PLANNING GROUP A CECIL
COUNTY FARM BUREAU

The November meeting held at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. John Redding,
near Hopewell, was attended by most
of the active members and several
questions of vital Importance were
discussed.
Members reported the apple kar-
vest nearly done and efforts being
made to secure sugar to make some
apple butter on commercial home
canning basis. Mr.. Lippincott hoped
to get his asked for allowance for
this purpose.
The probable difficulty of getting
returning service men back into jobs
and of finding enough jobs for all
when TIE war Is. over, will not be
easily solved. Will the women who
have been doing war work be willing
to go back to home making, and let
the men have the jobs in industry
which they have been holding? Prob
ably many will want to go on making
money.
A motion was carried favoring
referendum on a soil conservation
program for Cecil County, and some
members who had seen such a pro-
gram in operation felt that it was
very worthwhile.
The possibility of peace time con-
scription was spoken of, with some
reasons suggested for it and some
against it. Most of tke reasons given
for it seemed very poor as compared
with those against it. The whole sys-
countries is so different from our
system of Democracy which was es
tablished by freedom loving people,
who came to this country to escape
CONSUMPTION and religious persecu
ton. Service for ones country is
high calling in whatever field of ma
ton it is performed and is much
more freely and happily done as a
sense of duty freely rendered than
under CONSUMPTION. Seeing what mill
tary service in tEis emergency is do
ing to the boys taken from their
homes, and chosen occupations does
not recommend it to the fathers and
mothers of the group. Ike group,
therefore, goes on record as opposed
to peace time CONSUMPTION in any
form, and is anxious to call attention
of others to the dangers involved in
such system
Taken from the minutes.

WHEAT LOANS

Maryland farmers this fall have
obtained $2,366,340 in loans on their
1914 wheat crop, under the provi-
sions of the governments wheat loan
program, it has been reported by Jo-
seph H. Blandford, State Chairman of
the Maryland AAA Committee. The
loans were on 1,487,4OO bushels of
wheat.
The provisions of the loan program
permitted the farmers to transact all
of the loans through Maryland banks
and business institutions-32 of
them. Loans on wheat delivered and
stored in terminal elevators at Balti-
more and Philadelphia enabled the
farmers to receive $1.56 a bushel for
No. Red Winter (garlicky) wheat,
while farmers storing their wheat on
their farms received from SLAB to
$1.47 bushel plus seven cents a
bushel storage fee.
Mr.. Blandford reported that the
Commodity Credit Corporation of the
government has announced an offer
to purchase on May 1, 1945, both ter
minal and farm stored wheat at SIS
per buskel more than the loan value,
with the carrying expenses to be
borne by the farmer.
There were seven counties in Mary
land where wheat under loan was
stored on farms: Carroll, Cecil, Fred
erick, Howard, Montgomery, St.
Mary's, and Washington counties.
Montgomery county has the most
farm stored wheat under loan, ac-
cording to the records. AS of Dec. 1
therei were $1,000 bushels of Mary
land wheat stored on farms, with a
total loan value of $46,34O.
There were 2,727 Maryland wheat
loans where the wheat was stored in
warehouses or terminals, with the to-
tai number of bushels being 1856
zoo, valued at the loan total of ST.
100000. Most of this wheat was from
Frederick, Kent, Queen Anne's' and
Talbot counties, while the remainder
of the loans was made on wheat
grown in Carolina, Carroll, Dorches-
ter. Howard, Montgomery and Wash
ington counties.

PEANUT PICKING PRISONERS

German prisoners of war have
been put to work in peanut mills in
some of the eastern and southern
areas where the crop is grown. In
these plants, much sorting and selec-
ton of the peanuts is done by hand.
Reports to the War Food Administra-
ton say that peanut processing is
considerably behind schedule for lack
of the labor that is usually available.
This "bottleneck," now somewhat
relieved by prisoner labor, has direct
connection with the food supply prob
lem for the armed forces. Sailed pea
NUTS and peanut butter are favorite
foods with fighters. Sailed peanuts
are now sold in tin cans at post ex-
changes overseas. Also the Army has
recently added peanuts to it's 1O-in-1
ration and peanut are used in the
Army CO. ration. There is also a
prospect that peanut products will
soon be added to Navy rations.
When brought to the factories, the
German prisoners are entirely unfa-
miliar with peanut picking, and the
report says that many of them were
slow when first put on the job. They
improve with practice. A ''piece-work
day. has proved helpful in getting
the work done. This calls for setting
a fair standard for what is expected
in an 8-hour day. A prisoner who is
alert nd does his best can do the
work in much less than s hours.
Working on a piece-work basis, many
of the prisoners are able to finish
their stints in less than 6 hours. They
are then excused for the day.

Rural Bond Sales
Effective Step In

WASHINGTON. D. C.-Secretary. of

called on American farmers to invest
all extra" dollars in War Bonds during

ard said, 1.-THE farm people of this
country have an outstanding war rec

winning. The single task of supplying
undertaking. Add to that the equip
ment which was needed on the inva-
sion coast of France, the supplies that
are required now to knock down the
walls Of Hitler's Germany, and the
total is staggering. So our job here at
war on the fighting front isn't over
Our homefront responsibility. is two
fold: One is to stick to our job and do
1t well until total victory is won; the
other is to buy War Bonds.
''The farm people of this country
have an outstanding war record. They
have achieved a production miracle in
the face of wartime difficulties. Their
bond-buying record is good, too, as in
dictated by the fact that farmers and
their families purchased more than one
and a quarter billion dollars worth of
bonds in 1913. This figures out at about
10 per cent of their net income.
This Sixth War Loan campaign is
the biggest yet for agriculture, but
never before has agriculture had so
many dollars that could be put into
War Bonds. The record production Of
farmers, coupled with favorable COM
modify prices, has pushed their income
vestrnent Of those extra, iniationary
dollars in War Bonds would be the
most effective step in postwar planning
Rural America could take.

XMAS PUPPY BUYERS WARNED

The Midland Journal has been ask
ed by the Gaines Dog Research Cen
ter, New York City, to warn local
purchasers of Christmas gift puppies
to demand signed papers as part of
the sale transaction.
Reason for the warning, according
to the Center, is that the present ex-
ceptional demand for puppies has at
tracted to the field racketeering in
dividuals who attempt to pass off
non-pedigreed puppies as purebred
dogs to unsuspecting buyers. Only by
buying puppy from an established,
reputable kennel or responsible
breeder and by demanding prior to
purchase two signed papers-a pedi-
gree for at least three generations
and fully signed registration appli-
cation-can the purchaser be sure he
is getting the quality of pet he is
paying for.
