If we allow our attention to center
on the impurities thus brought to the

God as recorded In Isaiah, 81 make

to giving up it's cherished theories

CORN.HoG CONTRACT sIGNERs
PERMITTED HOGS FOR
HOME USE

Small producers with no hog pro-
duction base, or with lower than
average production from one litter
during the base period, will be per-
mitted to produce an adequate num-
Der of hogs for home use, it is an
nounced by the AAA, according to
County Agent Miller
Producers who agree under the
1895 corn-hog contract to hold their
corn acreage within the contract
limits, but do not have a hog produc-
ton base will be permitted to pro-
duce one 1895 litter of pigs for home
consumption. No hog payment, how
ever, will be made to the producer
taking advantage of this ruling.
1t has also been ruled that 1885
contract signers who have an aver
age production record of six hogs or
less for both market and slaughter
during the 1928 period and who
are receiving no hog payment under
their contracts may be permitted to
slaughter for home consumption all
pigs produced in 1895 in excess Of
the producers market hog base, pro-
vided that only one litter is farrow-
ed on the farming unit under con-
tract. The number of pigs that may
be produced for market under the
contract is not changed by this
ruling.
The 1885 contract does not re-
quire producer with a market hog
production average of 15 hogs or
less for the base period 10 make any
adjustment in 1895 borrowings, but
until the new ruling was made, many
small producers could not keep more
1895 pigs than the average number
produced during the base period
For example, producer who had a
market hog base of only two hogs
and a home slaughter base of three
hogs could produce a total of no
more than five hogs In 1895 Under
the new ruling, this grower may not
produce more than two hogs for
market, but he may use for home
consumption all the remaining pigs
narrowed in one litter in 1895.

AMERICAN LEGION TO FIGHT
ACCIDENTS

The highway safety problem took
a long step toward solution lately
with the announcement that the
American Legion is to carry on an
aggressive, organized program in the
interest of automobile accident pre-
vention. The program is detailed in
booklet jointly published by the
Legion and the National Bureau of
Casualty and Surety Underwriters.
Under the suggested plan, the
safety program will be handled by
The Legion's Americanism Commits
sion Working under it will be
State Traffic Committees, composed
of Representatives from each district.
These committees in each state will
maintain contact with the State
Superintendent: of Public Instruction,
the State Motor Vehicle Commission
er, the State Highway Patrol and the
Legislature.
Next there will be district safety
committees, composed of represent
alive of each local post in the county.
The representative of each local post
will work with local police, schools,
city councils and engineering depart
ments. All of the committees will
cooperate with automobile clubs, in
surance companies, newspapers,
safety associations and similar or
CARNATIONS.
Workers in the cause OF safety be-
lieve that the Legion can be of ire
mendous aid in reducing the inexcus-
able accident toll--a' toll which
reached $4,000 people killed ON
streets and highways last year. The
Legion is to be complimented on ac-
cepting this arduous duty-and the
result will be happier and safer liv-
ing for the people of the country.

PROFITS FROM TOMATO CROP
DEPEND ON HIGH ACRE
YIELDS

Production of high yields per acre
is the simplest way to obtain profit
from the crop, rather than trying to
produce a crop cheaply, in the
opinio nof Herman A. Hunter, spe-
cialist in diseases of canning crops
for the University of Maryland Ex-
tension Service. He emphasizes the
fact that the tomato crop is expensive
to produce, and that many of the
costs are practically the same wheth-
err the yield is two tons or ten tons
per acre.
It is foolish to use poor land, Mr..
Hunter believes, when growing
crop such as tomatoes, in which the
set costs are so high. A good piece
of sod ground, plowed early and ma
nured literally, he states, will go
long way towards making a crop.
Regardless OF the natural fertility,
however, it pays to use a liberal
quantity of commercial fertilizer, he
says. The actual amount varies, of
course, with the different soils, but
increased applications are advised as
long as dividend is returned on the
cost of the fertilizer. From 500 to
1900 pounds per acre is recon-
mended under most conditions in
Maryland.
In using the larger amounts, Mr..
Hunter advises that the fertilizer
may be broadcast ahead of planting.
For smaller amounts, he states that
best returns are secured by placing
the fertilizer close to the row, but
not actually in contact with the
plants In the ratios recommended,
the amount of phosphorus is twice
as high as the nitrogen and potash
approximates, or slightly exceeds the
phosphorus, such as 4-S-7, or
4-8-10.
