RUBBER ON THE FARM

Fred S. Sexauer, president of the
Dairymen's League Cooperative As
ISOLATION of New York, recently
touched on the need or giving tire
priorities to producing farmers.
The motor truck is as essential
to modern operation as the pillow.
Most farmers live a considerable
distance from consuming and dis
tributing centers. The truck pro-
vides the only agency for bringing
their prodce to market--and for
taking home machinery, feed and
other essential supplies.
As a result, the farm truck plays
a great part in feeding the people of
America. In many urban centers,
produce trucks bring practically all
of the farm-produced foods that the
people must have. If truck transport
is stopped, there will be an extrem-
ely serious food problem in all parts
of the country.
The rationing authorities must
bear this in mind. Means must be
found of supplying rubber for the
trucks which move our food from
farm to market.

EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM TIC
STRESS NEED OF SAVING
TIRES, GASOLINE

An extensive educational program
to stress the necessity of reduced
maximum speeds on the highways
and the urgency of careful opera
ton of automobiles to prolong the
life of tires and conservation of gas
oline, was recommended by the
Maryland Traffic Safety Commits
sion to Governor Herbert R. O'Con-
or. The Commission also gave assur-
ance of full cooperation in the pro-
gram suggested in Governor O'Con-
or's proclamation which was recent
ly published to conform with the
request of President Roosevelt for
national maximum speed reduc-
ton.
The Commission will devise plans
for constantly reminding the motor
list of his patriotic duty to conserve
rubber and motor fuels by lower
speeds. 1t has been scientifically
proved that slow driving decreases
tire wear by high percentages.
Complete cooperation by the mo-
WILLIS Pupl1C WAL LACll nav
ing motor vehicles available for use
for a much longer period of time
if they will adopt these simple ex-
pedients. Care now will forestall
drastic regulations which might
become necessary otherwise. ANY
such compulsory regulations which
might constitute serious rationing
would disrupt our present standards
of living and deprive the public of
the convenience that has long been
derived from the automobile. .
One of the measures adopted by
the Safety Commission was to sug-
gest to the public that they double
up on the use of their automobiles
by grouping rides with neighbors
This would serve two purposes, re-
duce the wear of individually-own-
ed vehicles and relieve the present
congestion on the highways, which
is a factor that is delaying defense
workers from getting to their work

RETIRED FARM LAND CAN
BE PROFITABLE

Because of unsuitability for crop
ping purposes, changes in cultiva-
ton practices, and the need for,
more intensive farming methods,
Maryland farm land is being retired
at the rate of 10000 acres every
year, according to C. f. Winslow,
extension forester for the University
of Maryland. In most cases, this
means a definite loss in income to
the farmer which could be made up
at least partially by planting the
land in trees. The best time to plant
these trees is in March and April.
Factors to be taken into consid-
GRAFTON when deciding what trees to
plant are size of planting stock,
time of planting, rapidity of growth,
ability to remain strong and healthy
management and spacing of the
trees, and the planting method to be
used.
Many varieties of trees can be
used for planting, but the land own
er should select the variety best
suited to his soil condition. For ex-
ample, the Loblolly Pine will grow
well on water-logged soil on the
eastern side of the mountain while
White Pine does best on moist, but
well-drained, soils in all sections of
the State except Southern Maryland
and the Eastern Shore. Other types
of trees which flourish under dry
conditions are Scotch Pine, Table
Mountain Pine, and Jack Pine, Nor
way Spruce does particularly we'll
on moist, but well-drained, soil in
the western portion of the State.
Tulip Poplar does well on the same
type of soil in the tide-water Sec
ton, and Red Pine seems to do we'll
on these soils in all sections of Mary
land.
Land owners are warned not to
plant White Pines in Western Mary
land if White Pine Blister Rust is
known to be in the section. For in
formation relative to infected areas
and details on tree paintings get in
touch with Mr.. Winslow, in care of
the University of Maryland, College
Park.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE SERVICES

'Are Sin, Disease, and Death
Real?" will be the subject of the
Lesson-Sermon in all Churches of
Christ, Scientist, on Sunday, April
18th.
The Golden Text will be from
James 5:15"The prayer of faith
shall save the sick, and the Lord
shall raise him up, and If have
committed sins, they shall be for
given him.
Among the citations comprising
the Lesson-Sermon will be the fol-
lowing from the Bible, Matt 1922:
"There was brought unto him one
possessed with devil, blind and
dumb, and he healed him, insomuch
that the blind and dumb both spake
and saw.
The Lesson-Sermon also will in
clude passages from the Christian
Science textbook, Science and
Health with Key to the Scriptures,
by Mary Baker Eddy, among which
is the following, page 234, "If
mortals would keep proper ward
over mortal mind, the brood of evils
which infest it would be cleared out
We must begin with this so-called
mind, and empty it of sin and sick
ness, or sin and sickness will never
cease"

All MOBILIZATION WEEK

The week April to II, 1912, has
been designed as All mobilization
Week. During this week boys ana
girls between the ages of 10 and 81
are invited to join All clubs in the
All program for victory.
Fourth Mobilization for the great
war effort will be the theme of the
National All radio program on the
National Farm and Home Hour, Sat-
urday, April 4.
During Mobilization Week there
will no doubt be special local pro-
grams on Maryland stations at Cum
berland, Hagerstown, Frederick ano
Salisbury.
One of the leading All projects
for 1912 will be the growing of a
Victory garden. A good garden not
only furnishes more adequate food
for the family but releases other
sources of food for the war effort.
The County Agent and the Home
Demonstration Agent will be glad to
cooperate with any group in the
county wishing to organize a All
club. Individual boys and girls are
invited to enroll in the All club
program. For further information
write the County Agents Office at
Elkton.

In recent issue, Life spoke OF
Americas chronic and catastrophe
complacency". That memorable
phrase accurately illustrates what
has been wrong with this country.
We were told that we could lick the
japanese in matter of weeks, and
we believed it. We were told that the
potential enemy was short on raw
materials and natural resources and
SO was incapable of an extended Of
fensive, and we believed that too.
We were told that the oceans were,
in effect, Notifications which were
certain to protect our shores in any
extremity, and we also believed
that. And so the inevitable happen
ed. We and our government terribly
underestimated the mat e
strength and striking power Of the
foe. We thought in terms of ma
tional defense instead of in terms
of ''war". We turned our faces away
from the unpleasant facts, and
dreamed happy dreams OF victory
Only lately have the American peo-
pie and their government come to
realize how hard it will be to win
this war--how much work we must
do if we are to escape the fate of
France and other subjugated coun-
tries, which the conquerors are. lit
orally using as slave markets.
There can be no Question but
what Japan and her partners count
ed heavily on that Catastrophe
complacencyo of which Life spoke.
And so, the job of this country and
the other United Nations is simply
that of revolutionizing our outlook
toward war--and OF producing and
shipping the instruments of war
necessary to make such a revolution
possible. Every military operation
based on defensive strategy has fail
ed--and failed with terrible losses
of men and equipment and key posi-
lions. If we are to win, the war must
be carried to the enemy, and car
ried to him at the earliest possible
time.
