.675 MILLION URGED
TO BUY POOR LANDS
Board Suggests Purchase Of
5000, 900 Acres Annually
for Next IS Years

Washington, Jan. 11-(Py-A huge
program to spend $675, 100000 in buy
ing up poor land and retiring it from
farm production was recommended to
President Roosevelt Friday by the ma
tional resources board.
The purchasing would be extended
over Is years, 100000 acres being
bought each year at an annual cost
of S45, 100000
This farm land, comprising 100000
farms, should be withdrawn from ag-
riculture, the beard said "in order that
both the natural and human resources
of the nation may be conserved
The report drawn by the boards
land planning committee, was sup
Elementary to the boards earlier
study-which President Roosevelt told
congress would guide the eXpendi-
ture of four billion dollars in his
new work making program.
1t urged that the federal govern
ment and the states take steps to pre-
vent further settlement Of lands SO
poor that occupancy is clearly con-
trary to the public interest" It
turned thumbs down on any Sub
stantial movement OF unemployed
people from urban areas into CONNER
cial agricultural
For the Indians, it is suggested that
provision be made for additions to
now available Indian lands sufficient
TO provide for those willing to assume
the necessary responsibilities of land
use; and adequate system Of credit,
and an educational system designed to
fit them for operating land"

North Dakota turkeys are not to be

taste like turkeys. It SO happens
that Nom allowed us to come to her

and then word came Of the arrival
here OF daughter Aileen and her
Capt. husband and so Nom
saved that one to feed these Texas
residents who stated that they also
enjoyed North Dakota turkey. And

We all also got your picture book
of the new North Dakota state capitol
and I have been wondering where
North Dakota got so much spondulix
to put into state building when we
hear crops are SO bad year after year.
And then again have you finally de-
cided up there who is really going to
occupy it, now that it Is built.
If I remember rightly, you built
the capitol for one governor, who
took up better quarters and
two or three more would-be governors
are yet fighting to see who wears the
crown. Or is it a crown? Nav, don't
believe it is because if it was, you
would have had it before now.)

Salisbury sent two basket ball teams

as the Salisbury "Aces."
The girls were opposed by the
"Leaping Lenas" and found the "Le-

get around the floor a little faster
than the Wicomico lasses. The score
was one-sided affair, the Lenas win

high scorer for the home team, she
caging goals and one foul. Misses
Giltz and Hancock, the other two for.
wards made two each and the former
added a foul marker to her total.

point by dropping a foul into the bas'

SENATOR COBURN'S BILL
REDUCES ELECTRIC RATES

Members of the State General As

at Annapolis. The usual lack of bust

the session, and doubtless, members
are feeling time hanging heavily on
their hands.
However, adjournment for the week
will not take place until today, (Fri-

Democratic leaders tho plan to
adopt the policy of staying on the job
to forestall any charges of non-co-
operation with the Republican admin
istration.
Except for a few measures of pure
ly local interest now in committee,
and number of similar bills expect
ed, the files of both the House and
Senate are empty.
The revenue measures sent to the
Legislature last week by Governor
Nice have been sidetracked.
Deliberation on fiscal matters awaits
action by Congress on President
Roosevelt's new social-security pro-
gram and Governor Nice's submission
of his budget for normal government
tai expenditures for 1936-1937.
Under the budget law, a new Gov

office. It is understood that the Gov
ernor's advisers have counseled him
to hold it until the allotted time has
expired. That will be February 8.
Leaders in the Legislature said they
would not forecast how long it would
be before the national Administrations
program has progressed sufficiently
to enable them to gauge its effect
on the fiscal porgram that must be
drawn up in Maryland for such items
as relief, old-age pensions, unemploy-
ment insurance and kindred matters.
The only possible work that might
be done, according to the majority
leaders in the legislative branches,
would be of an informal nature-in-
vestigation Of revenue possibilities to
support whatever program is adopted.
Such Investigations by the Legisla-
tors will be started, it is understood,
as soon as the committee headed by
William J. Casey, chairman of the Bal
timore Commission on Efficiency and
Economy, reports the results of its
survey of the tax field.
The committee was appointed by
Governor Nice several weeks ago.
The Governor, however, submitted
his tax suggestions, before the COM
mittee had held deliberative meeting.
1t has been reported, unofficially,
that the Casey committees recommen-
dations will cast a favorable light on
a sales tax, which Governor Nice took
occasion to repudiate, as he later did
his "suggestions," in his first message
