FARMERS ADVISED
IN THE MATTER
OF new PROGRAM

Farmers of Maryland are urged
by Secretary C. E. Wise, Jr., of the
Maryland Farm Bureau Federation to
withhold judgment on the soils con-
servation and adjustment program,
which has been provided to replace
the emergency program, until more
complete details are known. Mr..
Wise is one of the several represen-
tatives of Maryland to attend the con-
ference called by the Secretary OF Ag-
riculture in New York this week.
Just how the program can be ap-
piled to all types of farming fairly is
still question:" in the opinion OF
Mr. Wise. "Some months of exper-
fence will probably be necessary to adj
Just the new law so that it's benefits
will be fairly distributed among those
following different types of farming.
Farmers, themselves, will have an OPP
portunity under the new measure to
help make these adjustments through
their own organizations, and national
leaders firmly believe that the new
measure can be made more beneficial
to agriculture than the old, both in
immediate benefit and in the long
time program of conserving our farm
resources"
That there might be some difficulty
in adjusting the program to such
types of farming as dairying, poultry
production, and truck farming was in
Dictated by Mr.. Wise. He believes,
however, that these problems can be
worked out.
There is no doubt of the necessity
of a national agricultural program"
says the Federation's secretary. Gag
riculture is still a long way from par
ity with industry on the basis of
either the year 1926 or the pre-war
period. With one-fourth Of the pop
ulation engaged in farming and re-
ceiving but one-eleventh of the ma
tional income, the problem Of agri-
cultural adjustment is oe which con-
Germs everybody. The soils conser-
walton measure holds promise of a
solution to this program"

work, with 122 in New York and nearly
so in Connecticut. Most of the trees
in which the disease has been confirmed
this year are in New Jersey and New
York. One has been found near Norfolk,
one near Baltimore and one at Stamford
Conn. Since the beginning of the war"
a total of 14,456 trees have been found
One of the most important jobs is
that of the sanitary department" which
comes last and cleans up trees not in
fected with the disease itself, but har-
boring the tiny beetles which carry its
spores.
The hope of saving the elms, Mr.
Strong says, rests in keeping up the
war until the last remnant Of the dis
ease is eradicated. He urges every one
who knows Of dying or sickly elm tree
anywhere to notify the department. Even
if such tree does not have the disease
itself. he says, it offers fine landing
place for the bark beetles which carry
the spores.
IAN elm with yellowing, wilted leaves
is open to instant suspicion" he says
Present indications are that the only
possible hope for the continued existence
of the elm in this country is the prompt
discovery and destruction of every dis
eased tree. This calls for careful and
continuous scouting of thousands of
square miles for number of years. If
the removal of diseased trees can keep
pace with their discovery, the campaign
has a better than $3.50 chance for
success"
