FARM INDEPENDENCE ASSERTS
ITSELF

Practical cooperation between far
mers to solve their own problems, is
illustrated with the recent organiza-
ton of the American Dairy Associa-
ton of New York, which will join in
a nationwide program of advertising
and research aimed at creating a
postwar market for 10 to Is billion
pounds of milk now being produced
annually above pre-war levels.
A farmer working alone would be
helpless to cope with such a gigantic
task, but through marketing cooper
atives, which seek distribution out
lets and reasonable prices, farmers
hope to solve TIE problem that will
face them when the government
halts it's heavy buying of dairy foods
for war purposes, while milk produc-
ton is at an all-time peak. They
realize that no industry can expect
unlimited subsidies from govern
ment burdened with a war-swelled
debt approaching $300,000,000,0oO
The farmers are to be commended
for Flaming their own future, in
stead of crying for government help
to maintain wartime expanded pro-
dLction.

ExONERATED

The Office of Price Administration
has dismissed suits against eight
large chain store companies which
last year had been charged with
price violations covering sales OF
women's and children's underwear.
This is the termination of suits I'M
der Maximum Price Regulation $50
which caused such confusion and in
justice by preventing low-cost stores
from selling articles at price based
on current cost, while allowing new
stores or stores that had no previous
ly established highest price, to sell
goods at current costs.
The reason for such ruling was
never satisfactorily explained. The
expense it caused merchants was in
calculable, and the Inconvenience 1t
caused to the consuming public can
never be estimated. 1t can be consid-
cred one of the penalties of war and
the seemingly unacceptable regimen
tation which war entails. 1t should
be lesson, however, to encourage
free markets at the earliest possible
moment after the emergency is over,
with a minim uIm of restrictions.

SMALL INDUSTRY BENEFITS

That big industry recognizes the
distribution problems of small indus
try, is evidenced by the announce
ment of Safeway Stores that it has
adopted a new buying policy under
which it's shelves will be opened to
grocery items with merit offered by
small suppliers, whether backed by
national advertising or enjoying a
widespread consumer demand, or
not.
In the past, food stores, as we'll as
other merchandise outlets, have
largely sold nationally advertised
brands and items which have an es-
tabllshed demand, and more rapid
turnover than unknown brands, how
ever meritorious the latter brands
nigh. be.
Under present conditions, numer-
lous nationally advertised items are
impossible to get. Therefore, policy
which encourages new sources of
lsupply seems both practical and con-
structive, from the standpoint not
only of the store, but of the consum-
er who is more hardput every day to
fill his needs.

ROMMEL is BELIEVED
EXECUTED

Field Marshal Erwin Won Rommel
was executed by the Nazis for his
part in the abortive attempt on the
life of Hitler last July, in which the
Fuehrer's double was blown to pieces
according to reliable reports from
the German and French under
ground.
From the same sources come au-
Itkentic reports that Field Marshal
General Karl Rudolph Gerd Won Run
Istedt double-crossed his former Jun
ker friends after they had appraised
him of the plot, and that he virtual
ly delivered them into the hands of
Nazi hangmen.
Dc yious details of the Machiavel-
liam plot in which Won Runstedt sold
out his patrician friends and cast his
lot with Hitler, whom he despises,
are told in graphic detail by Pierre
]. Huss, noted war correspondent, in
the April issue of Cosmopolitan mag
aZine.
1.-TWO prominent names heading
the list of conspirators were those OF
Field Marshal Gunther Won kluge
and Field Marshal Rommel," Huss
writes. 1.-THE latter was disgruntled
outsider, nursing grievances after
being superseded by Won Runstedt.
The extent of his involvement,
has not come out, but there is fairly
substantial evidence in France that
the Desert Fox recovered from the
injuries suffered in an accident and
sufficient ground to suspect that he
was subsequently condemned to
Geatk by the Peoples Court for his
share in the plot and executed"
That Hitler was not in the room
at Berchtesgaden when the bomb ex-
ploded is indicated, according to
Huss, that newsreels showing Hitler
visiting the wounded in hospitals
Show that while they were all
scorched black he was merely wear
ing a bandage on one hand.

