Prisoners For
Farms Lacking,
|O'COnOr Informed
Board OF Correction Makes
Survey At Governors
Request

Annapolis, July 7. Available
labor in the State Penal institu-
tions for possible release to plant
and cultivate crops on the farms OF
the State is none too plentiful
Governor Herbert R. O'Conor was
notified by the Board of Correc-
ton. Details on the number OF
prisoners available were supplied
at the Governors request, follow
ing formal notification by him to
the Board of Correction some days
ago, in accordance with Chapter
773 of the Acts of 1913, egaiding
the scarcity of labor for planting
and cultivating crops on the farms
of the State.
OF a total population of 1858
prisoners in the three institutions
concerned, the Maryland Peniten-
tiary, the House of Correction and
the State Penal Farm, 938 are now
employed outside the institutions,
Governor O'Conor was advised
This is somewhat over 35 per cent,
a high average.
Of a total of sos inmates not
now assigned, and of whom a great
majority are not suited for outside
work, 81 men from the House of
Correction are needed for projects
already contemplated. This will in
clude the personnel for the st,
Mary's County road camp, now
ready to be opened and an addi-
tional 20 men for the Old Point
Road camp, as Of August /, at
which time the present personnel
there will do work on farms. In
Guided also in this group are 20
men who have been assigned with
in the past few days to work on
farms in Howard County. These
were requested by the County
Agent to supply immediate help on
the threshing machines there.
A total of sc men, new arrivals
not yet interviewed as to their suit
ability for outside work, may swell
the available total somewhat, Gov
ernor O'Conor was informed, but
the needs of the House of Correc-
ton itself, which will total 80 men
for cannery, picking, road work,
etc., will about exhaust the pres
ent valuable supply.
In the meantime, Governor
O'Conor announced, the inmates
records are being rechecked so that
every possible individual may be
utilized who has had any expert
ence on farms or shows possible
adaptability for this type Of work.

construction of buck rake were in
the office of County Agent Warren
G. Myers when a discussion of the
possible use of them in Howard
County was held at the Fulton
Farmers Club. Mr.. Bassler volun-
teered to try his hand at building
one. This was during the past
winter. Securing the plans from
the County Agent, Mr.. Bassler who
has always been enthusiastic about
machinery, set to work. With the
use of the shop at the GAINESVILLE
High School and the cooperation
of the principal, Max Smith, and
others he put many hours in its
construction. There was no hest
fancy in making changes from the
plans where it was thought that
such changes would prove benefic-
ial. The result is the practical OPP
GRAFTON of Mr.. Bassler's "buck
rake" on the. hills of Howard
County.
The rake is pushed by the trac-
tor. 1t is estimated that it will
carry a load of between seven and
eight hundred pounds. From a field
more than a quarter mile from the
barn a round trip was made in
seven minutes. 1t takes two to five
minutes to load. Thus five, six or
seven loads per hour could be
made.
Notified by Mr.. Bassler Of the
time he would thresh the barley
Mr.. Myers asked Judge James
Clark, J. Carroll Jenkins and p.
G. Stromberg to accompany him on
a visit to the Bassler farm on Mon
day, July All the visitors were
impressed with its operation.
Judge Clark, who has read of the
"buck rake's" use in the west
commented very favorably. Looks

WHEN NEWS from our mill
WARY forces consistently gives
comfort and courage to young
and old a natural sequence is
a rising tide of interest in
affairs at home. Only when
news from the war fronts is
not encouraging do our people
take on a front of almost COM
plete unity. Our series of
favorable communiques have
brought US to
Presidential a point where
Election the public is
In Offing showing keen
interest in ma
tional affairs. 1t might posi-
bly, be that there is too much
confidence which leads to COM
placency and even apathy. Yet,
under our democratic system,
the time comes for politics
whether we be in the midst of
war or not. And we are drift
ing into a bitter presidential
contest next year. Whether the
campaign will be fought on
lines of the wars conduct or
will shape up on domestic
issues remains to be seen. In
dications in Washington, how
ever, are that the campaign
will center on domestic issues.
The fight between President
Roosevelt and Congress does
not confine itself to the recent
overriding of the veto. The
fight is much deeper and re-
fleets disagreement on the part
of many members of Congress
with the Presidents domestic
policies.
If the President goes out for
denomination there will develop
a potent force Of anti-fourth
termers. The bitterness of such
a struggle will carry over to
the general election. There
seems complete confidence in
and approval Of the heads Of
our army, navy and air forces.
Almost without dissenting votes
Congress has given the Army
and Navy Departments all that
the heads have asked. There
is no division of sentiment re-
garding the handling of the
military. Yet there is much
disagreement and discord re-
garding all domestic issues.
People, in spite of all national
issues, feel most keenly and
are swayed by the day to day
problems in which they are
effected. And for that reason
the determining
Macarthur factors in next
Boom years nominal
Unfair ton and cleo
ton will be how
the people feel about living
costs, rationing, taxes, priorities,
price ceilings, etc. A Presi-
dent in war time must take
steps which are unpopular.
Whatever sacrifices and hard
ships are imposed are chalked
up against him. Barring un-
foreseen developments which
might cause a surge of patrio-
tism at the time, a war presi-
dent running for reelection
faces almost insurmountable
obstacles.
In connection with rumors
of possible Presidential candi-
dates the name of General
Macarthur has often been men
toned. This is so unfair to the
General as well as to our men
