AReader Writes

To the Editor of the Gazette:
Last weeks issue of the Gazette
carried local news article en-
titled "Flay tax spenders at pay
ers' meeting"
It seems to me that this mass
display of ''flaying" in this era
of government subsidies is rather
inconsistent. The main shaft of
vehemence shot in these taxpay-
ers meetings has been directed at
the WPA workers. This group is
not, however, the only recipients
of government relief. AS a matter
of fact there are few individuals
and fewer classes that are not in
some manner either directly or
indirectly receiving "relief."
Where is the sense or justice in
holding our own government
check behind our back while
pointing the finger of scorn at
the other fellow? Farmers as a
whole are prone to deride the re-
lief worker, yet they do not hesi-
tate to stick their mitt into the
Federal Treasury and grab bill

Fox Hunting Now
Becoming Popular

Yoicks and tally-ho! The fox
hunt is on. Ard if it reaches the
scale rivaled only in England,
don't be surprised.
Brown county commissioners
earlier this year placed 81 boun-
ty on foxes when these animals
were raising hob with chicken
roosts and were becoming more
than common.
Nimrods of the county went in
to the for hunting business, not
for pleasure like the aristocracy
of England, but for profit
That some are making it pay
was evidenced last week when
County Auditor c. E. Schmid an
nounced that Is have been re-
ported taken in the county. Three
have been reds which are priced
highly, while the others have
been the ordinary grey fox.

MASKED MEN LOSE
THEIR NERVE APPARENTLY Y

Two masked would-be bandits were
outbluffed by Mr.. William l.. Saun-
der and Mrs. Saunders when armed
with pistols and heavy sticks two
small men, heavily masked and glow
ed, attempted to rob the Saunders
home.
Mr.. and Mrs. Saunders were seated
in the living room of their home at
CapevilTe, Va, when from the rear OF
the house the two men approached the
elderly couple and demanded of the
husband that he give up his money.
Pretending that he thought them to
be Joking Mr.. Saunders refused to
leave his chair and joked the men
about not knowing the date of Halowe'
en-. In an apparent attempt to prove
their Intentions to be serious one OF
the men struck Mrs. Saunders on the
head with a stick, inflicting a slight
scalp wound. At this juncture, Mr..
Saunders, still refusing to admit that
he had any money on his person or
in the house, berated the men and ap-
parently losing their nerve the pair
left the house.
Deputy Sheriff John Read Womble
was summoned to the scene and was
given detailed description of the
men insofar as their wearing apparel
and size was concerned but they were
so heavily masked and gloved that it
was not possible, even in the brightly
lighted living room, to tell whether
they were white or colored, though
it was thought from their voices that
they were white.
No arrests have been made though
all county officers are engaged in in
vestigating the attempted robbery.

FARM PROGRAM
FOR NEXT YEAR
SIMILAR TO 1888

The 1889 AAA Farm Program for
Maryland and the rest of the coun-
try will be similar in most respects
to the 1888, according to c. z. Keller,
State Executive Officer.
AS in 1888, the 1889 program will
include establishment of Individual
allotments for wheat and potatoes, as
well as an allotment for total soil
depicting acreage. Payment will be
made for keeping within soil-depleting
acreage ailments and for attain
ing soil-building goals by carrying out
approved practices. On farms where
no wheat or potato allotments are es-
tablished, payments will be earned on
ly by oil-building practices.
In general, approved soil-building
practices will be similar to those ap-
proved for 1888. Crop classification
Worcester Democrat and the ledger-enterprise., 1938-09-16

will be practically the same as IN 1885,
the principal exception being that
land planted to oats, barley, rye or a
mixture of these crops will not De
classified as soil-depleting when such
crops are used as nurse crops for le-
gumes or perennial grasses of when
a good stand is established in 1889,
and the nurse crop is cut green for
hay and is not harvested for gram.
Wheat acreage allotments Will be
established for all commercial Wheat
farms. Agricultural Conservation
payments with respect to wheat ana
wheat price adjustments will be made
for such farms. On non-commerclal
wheat farms, no payment will be made
for any acreage of wheat harvested
with respect to wheat and deductions
will be made from other payments
for grain or hay in excess of the usual
wheat acreage, or s acres, which is
larger.
Compliance on commercial wheat
farms will be checked late this fall on
the basis of wheat seeded for all pur-
poses, including wheat seeded for hay
or pasture, green manure and cover
crop purposes. If the planted acreage
exceeds the allotted acreage, no wheat
price adjustment payment will be
made and a deduction will be made
from the conservation payment at the
rate of so cents per bushel of the nor
NAL yield per acre times each acre
in excess of the wheat acreage allot-
ment.
The wheat conservation payment
will be reduced on farms where the
1899 seeded wheat acreage is less
than 80 per cent of the wheat allot
ment established for such farms. The
allotment used in calculating the pay
ment for such farms will be reduced
to 125 percent times the acreage of
wheat seeded in 1899. Therefore, no
conservation payment with respect to
wheat will be made to farms not seed
ing wheat for harvest in 1889. A de-
duction at the rate of $500 per acre
will be made for growing soil-deplet-
ing crops in excess of the total soil
depicting allotment, except that if the
excess is in wheat the deduction will
be made at the rate specified abdEe
for wheat.
Payment for not exceeding the
wheat acreage allotment will be made
at the rate of 16 to 18 cents per BUSH
ell, plus price adjustment payment
of 10 to IL cents per bushel (or total
of 26 to 80 cents per busheD on the
farms normal yield per acre for each
acre in the wheat allotment.
Payment for reducing potatoes on
commercial potato farms will amount
to approximately 3 cents per bushel
on the farms normal yield per acre
grown not in excess of the potato
allotment.
Payment for carrying out soil
building practices will be practically
the same as in 1888.

(Nucifraga columbiana).
MAY 2s. 1888.

I and sticks around to see what you are
| up to. Finding the scraps thrown
away are most delectable tldbits. this
nutcracker forsakes his regular diet
and varies it with p:ckups. He has
acquired the taste for meat and will
be on hand at meal time. in the hope

him a great treat, as well as other
things used as food by his human
neighbors.
Like his cousin, Jim Grow, the nut
cracker gets on familiar terms as
quickly as possible He has big
bump of curiosity, and will call at all
times of the day to peep and pry into
every corner and Granny, In the hope
of finding something new.
The winter has no terrors for this
bird. He lives where an abundance
of cones is developed by the conifers.
When he wishes to dine. he flies to a
cone-laden branch and gives it a shake
by landing on the branch with plop!
The cone falls to the ground. The har-
vester follows it, and picking it up in
his strong bill, transports it to some
place where he can whack the scales
off and get to the seeds.
During the spring, summer and au-
tumn there are delicious fruits and
berries, and there are so many insects
of various sizes, states of juiciness and
flavor that the nutcracker may well
look upon his lot as prosperous one.

wishes to seek the latter.
The nursery is in pine from to 40
feet from the ground, and built on the
horizontal branches 1t is a cumber-
some affair, constructed with coarse
sticks, the white twigs of the sage
bush. Then comes the second layer
of dried grasses and well-chosen plant
fiber and down, with strips Of juniper
bark well blended with the less dur
able material. Three to five eggs are
laid. They are decorated with tiny
specs of brown and purple, in a uni
form design or wreath of the colors

The reputation of this bird is rather

called the camp robber and he is very
noisy, caring little who hears his loud
voice or becomes acquainted with his
whereabouts.
