worms have been de-
stroyed by blowing a furrow on
the side of the field in which
the worms are travelling, after
which the furrow is dragged
with a log, thereby crushing
the worms that fall into the
furrow. The side of the fur
row next to the crop to be pro-
tected should be smooth and
steep and post holes should be
dug at intervals in the furrow.

WHAT HAPPENS TO THE
WHEAT CROP

Three things happen to the
annual wheat crop of the Unit
ed States. From 600,000,000
to 700,000,000 bushels go into
domestic consumption. Since
1923 this consumption has in
creased less rapidly than the
population. The two other
channels into which the sup
ply goes are exports and carry
over. AS the exports decline,
the carry-over mounts. Rec
ords of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture show
that in the year ended June 80,
1928, we exported 100000
bushels and had a carry-over of
less than 10O,OOO,O0O bushels.
In the year ended June 80,
1882, we exported 112,000,000
bushels and had a carry-over
of 362,000,000 bushels-three
times the normal.
1t might be supposed that
these declining exports and
mounting carry-overs implied
slump in world wheat con-
sumption. AS a matter of fact,
the world consumption of
wheat grew steadily in the last
decade. In the 193O-31 season
the total apparent disappear
ance of wheat outside Russia
and China was 100000
bushels, as compared with only
5,200,000,000 bushels in 1921
%. World wheat consumption
in the depression year 1930-31
exceeded that of the preceding
year and about equaled that of
the highly prosperous season
1928-29. 1t was not falling
consumption that brought
about our mounting wheat
surplus. 1t was rising produc-
ton here and abroad.

TEN-TON TOMATO CONTEST

Maryland tomato growers
are again offered the opportun-
ity to compete for prizes in the
1888 Ten-Ton Tomato Contest,
the entry list for which closes
on July /. This contest, which
is sponsored by the Tri-State
Packers Association ard the
Extension Service of the Uni
versity of Maryland, offers an
nually three gold watches to
the members showing the three
highest yields for the year.
The contest was started in 1928
and has for it's purpose the pro-
ductiOn of a high yield of to-
matoes to the acre, with i'm
proved quality, lower produc-
zion costs and greater income.
The contest is open to all
Maryland farmers who grow
two or more acres of tomatoes
for canning purposes. Yields
are based on deliveries to can
neries from a measured acre
age. Anyone interested in en-
rolling in the contest or re-
ceiving further information
should get in touch with his
local county agent. Entries
are now being received for the
new contest.
Eleven members were admit
ted to the Ten-Ton Tomato
Contest last year and fully one
hundred more competed. First
place went to Russell P. Smith,
of Dorchester county. who
grew 1877 tons of tomatoes ON
FAT acres. Second honors
were awarded Charles Street,
of Talbot county, who raised
14.12 tons on 2.01 acres and
third place was won by Har-
vey E. SINNERS, of Cecil coun-
ty, with 1917 tons of tomatoes
from 3.65 acres. Each of the
three was awarded a gold
watch.

FARM BUREAU WINS VIC
TORY

Of interest to the tomato
growers and Gamers Of Cecil
county is the news received
from Miles III. Fairbank, Sec
retary-treasurer of the Mary
land Farm Bureau Federation,
that the Tariff Commission had
dismissed the order for an in
vestigatiOn of the tomato tariff,
looking towards a reduction in
the existing rates.
According to Mr.. Fairbank,
the existing rate on raw toma-
toes, coming principally from
Mexico and Cuba, is three cents
a pound on raw stock. Sever
al months ago the Tariff Com
mission was petitioned by con-
Germs interested in the trans
portation of imports to reduce
the rates and thus increase the
sale on eastern markets at low
er prices. 1t was pointed out
that this crop came on at a
time when Maryland tomatoes
were not moving and that
there should be no. objection
from the tomato growers OF
this and neighboring states.
The Farm Bureau took ex-
ception to this, however, claim
ing that the raw stock, coming
on the market at lower prices
was always in competition
with Maryland canned goods
and offered to show cost of pro-
duction figures showing that a
reduction of the rate was un-
fair.
The Tariff Commission
thereupon postponed fiLal ac-
ton until more data could be
assembled and following this
formally dismissed the case
last week, thereby retaining
the present rate of duty.

