ORGANIZATIONS OF HIGHWAY
ACCIDENTS

For the past 13 weeks the listen
A. L., Baltimore, has had the oppor-
tunity on Sunday morning at 9 A.
M, to hear true to life dramatiza-
lions of highway accidents. These
programs titled sit Happened So
Quick are the result of the effort
of Walter r. Rudy, Commissioner of
Motor Vehicles and were made pos
sible by the Commercial Credit Com
pany of Baltimore.
In conjunction with the splendid
cooperation given by the members
of the Press to try in every
way to reduce highway fatal
tiles, radio station cooperation was
sought in an effort to further appeal
to motorists, as well as the public to
drive and walk more carefully.
With the complete effort put forth
by all concerned, Maryland has had
a reduction of deaths on highways
of $3.50 during 1888 over last year.
This figure is outstanding through
the United States and many letters
have been received from other
States, asking for information as to
what has brought about this reduc-
ton in accidents.
Mr. Rudy felt that listening to
dramatization of this type had
definite psychological effect on mo-
florists starting out on Sunday or
vacation trips, as we'll as pedestr-
ians, and impressed them with what
could happen to them. There had
been such a substantial reduction in
accidents over period in which we
have the heaviest traffic, that upon
the recommendation of Commission
er Rudy, the Commercial Credit
Company decided to continue these
programs in Maryland over the re-
mainder of the vacation or summer
season. The new series of programs
began on Sunday, July "a, at A. M.
over Radio Station w. B. A. L.

WHEAT LOAN PROGRAM FOR
1898 is ANNOUNCED

Loans on wheat i'm storage will be
made available to Maryland wheat
growers who are cooperating in the
1888 agricultural conservation pro-
gram, according to information re-
ceived from Secretary of Agriculture
H. A. Wallace by Dr. T. B. Symons,
director of the University of Mary
land extension service.
The rate of 70 cents per bushel
will be loaned ON wheat grading No.
2 Red Winter. The rate for No. 8
wheat is 81 cents per bushel. Dis
counts for garlic and smut will be
made at the prevailing commercial
rates of discount. Wheat to be eligi-
BILE for loan must not contain more
than IA or IA " percent of moistuer.
The loans will be made for per-
iod of seven months and will bear 4
percent interest. They will be made
only on wheat stored in approved
elevators and secured by negotiable
warehouse receipts.
To obtain loan, farmer, after
delivering his wheat to an approved
elevator, must first apply for a loan
to the county AAA committee locat-
ed at the county agents office. If
he can qualify, the committee will
certify him as eligible for a loan.
In order to be eligible for a loan,
his 1888 acreage of soil-depleting
crops cannot exceed los percent of
the total soil-depleting acreage allot-
ment established for his farm.
The farmer can then present the
bility, and his warehouse receipt
showing the quantity, grade and
quality of his wheat, to his bank or
to a Loan Agency of the Reconstruc-
ton Finance Corporation, and OBJ
tain his loan, depositing his ware
house receipts as collateral
Within a few days, the county
AAA committees will be supplied
with lists of approved warehouses
and the forms necessary for certify
ing growers who are eligible for
loans.
The wheat loans are at the mini"
mum rate authorized by the Agricul-
tural Act of 1888. They are intended
to assist in the orderly handling OF
an especially large crop of wheat
and will probably be followed by
other measures to dispose of wheat
surplus, including an effort to encour-
age exports and a restriction ON the
acreage to be seeded for next years
crop.

POULTRY IMPROVEMENT
SCHOOLS

Official poultry improvement work
in Maryland increased considerably
last year over the previous year,
says Wade H. Rice, Extension Poul-
try Specialist of the University of
Maryland. Last fall over 1000 poul-
try raisers attended the series of
meetings held in every county and
two judging and selection schools
were held, one at the University and
one at Chestertown. Farmers and
poultry raisers have asked that more
of these schools be held this summer
and fall.
To meet this demand, dates for
the Poultry Improvement Schools in
various parts of the State have been
scheduled by the Poultry Depart
ment of the University as follows:
Salisbury---For Lower Eastern
Shore Monday night and
Tuesday-Aug. / and 2
Central Eastern
Shore Wednesday night
and Thursday-Aug. ga
Observation-Disclosures Eastern Shore

Thursday-Aug. 10-11
Westminister-Nort Central Mary
land Monday night and
Tuesday-Aug. 1916
College Park-Central and Southern

The objective of these schools Is
to provide an opportunity for great
er participation in official breed i'm
provement and pullorum disease
control, through the qualification of
hatcherymen and breeders as Flock

of the Maryland Poultry Improve
ment Board.
The evening sessions will be de-
