FARM REAL ESTATE VAL
UES DECLINE

The index of the value per
acre of farm real estate for the
United States as a whole as of
March l, 1888 averaged 73,
compared with an index of 80
on March 1, 1882 and of LOG on
March 1, 1881, according to es-
Inmates by the Bureau of Agri-
cultural Economics. This in
dex is based on average values
for the years 1912 to 1874.
The declines from a year ago
have been widespread, and over
la considerable part of the
country they have been reason
ably uniform, rejecting the
continued declines in farm in
come. From 1929 to 1882
gross income from farm pro-
duction decreased a little more
than half. During the same
period farm real estate values
dropped a little more than one
third.
Of the various geographic di-
visions, the East North Central
at 62 and West North Central
states at GA were lowest val
ues relative to pre-war. For
individual States the indexes
ranged from So for Indiana to
80 for Michigan and Wiscon-
sin; and from 55 for Missouri
and South Dakota to 70 for
Minnesota.
The highest average values
relative to pre-war were in the
New England States, where the
index for the group as whole
was 105, Indexes for individ-
ual States in that region rang
ed from 80 for New Hampshire
20 124 for Connecticut.
In the three Southern Geo
graphic Divisions, the indexes
for individual States ranged
from 81 for Georgia and South
Carolina to 121 for Florida;
from 70 in Mississippi to SO in
Alabama; and from 76 in Okla
homa to SO in Louisiana.
Indexes for other geographic
divisions as of March 1, 1888
were as follows: Middle At
lantic 50; South Atlantic 80;
East South Central 70; West
South Central 80; Mountain
SO; and Pacific States SO.

BONUS ARMY TURNS INTO
FOREST WORKERS

The 1888 bonus army has
found the prospect of work
with food, clothing and shelter
far more attractive than fur
Their agitation for a lost cause
with an empty larder. Almost
to man they have abandoned
their intractable leaders and
are seeking admission to Pres
ident's Roosevelt's reforesta-
ton army.
The revolt against leaders
who spurned the reforestation
work offer and intended to car
ry on their bonus marching in
definitely got under way when
scarcely 700 of the more than
5000 at Fort Hunt marched in
a Struggling parade. 1t was a
day of disappointments for the
marchers. At the White
House the President told them
he would veto a bonus bill if
one were sent to him.
The capitulation OF the army
is complete. Fort Hunt has
ceased to be a free tourist camp
for bonus-seeking veterans and
become serious training camp
for forest army recruits. Those
who have failed to enlist will
be turned out to shift for them
selves.
Three hot meals a day and
the security of organized army
living with a $50 a month
wage was too substantial an
argument for most of the hun
ger marchers.

EIGHTEEN FOREST FIRES
IN CECIL

Eighteen forest fires we're
reported in Cecil county during
the past spring according to a
report issued by the State De-
partment of Forestry. AL
though more fires occurred in
Cecil than in any other Eastern
Shore county, the season gen
orally is regarded as one of the
least severe in many years.
Thirty-nine fires occurred in
the county during the similar
January-May 20 period last
year.
Frequent rains at timely in
tervals and increased fire pre-
vention activity on the part of
local forest wardens were cited
as chief reasons for the rela-
lively few fires this year.
The eighteen reported fires
burned 253 acres of woodland.
Property damage was estimat-
ed at $685.. Cost of suppress
sion to the State and County
was $145.8O.
Causes of the blazes were
given as smoking 6; incen-
diary 5; railroads 5; brush
burning 2.
Thorough investigation of
the incendiary fires failed to
uncover sufficient evidence to
justify prosecution, according
to the report. Four of these
fires occurred near Black Hill
in Elk Neck on April Is and 26.
Revenge against one of the
landowners was apparently the
motive.
The season over the Eastern
Shore generally was the least
severe in many years. Sixty
nine fires have been reported
to date in the nine Shore Coun-
ties compared with 126 during
the similar period last year.
Although commencing the
work of the county forest ward
ems the report expressed con-
Germ over the lack of coopera-
ton on the part of Cecil county
landowners themselves in try
ing to prevent fires.

The Glass banking bill, de-
signed to prevent a recurrence
of such a financial emergency
as rocked the country on March
4, precipitating the bank holi-
day, was passed Thursday by
the Senate after less than four
hours for debate.
Revised considerably from
the form in which it held the
Senate in prolonged dispute
and filibuster last session, the
bill was passed without the
formality of a record vote.
1t carries provisions for both
emergency and permanent in
surance of bank deposits and
calls for the severance of bank
ing and investment businesses.
Like the bill of the last session,
it bore the name of Senator
Carter Glass (Dem., Va.,) who
led the long fight for the legis-
lation.

