Farm Group Recon-
mends s. Year Plan
Calls For Wheat Acreage Cut
--.Increase In Feed Crops
And More Live Stock

A fye-year Maryland farm-im-
movement program, calling for de-
crease in wheat acreage and an IN
crease in the use of crop lands for
pasture and feed crops, was adopted
Monday by group of farm leaders
at a meeting at the Southern Hotel,
in Baltimore.
The more than twenty organiza-
lions represented at the conference
included the Maryland State Grange,
the Farm Bureau and the various
dairy. live stock, poultry, crop I'M
proyement and trucking associations
OF the State.
The program was presented by DR..
T. B. Symons, director OF The uni
yersity of Maryland Extension Ser
vice. and was based on study of
State agricultural trends and needs
made by a special committee on
county agricultural planning.
Reduction of wheat acreage by H.
ABA acres, or 4.3 per cent, was
recommended in the plan. At the
same time farmers were urged to
increase their acreage in corn, nay
barley and other feed crops in order
to take care of an increasing live
stock population.
Withdrawal of some land from
agriculture entirely was recommend
ed, while it was suggested that much
other land which is steep in slope or
low in fertility be shifted permanent
ly into pasture The recommended
tons referred particularly to noun
famous land in Western Maryland,
and poor, badly drained land on the
Eastern Shore.
Increases recommended in acre
ages of feed crops were: Hay, "a
399 acres, or 6.2 per cent; corn, H.
600 acres, or AS per cent, and bar
ley, 2O,282 acres, or about So per
cent.
The five-year plan calls for slight
increase in the number of cattle and
general increases in the number OF
horses and mules, sheep and hogs.
The horses and mules are needed
for farm requirements, while Mary
lands production of pork is not sur
ficient for home consumption, DR..
Symcns' figures showed. He urged
that cattle increases be primarily for
the improvement of herds and pre-
dicted that improved dairy stock and
better feeding methods would raise
the production of milk ten per cent
in the fve-year period.
Improvement of pasture land
through the planting of grasses, in
stead of letting the land lie idle and
fallow, was another proposal indors-
ed by the conference.
Emphasis also was put on greater
cooperation with the Maryland Soil
Conservation Service in the proven
ton of soil erosion and with the
Maryland Crop Improvement Asso-
citation in the use of higher-grade
seeds.

Curb stocks continued irregular
In later dealings, with, utilities
dragging, while a few miscellane-

strength. Trading was moderately
active.
Dominating the tape for a
period were the Brill Company
issues. The preferred spurted an
other 6 points to within a frac-
ton Of highs for the year at 531a.
The issue was in heavy demand
on reports of sharply increased
orders. The A stock advanced a
half point to 65s and the B worked
slightly higher. Sharing honors
with Brill from the standpoint of
both strength and activity was
Childs preferred, which climbed
more than 3 points. Novadel Agene

CHEMISTS HELD
N0WARCAUSE

Neither chemists nor chemistry
make war, according to DR.. E. F..
Armstrong, president of the AS
ISOLATION of British Chemical
Manufacturers, who is in this
country to address the ninety-Sec-
ond meeting of the American
Chemical Society at Pittsburgh on
September 9. He said:
I'm peace time chemicals are
definitely and absolutely not
munitions, though there are
crankS sufficiently crazy to
claim the contrary. In war
everything becomes a prOspec-
tive munition, from a lump of
coal and a blade of grass to the
most complex optical instru-
ment. Glycerin and nitric acid
have very different uses in
peace than in war.
ut is essential in peace time
that we maintain those chemi-
cal industries in active being
which in war will furnish the
plants and the material and the
chemists necessary for war pro-
ductiOn. This proposition is &C
cepted by the British nation.
Under the dyestuffS and the
safeguarding acts, new life has
been infused into the color and
the fine chemical industries"

SEEN
PROBLEM FOR
CANADA

The question of Dominion Il
nances is a major problem con-
fronting Canada at present, in
view of the huge burden Of Do
minion debt (nearly $500 per cap.
ita), and the continuing deficits
incurred by the Canadian National
Railways system, according to a
survey issued by the Standard Sta
tisticS Company.
For the time being, uncertainty
regarding the validity of the many
legislative measures adopted in re-
cent years, as we'll as uneaSineSS
regarding the governments fiscal
policies, may tend to retard indus
trial expansion in the Dominion,
the survey said. The general
trend, however, is expected to con-
tinue upward, in line with devel-
opmentS in the United States. The
survey continues:
"ThuS far this year, Canadian
business has shown substantial
improvement over 1885, despite
restrictive legislation, prolonged
drought, and unprecedented high
temperatures in Western and
Central provinces. Mineral pro-
ductiOn continues to expand and,
of greater importance than
either grain or minerals, tourist
traffic has grown steadily. The
tourist business, IS per cent of
it from the United States,
brought $2O2,314,OOO into the
country in 1885, against $780,
974,OO0 in 1894, with prospects
of a further rs per cent gain in
1886. This growth alone would
insure Canadian recovery this
year.
"There has been a substantial
improvement in all of the major
indexes of economic activity.
CarlOadings for the first seven
months amounted to 1,353,583,
compared with 1,329,S13 in the
corresponding period of 1885.
For the first six months, pig
iron production was up 81 per
cent; automobile sales, 8 per
cent; electric power output,
per cent; newSprint production,
Is per cent; bank debts, 13 per
cent; life insurance sales, per
cent; and building contracts, 2
per cent"
The survey observes that foreign
trade continues to show Satisfac,
tory expansion:
