Use Of Propaganda
As War Weapon

The continued use Of propaganda
leaflets by the opposing forces in World
War II-by the r. A. F. over France and
the Japanese over the Philippines, for
example-recalls similar tactics used dur
ing World War I, especially direct ap-
peals to the German populace.
In that war, President Wilson often
appealed to the German people over
the heads of their government, but with
little or no success until the German
Armies were faced with military defeat.
In his very address to the Congress,
April 2, 1917, asking for a declaration
of war, the President drew line between
the German people and their govern
ment.
1--WE have no quarrel with the German
people," Wilson said. TT was not upon
their impulse that their government
acted in entering this war It was not
with their previous knowledge or ap-
prevail"
In rejecting the Pope's peace media
ton, on August 27, 1917, Wilson said
again that only the German people
could be trusted, not the government
which had made itself master Of them.
In suggesting IA points of peace on
January 8, 1918, Wilson demanded to
know whether the German spokesman
with whom these terms might be dis
cusSed were spokesmen "for the Reichstag
majority or for the military party and
the men whose creed is imperial domi-
nation"
Still the German people showed no
inclination to overthrow their masters.
We know now that German morale at
home was distintegrating, but primarily
because of scarcity Of food and war
WEAKNESS. In the spring Of 1918 the
German armies won smashing victories
in France.
When Germany began to suffer mill
tary defeat in the latter part of 1918,
Wilson was more successful in his at
tempt to drive a wedge between the
German people and its government. In
answer to peace overtures, from AustI "a
Hungary as well as from Germany, the
American President made it clear that
he would deal with no German govern
ment which was not responsible to the
German people. There was nothing for
Germany to do but to change her war
time government, putting it more and
more under the control of the Reichstag,
and the Germany with which first an
armistice, and then peace, was signed,
was, IN name. q republic with . parlia-
mentary form Of government.

FROM MARYLAND FARMS

With bumper crops of fruits and
vegetables reported all over the
State, Marylanders don't have to
worry about the sources of their
daily supply of necessary vitamins,
DR.. R. H. Riley, Director of the
State Health Department, pointed
out in calling attention to the fol-
lowing bulletin from the Nutrition
list of the Department.
"Marylanders are very fortunate
in the abundance of fruits and vege-
tables, rich in natures vitamins,
that are ripening in farms and gar
dens all over the State. Sweet corn,
lima beans, peppers tomatoes, okra,
watermelons, cantaloupes, peaches
to mention just few of them--are
all available now, and will be for
several weeks to come.
Cali of them are sources of i'm
portant Vitamins--C and A among
them Both of these vitamins are
aids in strengthening the resistance
of the tissues of the body to in
lection. Vitamin c also helps to
build strong bones and teeth and is
an aid in keeping the gums healthy.
Large quantities of Vitamin A are
required for growth and develop
ment.
make all possible use of these
home grown fruits and vegetables
for the table, while in season. Dry,
or can the surplus and put away for
us next winter. If you have more
than your family and your friends
can use, offer what you can spare
to the local committee that is ar
ranging for school lunches for next
winter.

In q short time thousands Of
Maryland boys and girls will be re-
turning to their schools. Maryland
is generous with it's educational OPP
portunities but do all of its citizens
take advantage of them. How many
people realize that at Overlea, just
seven miles from the center of Bal
timore, is situated one of the finest
schools of the blind in this country?
The Maryland School for the
Blind is a boarding school, con-
Quoted on the cottage family plan,
there being cottage for the
younger boys, one for the older
boys, one for the younger girls and
one for the older girls, in each of
which is householder, housekeep-
er, cook and several teachers. Every
effort is made to keep the cottoges
homelike so that the pupils will feel
that they belong to them. Teachers
living in the cottages are in charge
of a table at meal times. In this
way they help the pupils cultivate
certain social qualities that are
necessary and important.
If the parents cannot afford to
pay, the school provides free edu-
cation for children of Maryland and
the District of Columbia who have
defective eye sight and cannot pro-
gress satisfactorily in the public
schools. Tuition, board, room and
laundry, medicine and medical at
tendance, books and all other ap-
pliances necessary for the education
are furnished. Students from other
states may be admitted on payment
of 100000.
Children may enter at the age of
five, in order to attend the kinder
garten The educational program
cares for the child's needs thru
the first ten years Of his academic
training. The last two years Of his
high school course is generally OBJ
tanned at one of the high schools in
Baltimore.
The grounds are indeed spacious
and beautiful Some is in woodland
but good portion of the one hun
dred acres is given over to the rails
ing of vegetables and fruits which
add much to the well balanced meals
served the pupils.

