Farmers Of Virginia
To Get Help in Filing
Loan Applications
Form Credit Officials
Also Ready to Aid
Morylunders

To assist Virginia farmers in
filing emergency crop and feed
loan applications, J. G. Beverley of
Winchester, field supervisor of the
Farm Credit Administration, an
nounced he will be in the Office of
County Agricultural Agent j. E.
Beard at Fairfax Wednesday from
l to 4 pm.
Before coming to Fairfax Mr.. Bev-
erley will receive applications from
Prince William farmers in the Office
of County Agent F. D. Cox, Manas-
sas, Wednesday morning.
In Maryland, G. T. Umberger, field
supervisor of the Emergency Crop
and Feed Loan Office, advised inter
ested farmers to contact their
county agent or write or call him
in the Federal Land Bank Building
Twenty-fourth and St. Paul streets,
Baltimore
Mr.. Beverley explained the new
loan will be similar to the former
one furnishing credit to farmers for
the purchase Of seed, fertilizer and
other supplies, or for expenses incl
dent to the production of cash crops
for market. In the case of farmers
who raise livestock rather than
crops. the loans are made for the
purchase of feed and other expenses
in connection with animal hus-
bandry.
Last year the supervisor said 125
farmers secured emergency loans in
the Northern Virginia district COM
prising Clarke, Fairfax, Fauquier,
Frederick. Loudoun, Prince William,
Shenandoah. Stafford and Warren
Counties. Since the program first
started in the area, 1875 farmers
have received help. and a salts
factory percentage of the loans have
been repaid.
Emergency crop and feed loans are
primarily intended to serve at low
cost that large group of farm owners
and tenants who are experienced
farmers but who do not have suf-
ficient collateral to obtain loans from
the production credit associations
or local banks, and who at the same
time do not need rehabilitation.
At the present time, Mr.. Beverley
explained, the maximum amount
loaned to any one individual is S400
with a per cent interest charge.
No inspection or service fees are
charged.

Diphtheria Deaths Drop
From 200 10 I in 70 Years
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, Feb. ia sharp
drop in diphtheria cases and deaths
in Maryland in the last 20 years was
shown today in a report by DR.. R.
H. Riley, director of the State De-
partment of Health.
There were $500 cases of diph-
liberia and nearly 200 deaths in
1920. BY 1880 the cases reported
had dropped to 100 and deaths to
so. Last year, DR.. Riley said. there
we're only 153 cases and seven
deaths.
DR.. Riley attributed the marked
decrease largely to the use of "tox-
old" as a preventive and said the
health department was looking for
ward to the time when every child
in the State" is thus protected.
Of the seven deaths last year, six
occurred in the counties and one
in Baltimore city. Eight counties
Allegany, Calvert, Garrett, Hartford,
Howard, Kent, Queen Annes and
Somerset-reported no diphtheria
cases last year.

Maryland Roads Head
DiscIaims Proposed
Toll Highway 10 D. {.
Kennedy Announces Bill
For S30, 600, 900 Super
Road to Baltimore
Rv the Associated Press.

ANNAPOLIS, Feb. 17.-Reports
the Legislature would be asked to
approve a s3O,O0000O bond issue for
a new Washington-Baltimo super
highway drew a prompt disclaimer
today from the State Roads Com
mission.
Gov. O'Conor said he had heard
some comments along the same line
but emphasized he would take no
stand on the proposal until he had
received word from the roads COM
mission
Former Representative Kennedy
had announced earlier from Balti-
more that he had prepared a bill
calling for construction of a pro-
posed toll super highway and that
it would be introduced tonight or
tomorrow.
The bill would authorize the roads
commission to build the highway
and to finance it without cost to the
State by the sale of bonds to private
capital. The project would be self
iquidating and tolls would elimi-
nate the need for Federal or State
aid, he said. The debt, it is be-
lieved, could be liquidated in ap-
proximately 20 years.
Sources here said they believed
such a bill would represent a plan
of banking and engineering inter
ests independent of any State
agency.
Chairman Ezra B. Whitman of
the Roads Commission said in Bal
timore such legislation would not
have the commissions approval "be-
cause we haven't studied such a plan
at all.
I'VE don't know whether it's feas-
ible or practicable" Mr.. Whitman
added III tell you this much: If
I could get a contract for a road
like that, at 6 per cent interest, I'd
build it, retire, and go to Hawaii"
The road was proposed to the
commission three or four months
ago by J. E Greiner & Co., consult
ing engineers.

~ tho aseoc;a+a5 prarr

BY the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, Feb. 17.-Firemen
sought today to determine the cause
of a 14-alarm blaze that wrecked
four buildings and threw about $50
employees of the Maryland Sanitary
Manufacturing Co. temporarily out
of work.
The arson squad and the salvage
corps of the Baltimore Fire Depart
ment were investigating Saturday
nights blaze and it was expected the
F. B. l. also might investigate, since
the company, which makes stoves
and sanitary appliances, was en-
gagged through jobbers in turning
out products for national defense
housing purposes.
T. T. Alverson, general manager,
said about $50 employees would be
out of work temporarily, but about
$50 more were scheduled to continue
work today in other buildings.
There was no official estimate of
the loss, but fire department Off
cials said damage probably would
run into hundreds of thousands of
dollars"

Bressler fund was combined with
Federal money and used for the
erection and furnishing of the Bress-
