culture of the University OF Mary
land, who is charged with enforce
ment of this Act This law provides
also for the licensing of all weighers
and samplers in such plants and all
operators of the Babcock tests or
other butterfat tests, when such tests
are used as basis of payment for
milk or cream or are made for offic.a
! inspection, or are for public record
according to DR.. Patterson.
Arrangements have been made, it
is stated, for holding a series of ex-
limitations in various parts of the

WARNING TO MOTORISTS

Watch out for speed traps in
Pennsylvania" is warning issued
to motorists OF this State by the Key
stone Automobile Club of Maryland
The State Highway Patrol of
Pennsylvania has been unusually ac-
tive in recent weeks, according to
Albert e. Buckley, Manager of the
Club, and numerous arrests have
been made of speeders. Reports just
received from the Patrol head
quarters indicate that so far this
year the arrests have been ten per
cent greater than for the same
period last year, due to the orders of
Governor Earle for concentration on
highway law enforcement.
Mo- only are the State Highway
Patrolmen active, Mr.. Buckley
warns, but many local police in
many instances have undertaken
vigorous enforcement measures un-
der the spur of public demand for
accident reduction.
"Our best advice to Maryland mo-
florists travelling in Pennsylvania is
to drive with due regard to safety"
said the Keystone Club official
Police are insistent that speed be
reduced in cities and towns, and they
are also opposed to mile-a-minute
travel on the open road"
Motorists also are advised to carry
a spare set of headlight bulbs When
"one-eyed" cars are stopped in Penn
sylvania, police are lenient with the
driver who has spare bulbs, thus
showing his good intent. Such
drivers are permitted to replace the
burned out lamp and resume their
journey. Those who don't carry
spares are subject 20 arrest

DEVELOPING NEW FRONTIER

1t has often been said, during the
past five sour years, that the way to
solve depression is to develop new
frontiers. The only trouble with
that solution in the present depres-
sion is the lack of frontiers to de-
velop.
One frontier is still left, however
Alaska. Only minute portion of
+ its food is produced within it's
boundaries-the rest must be import
ed from Continental u. S. AS re-
suit, a scheme which FERA officials
set up in January, is now getting
underway.
In Southern Alaska is the Mata-
nuska Valley, with 10000 rich acres,
which now houses but III families.
FERA plan is to transplant bankrupt
farm families to the valley from U.
S. farming regions, put them to work
producing necessities. Winter tenn
peratures in the valley are higher
than those in northern Michigan,
Minnesota, etc., so there is no climate
problem. Each family will be given
equipment, livestock, a house and
forty acres, worth $4,000, which
they can repay to the Government

FARM LEADERS REVISING AAA
AMENDMENTS
Maryland Official Says Public Has
Equal Stake With Farmer In
Final Outcome

F1nal outcome
While the basic provisions of the
Agricultural Adjustment Act appear
unaffected by the Supreme Courts
ruling, agricultural leaders in Wash
ington are working on revisions to
the proposed amendments to bring
them into line with the courts de-
cision.
In statement setting forth some
of the detectives of the pending
legislation, Mr.. G. E. Wise, Jr., sec
rotary of the Maryland Farm Bureau
Federation, said that although not
generally appreciated, the consumer
has an equal stake with the growers
in the AAA, and that the final out
come is of national concern. The
goal sought through the operation of
the Adjustment Act" Mr.. Wise
emphasized, lis to secure the benefits
of stable prices, and at a level at
which the interchange of goods can
be maintained at it's highest level of
efficiency. No one need longer be
told" he said, ''that low prices mean
unemployment and business stagna-
ton, and that farm SURPRISES mean
ow prices"
The rapid trend towards indus
trialization, Mr.. Wise believes, has
ended to obscure the fact that indus
trial and farm prices are still inter
dependent, and that damage to one
is inevitably followed by damage to
the other
THE American Farm Bureau"
Mr. Wise declared, lis determined
hat the violent price fluctuations of
the past must be ruled out, and that
The provisions of the Agricultural
Adjustment Act be made sufficiently
flexible in scope so that the prevent
able causes may be eliminated"
In addition to the original prin-
eiple looking to the curbing of crop
SURPRISES, the amendments to the act
sponsored by the farm organizations
would provide means also for assur-
ng against crop shortages; expansion
Of both domestic and foreign mar
xets; and protection for the consum-
er against unwarranted price in
;reases by professors and handlers

