Traffic Safety
Group Outlines
Plan For State
viii Publicize Campaign
During October; Local
Committees Will Help

The Executive Committee of the
Maryland Traffic Safety Committee
recently announced by Governor
Herbert R. O'Conor, gathered
Tuesday night at Baltimore for its
first meeting and the initial con-
ference with the newly-named gen.
eral chairman of the traffic safety
committee, Thomas P. Abbott of
Baltimore. Representatives OF
Western, Central and Southern
Maryland and the Eastern Shore
were present, together with the
Baltimore city members, and the
heads of the State Department
concerned with safety work.
The first public activity of the
Traffic Safety Committee will be
the publicizing throughout the
State of the "Traffic Safety Days"
to be held the first week in October,
in an effort to cut down the num-
ber of traffic fatalities during that
month, and through the three
month period beginning October l.,
always the worst period of the year
with respect to traffic deaths. While
the October, 1888, record showed
a sharp decrease over the total of
81 in October, 1887, there still re-
mains the fact that forty-three
persons lost their lives on State
highways and streets.
In an effort to further reduce the
October toll, the Executive Com
mittee at it's meeting adopted
comprehensive Safety Program for
the period Of October / : z, inclus-
i've, under which the 70-odd mem
bers of the general committee
throughout the State will set up
committees in their various coun-
ties, and in Baltimore city, with a
view to making the entire State
Safety conscious during that
period.
"Save a Life Possibly Your
Own = in October" is the theme
Of the safety message that will be
broadcast to the State, not only via
the radio but through newspapers,
literature of various kinds, and as
a result of safety meetings with
civic and fraternal clubs, veterans
posts, school, and college groups.
In the counties, particularly, men,
bers of the Statewide committee
will endeavor to enlist the assist
ance of others in the respective
communities who are interested in
the cause of Safety, and who are
willing to lend their efforts to help.
Among the members of the Ex-
ecutive Committee, under whose
immediate direction the October
Safety Days will, be conducted are /:
Mrs. Harry L. Harcum, President,
Maryland Federation Women's
Clubs, Salisbury; Washington L.
Cleveland, Kensington, and Edwin
A. Dempsey, 534 Park Avenue,

Soil Erosion Is
Checked By Close
Growing Crops
A Complete Vegetation Pro.
gram Recommended by
Soil Cons. Service.

AS a part of the erosion-con-
troll program on $4,000 farms in
the Southeast, more than 100000
acres have been planted to ero-
sion-resisting crops and more
than 100000 acres to semi-ero-
sion-resisting vegetation, reports
R. Y. Bailey, chief of the regional
agronomy division of the Soil
Conservation Service.
The use of this close growing
vegetation, practice recon-
mended by the State College Ex-
tension Service, has been one OF
the most outstanding develop
ments on these $4,000 farms in
erosion control demonstration
areas.
While the soil conserving value
of these crops has been of ire
mendous benefit to the individual
ferns, Bailey believes the great
{" benefit has been the oppor-
tunity this aggregate acreage has
afforded to develop a proper
conception of a complete, vege-
tative program.
The average farmer was in
terested at first only in one or
two types of vegetation, the ag-
economist said. So it was difficult
to get complete, well-balanced
treatment covering the entire
farm.
AS farmers and Soil Conserva-
ton Service workers developed
a better understanding of COM
plete erosion control program,
they realized that if the job were
ever done it would require not
one but several types of vegetation
on each farm.
A complete vegetation program
requires effective use of perennial
crops on the sleeper portions of
the farm, the use of suitable
vegetation in water disposal sys-
TENS, the proper treatment of
pastures, roadsides, gullies, field
borders, and other often-neglect-
ed areas.
Only where every portion of
the farm is given proper vegeta-
tive treatment can the erosion
problem be solved, Bailey said.

War Considered In Drafting
1910 Farm Plan, Floyd Says
Some AllOtmentS Increased.
Small Farmer Insured of
Getting $4,000.

Thorough consideration wa
given to the present European
situation and its possible effects
on American agriculture when
4he 1910 AAA program was draft
ed, according to E. Y. Floyd
AAA executive officer at State
College.
The provisions of the new pro-
gram dealing with agricultural
conservation measures follow
closely those in effect this year
and are based on farmer recon-
mendations. Farmers will have
plenty of time before planting
dates to plan cropping operations
in accordance with provisions OF
the 1910 program.
The wheat allotment of $4,000
900 acres, larger by 100000 &C.
res than the 1899 allotment, has
already been announced, as have
tentative wheat conservation and
price adjustment payments. Acre
age goals for other major crops,
together with rates of payments,
will be established later in view
of developing conditions.
An important provision which
will encourage further soil con-
servation measures on small
farms insures that as much as
$40 may be earned on every
farm participating in the pro-
gram. Another conservation pro-
vision will encourage the plant
ing of forest trees on farms by
allowing growers to earn up to
$50 for tree paintings. This would
be IN addition to the regular
Soil-building allowance for the
farm.
Floyd said soil-building prac-
+4ices have been provided to meet
more adequately the needs for
soil conservation, and special en-
phasis will be given to wildlife.
On areas where food for the farm
family is generally inadequate, a
home-garden provision will be
available. The new provisions
also extend the commercial pea
nut and commercial vegetable
programs to more counties than
in 1899.
