POTATOES BEST CROP FOR
GARRETTCOUNTYFARMERS
Peas And Sweet Corn Valuable
in Certain Areas, County Agent
Says In Annual Report
SHEEP PROGRAM PLANNED

Asserting that the growing of pota-
toes in Garrett county offered the best
cash crop for farmers, John H. Carter,
county agent, makes recommendations
in his annual report which was just
recently completed.
Mr., Carters report covered activ-
tiles throughout the year in dairy
ing, beef cattle, sheep, poultry, hogs,
soils and fertilizers, wheat, oats,
buckwheat, corn, hay and alfalfa, GER
eals, potatoes, maple products, peas,
home Identification, forestry, market
ing, engineering, etc. He visited over
600 farms assisting the farmers with
their problems, while more than 800
called at the office on matters per-
tanning to agriculture.
Mr.. Carter recommended the con-
tinuation of the following in the work
for 1885: potato improvement, better
cultivating practices, more spraying,
better storage, better selection OF
seed, grading and sacking for market,
soil improvement, herd improvement
of dairy cattle, more production OF
beef cattle and sheep to use the rough
land of the county more efficiently
and marketing of maple sugar and
syrup with the association formed IN
recent years for that purpose.
The county agent spent ninety days
in his work on the relief and the AAA
program, conducting the wheat and
corp-hog programs which resulted In
reductions with cash remuneration to
the farmers and supervised the pas
turing Of 1916 head of cattle which
brought approximately $4,000 to the
county.
A sheep program is being planned
for the county as soon as there is as
surance that the farmers sheep will
be protected from the ravages OF
dogs, the report states.
The report also had the following
to say in regard to potatoes:
POTATOES are the most important
cash crop in the county with the ex-
ception of few local areas where
sweet corn and peas are produced for
the Mount Airy Canning Company
The potato industry continues to grow
and more interest is manifested from
year to year on growing more and
better potatoes.
"Interest in certified seed produc-
ton is growing rapidly and in addi-
ton potato growers are realizing the
Importance of storage. Where in 1852
there was one storage house built ac-
cording to recommendations, this
year there were nine"
Three oranges, a farmers club at
Seloysport, the Grange Milling and
Supply Company, four vocational ag-
riculture departments, the Garrett
County Maple Products Association
and the Allegheny Tableland Assocla-
ton are cooperating with the Exten-
sion Department in promoting exten-
sion work and in helping the farmer

TRADE GROUPS GET.
M|N0RN. R. A. ROLE
Code Authorities to Assume
Leading Position in
Administration.
BY J. r. BRACKET,
Associated Press Business Writer


Trade associations, once considered
the central part of N. r. AS codif1-
cation work, are to play a much
smaller role in the future, giving way
to the authorities.
Trade associations are organizations
of business men. Their purposes
range from trade promotion work to
virtual industrial amalgamations. as
contrasted to code authorities which
are public agencies, in large part, for
code administration.
The trade association section of N.
r. A. has been given a secondary
place after having been until recently
a major division, and N. r. A. ex-
poets to work principally through code
authorities, although trade associa-
tions still will be employed for various
purposes.
A definite and comprehensive policy
on associations is not worked out, but
officials have indicated the trend by
defining them as organizations pri-
marily concerned with affairs purely
within an industry.
A code authority. on the other hand,
also has to consider the public inter-
est and it is under Government SUI
pervision, whereas a trade association
is not.
The ultimate future Of the associa-
ton, the historic form Of business or
ganization, is said by trade officials
to depend largely on the willingness
of an industry to contribute both to
a code authority and an association.

INDICATE
CANADIAN UPTURN
Increase of 24 Per Cent
From Year Ago Covers
Many Industrial Fields.
BY CHARLES LYNCH.

