FARMING BY THEORY

Chief result of the Soil Conserva-
ton tactics in this area has been
complete loss of public conf
dence. This is partly due to the
rather high-handed tactics of var
ious soil administration officials.
Instead of attempting to apply
methods which would fit the local
picture, officials apparently tried
to fit the local situation into their
own preconceived ideas on theo-
retical farming. Sources of local
information such as the county ag-
ricultural agent and local farm or
CARNATIONS were ignored.
When some of the officials from
Washington were looking into the
situation last winter they were
astounded at the utter lack of SUI
pervision and inspection done by
line officials. In other words the

LEGAL EMPLOYMENT
IS STEADILY RISING
Employment Service Is
Urging All to Register;
Housing Survey Made

Recent appeals for workers by
the Maryland State Employment
Service is a further indication that
local industries are fast getting
into high-speed production stride.
The local employment service
stated today that additional manu-
facturers have placed orders with
them for labor of practically all
types, and every effort is being
made to encourage men and wO-
men to register for these positions.
AS has been the case for many
months. skilled mechanics are ex-
tremely scarce. However, many
employers are asking fer vocation
al trainees who have completed
courses in the local school. There
is still an ample supply of unskilled
laborers, according to employment
office officials.
Local men and women are being
given preference by the employ
ment office. This has been the
policy of the Service for years. EN-
plOyers, too, are insisting that To-
cal help be referred to them and it
is for this reason that the Employ
ment office urges all men and
women to register as soon as pos
sible.
One of the largest industries in
Hagerstown - the Fairchild Air
craft Corp. - is employing scores
OF trainees, these young men be-
ing assigned to the company by
the employment service. Addition
al men are being employed each
week and with the completion of
the new plant hundreds more will
be required. AS a result of this an
ticipated increase in personnel eff
forts are being made by the en-
ployment service to recruit men for
the training classes now being op-
Grated "a hours each day. Other
industries. unable to get mechanics
with years of experience are calling
on the Employment Service for
trainees. In al, no less than 100
trainees will pass through the local
school under the program as set
up at the present time.
With the increase in employ
ment in Hagerstown some study
has been given to the question of
housing. A survey made here this
week by government representa-
tives indicated that there is no i'm
mediate shortage of living quarters
at present, but that in all probable
ity a housing problem will develop
quickly if further industrial ex-
panSiOn gets under way. The re-
port definitely indicated that there
is no surplus of housing - in other
words the situation is just about at
capacity. This survey further prov
ed the wisdom of local employers
in insisting on local labor, it was
said. In many communities, where
outside labor is employed, it has
become necessary to arrange for
housing of new workers and their
families, and this in turn has de-
veloped into a serious problem.

MARyLA AND MERRY-GO-ROljND-
Washington, D. c., April Is

/ Washington, D. c., April Is -
If federal investigators really go
into the Soil Conservation Service
! in Washington County they will
find plenty of things to worry about.
How some of the inefficiencies have
escaped the attention of Washing
ton thus far is hard to understand
For instance, Ed COnklin, a farm
er not far from Hagerstown. owns
about seventy acres with a value
of around $4,000. Ed signed up
for the governments conservation
program on his farm. and before
the government finished, it had
spent around $4,000 on Eds $4,000
acreage.
The job of terracing Conklin's
acres was supervised by C. A
Frye who is now Chief Engineer
Of the Northeastern region. All
during the winters of 1885 and
1886, CCC labor crews hauled dirt
to patch up the terraces but the
terraces did ont hold. Finally the
trouble was corrected by the eff
forts of two low ranking technici-
ans.
But in the end, Ed Conklin de-
cided that terracing his farm was
not particularly good for conserva-
ton and three years later the ter
races were entirely plowed down
and obliterated. 1t has been said
that a doctors mistakes are bur-
led, but an engineers mistakes be-
come a monument to his ignorance.
Fortunately for the Soil COnserva-
ton Service this particular monu-
ment has been destroyed by Ed
Conklin's pillow.
Another Washington County far
mer is Don yesterday who had
about "a acres treated for soil ero-
sion at a cost of about $1,000 to
the government and a cost of about
$50 to him. Then there is also the
case Of Frank Mullendore who had
22 acres treated by the government
at cost of $4,000 to the govern
ment and about $50 to him.

