R. F. c. TO ACT SOON ON
STATES DLE-AID LOANS
Officials Indicate Decision VIII
Be Made in Few Days; County
Request Approved
GARRETT ASKS FOR AID

Speedy action on the Maryland
application for unemployment relief
funds for needy counties and munich
palities in the State was promised by
officials of the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation to Walter N. Kirkman,
secretary of the Advisory Unemploy-
ment Relief Commission of Maryland.
Mr.. Kirkman consulted with Off
Gals of the R. F. C. concerning the
applications of counties and cities in
Maryland for short term loans to be
used to relieve unemployment in the
various political subdivisions. He re-
ported that the application of the
several counties had been approved
and officials of the R. F. C. emergency
department had indicated that a de-
cision would be Forthcoming within
the next two or three days..
Nine Applications Made
To date eight counties and one city
have made application for relief
funds, and their petitions were for
warded to the R. F. c., after being
approved by the Governor.
The counties asking relief are Allie
gany, Anne Arundel, Cecil, Dorches-
ter, Frederick, Garrett, Montgomery,
and Washington. Cumberland, which
was not included in the Allegany
county application, also has asked for
relief. Garrett county has requested
$4,000 per month for a period of
three months and $500 for admins
trative purposes.
The original request from the
state was for loans over period of
three months, but under R. F. C. re-
quirements that period has been
shortened to two months. Last month
the Governor announced that he
would make application for relief
funds for those political units of the
State which gave evidence of acute
distress.
A survey conducted previously by
Miss Anita J. Faatz, executive secre-
tary of the Board of State Aid and
Charities, had revealed that about
10000 county families were in need Of
aid. Later the Advisory Unemploy-
ment Relief Commission reported
that the banking crisis had caused
conditions to become acute in several
of the counties.

LEGISLATURE is PRAISED
FOR WORK ON TAX RELIEF
School and Road Levies Materi-
ally Reduced State Tax Lowered

Holding that the accomplishments
of the 1888 General Assembly in the
field of tax relief unduly had been
overshadowed by beer and banking
legislation, Governor Richie issued
a statement in praise of the Legis-
lature's record.
81 know of no Legislature which
has had to its credit anything of
more vital, practical, present import
ance than the program which the
Legislature of 1888 adopted for the
relief of the people of this whole
State in a way and to an extent which
challenges comparison with any other
State in the land" he said.
The Legislature accomplished a
balanced State budget, q lower State
tax rate and local tax relief for
Baltimore city and the counties.
Relief given by the State to resi-
dents of the counties includes:
Reduction of three cents in their
State taxes.
Diversion of the counties share OF
the 11scent gasoline tax to the reduc-
ton of county road levies and debt
service, which will relieve some OF the
counties of these levies altogether,
and the remainder very materially.
What each county will actually save
from this relief depends, of course, on
what it levies. These tax reductions
run from approximately Is cents to
25 and 30 cents and upwards per
county.
Application Of the counties $780,
600 of the aforesaid $3,000,0O0 fund
to the reduction of county levies for
school purposes. This, together with
salary reductions, will cut school
levies in the thirteen counties which
will share in the equalization fund
from 81 cents to Al cents, or 20 cents,
and will reduce these levies in the ten
decentralization counties in amounts
varying from II cents up to 20 cents

PEAS AS new CASH CROP
SEEN FOR FARMERS HERE
Experiment to be Conducted
This Summer by Extension De-
partment-Seed is Donated
MEETINGS ARE HELD HERE

Believing that Garrett county's
climate is suitable to the growing of
peas throughout the entire summer,
and in an attempt to bring new
cash crop to the farmers Of this Sec
ton, the extension service of the Uni
versity of Maryland in cooperation
with the State department of Markets
and other agricultural organizations,
is planning to conduct an experiment
here, according to C. E. Temple, pro-
fessor Of plant pathology, and w. R.
Ballard, extension horticulturist, who
were in Garrett county Monday, Tues
day and Wednesday of this week.
Contact meetings were held at
Oakland and Accident where farmers
were told of the project, its possible
accomplishments, and what was ne
cessary for them to do if they cared
to participate in the experiment.
The Extension department feels
that peas for Baltimore, Washington
and Pittsburgh markets could be
grown here to advantage during the
months when it was impossible to
grow them in the other counties OF
the state, and when it was necessary
to have them shipped from Michigan,
New York, and Colorado.
Bring Good Prices
A chart for the past few years
showed the minimum price for peas
during the summer months to be $1.45
per bushel with the maximum $2.15,
and it is thought that farmers in this
county who will grow peas for market
can eventually show substantial
profit from their labors. The variety
to be grown would bear around July
Is until frost.
The farmer who accepts the expert
ment must have good soil, plenty OF
available labor when the time comes
to pick the crop, and he must keep
records of his production costs and
output. At least 80 farmers asked to
participate, and each one will plant
between one-fourth to one acre in
peas, from seed donated by a seed
company to the Extension department
for the purpose of carrying on the
project.
Aim to Establish Market
The ultimate aim is to establish
market industry here that will furnish
the farmers with new cash crop, and
supply an outlet for surplus labor
Extension officials expect to cooperate
with the farmers and assist in the
marketing of the crop for two Oh
three years. It is hoped by that time
a cooperative organization will be
formed and a definite market estab-
lished in the three cities-Baltimore,
Pittsburgh, and Washington.