DIsUsED AUTOMOBILES

Already about 100000 automo-
biles and trucks have been taken off
the roads by existing restrictions,
according to figures reported to the
National Automobile Dealers asso-
station. Considering gasoline ra-
tioning in II states, and the poor
chances for getting new tires for
many months, it is perhaps remark
able that only 100000 cars have
SO far been withdrawn from oper-
alton.
Perhaps many business people,
sensing the coming shortage of tires,
have considered it prudent to store
some of their machines. There are
plenty of ancient chariots still run
ming around, and public safety gains
something when outworn cars are
4lnally dismemhered,

SMALL INCOME TAX EXENIP-
TIONS LIKELY

In addition to the reduction of
20% to $50 in income taxes which
Governor O'Conor has announced he
will recommend to the 1943 Legis-
lature, it is likely that many hun
dreds of Marylanders whose State
income tax would be under $500 or
$1,000 may be exempted altogether.
At the Governors suggestion, an
analysis is now being made by the
fiscal officers of the State to ascer-
tain how much in taxes had been
paid by persons whose returns were
less than the amounts stated. Dis
cussions already held by the Cover
nor with tax experts of the State
indicate that great many tax
payers in the lowest brackets could
be excused altogether without a
great loss to the State.
Governor O'Conor has announced
that his present plan is to propose
reduction in income taxes UP to
2O% or 259 He declared that the
States unprecedented surplus will
warrant such reduction, after an
amount is frozen" for post war pro-
jects, and after emergencies, in
Guiding salary adjustments, are
made. AS of the first of the present
month the State surplus was S.
331,976.90. 1t is expected that be-
fore September 3Oth, the end of the
fiscal year, the surplus will amount
to $9.200,OO0.
Another fact pointed to, as indi-
eating the ability of the State to
reduce income taxes, is that the
yield is considerably more than was
anticipated. In the period from
October 1, 1941, to July 81, 1912,
a total of $9,343,153.25 was re-
ceived, whereas during the period
from October 1, 1910, to July 81,
1941, the receipts were $6,21S,-
807.40.

COOPERATE FOR VICTORY

In a redoubled effort to meet
their food production goals. the
farmer members of Southern States
Cooperative throughout the organi-
zation's territory of Virginia, Mary
land, Delaware, and West Virginia
are launching Cooperate for
Victory" program September 8 in
which substantially all of the
12S,OOO members are expected to
participate.
The program was originated be-
cause of the shortage of man power
both in the cooperative and in the
several hundred local service agen-
cies affiliated with it as well as be-
cause of the limitations on travel.
Farmers are encouraging coopera-
ton wherever it will be advanta-
geous both to themselves and to the
attention to the pooling of trans
portation of supplies going to the
farm and of produce going from
farm to market
Tremendous savings in both man
power and transportation would re-
suit from this self help action on
the part of many thousand farm
ers," w. G. Mysor, general manager
of Southern States Cooperative, de-
clared. 'It is highly necessary. that
farmers pay closer attention than
ever before to the details of farming
if the armed forces and civilian
population of the United Nations
are to be fed.
"No worker in any plant or place
anywhere has more vital or essen
tial part to play in the winning OF
the war than the man on the land
Only farm production of heretofore
undreamed of magnitude will save
this nation and it's allies from a fatal
food shortage.
"The farmers assignment is 6
tough one, but not so tough as the
courage, the perseverance, and the
ingenuity, the skill, the thrift ant
the will to win of people who
have planted in faith since the days
of the Pilgrim Fathers and har
vested with gratitude to Almighty
God," Mr.. Wysor said.