THE FLUSHING BAR SAVES
GROUND-NESTING BIRDS

Harvest time is here again,
when every farmer should be
interested in the saving of
ground-nesting birds which are
so very beneficial to his inter-
est in destroying obnoxious
weeds and insects thereby as
sisting him in growing crops.
The Flushing Bar used on
moving and binding machines
throughout the Central West
has been very beneficial to the
farmer and we urge that every
person using a moving or
binding machine adopt this
simple device this season,
thereby not only benefiting
the birds but benefiting them
selves as we'll.
We believe the majority of
farmers of our state dislike to
disturb nesting birds which
needlessly destroys their nests.
Intelligent farmers are becom-
ing more appreciative of the
saving in actual dollars and
cents by game, song and in
sectiyorous birds which are
necessary to their properties
for destroying insects and OBJ
noxious weed seeds. Every
bob-white and pheasant on a
farm will save at least a bushel
of grain during the season.
Thousands of ground-nest-
ing bird eggs are destroyed
during each moving season in
Maryland and by using the
Flushing Bars herein describ-
ed, thousands of eggs of
ground-nesting birds can be
saved with practically no ex-
pense or trouble to the farmer.
Description Of Flushing Bar
We recommend the use of a
bamboo pole (however, any
light pole can be used), fasten-
ed by rope or wire across the
neck yoke extending out just
beyond the end of the moving
blade on which lash guano
sacks, the mouth of the bag up
and place some old iron or
stones at the bottom of the bag
which should reach almost to
the ground and in cutting your
hay or grain, when the bird
Pushes (Which, when the bag
reaches them, they are very apt
to do,) raise the mower or
binder blade and leave a small
piece of grain or hay SO that
the bird will return to her nest
unmolested.
Another good plan is to fas-
ten some sleigh bells by rope to
the end of this pole in front of |
the mower or binder blade, al
lowing them to almost reach
the ground and when the birds
hear these bells, they will ma
turally fly from their nest.
Farmer friends, try this
method and I am sure you will |
be greatly benefited thereby.

TRIBUNE FRESH AIR FUND

Since early in April, Tor the
past two months, the Fresh
Air Funds field workers have
been covering the ground from
Maine to Virginia, Ii states,
meeting, consulting, reporting,
organizing, and helping.
There are 121 Friendly
Towns that have answered the
Funds call SO far, and new
towns are joining at the rate
of about ten a day! The
movement is spreading rapidly,
from Maine to Virginia!
There is no denying that
there is pressing need every
where. General conditions ac-
count for this. Thousands of
families have been added to the
unemployed group, families
with tens of thousands of
growing children. Those who
have been without income for
a long time have Jared no bet
ter this past year. If the young
ones were badly off a year, two
years ago, they are even in a
worse plight today, after sew
eral years of privation and
hardship.
True, we took care of 16, 515
children from such families in
such circumstances during the
summer of 1882. We found
that ninety per cent were child
rem from unemployed families,
without income for two years
or more. We found that fifty
two per cent of the families
from which these children
came were in arrears in their
rent from two to six months.
We found that many, many
hundreds of them had been de-
prived of light, and gas for
cooking for non-payment of
bills.
Countless numbers of homes,
our report showed, had been
stripped of furniture, and other
essential things, which had
been sold for a few pitiful and
inadequate pennies to the Sec
ond hand dealers for the cash
for food.
AS we listened to the social
and welfare workers tell us of
the conditions which they
knew at first hand, and as our
own workers reported to us the
situation in many other cases,
we knew that this year would
demand even greater opportun-
tiles for Fresh Air Vacations.
Two weeks, please! Two
weeks out of fifty-two, for
those little ones who will have
to face more squalor, hunger,
and deprivation in the months
ahead.