BEER HAS NO FOOD VALUE

Hon. John A. McSparran,
Secretary of Agriculture of the
State of Pennsylvania, speak
ing on behalf of prohibition in
Delaware Wednesday night, as
serted the farmer would def
nitely be at a loss if repeal car
ried.
"The farmer has been laugh
ed at because he is said to have
bartered his welfare for the
market for rye, barley and
corn" he said. Repeal would
destroy the market for not only
food but raw materials which
would be worked into clothes,
shoes and other finished pro-
ducts.
eff the Eighteenth Amend
ment is lost it will be the fault
of the church people. 1t has
been the most startling success
ever put into law" said Mr.. Nc
Spartan, speaking from the
viewpoint of the farmer.
w h e n prohibition was
adopted there were eight mil
lion automobiles in America,
largely the property of the
rich; now we have 26 million
automobiles, largely the prop
erty of the poor. This indi-
Gates that people are spending
money for better things than
BOOZE"
He pointed to the fact that it
had taken 78 years to mass fifty
billion dollars of life insurance,
but only six and a half years to
double this amount under pro-
hibition.
"The question has been rails
ed concerning the food value of
beer. A simple analysis of the
old five per cent beer showed
that it contained ninety-two
per cent water, FIVE per cent

MOTORISTS TO OBSERVE
COURTESY WEEK

Encouraged by the success
of Courtesy Week" which he
inaugurated in 1882, Col. E.
Austin Baughman, Commits
sioner of Motor Vehicles, an
nounced yesterday that he will
conduct the campaign again
this year from July LIST to 7th.
The week which includes the
Fourth was again chosen, Col
onel Baughman said, because
at that time the accident haz-
ard is greatly increased.
"The character of the cam
paign will be the same" the
Commissioner said. There
will be no inspections, no re-
strictions, and no require
ments. The motor vehicle OPP
orators will again be urged to
take out on the highways that
asset on which a man prides
himself in connection with his
conduct in his own home.
Last year, there was a graf
flying response on the part of
Maryland motorists. Of the
cars responsible for the six
fatal accidents last Fourth,
four were registered out of
State.
"This year, I am appealing
not only to Marylanders but
also to visitors from other
states to show their fellow mo-
florists the same courteous con-
sideration on the highway as
they would in the home.
"a sane Fourth of July now
really means a Fourth without
injury and death caused by mo-
tor vehicles. If the man or
woman at the wheel will act
with a decent regard for the
rights of others there will be
no regret. The slogan of the
campaign will be: Keep your
conscience clear"

mittee brought in an amend
ment limiting use of that pro-
vision to within a single year.
Before 1882, financiers and
others whose capital turnover
was great could carry over los
ses for two years in addition to
the year in which they were
incurred. Thus they could
spread any speculative losses
over three years, even if in two
of the years, they made sub
stantial profit, and by this
means evade income tax pay
ment in any year.
The amendment will be in
serted in the industrial recov-
cry BILL now under considera-
ton.

THE NEW FARM ADJUST
MENT ACT
Methods For Applying New
Measure Being Determined

Conferences of producers
and handlers of basic farm
commodities are now being
held by the Secretary of Agri-
culture to determine which of
the several methods provided
in the new Farm Act will be
put into effect in the immediate
future. The Act empowers the
Secretary to adopt any one or
all of a number of specified
methods of dealing with the
causes of the present low pur-
chasing power of farmers.
Just what the benefits to
Maryland farmers may be can
not be determined until the pol
icies of those charged with adj
ministering the Act are an
nounced. Products grown in
this State which are subject to
it's provisions are wheat, field
corn, hogs, tobacco and dairy
products.
The goal of the new farm Act
is to restore the buying power
of the bushel of wheat, the
bushel of corn, the pound of
pork and other basic farm COM
modities to what it was during
the base period. This period
for all commodities except to-
bacco is from 1909 to 1914.
For tobacco, the base period is
the postwar years, 1919 to
1929. 1t is emphasized that
this goal cannot be reached
overnight and that each basic
commodity presents a set OF
problems of it's own. That is
the reason that conferences OF
all interested parties are being
held before definite steps are
taken toward putting the new
law into effect.
It has been announced that
State, county and local COM
mittees will be formed in each
State and that the Extension
Service will have an important
part in carrying out the poll
cies made possible by this leg
lislation. The county agent in
each county will be informed
of developments as rapidly as
they take place and he will
serve as a source of informa-
ton to the people of his county,
Although there are three Sec
lions to the Act as it was pas
sed, only one section is admin
istered by the Secretary of
Agriculture. The section which
pertains to adjustment Of pro-
duction to consumption is ad-
ministered by him. The sec
ton which has to do with farm
financing is administered by
the newly created Farm Credits
Administration, of which Hen
| ry Morganthau, Jr., is Govern
or. The third section is the
so-called currency initiation
section.

Deliberate education

Deliberate education for
