CHANGE IN FARM PROGRAM
WILL AID WHEAT GROWERS 4,

All wheat farmers who seeded
clover in their wheat fields the past
spring may benefit from change in
the new soil conservation program
which was announced by the Secre-
tary of Agriculture on May rs, ac-
cording to DR.. T. B. Symons, who is
in charge of carrying out that pro-
gram in Maryland. He urges all
wheat growers to thoroughly inform
themselves with respect to this
change and to file work sheets for
their farms, if they have not already
done so.
1t is possible under the new rul-
ing, DR.. Symons states, to consider
one-half the acreage of wheat seeded
to clover in meeting the requirement
that the acreage diverted from de-
plotting crops must be planted to con-
serving crops in 1886, in order to
qualify for Glass l payment. Many
farmers, he says, have been puzzled
as to how they could meet that re-
quirement. Some have been plan
ming to plant soybeans to turn under
as green manure, but have been fear
full that dry weather might cause
failure. The new ruling, it is stated,
will enable most farmers who have
seeded clover in their wheat to count
one-half the acreage of wheat seeded
to clover in meeting the requirement
instead of planting a summer green
manure crop for that purpose.
DR.. Symons emphasizes also that
the new ruling will enable farmers to
meet another requirement of the
program. He points out that there
must be a minimum acreage devoted
to soil conserving crops on the farm
in 1886 equal to 15 per cent of the
soil depicting base. One-half the
acreage of wheat seeded to clover the
past spring may be counted for that
purpose, he states.
Wheat farmers are urged that
this modification in the provisions of
the program emphasizes the import
ance of filing a work sheet for their
farms by June Is. Some farmers
may suffer partial crop failure this
summer and may be unable to har-
vest their normal acreage Of soil
depicting crops. If they have filed
work sheets, they may be able to
benefit from the program, whereas
if they fail to do so, they will be
unable to obtain payments later in
the year, even though it may be de-
termined that they have fully quail
fed for payment.
The program may be looked upon
as crop insurance measure, DR..
Symons states. A severe drought is
threatening some parts Of the State,
he says, and this program will be ex-
ceedingly helpful to farmers who
have filed work sheets. Farmers who
do not understand it's provisions are
urged to consult their County Agent.
Farmers may get assistance in fill
ing out the work sheets at the
County Agents Office or from any of
the following committeeman: L.

H. Baker, near Elkton; John B.

Republicans Gather ammunition
Officers Who Talk Too Much

WASHINGTON Republicans are hailing with
glee the fact that they have been provided with
some more ammunition TO shoot al the Democratic
rivals with Secretary Of Commerce Dan Roper

It all comes out Of the safety at sea and the
safety in the air probes Wlin resulting penallza-
tions Of officials who talked out Of turn and
drew down the wrath Of super-ors On taeu heaoS.
Bombshels have burst under the Commerce
Department during Ropers regime almost as fre-

J. A Mount. former superintendent Of malnten-
ance for Roper's Bureau of Air Commerce, was
dismissed after he had reported that the plane
crash in which Senator Bronson Cutting was
killed was due to the bureaus inef1.eiency ard
violation Of regulations and that federal negh-
gence was endangerins human lives over great
stretches of the commercial a-rWays-

Meanwhile, the inspectors held, American LVes
wouldn't be safe at sea. They warned Of very

WHY PROVIDE CRIMINALS
WITH FREE HOTELS!

County authorities are seriously cor
sidering the enlargement Of the county
Jail. The present institution Is not large
enough to accommodate the already
overflowing supply Of prisoners.
Sheriff Robert Bob Ware IS behind
the proposal and Sheriff Ware Is a cap
able, serious man. From his point of
view, additional quarters are needed.
The need does exist, but there Is a more
lasting and important slant.
Not only ours, but all other jails
are full. And not only jails, but prisons
are pack-jammed with inmates. Recent
ly, an uprising in cold-blooded. grue-
some AlcatraZ prison resulted from de
mands" by prisoners for lax manage
ment An example of the laXity they de-
sired is found in San Quentin. Although
this is the largest prison in the world to-
day, San Quentin IS SO oVereroWded
with killers and crooks that inmates
manufactured $4,000 in counterfeit
money before discovery.
Such conditions, for which prison
authorities cannot be entirely RESPONSE
BILE, are found throughout the land Teha-
chapi, for further example was built as
a model prison for women and today IS
not large enough to meet demands.
abiding, hard working citizen can go on
forever building prisons and jails-and
paying for them. But the taxpayer
wants to decrease the demands on his
purse, not increase them.
Irrespective of scientific opinion, it
would appear advisable that jails ana
prisons be made less attractive This can
be done without cruelty and in thor
oughly scientific manner, by turning
penitentiaries into workshops instead Of
free-rent hotels in which to spend Sc
cluded vacations.
Few would wish to return to an institu-
tion where prisoners exert themselves
twice as hard as in righteous everyday
labor Instead of more detention homes,
what is needed IS more work whereby
the miscreant pays for his board and
ROOM and stays until he has met his
bill
It would be q good gamble that the
underworld grapevine would soon carry
