Almost Forgotten

American tourists in Paris, if they
pay any attention to such details,
may have wondered why the French
have been apparently so forgetful
of Thomas Jefferson, whose love for
their country was undeniable. Street
names, public squares, statues and
monuments recall the memory of
Benjamin Franklin. Scarcely less
popular, though in a different way,
remains the name of George Wash
ington, who during his lifetime and
long after his death was celebrated
in prose and in verse and presented
as the embodiment of Plutarchian
virtues. No such legendary halo
surrounds Jefferson abroad, and ap-
parently he would have been almost
entirely forgotten were it not for his
famous saying often repeated in q
somewhat modified form: Every
man has two countries-his own and
France.

OCTOBER MILK PRICES

Wartime milk production by 81
GIG producers in Pennsylvania, New
Jersey, Delaware and Maryland who
delivered milk to the 73 handlers in
the Philadelphia Milk Marketing
Area under Federal Order No. 61
during October continue to show an
increase over the corresponding per-
iod last year. This was disclosed in
computing the uniform prices, releas-
ed Nov. Is, to be paid to these milk
producers under the Order which
regulates the marketing of milk in
the Philadelphia area.
For October the weighted averages
of prices computed to be paid produc-
ers was $3.943 per hundredweight
basis 4 per cent milk, f. o. b., Phil
adelphia. This is an increase over the
weighted average of prices for Sep
tember 1914, of $3.899 and compares
with $3.979 for October, 1943. The
uniform prices are computed at
$4.05 per hundredweight for Glass 1
(fluid) milk and and $3248 for
Glass i (cream and other manufac-
tured products) as used by each
handler In addition to these prices
computed under Order No. 81, pro-
ducers will collect, through County
Agricultural Adjustment Age y
committees, addition dairy feed sub
.sidy payments of 80 cents per hun
dredweight in Pennsylvania, Della
ware and Maryland and 80 cents in
New Jersey. Therefore, for October
this will give total return of $4.743
per hundredweight ($4.843 in New
Jersey, approximately 3,507,48O for
the total 73,95O,669 pounds of milk
delivered.
This 73,95O,6 pounds of milk de-
livered to Philadelphia handlers
during October is an increase of 1871
per cent over the 65,602,277 pounds
delivered during October 1943 How
ever, it represents an expected sea-
sonal decline of per cent from the
77,042,757 pounds delivered during
September, 1914.

HOMEMAKERS' CLUB
MEMBERSHIP DRIVE

This is broadcast to all home
makers who are interested in TIE
great and noble profession of 'home-
making g'-homemakers who live on
farms and in villages, homemakers
who have families and homemakers
who do not have families.
Mrs. Isaac Heisler, County Mem
bership Chairman of the State, wants
to tell you what advantages and OPP
portunites the Extension Service of
the University of Maryland offers to
all women through their home dem
onstration work First, there is the
opportunity to organize into groups
for the study of home economics and
to have brought to us the last word
on research findings and presented
to us, through demonstrations and
discussions.
The person who does this master
job of organizing and teaching is our
County Home Demonstration Agent.
We, the homemakers, help her plan
the yearly program around projects
in which we nee dhelp. This help
is given to us in three or more forms.
Probably the most important form
is the demonstration method. Then,
there is the discussion method, and
last, but not least, the use of project
: leaders who have received their train
ing in special project SCHOOLS. Aside
from learning about the very practi-
cal side of homemaking in which we
are interested, we all believe, as
homemaker, that the cultural side OF
the home is of equal Importance.
Therefore, our club programs in
clude music, art appreciation in every
day life, current reading, book re-
views, peace lessons and recreation.
l am sure you understand that recre-
alton can be anyone of the named
subject. To many of us reading a
good book or listening to good music
is recreation In our peace project
the past year, we studied the Atlantic
Charter and the Four Freedoms. AS
a result of this one program, home
makers are more familiar with the
countries in which our boys are fight
ing; and they are on the alert to fur
ther study of countries or hear the
plans discussed for permanent peace.
This peace project has aroused con-
sciousness on keeping abreast with
the thinking of world affairs.
Homemakers' club work has done
two things for the rural women. No.
is the way it has trained leaders to
take their place in community and
county affairs. Responsibilities of
group activities has fitted tie home
makers for large horizons. No. 2,
homemakers, through ira n j n
schools in projects, have become eff
cient in training other club members.
The work of the local leaders and
project demonstrators cannot be Mea-
sured. Their influence is too widely
felt. 1t is something that lies deep in
the thoughts and hearts of the giver
when helping others. Leaders say the
training they receive in subject mat
ter in their training schools is worth
more to them than the time they give
In return.

lege Park Con Friday Saturday, Nov.
"a and 25) where state farm leaders
and farm agency representatives are
meeting to determine 1945 state pro-
duction goals for food, feed, and veg
etable oils.
Alter balancing the estimated re-
quirements for farm commodities
against tke capacity to produce, the
conference is expected to determine
what farm commodities and how
much of each should be expected
from Maryland farms in 1945. Jos.
H. Blandford, chairman of the Mary
land U. s. Department of Agriculture
War Board, is scheduled to preside
over the two-day meeting.
The conference program calls for
discussions on food production policy
and requirements, the economic sit
uation, Maryland's 1945 wartime
production capacity, price support
policy for 1945 production, produc-
tion facilities, marketing and trans
portation facilities, and plans for in
forming farmers about what is need
ed in the way of foods and other sup
plies.

