CHAPEL POINT, Nd, May g.
The nearest thing to canned" farm
ing weather yet discovered and
gadgets that treat pigs better than
their own mother have been opening
the eyes of Southern Maryland farm
ers to the miracle of electricity here
the past two days.
Donning their day-go-to-meet-
ing clothes and leaving the chores
behind, Mr.. and Mrs Farmer and
all the children have been flocking
to the Rural Identification Admin
istration Farm Electric Equipment
Show to see in action a power that
is revitalizing the farming industry.
The three-day exhibit, sponsored
by the Southern Maryland Tri-
County Cooperative Association,
closes tonight with addresses by
Secretary of Agriculture Wallace,
r. E. A. Administrator Harry Slat-
terry and others.
Guests yesterday included John N.
Carmody, head Of the Federal Works
Agency; M. L. Wilson, director of
the Extension Service of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, and DR.. Louise
M. Stanley, chief Of the Bureau Of
Home Economics.
Guess Work Eliminated.
A gadget that was attracting much
attention among the farmers. who
watched with their best corn-cob
pipe gripped firmly in their mouths,
was the electric hot-hed that elimi-
mates the guess work and weather
hazard in raising small plants to be
set out In the field.
The device consists of two Lead
covered wires that run beneath the
bed There's thermostat on 1t th4t
can keep the bed heated constantly
to within two degrees Of desired
temperature. It's fine for tobacco,
sweet potatoes, tomatoes, bell pep
pers and other more OF less delicate
growths.
The electric bed eliminates as
much as is possible with any device
the hazard of weather, the greatest
single factor in farming. If manure
is used and cold snap happens
along just as the plants are ready
for setting, the farmer often loses
all because the heat has dwindled.
D. w. Teare, manager of the show,
has q novel idea about farming and
the powers Of electricity. He says
that electrification Of farm attacks
the farming problem at its roots in
that the power reduces the cost of
raising crops. Prices are difiicult to
control, he points out, even with the
huge expenditures Of buying up sur
plus products.
Device Averts Loss.
He took this electric hot-bed as an
example. When a farmer loses all
Evening star., 1940-05-08

his plants by unexpected cold, the
cost Of raising that crop goes up.
The electric hot-bed will eliminate
this loss and the profits with the
weather hazard removed, rise.
The University of Maryland Ex-
tension Service has an exhibit Of
home made devices to be used on
the electrified farm. One of them is
the pig brooder, which is used in
place of the sow to keep the litter
warm. It eliminates the possibility
of losing half Of them when the SOW
rolls over for a stretch, crushing
them to death. The brooder, just a
little triangle wooden pen heated
by an ordinary light bulb, never
wants to stretch.
Albert " Krewatch, r. E. A. speci-
alist of the extension service, said
that a few years ago Maryland
Evening star., 1940-05-08

farmers lost 5000 pigs In = cold
winter.
An electric brooder for baby chicks
Is also shown by the extension
service. Mother hen can keep on
laying without being bothered about
warming her latest brood.
Mechanical Cow Displayed.
The exhibit has q mechanical COW
on display. It's q mounted Holstein
that wags her tail and ears, breathes
and does everything but kick over
the milk bucket. There's no bucket
there; Bossy demonstrates q me-
chanical milking machine.
The old blacksmith shop is elilni-
mated on the electrified farm by q
repair shop that includes a lathe,
drill press, band saw. grindstone
and welding machine. The r. E. A.
has a model shop set up that many
a youngster has cast admiring
eyes on.
And as for the housewife, she can
have everything her city cousin has.
Washing and sewing machines. from
ers, vacuum cleaners, electric ice
boxes, electric ranges-everything
invented that eases her tasks.
The farm home is taking on new
beauty with the addition Of electric
lights. The women Of Charles
County contributed an exhibit Of
lamps that formerly burned kero-
sene and were converted for use Of
electricity by the simple operation OF
replacing the burners with light
sockets.
Another weather hazard elimina-
tor shown is the electric driven
pump for irrigation. Farmers who
raise small crops often are ruined
by a single hot dry spell.
The r. E. A. has electrified only
about 1000 of the 5000, 900 farms
In the country which lack this power