with more ana more candidates
getting into the Congressional
race as time drags on, political
dopesters are now figuring that
Katherine Byron's chances of be.
ing named the Democratic nom-
nee are improving. Within the
past few weeks, candidates have
popped out of five of the six
counties, the sixth being Garrett
predomnently COP strong
hold. In AlIegany County, four
candidates have been served up
to the customers for the custo-
mary "once overs" with only one
-Davey Lewis-being given
tumble. In this county there
have been no political blasts
against Frederick County's entry
State Senator Funk-who, while
comparatively unknown, seems to
have "cIicked" in small way.
Out of the entire list, only one,
Pres Lane, seems to have what
it takes, for cinch victory. But
unfortunately he amt playing in
this alley SO there amt no sense
in induIging in wishful Wishin'.
Drew Pearson, Maryland Mer-
ry-Go-Round columnist, tells us
that Senator Willard Tydings
won't kick over the milk pail if
Davey Lewis becomes a candi-
date for Congress, but that he
looks with annoyance at the pros
pect of Preston Lane stepping
into that post. The reason for
this, the Washington writer says
is that "Congressman" Lane
would be in position, come
1914, to aspire to the seat now
occupied by Willard. Methinks
the Senator need not worry about
Lane building up political pres
tige on Congressional Band
wagon in order to give Willard
run in "A. AS former Attor-
ney General of Maryland, and
the present Democratic National
Committeeman, he can sail along
on his record, which is good
one, and let nature take it's
course. If Lane ever announces
for the United States Senate
there won't be handful of voters
in the Free State inquiring:
"Who is that guy?"
The draft endorsement of Gen.
eraI Lane several days ago, by
the State Central Committee of
Washington County, has placed
these same political dopesters
out on rail. This endorsement
followed statement by the Gen.
eraI that he would not be a can
didate for Congress, and looking
at the Central Committees &C.
ton from this distance, one is
really not surprised. The CON-
mittee is only telling the general
that, as far as they are concern
ed, he is still the head man.
But-and have this on good
authority-endorsement or no
endorsement - the Democratic
National Committeeman will stick
to his origina! statement that as
far as becoming candidate for
that office, we'll OTIS gotta be
somebody else, not me-" Reason
for this, | understand, is not that
he hates to live in Washington
but that when he goes there he
would like to rent a house for

men who met the public as repre-.
sentatives of the Soil COnserva-
ton Service had practically no
guidance from superiors, and the
superiors knew nothing of the
progress or lack of it in the field.
Principal measurement of ac
complishment was the number OF
agreements signed with farmers tC
carry on soil conservation prac
tees. Emphasis was on the large
number of agreements signed, and
there was little or no effort to
learn what these documents involv-
ed. This looseness of supervision
and inspection within the organiza-
ton may explain why people voted
thumbs down" on some proposed

BUREAU ILL WILL
A few of the men in the ranks
of the service are struggling to
maintain good public relations and
render public service, but they are
finding the back drag of administra-
tive inefficiency serious handicap.
Some of the field technicians well
come constructive suggestions from
supervisors with a practical con-
ceptiOn of farming, but they have
little regard for the impractical
puppets of the various Soil Conser-
walton Offices.
Another difficulty with the Serv-
ice is jealousy against subordinate
officials who make good. For in
stance, one of the employees of
the HagerstOwn Soil Conservation
Service project, j. c. Tignor, was
furloughed because he was given a
low efficiency rating. This mans
immediate superior, B. d. Gilbert,
Area Conservationist, who made
the rating, refused to discuss with
Tignor the reasons for this low rat
ing; and he was furloughed.
TignOr's associates claim that
he had an excellent record and was
one of the most capable men ever
stationed in the Hagerstown office.

Rouge plant for fortnight early
in April.
Rausch explained that $3.50
motors were required daily TO
maintain capacity production in
all plants. Daily output Of recent
weeks, he said has been 800
motors. necessitating use Of re-
serve supplies which now have
become exhausted.
OTHER UNITS NORMAL
Although other divisions of
the Rouge plant, which has been
operating on q six-day schedule
to make up time lost by the
strike, are running normally,
Rausch said, it was Difficult to
say definitely whether the as
sembly line or the branch plants
would resume operations Mon
day.
About 5000 employees were
made idle by the motor shortage
at the Rouge plant, he said, and
an equal number In the branch
plants at Atlanta, Buffalo, Edge

phis, Norfolk, Va; st. Paul,

Oil


Oil executives here, while de.
clining to permit use of their
names, generally believed that
the fuel situation in the east
might become critical. The pres
ident of one company, however,
said he believed nobody's going
to have to 60 without gasoline.
"If il wasn't for hysteria and
the psychology of war" ne as
serted, lit would be possible to
settle down to real business and
solve the situation, providing no
more tankers are requisitioned."
He suggested a wider use of
barRes on the Mississippi and
Ohio rivers to send oil into the
east by inland routes, and the
lowering of octane rating OF
gasoline to stretch 1t farther"
Until new pipe lines and tank
ers become available, the indus
try must rely heavily on tank
cars and barges. Increasing the
flow of existing pipelines NOV
ing eastward from Oklahoma,
Texas and Kansas was possible.
Some lines carrying gasoline
westward from the eastern refin-
ing centers may be reversed and
crude oil sent eastward.
There are crude oil trunk
lines into the Chicago area, but
they taper off in Ohio. Refin-.
cries in the Chicago and Ohio
areas might extend their mar
keting through tank cars and
barges eastward to take up
some of the territory formerly
covered by seaboard refineries.
The industry has about $50
tankers on order in American
shipwards. Six have been de-
livered and 81 more are ex-
pected this year.
There was the possibility that
p foreign tankers taken over in
western hemisphere ports might
be obtained for coastwise serv-
ice, and that tankers now on the
Pacific coast would be trans
ferred to Atlantic service.
Two $40, 100000 pipe lines
from Texas to New York, one
for crude oil and one for gaso-
lire, each doing tn ework Of so
to IS tankers, have been pro.
posed. But they would require
more than q year to construct.
Consumption of petroleum in
the east has been about 10 per-
cent greater this year than last.
Gasoline stocks in the east now
are estimated by. the American
Petroleum Institute at FL ,657 900
barrels, with residual fuel-oil
stocks At 100000 barrels, and
8, O6O, 900 barrels in gas oil and
distillate stocks.
Such stocks constitute 80 to
45-day supply.
