U. 5. Urged 10 Pay Now
For Quantico Expansion
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
FREDERICKSBURG, Va, March
18.-An appeal has been made by
Representative Smith, Democrat, Of
the 9th Virginia district to Secretary
OF the Navy Knox to speed payment
to property owners for the thousands
OF acres taken by the Government
for expansion Of the Quantico Ma
rine Base.
Representative Smith, In letter
made public here, called for elimina-
ton OF red tape" which he said
was delaying payment and described
the situation as outrageous and
inexcusable.
The land needed for expansion
was taken in Stafford, Fauquier and
Prince William Counties. Clerk
James Ashby of Stafford County, in
letters to Representative Smith and
Senator Byrd, said all of the people
living on 10000 acres in Stafford
County had to move out before De-
cember,5. but had not received any
payments for the land in early
March.
The Government recently de-
posted an estimated 100000 with
the United States District Court at
Norfolk In part payment for the land
taken for Quantico expansion in the
three counties. The Free Lance Star
here said it was not known whether
any OF the money had been received
by landowners, but none had yet
come to Stafford citizens.

Farmers in St. Mays Hope
To Equal Last Years Output
IT,, Lack Of Port Time Worker Is Worst Problem
Yields Being Improved by Better Methods

farm hands have been lured from
the land to Government projects.
In King George County, Va,
farmers believe crop production this
year will suffer most at the hands of
men who depend on other jobs in
addition to farming for their living.
These men, it was said, have indi-
Gated they will let their land go I'M
cultivated rather than face the
constant problem of getting and
maintaining farm labor.
Acres to Go Untitled.
c. H Allnutt, a retired King
George farmer, said he knew OF at
least 800 acres in his neighborhood
which would not be farmed this year.
He said this land belongs to men
who have professions or other jobs
and who say they will not turn a
hand as long as labor remains hard
to find
1T doesn't seem right" Mr.. ALL
mutt said, for these men to quit
farming at the very time they are
needed most.
OF course he added, these men
are not real farmers, but they do
control a lot of land which should
be in cultivation.
Since he retired as the manager
of a 3,600-acre King George County
farm. Mr.. Allnutt has operated a
country store. He said his neighbor
farmers who congregate around his
stove on Saturdays to discuss their
problems plan to do as much farm
ing this year as possible.
Mr.. Allnutt said King George
County is largely general crop
farming section, with a few dairy
and cattle farms.
Carter Grymes, who owns 800
acre farm in King George County,
said so far he has not lost any of
the regular farm hands who live
on his place. Mr.. Grymes owns one
of the high producing farms in the
county, and says he will raise as
much, if not more, this year than
last,

today.
The only failure in the system was
reported by James w. Wills, Charles

Several Wardens Confused.
In Alexandria the test was marred
only by the zeal of several afraid
wardens who, confused by the sig
nails, refused to let traffic move
after the second blue" STEADY

traffic briefly. Carl Budwesky Alex

Claude Stoneburner, co-ordinatol
for Arlington County, characterized
the test as "the best We have had.
He said he believed the lateness Of
the hour contributed to the sue

complained, however, that the lack
of an all-cfear caused some delay
in getting lights back on.