industry is now undergoing revolu-
tionary change through the program

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

SANDWICHES

SANDWICHES
To many mothers the beginning
Of school means the beginning Of a
long season Of lunch packing. The
prospect Of making sandwiches I'VE
days a week for forty weeks Is
enough 10 discourage all but the
most versatile OF women.
Sandwich Filings offer an excel
lent opportunity 10 use leftover
meats. Roasts and meat loaf may
be sliced. Ground leftover meat
mixed with salad dressing and chop
ped onion spreads easily and tastes
good. Leftover liver is particularly
good this way and many people will
eat liverwurst or ground liver sand
wich spread who dislike the flavor
Of hot liver.
Peanut butter is a favorite with
children. Peanut butter mixed with
grated carrots and ground raisins or
with ground raisins alone makes a
desirable change.
Cheese is particularly important
as sandWich filing IL milk is not
carried every day. One ounce Of
cheese is about equal in calcium to
one glass Of milk. Besides sliced
cheese sandwiches, grated cheese
blends well with vegetables such as
peas, carrots. chopped lettuce. and
tomatoes or with eggs or chopped
bacon.
Scrambled eggs or chopped hard
cooked eggs may be used in many
sandwich combinations. Salad dress
ing. chopped onion, chopped bacon.
leftover cooked vegetables. chopped
raw vegetables, bacon, ham, or left
over ground roast meat are some Of
the possibilities for varying egg
sandwich filling.
Many children tire Of white bread
every day. Whole wheat or cracked
wheat bread. Boston brown bread.
oatmeal bread, raisin bread, and
nut bread provide such a variety
from which TO choose that sandwich
bread need never be monotonOus.
Mothers who are anxious to teach
their children to like the more nu-
tritious whole grain breads may
start by using one slice Of the new
bread along with one slice Of the
customary white. Then, too, the
most popular sandwich filings may
be put inside the new kind Of bread.
Homemade boiled salad dressing
is cheaper than most commercial
salad dressings or mayonaise. Com
mercial salad dressings are rich in
oil and so may be difficult for chill
dren to digest The following in
gradients may be used to make
n Z a
salt, teaspoon mustard, table,
spoon sugar. 10 tablespoons -four,
l tablespoon butter. 80 cup miIk, /

thickened add the beaten egg. Add

Lieut-COL Frank ]. Stephenson
General Manager Of The Riess
Company Plant At Greenwood

Mr.. Stephenson was born In Wa
verify, Iowa, migrating with his fam
lily to Nebraska and later TO CalifOr-
MIA. and has enjoyed a varing ca
reer, beginning his business life by
teaching school and studying law.
In 1900 he was sent to Manila in
the employ of the Ordnance Depart
ment OF the United States Of Amer
ica.
In 1904 he returned to this coun-
try, having been ordered to the
WatertOwn, Mass, Arsenal, where he
conducted special work which
brought him prominently before his
superiOrs of the Ordnance Depart
ment. The year following this he
was sent to the Waterliet Arsenal
of New York as Chief Clerk, which
position he retained until the year
1910, when he resigned and accepted
a position as the head of the Pro-
ductiOn Department of the Walter
A. Wood Moving and Reaping Ma
chine Company. After three years
in this capacity he resigned and be-
came cost expert of the National
Association of Stove Manufacturers.
In 1917 at the outbreak of the
World War he offered his services to
the Ordnance Department and was
commissioned as Major. He served
as Administrative Ohicer of the Pro-
duction Division until after the Arm
istice. He was then assigned to du-
ties in the Administrative Division
which placed him in charge of many
Administrative duties. including the
making of an audit of all expendi-
lures of all war time appropriations
and expenditures, aggregating some
what over fourteen billion dollars.
At this time he was made Lieuten-
ant Colonel and still holds this COM
mission in the reserve.
In 1919 he resigned from the army
to accept a position with the Van
Blerk Motor Company and later on
was associated with the Abram Cox
Stove Company Of Philadelphia and
the Buckwalter Stove Company in
Pa.
In 1925 he retired to private life
in California, but soon returned to
active work and was associated with
