cles were turned over to the

our program Of knitting was for
foreign war relief" she said.
"This year we are only asking for
such priorities for garments for
foreign relief as will conclude our

'production has been voluntarily
jumped to 1870 and the War
Board cautioned over-expansion
there.
In the farm crop line the War
Board advised contracting the only
canning factory in. the County,
operated by Thomas & Company,
Gaithersburg, before planting
peas. Peas are being contracted
at $17l50 per ton and a 1870 in
crease was asked.
Farm gardens were stressed
and hay mixture of one and
one-half bushels of soybeans and
20 pounds sudan grass per acre
recommended.
Corn allotment is optional this
year, according to the letter, but
thought should be given to the
labor problem. The War Board
pointed out that essential agricul-
tural labor would be deferred by
agreement between General Her
shey and the Secretary of Agri-
culture. Deferment was also
asked for veterinarians.
A penalty for growing less than
800 or more than 1907 of the
potato allotment was assured. A
prevailing price of $3.50 per hun
dred pounds or ninety cents per
bushel was quoted.
Farmers who exceeded the wheat
acreage allotment last fall will
not be allowed TO destroy the ex-
cess now in order to maintain the
allotment. They will be charged
$1.O0 to re-measure the crop.
Wheat loans will be closed out
April % or the wheat will become
government property and a con-
tinuance of this service will be
dependent on a referendum May 2.
Soil building practices must be
applied by June 30, the Board
advises, which includes such items
as lime, phosphate and grass
seeding.
County farmers were reminded
OF different types of farm opera
ton financing which included land
bank loans, production credit,
seed loans, farm security loans
and short term credit from local
banks.
Particular attention to salvage
was urged and included scrap iron,
burlap, rubber and farm machin-
cry. Farmers were especially adj
vised to conserve rope as there
was none on the market.
An adequate supply Of cans,
jars, rubbers and lids for home
canning was assured.
Farmers were urged to contact
the Agricultural War Board for
further information.

State Guard Units
Win High Praise
In Army Parade
Commended By General
GerOw--GOv. O'COnOr Given
''Top Salute

One of the highlights of the
Army Day Parade, which was wit
messed in Baltimore by nearly half
a million people, was the splendid
showing made by the 1000 or more
members of the Maryland State
Guard from all sections of the
State.
From Western Maryland, South
ern Maryland, from the Eastern
Shore and from Baltimore City, the
various units marched with the
precision of the regulars and
elected the warmest commentator
from the many Army notables
gathered with Governor Herbert r.
O'Conor in the reviewing stand.
Commenting upon the showing
of the Maryland State Guard in the
Parade, Major General Leonard T.
Gerow, Commanding Officer of the
Goth Division, said: "The showing
OF the Maryland State Guard in to-
days Parade was splendid. Really,
they have been doing a grand job,
and have taken a great burden
from the shoulders of Military
Officials of this area during the
past four months. 1t would be fine
if some of the other States, which
are not so well protected now.
could do what Maryland has done
in the way of the State Guard. If
they could, thus lessening the task
Of the Federal Military authorities
with regard to local guarding and
protection, it would be possible to
concentrate attention upon the
training of our offensive forces, and
to train adequately the large
armies required in a relatively
short time"
Governor o'Conor, as top rank
ing reviewing officer, was accorded
the military salute of four ruffles,
which is the salute accorded only
to full Generals in the Army.
Montgomery County was repre-
scented by companies C, D, and the
Second Separate Engineers.

IN THE QUESTION of build

liz w Io AoA> " ooii'
ing civilian morale and
pushing the American people as
fast as possible toward the
necessary about war effort
there ar two distinct schools of
thought. Each group has the
identical result in view but are
far apart in methods. If it were
possible to ascertain which
method brings best results the
problem could be tremendously
simplifed but it is not possible
to determine results.
The official attitude has been
and still is-to keep the pub
lie protected from shocking
news. When bad news must
finally be given the policy is to
cushion the shock with a
simultaneous announcement OF
some favorable activity. Opposed
to this policy is a strong senti-
ment for handing out all
announcements-bad and good
as soon as possible. This method,
it is claimed, would not only be
conducive to a faster crystal
lization of sentiment but would
give the public a feeling Of
confidence in all official COM
muniques.
In either case
School it is presupposed
of that experts in
Thought handling propa-
ganda will prepare
all announcements concerning the
war effort. 1t is recognized to-
day that well directed propa-
ganda is one of the most essen
tial factors in warfare. Many
people frown on propaganda as
something undesirable - calcu-
lated to mislead and confuse.
This is likely due to the fact
that the word has been used
and abused so much in connec-
ton with subversive efforts. The
fact is, however, that propa-
ganda is to the national effort
exactly what advertising and
publicity is to big advertising
campaign or the annual drives
for community funds. The ques-
ton is as to time and method
of releasing.

| Might Be WrOng--BUT
By p. G.. STROMBERG-

practically all with whom I
come in contact share this view.
The consensus of thought in
support of this group seems to
be as follows: To begin with,
the American people do not
need bad news softened - they
can absorb the bad with the
good and always come back for
more. The ultimate purpose of
our civilian effort to direct all
energies toward winning the war
is best served by treating the
public as grown-ups. Men
aren't spur1ed to action by
pretty words. Straight think
ing is aided by presentation Of
unvarnished facts.
The only way yet found to
harden soldiers is to put them
through a tough period of
training. Ask any of the boys
serving in any branch of the
service whether the process of
his training has been softened.
Finally, and most
Public important, the
Wants American public, so
Facts accustomed to liv-
ing free from in
reference, needs to be shocked
and shaken. Just as we needed
Pearl Harbor to silence our now
extinct 1--WE hope) isolationists
and drive Americans to UNI
paralleled national unity we
need other shocking incidents to
hasten our people to war con-
seriousness.
Great Britain's leaders, long
known as master propagandists,
must have found that the best
interests are served by imme-
date announcement of bad
news. We have been told that
the English people react best
under clouds of adverse news.
Assuming that to be true is it
not reasonable to conclude that
sugar-coated and delayed an
nouncements in America serve
to retard rather than accelerate
our primary objective?
Human reactions result from
love, hate, fear, pride, anger,
self-preservation, etc. The more
any or all of these emotions are
stirred the quicker and more
pronounced the reaction.