MD. EMPLOYEES NOW AT WAR
TO GET JOBS BACK

A total of S74 state employees on
military leave will benefit from the
provision of Senate Bill No. 226,
awaiting Gov. Herbert R. O'Conor's
signature.
This measure-along with three
otkeTs-was passed by the 1945 Leg
islature as a part of the administra-
tion-supported program for more
complete merit system coverage for
state employees.
Under it's terms, veteran OF this
war. who has left or who leaves po-
sition with the State of Maryland,
the counties, the city of Baltimore
or any other government subdivision
must be reinstated in such position
and must be given such benefits of
seniority, service and status as he
would have been entitled to had he
retained his job while in service.
Senate Bill No. 223 grants to Sec
ond World War veterans, their wives
and widows, the same preferences as
those bestowed upon first World War
veterans, including credit of five
points 90 points if they are disable
edD in all examinations for appoint
ments.

PRISONERS OF WAR FOR FARM
WORK

Senator Tyidngs, Senator Radcliffe
egation have been working very
strenuously to obtain German war
prisoners to assist in the canning
work this summer and also to assist
our farmers during the heavy rush
Of farm work during the coming sum
mer.
The following release las been
made by the Public Relations Office,
Headquarters Third Service Com
mand, Baltimore, Maryland:
1.-THE manpower shortage in the
.Iaryland Eastern Shore peninsula
will be alleviated in the next few
months through the use of German
prisoners of war, contingent upon
the arrival in the Third Service Com
mand of additional captives.
''The War Manpower Commission
and the War Food Administration
for Maryland have issued certificates
Of need for such labor, and have al
located prisoners allotted to them by
Major General Phillip Hayes, Com
handing General of the Service Com
mand, accordingly.
''The VINO and the VIA have sur
veyed the need for labor in the active
agricultural section, and in the can
hing industry, and have indicated
hat additional labor for planting,
,arming, harvesting, and processing
needed foodstuffs is required"
1t is planned to have prison camps
n Maryland as follows:
Berlin-with approximately 500
prisoners; Westover, with approx
mately 700; Hurlock, with approx
mately 800; Easton, with approx
mately $50; Cambridge, with ap-
proximately 400; and Church Hill,
with approximately 300 prisoners.
1t is hoped that this situation will
materially relieve the labor short
age on the Shore during the coming
summer.

HYBRID CORN FOR THE SOUTH

AS the automobile has displaced
the horse for transportation, so,
during the war, has hybrid corn
produced by crossing of selected in
bred displaced open-pollinated
varieties in TIE Corn Belt, says the
1914 Report of the Administrator of
Agricultural Research.
""The result of this major achieve
ment of modern plant breeding is
that a Corn Belt farmer can now
grow 20 percent more corn on the
same acreage than he could few
years ago (and feed corresponding
ly larger number of pigs); or alter
natively, he can keep his production
the same but use less land for corn
and more for other crops. The big
development of the near future is
The spread of hybrid corn to other
areas, especially the South. This. is
already on the way; breeders have
developed hybrids that are in COM
mercial production in five States OF
the South. The indications are that
hybrid corn will increase production
per acre proportionately more in the
South than in the North.

TOO MANY BOSSES MEAN COLD
HOUSES

According to statement released
by the Bituminous Coal Institute, tie
United States war effort will be Sc
verely handicapped if the present de-
featist policy and lack of cooperation
by government agencies permits the
officially forecasted bituminous coal
shortage of 100000 tons in 1915.
Our reserve of coal in the ground
is unlimited. Government agencies
have completely dominated coal pro-
duction since the war started. They
control materials and manpower.
When tkey fail to settle labor dis
putes, they take over and operate the
mines.
Therefore, it would seem as if the
public officials in control of the coal
industry are the ones who will be re-
sponsible for the coal shortage they
predict in 1915.
1t has been proved that the blum
nous coal industry can produce the
$40, 100000 tons of coal needed for
1945, because this record-breaking
tonnage was produced last year.
However, it cannot be produced with
the 10000 fewer miners and crippled
machinery projected for the industry
this year.
'The planning for bumper out
put of coal for 1945," says the Insti-
tute, "rests with the government ag-
encies that can authorize sufficient
miners to man the mines, and tie
early replacement of coal mining ma
chinery."

