LICENSING OF HOSPITALS

be appointed by Governor O'Conor.
Members of this Advisory Board to
The State Department of Health have

Director of Health, announces that
its organization meeting was held in

DIR. Winford H. Smith, Director of
,he Johns Hopkins Hospital, was
elected Chairman of the Advisory
Board. Dr. Dean Roberts, Chief of
the Bureau of Medical Services, State
Department of Health, was elected
Secretary.
The Board recommended to the
State Department of Health that
standards for licensing of hospitals
be established for four classes of in
stitutions: acute general hospitals |;
specialized hospitals; homes for aged
providing for chronic convalescent
care; and homes for chronic or con-
valescent patients, such as rest and
nursing homes.

BETTER FARMING, BETTER
CROPS

Prospects for an impressive list
of record and near record crops tell
he effects of wider use of improved
arieties, liberal applications of fer
tilizers, improved cropping practices,
and concentration of crops in the
most adaptable areas
This was the comment the Crop
Reporting Board of the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture included in the
September crop report. The four fac
tors mentioned add up to a total of
better and mare scientific farming.
The report summarized conditions as
of September l, when many of the
crops were not yet ''in" but were
coming" after generally favorable
August weather had allowed i'm
provement over the crop pictures of
earlier months. The four factors in
the better farming of 1945 work to-
gether to permit crops to take full
specialists of the Department point
out.
The volume of the 1945 harvest as
indicated on September 1, said the
Board, would equal the production of
the outstanding years, 1912 and
1914, and would be 6 percent above
1943, about IL percent over produc-
ton in any other year, and "a per
cent above the 1923-32 pre- :
drought" average.
Early Universities" listed by the
Board included damaging spring
frosts, local droughts, cool tempera-
lures, excessive wetness, and general
iateness. But as of September /, the
picture had changed so that "indi-
Gated output is in the bumper class. "
Fall weather will be of more than
usual interest to all consumers. The
Board says that ."even though crops
that were planted late made fairly
rapid progress during August, the
advancement has not Offset earlier
retarded development. Corn is es-
pecially vulnerable, with a large
acreage in a close race with killing
frosts"

An all-time record crop of 5000
tons of hay, plus feed grain crop
eight per cent above the ten-year av-

of SCI, 900 tons, is the production
prospect on Maryland farms this
year; according to the Maryland Crop
Reporting Service.
The high estimated yield of hay,
Las tons to the acre, plus an in
crease of 10000 acres over the 423,-
900 acres harvested last year, topped
the previous record hay yield of 1924
which was 618,O00 tons.
A new record yield of oats, 33 bu.
to the acre, plus an expected record
yield of corn, 81 bu. to the acre,
helped boost the total expected yield
of corn, oats, barley and rye to equal
last years tonnage, though the acre
age dropped five per cent, from $780,
600 acres to $4,000 acres. The 1945
expected corn crop, still in the max
ing, is estimated at 17,242,000 bu.
compared to 17,150,000 bushels last
lyear.
Production of cannery tomatoes is
expected to be 173,1O0 tons. about
half of the 1914 crop of 100000
tons. Wet weather losses to the East

part by good yields in western Mary

A new recor dproduction of can
merry sweet corn is also in the offing,
117,500 tons compared to 10000
tons in 1914. An average crop of can
merry snap beans is in prospect, 49,
700 tons, but considerably above the
1914 figure of 15,600 tons.
The 795,0O0 bushel apple crop es-
innate forecasts the poorest yield in

WIDER EDUCATION IN
RELIGION URGED

The Importance of providing re-
ligious education for children and
youth of America today was cited by
governmental, business and political
leaders in indorsing the fifteenth
annual Religious Education Week,
September 80 to October Z.
Churches of 40 Protestant denom-
nations and 1873 state, city and pro-
vincial councils of churches and re-
and Canada will participate through
the International Council of Reli-
gious Education.
Declaring that secular education
and religious education are twin
pillars of democracy" John w. Stu
debaker, Washington, United States
Commissioner of Education, said
tkat upon these pillars rests a re-
sponsibility for building citizens
worthy of the spiritual inheritance
which is ours as a people
Calling for 1.-The enthusiastic sup
port of every Christian" in the OBJ
servance of Religious Education
Week, Harvey S. Firestone, Jr., of
Akron, Ohio, said:
Zone of the inspiring revelations
of the war is the discovery by chap
lains that many men in the armed
forces have expressed a desire to
know more about religion. We must
prepare now to provide them and
their children with facilities for re-
ligious education when they come
home.
1.-The alarming increase in juvenile
delinquency can be attributed in
large measure to the fact that mil
lions of children in the United States
are coming from homes where relig-
ion has rarely entered. 1t is to correct
these conditions that the Internation-
al Council of Religious Education is
sponsoring the fifteenth annual OBJ
servance of Religious Education
| Week."
Representative Ralph w. Gwinn,
| If the Twenty-seventh district, New
York, says: "There is no time to ar
que or speculate about religious edu-
cation. Our fate in both war and
peace depends upon it. The time is
/ hard upon Us when we must restore
cur traditional religious discipline
n education to do right on our own
] account, according to Gods COM
nandments."
