PLANS MADE FOR
COUNTY FARMERS
FOR PRODUCTION

All farmers in Worcester are urged
to cooperate with representatives of
their County Defense Board, who are
charged with making an every-farm-
er canvass in connection with the pro-
gram for increased production of GER
tain badly needed food commodities.
When such a representative comes
to your farm, he will explain the ma
tional production goals that have been
established for 1912, and the goals
that have been set up for the State
Of Maryland and for your county, as
their share in the national program.
The program is entirely voluntary,
according to DR.. T. B. Symons, direc-
tor of the University of Maryland ex-
tension service, but he points out that
it is important for every farmer to
have q part in meeting the needed
goals. The program, he states, is de-
signed to achieve production of need
ed farm products, increased income,
and at the same time maintain the
best possible balance of good farm
management.
You will be asked various questions
DIR. Symons states, about your cur
rent production of certain crops and
foods which are so vitality needed now

will be asked also, he says, how
much of these products you expect
to produce during the coming year.
Maryland farmers are asked to in
crease production of milk, eggs,
meats and certain canned vegetables.
More gardens and vegetables for use
in the fresh form and for preserving
and storing are important items in
the program.

problem for each individual farmer
to consider most carefully is the par

British Determine
To Hold Islands
Against Axis Push
BY EDWARD w. BEATTIE, JR.

LONDON, April 25 CUP)-Great
Britain intends to hold the Island
of Crete, 10 miles south of the
Greek mainland, it was under
stood today. Hopes were expressed
that with the aid of the British
Navy. the British and Greeks would
be able to hold or seize other i'm
portant islands in the Aegean Sea,
including the Italian Dodecanese.
1t was said in we'll informed quar-
ters that the British expeditionary
force had not started to evacuate
Greece but that with the remaining
Greek froce it continued to hold
fast a line extending down from
the Themopylae area to the Gulf
of Cornith.
This meant that the allied line
had been bent back on the left 10
the greatest possible extent in ord
er that short line might be held.
Reports from Athens said that the
Greeks( on the left flank, had
withdrawn from the Agrinion area
of southwestern Greece and this
was taken to mean that, with the
British, they had already taken
new line farther south and east,
anchored on the gulf.
1t was admitted that the fight for
Greece was nearing its end.

HISTORY IN REVERSE

History is written at a terrific
pace these days, which is one roa-
son why those who find in the
changed order a great deal Of
reason for dismay should not yield
too readily to the impulses OF des-
pair. Take the case OF Ethiopia
as an example Of how swiftly the
status of nation can be altered.
Less than six years ago-on Oc-
tober l, Marshal De Bono
and General Graziani began the at
tack which was destined soon to
bring an ancient and an untamed
land under Italian subsection. The
Italians. II will be recalled, were
expeditions and ruthless. They
bombed the pitiable little mud-hut
villages OF the natives, blasting de-
fenseless women and children to
fragments. Captured tribal chief
tains were taken up three or four
thousand feet in planes and pushed
out into space for the intimidation
OF their followers. Mass execu-
lions were common means Of
breaking the spirit OF the Ethiop-
ians.
But quite a change has taken
place since then. De Bono has
been lost in obscurity. Marshal
Pietro Badoglio, who in May. 1895.
completed the conquest OF the
land, has fallen into. disfavor and
resigned as supreme commander OF
1taly's armed forces.
Meanwhile. in Ethiopia, Italian
garrisons are cut off by the British
from supplies and reinforcements
and are facing massacre by the
rebellious tribesmen. while Emper.
or Halle Selassie is receiving
pledges OF loyalty from tribal lead
ers.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

OF the Balkans and Austria are in
Inundated merely. All these areas
have to be militarily occupied-not
occupied by a few secret agents
alone. Russia and Turkey are
scared. Italy may turn anti-Hitler
(anti-Mussolini, incidentally, any
old time. France naturally is sim
mering, too.
The conclusion is that keeping
all this territory under his thumb
is due to spread Adolf's soldiery
out remarkably thin.
The forecast is that, sooner or
later, they'll gang up altogether
and he'll find it a heck Of a stunt
to squelch 'em all at once.