FARM BUILDING
NEEDS STRESSED
Urges War Bond Investments

Asserting that approximately $780,
100000 will be needed in the immedi-
ate postwar years to catch up with
three years of delay in Maryland farm
building and machinery repairs and
new purchases, DR.. 7. B. Symons,
Dean and Director of Agriculture at
the University of Maryland today de-
clared, SIT behooves every Maryland
farmer to invest literally in war
bonds so that his cash can do double
duty-help finance the war against
Germany and Japan now and finance
his own needs after the war when the
bonds can be converted into cash."
Sounds Imitation Warning
A member of the State War Finance
Executive Committee, DR.. Symons
made the appeal in connection with
the Sixth War Loan Drive, beginning
November 20 through December 16.
He emphasized that Maryland farm
ers considered it their first duty to
retire their debts and then to provide
for ample financial reserves to obtain
much-needed farm machinery and
buildings after the war. Warning
was sounded by DR.. Symons on invest
ing present financial reserves in farm
land and other investments having in
f1ated wartime prices.
War Bonds Recommended
War Bonds were recommended as a
sound and suitable investment for
farmers interested in helping the war
effort and at the same time helping
themselves by keeping their reserves
in liquid investments, earning attrac-
tive interests, for postwar purchases
of farm needs.
Points to Postwar Needs
In pointing to Maryland postwar
farm needs, DR.. Symons referred to
the state postwar farm building COM
mittee report, issued recently, which
stated that an average of $1,000 per
farm would need be expended follow
ing the war for the repair of farm
buildings alone, as result Of neces-
sary neglect during the war years.
Double Purpose Served
A backlog of nearly three years of
farm machinery orders exists in Mary
land, it was said, and these needed
purchases can be made following the
war with converted war bond money.
Meanwhile" DR.. Symons concluded,
"these funds, if invested in war bonds,
can be doing battle duty for the ma
tion and earning good Interest for the
investor"
Cites Agricultural Activity
Due to the beehive agricultural ac-
tivity, Frank w. Wrightson, State
Chairman of the Sixth War Loan
Drive, stated that Maryland expects
finer and more strenuous participation
than ever from the counties. "They
have always done good job," he said,
"but we believe the agricultural par
ticipation this time will be in a posi-
tion to break all their previous
records" Meanwhile, an executive
meeting Of the Agricultural Division
was held at the War Finance Commit
tee offices under the direction Of R. H.
Dixon, Jr., Deputy Manager. The
Farm Executive committee includes:
Paul Nystrom, of the University of
Maryland Extension Service; Roy
Brooks, Master of the State Grange;
R. F. C. Weagley, President of the
Maryland Farm Bureau; C. E. Wise,
Jr., Secretary of the Maryland Farm
Bureau; Harry T. Nuttle, National Di-
rector of the Farm Bureau; P. D.
Brown, County Agent for Charles
County and Edwin Englar, Secretary
of the Carroll County Farm Bureau.

community number of women who
have a fine contribution to make and
who are only waiting for an invita-

young homemakers and your friends
to be members of this important
group of women who believe in the

TRACTORS MATCH HORSES NOW

TRACTORS MATCH HORSES NOW
If all the pulling jobs on American
farms could be Jumped in one "big
hitch" the year 1914 wauld find the
pull on the evener almost exactly di-
vided between tractors on one side
and animals on the other, a. u. S.
Department of Agriculture report es-
Inmates.
The horses and mules represent
about 55 percent of the total drawbar
power, according to an estimate by
A. P. Brodell and r. D. Jennings, of
the Bureau of Agricultural Econom-
les, based on replies to question
naire returned by crop correspon-
dents who report to the bureau. But
the As percent of tractor power
works somewhat longer hours in the
year, and the total pull is believed to
be almost evenly balanced.
Farmers now have fewer work
animals than has been the case for
more than half century. If there
were no tractors, farmers would need
about 20 million horses and mules
to have as much power in relation to
cropland as they had in 1910. Ac-
tually they are 8 million short of that
figure. "The place of the displaced
animals has been taken chiefly" says
the report, "by the increase of about
II, 100000 in the number of farm
tractors, but the increase of about
100000 in numbers of farm auto
mobiles and of about 900, 900 in farm
motor trucks since 1920 has contri-
buted also the displacement of work.
stock"
If farmers had been able to buy as
many tractors as they wanted in
1943 or from the somewhat better
supply of 1914, the tractor would
have forged ahead to become the
principal source of power on the
farm, say the authors. Tractor pur-
chases were high in the years before
1943, and many tractors are in good
working condition." they say. But
some tractors, especially the older
ones, as well as some fairly new ones
that have been used extensively, have
about come to TIE end of their useful
life."
Colt production is not sufficient
to maintain the present number of
work animals.