LEONARDTOWN, Nd, March Is
Farmers of historic st. Marys
County will produce almost as much
this year as in the past, despite wal
projects in the area which have
absorbed much of the county's sup
ply of part time farm labor. The
largest curtailment in planting will
be among patch farmers many OF
whom have deserted their fields for
high wages on Government projects
This is the opinion of County
Agent j. j. Johnson, who said that
although farm production will fall
slightly below last year. farmers
are preparing to cultivate as much
land as possible
Mr.. Johnson's opinion was further
borne out by statements of cross
roads" store keepers, who have
stocked the usual amount of seed
and tobacco-growing equipment, and
say they expect to have little or
no hold-over.
COuntry store topics.
Men who gather at country stores
to discuss the farm topics of their
communities say there is no mini
MIXING the farm labor shortage. 1t
is serious, they say, and undoubtedly
will affect this years farm output.
Farmers agree that the man hit
hardest is the large farmer who
must depend entirely on part-time
labor, While many of these have
not lost their regular tenants. it is
almost impossible for them to find
extra labor.
One reason for the shortage of
farm labor was declared by farmers
to the unwillingness of some men to
take jobs. These men work day or
two on war projects and make as
much money as they formerly did
in week on the farm. They re-
main idle the rest of the week and
refuse to help out the hard-pressed
farmer A work fight law would
help remedy this situation, they said.
Higher Crop Yields.
Mr.. johnson said st. Marys Coun-
ty farmers are constantly i'm
proving crop yields through better
farming methods. While tobacco
remains the chief pay CROP" farm
ers are getting away from the old
lone crop" farming which for the
past 200 years has drained the fer
tility from the land of Southern
Maryland and Virginia. While
fewer acres are planted, the pro-
duction is constantly getting higher,
he said.
Steven Demko, a Czech American
farmer who has carved go tillable
acres out of forest land, said the
farmer will have to learn to work"
He said farmers who in the past
have "bossed the job" will have to
pitch in themselves"
Up through St. Marys County, in
to Charles County and across the
new Potomac River Bridge into vir-
ginia, farmers describe the labor
situation as tight" One farmer in
Charles County said he and his
nsixhhors were planting as much
land as we can" In Charles as we'll

200 Attend Auction
OF Horses Removed
From Rock Creek Club
Highest Price Is $l53;
Animals Bring 81 ,264. 50,
Equipment, S602.95

More than 200 persons yesterday
crowded into the corral of the old
Counselman farm near Norbeck,
Md, for the sale of ID horses, 2
colts, trailer and miscellaneous
stable equipment at prices which OBJ
servers termed unprecedented for
local horse auctions.
The animals and equipment were
taken from the former Rock Greek
Riding Club, 5000 Connecticut
avenue, Chevy Chase, Md. about 8
weeks ago after the horses allegedly
received poor attention there.
The order for the sale was issued
by Montgomery County Sheriff r.
w. Farmer on behalf of William j.
Hines, Norbeck farmer, who holds
about $1,000 in claims for feed and
grain bills against William Todd,
manager of the club. The auction
was conducted by Brake Fraley of
Redland.
Top Price Is S153.
Top price paid for any of the
horses was s153 bid by Mrs. ]. W..
Swaren of Brookville Ann c., r.
year-old mare, which ran on the
country's race tracks few years
ago. was purchased for $130 by
Blake Merson, owner of a Silver
Spring refuse firm.
One farmer, who did not partici-
pate in the bidding, said both bids
were about $50 more than the horses
were worth, while Sheriff Farmer
said that the prices were higher
than he expected.
Walter Clarke paid $500 for 4
horse, while another was sold for
s10l to H. c. Dickinson. C. M.
Munger purchased three horses and
saddle for $273. The trailer went
to James Carter Of Boyds for $475.
;. Nine OF the IA animals were sold
for prices above SIS. The lowest bid
was $35. ALI of the horses sold for
a total of $1,264.50.
Court Hearing Slated.
Bids entered for various items of
stable equipment also were high,
with saddles selling for an average
of SIP each. Nine second hand tires
were purchased by the Rockville
Motor Co. for s18 and 100 pounds Of
wire was sold for $3.50.
Other items sold included an
anvil, Sc; fire extinguisher. $3.50;
four polo sticks, $3.50; a box of pam
cake flour, so cents; two buckets, Is
cents; shovel, 81; rake, Is cents,
and roll of wire, 81. All equipment
was sold for total of $60295.
A court hearing will be held
shortly to determine the distribu-
ton of the proceeds of the auction
to the various creditors of Mr.. Todd,
who has not yet been located by
police.
Permit Was Revoked.
L. E. Beach of Norb""k, who took
the horses from the onevy Chase
stable, said he also had entered a
suit against Mr.. Todd for an unpaid
feed bill, but had withdrawn it.
When taken from the club, it was
found that the horses had been
without water for week. While
there was feed in the stable, there
was no evidence that the horses had
been fed regularly.
The permit for the Chevy Chase
stable. which formerly housed the
Chevy Chase Girls Cavalry and the
Rock Creek Riding Club, was re-
voked in December by the Mont
gomery County commissioners after
neighbors charged it was menace
