18th Farm Bureau
Convention Will
Guido All Others

Chicago-Keeping the name of the
outstanding speaker on the program
of the 18th Annual Convention of the
American Farm Bureau Federation,
to be held in Chicago, December g.
1O-11, as a surprise for a later an
nouncement, this years program will
surpass by far the meetings of prev
ious years, it was announced today
by officers of the Federation.
Every effort is being made to OBJ
tain nationally known men and women
for the principal addresses, and a
large and diversified program, touch
ing many subjects of vital interest
and significance to agriculture, now is
being prepared.
On behalf of the American Farm
Bureau Federation, President Edward
A. O'Neal has issued a most cordial
invitation to farmers and their fam
lilies who are not members of the
Bureau, to come to Chicago for the
two conventions and see for them
selves how the Farm Bureau func-
tions, how significant its program is,
and obtain a bird's-eye picture of
what the organization has accomp-
lished.
This years annual convention of the
American Farm Bureau Federation
and the Associated Women of the
American Farm Bureau Federation
will stress presentation of inspiration
al messages from leaders and mould
ers of public thought rather than
feature discussion of technical sub
jects.
Of course, ample time will be re-
served for thorough discussion of
every phase of the basic program on
which the American Farm Bureau is
steadily rebuilding prosperity into
American agriculture.
And during the three-day meeting
of the Federation, and the two-day
meeting of the Associated Women,
the program will incorporate many
entertainment features as well.
1t was felt by the executive officers
and board of directors of the two or
carnations that farmers and their
families from practically every state
and every agricultural county in the
United States, would prefer to hear
some of the outstanding men and
women in American public life rather
than sit through discussions of sub
Jects with which they were more or
less familiar.

SOME ARE HANDLER

1t ought to be easy, but it isn't Some men are sim
ply handler at making money than Others on the farm
and off, For many years the Illinois college of agriculture
through its farm management department has been super
vsng the keeping of farm accounts by farmers interested
In studying their business satstica to learn the why's
and wherefores Out of this experience been evolved
what is called sevenpont program of successful farm
practice.
These seven points (1) plan rotation of crops
and good field arrangement; (2) keep the kinds and
amounts of live stock that well suited to the farm
the farmer and the market 3) produce high yields of
crops N good returns feed fed to live stock
(5 keep labor costs low in proportion income 6 keep
in proportion to income, and CD keep building and fence
costs low in proportion to income
Among the 63 farmers kept records through
out ten years OF the project the farmer whose farm
exceed in all of these factors had an average annual
income OF $4,000 during each of the years. The six
farmers whose farms exceed in six of seven factors
had an average annual net income of 1880.
Farms strong five of the seven factors had an aver
annual net income of $3.50: those strong in four
factors earned net income of $214O those
strong in three $95, and those strong in only two fac
tors, $1,000 Farms which exceed only in one or none
OF the seven factors had average annual net income of
only 1865 for each of the ten years.
Now, why not simply adopt these seven points, put
them into practice and ahead and make good money on
the farm? But it isn't simple that Some can do it
and some can't. Don't ask to explain why It has to
do with that indefnable thing called human nature Some
are handler at making money than Others

OF their eyes, which consciously unconsciously causes
the pupil not to like to study.
The point of all this is that somewhere in this county

Farm Bureau Head
Urges Action On
Secondary Roads
H. H. Nuttle, President Of
Farm Bureau, Says Millions
Of Dollars Available For Use

Actually millions of dollars are
now available for improving Mary
lands unimproved roads over which
thousands of farm people must travel
in their daily marketing, buying,
and general activities" said H. H.
Nuttle, President of the Maryland
Farm Bureau Federation, in Balti-
more today.
"The Farm Bureau mas actively
and persistently called the attention
of the rural people of the state to
the possibility of having many miles
of mud or other unimproved roads
greatly improved in the road pro-
gram made possible by government
relief funds. The necessity of bring
ing these matters to the attention of
county officials, in order that they
may get projects formulated, has also
been urged" said Mr.. Nuttle.
eff such road building projects are
not made available in the counties
of Maryland, it will only he because
of lack of active interest on the part
of those charged with the response
bility of securing these funds. Since
the Government is providing such
large sums of money for public
projects, certainly no county or group
of farmers living upon unimproved
roads, can conceive of any expendi-
ture of public funds where the labor
provided could he put to more
useful purpose.
SIN the interest of the counties it
will serve two distinctive purposes.
1t will get large number of farm
ers on an improved or year-around
road, and second, it will conserve, in
the interests of two counties of
Maryland, their regular maintenance
funds in the interest of taxpayers