Special Dispatch to The Star
OTTAWA, Canada, April 21.-A
most striking indication of Canada s
economic recovery is the "a per cent
increase in carloadings in the first IA
weeks of 1884, a total of $4,000 cars
or 118,775 more than in 1898, and
comparing favorably with 618,274
cars in 1882, according to government
reports.
Lumber shipments in the same
comparative periods doubled; pulp
wood increased by SO per cent, pulp
and paper by So per cent, and other
forest products by IS per cent, mainly
because of increased markets for
lumber in Great Britain and i'm
proved conditions in the pulp and
paper and other wood-using industries
Movement of ores rose TO per cent
over last years period, coal 10 per
cent and coke IA per cent.
Miscellaneous freight increased by
Al per cent, from 89,842 cars to 1885,
98l cars, and merchandise in less
than carload lots by per cent from
165 889 cars to 181 $40 cars. That of
live stock increased by Is per cent
and of grain ard grain products from
SO 1888 cars to 70,258 cars.
Substantiating the value of carload
ings as an indicator of economic i'm
provement, latest monthly indices of
physical volume of business show that
manufacturing stood at 1872, as COM
pared with 58.7 year ago; mineral
production increased from 1881 to
1172; forestry products from 598 to

HUGE QUANTITIES
OF GOLD HANDLED
High Prices Bring Old Metal
From Hiding. but Racketeers
Take Advantage of Public.

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, April 21.-A year after
the United States went off the gold
standard, enormous quantities of the
precious metal, aside from imports, are
still being handled.
Gold coins have been withdrawn
from circulation. but this country is
still gold-minded. Old gold has caught
the public eye. The value of this old
gold, hidden mostly in American
homes, is estimated at S500,000,000.
The profit in handling old gold is
attracting widespread attention. With
gold officially priced at S35 an ounce.
racketeerS and opportunists are taking
full advantage of the situation.
"Peddlers, opportunists and takers
are a diScredit to any craft" remarked
G. H. Niemeyer, president of Handy
& Harman, bullion brokers. The
safest plan COR the public to follow is
to sell their old gold to recognized
jewelers., who know precious metals
and hold the confidence of the public. 4"

AT STEEL PLANTS
Operations Reach Highest Leve.
Since Last Summer-0ther
Metals Are Quiet.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 21.-Steel opera
tons have new reached the highest
estimated rate since last Summer,
stimulated by heavy contracting for
the second quarter prior to price
advances and increasing releases for
railroad materials. Mills are urging
prompt specifications against con-
tracts as the trade otherwise foreseeS
late pressure for deliveries when the
quarter draws to a close. Advanced
prices filed for pig iron are now
becoming effective following active
purchases.
Non-ferrous metals this week were
generally quiet and somewhat irregu-
lar. Quiet domestic consumer demand
for copper was attributed partly to
delay in signing the copper recovery
code which had been expected this
week. A decline in export prices
below domestic parity also made buy
ers cautious, but producers firmly
maintained the electrolytic quotation
at BE cents Connecticut Valley owing
to reports of increasing movement of
finished products and a feeling of
confidence said to be based on the
statistical position of the metal.
Although tin prices recovered par
TALLY from their recent easiness, quo
tation changes were largely nominal
Zinc declined 81 per ton as a result
of dullness of demand. Lead remained
steady. Antimonv was quiet but

CHAIN ACCOUNTING
CHANGES PICTURED.
Sanitary Co. Executive Tells
of Stores Operation as
Separate Units.

]. E. Henderson, assistant treasurer
Of the Sanitary Grocery Co., in an
address before Washington Chapter,
National Association Of Cost Account
ants, on Chain Store Accounting"
declared that in the early days every
effort was made to build up volume
and little or no thought was given
to the accountings systems employed.
No attempt was made to keep the eX-
penses or the profits of the individual
stores; they were looked upon merely
as retail outlets for the warehouse.
About 1925 radical changes in the
grocery chain store field began to take
place, the speaker said. Larger chains
began to buy up smaller chains. to
merge with others and to form organ
izations operating thousands of units.
With the advent of the larger chains
with their immense buying power,
competition became keener Store
rents advanced materially, as loca-
tons we're in demand and it became
readily apparent that the old system
had outllved its usefulness.
To meet these changing conditions
an accounting system was installed
which set up each store of the chain
as an independent operating unit and
provided for an operating statement
and balance sheet of each Each
store manager was made a partner in
the corporation by sharing with him
a percentage of the profits of his
store. Not only did the store man
ager increase his earnings, but his
feeling of responsibility increased,
which resulted in a more economical
