M. Hepbron, of the Baltimore Grim

papers in the case, and requested to
make an investigation. Mr.. Hepbron
has sent me his report, which is most
exhaustive, Intelligent, logical and
altogether convincing.
Harold, being a colored man, Mr..
Hepbron invited the cooperation of
Mr.. Edward l.. Lewis, of the Urban
League, to assist him, thus assuring
the colored people of Maryland that
the investigation would be based
upon facts and not upon prejudice.
Mr.. Lewis being opposed to capital
punishment, feels that it should not
he administered in this or any other
case, but agrees that capital punish
ment being the Law of Maryland,
his opposition in this particular case
must necessarily be based upon his
opposition to capital punishment and
not upon doubt Of guilt.
From the report of Mr.. Hepbron
and from the findings of DIR. G. H.
Preston, Commissioner of Mental
Hygiene, and other psychiatrists ex-
amining the Defendant, I am con-
WINGED that Harold is sane within
the meaning of the Maryland Law,
that he has had fair and impartial
trial. / can find no extenuating cir

FACTS and FIGURES
:. OF :.
AGRARIAN INTEREST

it is easily understood how these coun-
tries may handily hurdle the tariff
barriers of AZ bushel on wheat and
rs bushel on corn that the u. 8
maintains.
AS our farmers are about to break
ground for the 1885 corn season. the
Argentine farmer is beginning to cut
his crop, one of the best on record.
Further, only last week several boat
loads of old Argentine corn arrived at
both Baltimore and Boston. In addi-
ton 100000 bushels of Rumanian
corn was imported most recently.
And while on the subject it is well
to point out as a possible guide to
those holding out for higher farm
prices that a cargo of Polish rye
reached Baltimore last week, while
Latvian rye was received at Philadel-
phia. Argentine oats are being plenti
fully imported. In addition large daily
shipments of Canadian wheat is COM
in for feeding and blending purposes.
With corn, wheat, rye, oats and
other cereals at present prices it
would seem that foreign shipments
representing surpluses will be the
controlling factors in our grain mar
kets for the next few months unless
a crop or imitation scare should come
Swimming Cream
If correct and truthful figures were
tabulated setting forth the percent
age of milk sold in TIE Montgomery
County suburbs of Washington, buv
produced in other counties by farmers
not meeting D. C. regulations, it is
possible that the heavily tax burden
ed farmer of this county who must
meet stringent and costly code re-
quirements in shipoing to Washing
ton would be astounded. It might
serve to pertinently prove the oft re-
pea'ct: statement that the cream cf
the MONTGOMERY COUNTY MILK
sales is being SKINNED off by unfair
productive competition.

cent of the farmers on dirt roads,
70.6 per cent owning cars and 23.6
per cent trucks, they WI indeed be
in sorry plight if we &C. t.nue to
neglect our road system.
Consider this, the average farmer
is obliged to travel 10 miles to mar
ket from farm of only 1912 acres
to market his produce in a car
worth $4,000.
"The higher percentage of farm
products are of a perishable nature
and must be Immediately transported
to such distant markets as Wash
ington, Philadelphia, New York, and
Baltimore.
"Twenty-six per cent of all farm
products in Maryland are from
diaries, 1877 per cent poultry, 1913
per cent corn and $40 per cent
trucking; POI 1000 cattle and calves
are hauled over Maryland highways
each year.
"The movement of non-perishable
goods must be made at time when
market prices are at their best. In
order for the farmer, or for that
matter, any taxpayer of Maryland,
to realize the maximum return on
his investment in labor and money,
he must be provided with adequate
highway facilities.
maryland farmers are squarely
behind the Highway Users Confer
ence and the Maryland Farm Blu
reau Federation in the fight of these
two groups to keep the highway
funds intact for highways only"

Since the World War period, when

the latter has not only become self

grains, but France, Italy and the

haunted us SO menacingly until last

Today the European, Argetine and
Australian grain SURPRISES cast a
deaationary pail over our markets in
that they constitute not only poten-

but an actual hazard.
Another factor of Importance has
occurred during the past seven days
to aid the foreign grower in his ex-

government purposely devalued the
gold dollar to SO to gain us export
advantages in foreign markets, we are
now faced with possible retaliatory
measures by England and the other
Sterling countries. Due to the weak.

AS Sufferers Ii
Auto Tax Changes
ANY Diversion Of Funds From
Roads Opposed By Farm
Bureau Official

Owners and operators of more
than $4,000 farms in Maryland, al
ready overburdened with every con-
-ceivable kind of tax, will be the real
sufferers if DIVERSION of motor vehicle
funds is enacted into law" was the
warning issued by p. C. Turner, of
Parkton, chairman of the Highway
Users Conference ri Maryland and
president of the Baltimore County
Farm Bureau.
First diversion Of motor revenue
funds was proposed by Governor Nice
in his budget message to the Assem-
bly," declared Mr.. Turner. Listed
as Senate Bill 70 and House Bill 100,
this diversion proposal was followed
only the other day by a report of
the Senate Finance Committee re-
-ducing the $1O,OOO,OOO bond issue to
:$8,00O,000, thereby depriving road
funds of $1,000,OOO. We will not be
misled by such soporific," he said.
Mr.. Turner, who is also director
of the Maryland Farm Bureau Fed

was recently one of the organizers
OF production credit associations in
