Farm Methods; Sees
Brighter Outlook
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, April 13.-Louis
Bromf1eld, author and lecturer. said
yesterday that while he was most
optimistic about the future of the
SOIL it was his opinion the Amer
lean farmer in the past has been
among the worst in the world"
In delivering the closing address
to the Maryland Conservation
Forum, Mr.. Bromfeld said the
farmers had gone across the coun-
try from the Atlantic to the Pacific
like plague of locusts" and actu-
ally had mined the land rather than
farmed it.
His optimism was based, he said.
on the current revolution against
fighting nature to cooperating with
it" and the increasing interest in
conservation among Americans in
all walks of life.
Blames Political Wars.
Charles E. jackson, assistant di-
rector of the Federal Fish and Wild
life Service, said he believed the de-
cline of Chesapeake Bay Fisheries
since the 1880s sis due not so much
to lack of biological and scientific
information as to the political wars
that have ragged in the bay year
after year"
He suggested as means of max
ing conservation work, that the
problem be taken to the fishermen
in every community on the bay and
meetings be held exclusively for
the fishermen where administrators
and scientists could prove their
case"
Earlier in the day Gov. O'Conor
told the asemblage of nearly 1000
persons about the work the con-
servation agencies Of Maryland had
done in the past, concluding the
description with two-point sum-
mary:
1--WE have provided the machinery
for cooperation among the con-
servation departments, with Fed
eral agencies and with neighboring
States"
Fire, Insect Damage Cited.
State Forester Joseph F. Kaylor
said Maryland timber stands cur
rently produced only about half the
amount of wood possible under
proper management. He blamed
long misuse and damage by fire, in
sects and disease for the curtailed
output.

Gas Black Market
Threatens 70 1oppIe
Program, Ickes Says
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Black market operations threaten
to upset the entire civilian gasoline
distribution program, Secretary of
the Interior Ickes declared yesterday
in appealing for the public's aid in
combating illicit activities.
The petroleum administrator said
the distribution system had been
invaded by the gangster, the
racketeer and even the killer"
THE Government alone cannot
stop black market operators" he
added. THE real power to halt
these organized criminal gangs lies
in the hands of the gasoline sup
pliers, service station attendants and
motorists themselves"
The Office of Price Administra-
ton has estimated that 2500,0OC
gallons are being drained off daily
through illegal sales.
Cooperation of the Petroleum
Administration for War in an OPA
drive to destroy this nefarious ac-
tlvity" was pledged by Deputy PAW
Administrator Ralph K. Davies. He

The best prospect of increasing

Meanwhile, there was a possibility
that Congress might undertake a

 BEST SINCE'14

The .1ol3-44 duckpin bowling season among members of Water bury Lodge 265, BPOE, Is over, with the annual banquet last Saturday night but-the memory and final averages and figures finger on for discussion and interest.

ST. LOUIS CARDS
 AND BROWNS ARE DUE FOR ACTION
BY GLEN PERKINS

United Press Staff Correspondent
 New York, May 9. (UP)-The first intersectional swing of the 1o44 baseball season was underway to- day with the eastern clubs of the National league scheduled to arrive at western points and the western clubs of the American league in- vading the east.
 Despite the fact that the season is young, the trip promises to be particularly crucial for the travellers, National league strength supposedly lying in the western half of the circuit with the eastern clubs of the American league considered the toughest.
 Regional play in the opening three weeks of the campaign has produced many surprises-the most notable of which was the get away squirt of the St. Louis Browns who broke all American league records by winning nine consecutive games at the start of the season.
 Monopoly
 The Browns never have been out of first place and with the Cardinals in the same spot in the National league, St. Louis has topped both leagues at once for the first season since l922-the only other year 1t ever happened.
 The Philadelphia Phillies. almost always a sure bet to finish last, have provided the east with it's big gest surprise. In second place, the Phils have taken nine of their 14 games and are only game and half behind the Cardinals, a half a game ahead of the strong Ctn- sinnati Reds and game and 3 half ahead of the Pittsburgh Pirates.
 It's true that final standings aren't tabulated at the beginning of the season, but Fat Freddie Fftz- simmons, manager of the Phillies. is operating under the old baseball adage that "a game won today IS one that doesn't have to be won m September" ,,
 Neither pennant race will be clinched in this first intersectional race, either, but a reasonably ac- curate line should be available on all clubs when they return home. The morning glorieS will nave started their fadeouts and the real strength should be in full swing.