EROSION DAMAGE SERIOUS in
MARYLAND

Although hit less heavily than
most states of the Atlantic seaboard,
| ria. yland has suffered land impov-
{. ishment by soil erosion on more
than two million acres or approx
matcly 80 per cent of its State area,
the Soil Conservation Service report
ed today.
More than 100000 acres, the
Service stated, have been affected in
some degree by soil erosion, or sheet
washing. with three-fourths of this
area SCARED by gullies.
Emphasizing he fact that the
figures were obtained during a broad
reconnaissance to determine the ex-
tent of erosion nationally, Fl. H. Ben
nett, Chief of the Service, pointed out
that he facts are not literally APP
plicable to local areas. On a recon
Nuisance basis, he pointed out only
an approximation of generally pre-
vailing conditions could be obtained
Through the western part of the
State, moderate erosion has remov
ed one-fourth to three-fourths of the
topsoil along the valleys and on the
more gently rolling lands utilized for
crops. Some mountainous slopes,
which had been cleared and utilized
for pasture or remained in woods
but were subjected to logging or
severe burning, also show moderate
sheet erosion.
Carroll, Baltimore, Hartford, and
Frederick counties have considera BILE
areas influenced by moderate sheet
erosion. A very large percentage of
the land is utilized for crops, with no
attention to erosion control. The
coastal plain south of Washington
shows large areas of land which in
general have lost one-fourth to three
fourths of the topsoil This occurs
on rolling topography where sandy
clay subsoils retard the downward
percolation of water In Kent
county on the eastern shore moderate
erosion prevails.
Severe outlying occurs with both
moderate and severe sheet erosion on
more than 100000 acres south of
Washington. Here the topography is
rolling and the soils contain relative
y impervious subsoi layers which
allow very slow percolation and at
tendant rapid run-off of rainwater."

JAP BEETLE QUARANTINE RE-
VISED

A revision of the regulations of
the Japanese beetle quarantine has
| been announced by Henry A. Wal
! lace, Secretary of Agriculture. AS
now revised they regulate the inter
state movement from June Is to Oc-
tober Is, inclusive, of all fruits and
vegetables by refrigerator car or
motor vehicle from the District of
Columbia, and parts of the States of
Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, and Virginia.
These restrictions, Secretary Wal
lace stated, are based on observations
made during the summer of 1894
which indicated the necessity for re-
stricting the movement of al fruits
and vegetables by refrigerator cars
or trucks from these sections Of
heavy infestation to non-infested
territory.
The regulations prohibit the inter-
state shipment of cut flowers, por-
lions of plants without roots, green
corn on the cob, beans in the pod,
bananas in entire punches or clusters
of 25 or more, apples, peaches, or
berries from the regulated areas to
or through outside points from June
| Is to October Is, inclusive, unless a
Federal permit or certificate has been
obtained and is attached to the out
side of the container. No restric-
tions are, however, placed on the
interstate movement of apples or
peaches Of less than 5 pounds to the
shipment, or of commercially packed
apes in any quantity, or of bananas
in punches or clusters of less than
| 25, unless such articles are moved in
refrigerator cars or motor vehicles.
The regulations prohibit through
out the year the interstate shipment
of plants sand, soil, earth, peat, COM
/ post, and manure. from the regulated
areas TO or through any outside
point unless Federal permit or GER
tificate has been obtained and is at
tached to the outside of the container.
There is no change In the areas
under regulation which include the
District Of Columbia, the entire
States of Connecticut, Delaware,
Massachusetts, New Jersey, and
Rhode Island, and parts of the States
of Maine, Maryland, New Hampshire,
New York, Pennsylvania, Vermont,
Virginia, and West Virginia.

$500, 100000 FOR GRADE-CROSS-
ING ELIMINATION

President Roosevelt has stated
that he definitely favors grade-cross-
ing elimination as part of the great
emergency spending program.
The President, in making the an
nouncement, alluded to the recent
Maryland accident in which IA chill
dren in a bus were killed when it was
struck by train, and said that such
accidents are far 200 common. He
then indicated that about $2OO,O0O,-
900 will be spent for crossing ellml-
nation before July 1, 1885, and
stressed the need for speed in gettlng
the crossing program underway. The
proposed plan is to grant money TO
states which have facilities for per-
forming grade-crossing work, and to
have the Federal government do the
Job in states where such facilities do
not now exist.
Embarrassing elimination is one
of the best possible fields for spend
ing of emergency funds. 1t fits
every purpose for which the expendi-
lures are designed, in that it serves a
definite public need, benefits every
citizen, stimulates industry, and pro-
vides a maximum Of employment, di-
rect and indirect, for each dollar
spent. Every heavy industry in the
country will share in the purchasing
power grade-crossing elimination Will
create-steel, cement, paint, etc.
All other industries will likewise
share. in that the money going to
workmen will be spent for all man
ner of commodities and services.
The cause of highway safety will be
immeasurably advanced, and rail-
road service will be improved, as the
existence of grade crossings is a
great barrier to increasing train
speeds.
The $2OO,00O,00O will not, of
course, eliminate all grade crossings.
But it marks great step forward,
and paves the way for additional
work to be done by all units of gov
eminent in the future.
