UPWARD TREND IN DAIRYING
SHOWN IN CECIL COUNTY

A gain of 1870 in cows in Cecil
county, indicated an upward trend in
dairying, according to the 1885 Fed
eral Farm Census preliminary report
released by Director VIM L. Austin,
Bureau of Census, Dept. of Com
merce.
Cecil county had 1851 cows on
Jan. /, 1885, an increase of 1880
over the number on April /, 1880.
This gain was accompanied by little,
of any, increase in feed crops.
Corn, oats, hay were harvested
from slightly smaller acreages in
1884 than five years earlier. A ten
fold increase in barley production
was the most significant change in
crops during the last five years. A
reduction of about one-1fth was
made in wheat acreage between 1929
and 1894. A gain of over 200 acres
in Irish potatoes was accompanied by
over a 10000 bushel increase in pro-
duction.
A decrease in agricultural opera
lions in Cecil county is indicated by a
loss of go in number of farms and
10 in land acreage in farms since
1880 The extent of the decline in
farm values is denoted by the drop
in the average value of land and
buildings per acre from $75.73 in
1880, to S56.46 in 1885.

The Detroit Free Press, how
ever, said today that it had
learned from a reliable source
of letter informing an investi-
gator Of the Senate Munitions
Committee Of the company's
action. The letter was signed by
a sales executive Of the Ford
company.
The letter. the Free Press said,
asserted that the company had
exported 2,056 one-and-a- half
ton trucks to Italian possessions
in Africa before hostilities began,
but would not resume exports to
that quarter of the globe until
peace is restored.
The action Of the Ford company
banning exports to the war area
is entirely voluntary. it was
pointed out here today. The
Presidents proclamation Of Oc-
tober S. placing an embargo on
shipments of arms and num-
tions. does not apply to motor
trucks unless they are armored
and intended for use in actual
combat.
The Ford announcement did
not make it clear whether the
company also would refuse to sell
equipment to the Italian govern
ment which could be delivered in
Italy and reshipped to Eritrea.

the 17th British Camel Corps guard
ing the Somaliland frontier suffered
casualties during an Italian advance
in the Ogaden Desert.

Somaliland close to the noint where
Italian Somaliland joins with the
British territory. Italian forces have
been reported penetrating northwest
ward, close to the British SomGliland
border, in a drive directed at the
Adds Ababa -Djibouti Railroad)
Details Are Lacking.
Details of the alleged incident were
lacking, but authorities said they be-
lieved that if such thing were true
1t would have been due either to the
Italians unintentionally running over
the boundary of their territory or to
the British Camel Corps for
Ethiopian forces trying to get around
their tank.
The Italian push. under the COM
mand of Gen. Rudolfo Graziani, is be-
ing covered by tanks and airplanes
and has been conducted close to the
frontier in order to gain control Of
the oases used Jointly by the native
tribes roaming both sides of the from
tier.
The border has never been defined
continuously through the sandy shrub
and, consequently, the camel corps
have been posted to prevent the en-
trance of refugees from the Italo-
Ethiopian war zone.
Rains Hold Up Advance.
The tribesmen who reported the
alleged clash also stated that the
Italian advance had been held up in
Ogaden because of renewed rains,
