Forged Name On Check

Irene Yerko, charged with steal
ing check belonging to Carrie Log
an, forging the owners name to it,
and cashing it at the bank in Elkton
for $1,000, was taken into custody
by the Cecil county authorities.
Both young women were employed
at the Triumph Explosives plant
near Elkton, and lived in one Of the
dormitories.
Miss Logan, after receiving her
check for two weeks work, laid it in
her room intending to get it cashed
in the morning. Morning came, and
the check had disappeared. Inquiring
at the bank disclosed the check had
been cashed, her name having been
forged. Suspicion pointed to the Yer
ko woman, who was apprehended,
and acknowledged that she cashed
the check and had written the name
of Miss Logan on it. Hardly had she
made the acknowledgement when
Miss Logan began to rain blows up
on her.
About half the money obtained by
the forgery was found upon the self
confessed forger. 1t was returned to
the bank. The balance had been
spent. After plans were made to re-
pay, the charge was dropped.

tons of hay to be imported from else.
where to support our increased live
stock population. The cut in food
crops such as tomatoes, potatoes,
snap beans and lima beans, ETC.,
varies from rs to rs percent. Our
canning crops as whole are severe
,ly cut and this will be felt by our
people In the shortage of canning
supplies during the coming winter.
The most severe loss of feed crops
results from the cut in our corn crop
which, at the minimum, will be 35
percent, representing about six mill
lion bushels of this important grain
crop.
The most severe problem will be
the continuation of our milk supply
with the shortage of hay and grain.
All of us recognize the necessity of
an adequate supply of milk for city
and suburban people. Our pastures
are drying up Farmers are feeding
hay now which would ordinarily be
used during the winter. Therefore,
we must make arrangements for the
importation of hay and grain from
other sections that can spare it, in
order to maintain our dairy produc-
ton, which has already been cut 20
percent
A drought is most difficult for far
mers to withstand. 1t is far harder
than a food because food is usual
ly within the area of a river, and a
drought extends over wider areas.
1t is also difficult to convey to city
people the serious effect of drought.
We cannot publish pictures that
show the effects of drought, as is
done with a food. l want to assure
the people of Baltimore and sur
rounding areas that such an affection
as we are now experiencing Is per-
haps even more far-reaching in its
effects than the sudden rising of a
river or stream. However, our farm
ers are keeping their chins up and
facing the situation with their usual
courage, with the hope that rain will
come to help out some of our late
2growing crops. s

DROUGHT SITUATION in
STATE SERIOUS PROBLEM
DIR. Symons Of Maryland University Extension
Service, Gives Survey Of Conditions

In radio address over Station
WCAO, DR.. T. B. Symons, of the
University of Maryland Extension
Service, reviewed the serious drought
situation in Maryland, the following
extracts being taken from his adj
dress:
The farmers of this area approach
ed the 1943 season with enthusiasm
and determination to produce every
thing within their power as their
part toward meeting the war food
needs of the state and nation. Sub
stantial increases in the acreages OF
all crops were planted, including the
largest acreage Of tomatoes and
other canning crops the state has
ever grown.
The early part of the growing sea-
son, March, April and May, was very
favorable, with adequate rainfall.
With the beginning of June, we be-
gan to fall back in average precipi-
tation. Unfortunately, this has been
followed by continuous lack OF
rainfall until now we are in one OF
the most severe droughts in the his
tory of the state. 1t is comparable to
the record-ma drought of 1880.
We have just completed a survey
of the drought situation and in few
words it may be said that, with the
exception Of a strip in Garrett Coun-
ty, the northern part Of Hartford and
Cecil and one or two other spotty
sections in Charles, Kent and Wor-
cester counties, the whole state may
be included in the drought area The
only difference in this drought from
that of 1880 is that we did have a
normal rainfall in the early part OF
the season. The rainfall during the
past two months has been compar-
able to the 1880 situation.
Very severe losses are being sus-
tanned by our farmers at the present
time in the production of food for
our people and feed crops for our
animals and poultry. Conservative
estimates compiled this week would
indicate absolute need of over 4OO,-
600 tons of grain and about 10000

FILING ESTIMATED
INCOME AND
VICTORY TAX

A. Parks Rasin Acting Collector
of Internal Revenue, announced that
/ 100000 copies of the Declaration
of Estimated Income for the Calen-
dar Year 1913, had been mailed out
to 10000 taxpayers in the Mary
land district. 1t is estimated that
40O, 900 taxpayers in the district will
ment Tax Act of 1913 to file the
form, on or before September Is
and make payment of at least half
the amount of the balance of 1943
tax estimated to be due at that time.
While most taxpayers will not be
required to file the Declaration, Act
ing Collector Rasin said, because
they are now paying their tax in full
through the withholding deductions
made by their employers, he urged
all taxpayers to read carefully the
instruction sheets which accompan-
led the forms to determine whether
they are required to make a decla-
ration, so as to avoid penalties for
either failure to file or for making
substantial underestimate of 1913
income
Many persons do not realize, Act
ing Collector Rasin said, that the
withholding tax does not automatic
ally make all persons current on
their 1943 incomes. Generally speak
ing, single persons earning over
$2700 a year or married persons
earning over $500 year; those
with outside incomes, such as from
dividends, interest, rents, profess
sional fees or business profits, and
those classes not subject to withhold
ings, such as persons in the armed
forces, clergymen, domestic servants
Sand farm labor, will all be required
to file declarations in order to place
all taxpayers on an equal footing.
"If there is doubt in any ones
mind as to whether he or she will
have to file declaration" Acting
Collector Rasin said, II would sug-
gest that they communicate with this
Office at the earliest opportunity,
and we will be glad to help them. :"
Acting Collector Rasin also asked
employers to be prepared, if request
ed to give their employees prelim-
mary statement of the Withholding
deductions for each payroll period,
and the amount of Victory tax-syfth=
held in the first six months, to help
them compute their estimated total
withholdings for the year. While the
law requires employers to furnish a
written statement to employees only
after the end of the year still the
act does require the filing of dec
laration by certain taxpayers on
September 18th and they may need
this assistance from employers in
filing the form required. Inasmuch
as only relatively small proportion
of employees will be required to file
this September 18th declaration, it
is not expected that this will involve
much extra work on the part of en-
ployers, and their cooperation would
be greatly appreciated.