Plans And Terms
Announced For Rural
Electric Loans

In the first official announcement
of plans and terms for rural electri-
fication loans, made on July IL, REA
Administrator Morris L. Cooke said
that projects tests among other things
would require that the projects be
self-liquidating. No grants are con-
templated. REA will under suitable
conditions lend the entire cost of
building power and light lines in
areas now without electric service.
Normally loans will be for twenty
years with interest, normally, at three
per cent.
Loans to private companies will
usually be secured through the gen.
eral credit of the borrower. In certain
instances and especially on loans to
non-profit agencies the line itself will
provide the security. No farmer will
be required to mortgage his farm.
The erection of lines will be direct
ed by contractors, utility companies,
states and subdivisions of the states,
farmers, and in certain instances by
the Federal Government itself.
REA is dealing with all groups
willing to undertake to supply farm
ers with electricity and able to satisfy
REA as to their ability to operate
lines under satisfactory conditions,
and to repay the loans.
No field organization is planned. All
inquiries should be directed to REA
headquarters, Washington, D. C. All
authorizations for projects loans will
come from Washington.
Planned electrical development en-
braces not only power and light ex-
tension lines but the wiring of farm
houses, installation of electrical APP
pliances and sanitary equipment
necessary for modern bathrooms and
kitchen sinks.

Worms appear on the surface of the
ground after a heavy rainstorm, not
because they have been brought down
oy the rain but because they have
come out Of their former retreats to
avoid being drowned. There are rare
instances of small animals, toads,
nshes' ETC., having been lifted from the
ground or from pools by high winds

EVA COO HOLDS
BABY FOR LUCK

oSSINING, N. Y, April IS.
Eva Coo, doomed as a murderess,
rocked a two-months-old girl in
her arms here yesterday.
She fondled the infant and
sang to it in her death house cell
at Sing Sing. Doomed men in
other cells looked on with sympa-
thetic eyes.
When the strange scene was
finished and the baby taken
away, Eva was overjoyed. Ardently
superstitious, she called through
her cell bars:
"They say it means good luck
to hold a baby. 1 hope So"
Eva's hope is pinned on her
appeal from the death sentence
pronounced on her for the MUIR
der of her handy man." Harry
Wright, of Maryland, N. Y. The
Court of Appeals is expected to
render a decision this week.
She has never had a child, but
was electrified when Mrs. Lewis

CAPITOL IN JAM
AS 14TH WEEK
IS OPENED
By WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON

By WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON
While making sluggish progress
on President Roosevelt's most i'm.
portant recovery bills, Congress
entered its fourteenth week today
facing a hodge-podge program at
both ends of the Capitol.
The Presidents new NRA, pub
Tic utility, labor disputes and
banking reform bills were buried
in committees.
His AAA bill, reported by Sen
ate committee, has failed to reach
the floor, while reports are being
prepared.
His new social security bill was
under debate in the House, with
its passage forecast there this
week, but it was also buried along
with the others in Senate
committee.
Administration leaders were
threatening to use the party whip
on both House and Senate in an
effort to speed the legislative pace.
They were concerned especially
by dilatory handling of the bill
extending the NRA for another
two years.
1t must be passed by the middle
OF June, since the present national
recovery act expires June Is, and
few bills of such controversial
character have gone through
House and Senate within so short
a time.
The Senate faced an indefinite
program during the week. Authors
of a number of bills were strug-
Cling to get their measures con-
sidered.
The potential program included
the Bankhead bill, creating a bill
1on-dollar farmers home loan cor
poratioll to aid tenant farmers.

Lincoln Died 70 Years
Ago, Assassin Victim

In the solemn stiffness that &C.

voice of Secretary of War Edwin
M. Stanton 10 years ago today as
he lamented:
Gentlemen, there lies the
greatest master of men this
world has ever known since the
time of Christ-now he belongs
to the ages"
Then turning, with bowed head,
he left the small room of the
Tenth Street house. He left a
small coterie of friends and rela-
tives surrounding the still form
of Abraham Lincoln-Lincoln the
Emancipation, slain by the assaS-
sins bullet fired into his head as
he witnessed a stage performance
at Ford's Theater across the street
on the night before.
There Arose a Cry
In the street, throughout the
Nation and the world. there arose
the cry of a sorrowing populace:
Lincoln is dead"
And far to the South, the cow
ardly John Wilkes Booth, SeceS-
sion fanatic, covered from the
mob that he knew would trail him
to his grave for his treacherous
crime.
AS has been told so often, Booth

an opportune moment and fired
his pistol at the President, then
leaped to the stage where he

preaching death. He escaped,
however, to a temporary refuge
before being shot and captured.
Was Small SOlace
Small solace there was in that,