Great Care Is Needed
In Harvesting Herbs

For improving the flavor Of most
dishes cooked during the winter
months, harvest and store some of
each herb grown in the garden.
Great care should be taken to cut
each one at the right time and then
to give them proper care before
putting them away for later use.
The stems, leaves and buds of the
leafy herbs should be gathered just
before the flowers open. Sunlight
tends to dissipate the natural spicy
fragrance contained in the oil of
the leaves, so these herbs should be
dried slowly in a room which per-
mits a free circulation Of air, but
which excludes sunlight. When
they are quite dry, they may be
crushed or powdered and stored
in clean covered glass jars. Be
sure that there is no moisture left
when storing them, or they will
mold and lose all their natural
flavor.
The herbs whose seeds are used,
such as anlSe, caraWay, coriander,
dill and fennel, should be harvested
as soon as they ripen. Cut off the
seed heads with as little stem as
possible and spread them on a clean
cotton cloth in room to dry for
a week or longer Turn them often
and when they are thoroughly dry
rub them through the hands to re-
lease the seeds from the chaff,
which may be winnowed out on a
dry day in a gentle breeze, or may
be famed away. When completely
dry and well cleaned, close the seeds
tightly in covered glass jars or
corked bottles till needed.

Specimen Crops Are
Grown for Novelty

If properly fertilized, cultivated
and watered. most of the vegetable
crops in our gardens will grow to
sufficient size and mature well
enough to supply the table with
good average size vegetables.
For the sake Of novelty, however,
some gardeners enjoy growing very
large sized prize specimens. In ad-
dltlon to the care recommended for
each crop, supplement your efforts
by these special tasks:
Dig the soil much deeper, trench
ing two spade lengths with well
rotted manure well mixed in to
avoid Jumps. This should be done
the fall before, if possible. Un-
derdrainage is especially desirable
unless rain fall is abundant. Guilt
vate frequently to keep out weeds
and form a dust mulch on the sur
face. Grow the plants farther apart
than usual so that each may have
all the food and moisture it can
absorb. Give an occasional appIi-
cation OF liquid manure, or give each
plant a tablespoon of good fertilizer
once week.
Pinch of the ends Of the leader
vines for vine crops, and keep all
superfiuous foliage removed; put a
little soil over each joint Of runners
which feed the fruit so they may
root; when the fruit has set pull of
all but one or two of the strongest.
For the root crop make holes 2
to feet deep and inches or more
in diameter with post hole digger.
and fill in with finely sifted soil
mixed with completely pulverized
rotted manure. Plant about six
seeds In each hole. but as they rrow
leave only one strong plant. Feed
and cultivate as recommended

Suggested Ways
ToOvercOne
Insecticide Supply
VIII Go Further
# Used Wisely

With supplies of all insecticides
and fungicides affected by the war
methods are suggested through
which the best use can be made of
the materials available. Lead for
lead arsenate, copper for Paris green
and Bordeaux for arsenic for
poisons are all used in defense work
and insecticides containing rotenone
are becoming more difficult to OBJ
tain since the plant roots from
which this material is made come
from the East Indies which is cut
off by the Japs and from South
America from which shipping is a
serious problem.
The War Production Board has
ruled that rotenone may be used
only in the production Of food crops
exclusive of cranberries, eggplant,
cucumbers, onions, peppers and
sweetcorn, leaving the chief use OF
that effective spray material in the
production of cabbage, beans and
tomatoes. The last named are best
protected from flea beetles while
the plants are small by frequent
dustings of rotenone as other in
secticides usually cause damage to
those plants. Control of worms in
cabbage should start soon after the
plants are set and rotenone duStS
are highly desirable after the heads
begin to form. Previous to that
time the leaves may be protected
by busting one part with Paris
green and nine parts OF hydrated
lime, by weight of the lime. The
plants may also be effectively
busted lightly with undiluted cal
cium arsenate.
Rotenone may be used in the pro-
lection of bean foliage from beetles
by using a dust composed of mag
nesium arsenate, one part by weight
with five parts of hydrated lime.
Calcium arSenate may be substituted
for the magnesium arsenate. An
other material, known as cryolite,
when mixed in the proportion of
six parts by weight with four parts
of busting sulphur or tale is an ef-
fective control for bean insects.
Cryolite should not be used with
lime since that combination will
cause severe burning of bean
foliage. II needed, applications of
rotenone should be made after the
pods begin to form.
1t is further urged that the right
material be used for the control of
the particular plant pest found on
the crop, that applications of ma
terials be complete but not excess
sive and that they be applied at
the proper time to insure the best
results from the materials.
