FARM LABOR
SITUATION in
CECIL COUNTY

The farm labor situation in Cecil
County has gradually gotten worse
during the past four years. The Ex-
tension Service of the University of
Maryland, the Cecil County Farm La
Dor Committee, and the County Ag-
ent are working on plans which it is
hoped will help to bring additional
farm labor to the county. In working
out these plans it is necessary that
we hold public hearing to determine
what are the prevailing wages paid
farm labor in the county.
In order to get the needed infor-
nation from farmers, public hear
ing will be held at the Howard Hotel,
Elkton, on Friday afternoon, March
9, at 1880 p. m. At this meeting we
hope to secure more complete infor-
nation in regard to wages which are
oeing paid in the county for the diff
ferent kinds of farm work, such as
dairy, and general farm work, har-
vesting canning crops, truck crops,
wheat, corn and other crops. Farm
ers, Gamers and any others interest
ed i'm farm labor problems are invit-
ed to attend this meeting.

Court Nullifes
Sale OF Bus
Company Stock
Upholds Plaintiff In AT.
tack On Ross Trans
portatiOn Deal

The Circuit Court of Cecil County
has handed down decision nullify-
ing the sale of about 800 shares OF
stock of the Ross Transport Company
nv the officers of the thriving concern
on the petition filed by Charles T.
Crothers of Rising Sun, and EDMUND
w. Crothers of Elkton.
The decision, which was signed by
Chief Judge j. owen Knott of Den
ton, and Associate Judge Albert Con-
stable of Elkton, is expected to be
far reaching in it's effect upon the
numerous "mushroom-like' concerns
that have prospered through war in
dustries.
The action was directed against
Wallace E. Williams, former state
senator, and the Ross Transport co.
In the suit it was alleged that MI.
Williams, the president OF the COM
pany. sold the stock to members oil
his immediate family and one or two
other individuals.
At the outbreak of the war When
the plant of the Triumph Explosives,
Inc, grew by leaps and bounds, there
was a need for greater transportation
facilities for employees to and from
the plant. The transport company
therefore was organized.
The capital stock for issuance OF
800 shares, but only about 500
shares were sold, the balance being
held in the treasury. AT once, the
company was a success.
When Charles T. Crothers, the as
sistant manager, learned that the un-
sold stock had been issued, he protest
ed vigorously, resulting in his Office
being discontinued.
Testimony offered during the trial
of the suit before the court disclos-
ed that the president has been recelv-
ing S145 per week salary, and State
Senator James w. Hughes, the secre-
tary-treasurer and counsel, SIS per
week as his salary.
The company has been operating
about 80 buses between the plant
and various points in Pemnsyivania,
Delaware and Maryland.

National All Club
Week Recalls
State History

National All Club Week, March 3
to IL. recalls some interesting high
lights in the history of All Club
work in Maryland. A glance at the
growth and achievements OF club
work since it's beginning in the
state reveals the steadying influence
it has had in the development OF
Maryland youth and the important
part it has played in rural community
life. Mylo S. Downey and Dorothy
Emerson, state All club agents at
the University OF Maryland, bring
out the following facts:
Club work was started in the state
in 1915, under the direction of Reu-
ben Brigham, now assistant director
of Extension for the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture. During the sue
ceeding two years, he laid a founda-
ton in policy and practice which has
resulted in an increasingly active or
ganization in the state. R. F McHen-
nv filed this place from 1917 to 1919
at which time E. G. jenkins, known
as Daddy to thousands of All club
ers over the past rs years, started a
long period of service, ending with
his resignation in 1912, that saw
club work grow to its present prom
inent place in Maryland rural life.
In the past two decades, enroll
ment in All clubs throughout the
state has grown from 1876 in 1924,
to almost 1900 last year. Fourth
club'ers are proposing a 10 per cent
increase, to $4,000 this year.
In letter addressed to all 1,7OO,-
900 of the Nations Alters, COM
mending them for their war services,
and urging renewed efforts this year,
President Franklin D. Roosev
says;
Final victory of our armed forces
is still to be attained. Your efforts
must he carried forward with even
more momentum in 1945. To this end
may National All Club Week, March
3 to IL, result in rededication by
all All Club members of their heads,
hearts, hands and health to fullheart-
ed endeavor in all that makes for vic
tory. Such rededication is significant,
especially in this crucial war year
1916"

Farm Bill Amended

Delegate John E. Clark has amend
ed bill previously introduced in the
Maryland House of Delegates, which
would have permitted the use of
county machinery for contour farm
ing.
The amended bill will merely pro-
vide that the Cecil County Commits
sioners are authorized to give what
aid they deem proper in the proven
ton of soil erosion in the county. The
bill will not be mandatory but would
enable the county commissioners to
proceed on soil erosion program at
any time, without further legislative
action.
