COUNTY FARMERS
PLAN INCREASE
OF PRODUCTION

Plans for participation of Worces-
ter County farmers in the national
program for increased production of
certain agricultural commodities most
urgently needed in the defense effort,
will be made at meeting on October
31st, it is announced by r. Aida Jones,
Chairman of the County USDA De-
Tense Board. The meeting will be
held at the Court House, Snow Hill,
and will start at $50 A. M.
In addition to members of the
County Defense Board, the meeting
will be attended by county AAA COM
mitteemen, agricultural leaders, rep
resentatives of homemakers' organi-
cations, and others interested in the
increased food production program.
The morning session will be de-
voted principally to establishing
county goals for production in 1912.
Members of the State USDA Defense
Board, and others, will be present to
explain the aims and purposes of the
national program and to give infor-
nation regarding the goals which
Maryland as a State has accepted in
that program. Facts will be present.
ed on production of the various COM
modities in Maryland and in this coun-
ty as basis for determining county
goals. Tentative county goals have
been set up by the State Defense
Board, which will be considered by
those attending the meeting and it
will be determined whether increases
or decreases should be made in the
case of some commodities.
The national program calls for a
canvass of all farmers to learn the part
each may play in meeting the desired
production. The afternoon session, he
states, will consist primarily of MAX
ing definite plans for contracting all
farmers in Worcester County and
learning how much of the several
commodities they expect to produce in
1912, compared with their produc-
ton this year, together with infrom-
ing them regarding the needs to in
sure success of the defense program.

ties.
Pedestrian deaths continue to lead
all other types, followed closely by
Motor Vehicle with Motor Vehicle, and
then, Motor Vehicle with Fixed OBJ
jects. An analysis of the accident
causes reveals the same old story of
speed. Drivers and pedestrians alike
will not take the time to be safe. They
take all kinds of chances to save a
few seconds, and in so doing, cause
a serious accident with it's resultant
loss of life or serious injuries. A few
seconds saved in traffic will not save
a life, but may take one.

Farmers asked 10
Care For Machinery
Needed Ports Should
Be Bought And
Stored Now

Because the national defense pro-
gram is expected to make it in
creasingly difficult TO obtain new
machinery and repair parts, l. w.
Carson, County Agent, suggests that
Holmes County farmers keep their
implements in gool running condi-
lions, store them under cover, and
get repair parts that will be need
ed next year, as soon as possible.
Mr.. Carson says that even small
amounts of fertilizer left in fertili-
ger compartments of corn planters,
grain drills or other planting machin-
cry, are likely to aus corosion and
harden, clogging the distributing eq-
uipment at planting time next spring.
Farmers often leave tools, nails,
screws and bolts in seed boxes and
fertilizer compartments. When these
are overlooked in the spring planting
rush, machinery may be seriously
damaged.
In the matter of repairs the Coun-
ty Agent reminds local farmers that
repair parts should be ordered by
catalogue numbers, to insure proper
operations. Also, he emphasizes that
the operators instruction book should
be followed carefully if best results
are to be obtained. Operating in
struction books and repair catalo-
CUES should be kept for future re-
ference.