NEW POTATO is DEVELOPED
THROUGH MARYLAND
RESEARCH

After many years of intensive re-
search, the Agricultural Experiment
Station at the University of Maryland
announced this week the develop
ment of new early white potato va
riety, that out-yields, in Maryland,
commonly grown varietie 8, II d
makes possible the growing of two
potato crops in Maryland during a
season without using stored seed of
The previous year for planting the
late crop.
So recent that the new potato has
not yet been named. The research
was conducted by DR.. X. A. Jehle.
state plant pathologist at the Univer-
sity, in cooperation with DR.. F. j.
Stevenson, senior geneticist of the u.
S. Department of Agriculture.
1t is round white potato with
shallow purple eyes and is much
smoother than the Irish Cobbler, it
is reported. 1t has rich cream col
ored flesh, which when cooked makes
it appear as though butter had been
added.
The most remarkable characters
tic of this seeding, it is claimed, is
the fact that spring grown seed can
be used to plant the late crop. In
Worcester county during the past
three years slightly larger average
yield of U. S. No. size potatoes was
obtained from seed harvested in July
treated with chemical to break its
dormancy and planted immediately,
than from Dakota Red seed which
had been produced the previous sea-
son and kept in cold storage during
the summer.
No seed is available to growers
yet. Considerable acreage is being
grown this year to multiply seed
stock, so a quantity of seed will be
available next year.
A three year yield test on COM
mercial production basis, showed the
new Seeding produced an average Of
179 bushels per acre for the Seeding
and 124 bushels per acre for Dako-
ia Red from the late planting. SINH
larly, the new seeding has out-yield-
ed the Irish Cobbler in three-year
tests conducted in Worcester, How
ard and Garrett counties.

WATERFRONT PARK MEASURE
ASSURED

Efforts of State officials, sports
mems associations and civic groups
to make available for the citizens Of
the State, public waterfront recrea-
tional areas are given impetus by
the announcement by Governor o.
Conor, that he would sign Senate Bill
$40, authorizing the Board of Public
Works to acquire property adjacent
to the Chesapeake Bay and its tri-
butaries to be used for the social
and economic betterment of the peo-
pie of Maryland.
Under the measure sponsored and
approved by the Governor, the Board
of Natural Resources is charged
With the responsibility of locating
and recommending to the Board of
Public Works the location of the
site or sites to be acquired. Eighty
five per cent of all revenue received
from any land acquired under this
Bill, the measure provides, will be
paid into the State Treasury and the
remaining Is per cent turned over
to the County in which the recreation
and demonstration area is located.
The measure, finally passed by the
Legislature was prepare dat the re-
Ques off Governor O'Conor, after
previous Bill, introduced by the
Board of Natural Resources, had
been killed in the Legislature.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

The total contributions in 1914 for
all purposes to churches of 10 de-
nominations in the United States
amounted to $423, 695,471, or an av-
erage of $16.57 for each of the 25,-
564.SO5 members. The largest per
capita giving was by members of the
Church of the Nazarene whose indi-
vidual gifts amounted to $3.50. The
total gifts for expenses and benevo-
lences in leading Protestant churches
in Canada was $18,172,856 or a per
capita giving of $1S.75, which was
$2.18 larger than the per capita CIV
ing in the United States.
The people of the United States
spent $1,000, 100000 for liquor last
year, an average Of $54 for each in
dividual in the nation.
A number of questions arise when
these figures are studied. First, is
there any connection between the
fact that the advertising of beverage
alcohol is prohibited in Canada and
the larger benevolence giving? OF
the five churches having the largest
per capita contributions in TIE Uni
ted States, three are decidedly con
sentative in their theological ap-
proach. Second, is the fact that the
adherents of these denominations
take their Bible literally, reflected
in their gifts to the church? These
are questions that probably never
will be answered by statistical re-
search But they are interesting
ideas about which to cogitate.

REAL DIVIDENDS

Sire losses have been serious and
more severe than they should have
been, but no major war effort in this
country has been stopped or critic
ally hampered by fire." said w. e.
Mallalieu, General Manager of the
National Board of Fire Underwriters,
at War Department Conference on
Repairs and Utilities.
The record of fire prevention in
the United States in this war is far
better than in World War l. The
cost of damage by fire during the five
years of World War / totaled more
than 1929, 900, while fire dam
age costs for World War II, 1939-43,
inclusive, totaled 1855, 1000, 200, an
increase of 20 per cent.
However, during World War /, the
maximum value of property exposed
to possible destruction by fire was
less than half the greatest value ex-
posed in World War II. In other
words, if fire losses for the five-year
period of the second World War lad
been running at the same rate as in
the first World War, our destruction
would have been over three billion
dollars. Therefore, fire prevention
has paid big dividends.
Fire protection engineers from the
National Board of Fire Underwriters
and other Boards and Bureaus
throughout the fire and property in
surance business, donated their or
ganized cooperation. This, together
with public cooperation, has aided
UNNECESSARILY in our war effort.

them was the Vicksburg Daily Citi-
