HEAVY RAINS
SCAR LOCAL
FARMS

Unusually heavy rainfall during
Cecil County's busy tomato, soy bean
and corn planting season, have left
their marks on much of the locality s
best lands. Farmers tell of their
seeds washing out, necessitating the
costly replanting of hundreds of
acres. The run-off from fields have
torn up rural roads, covered portions
of highway with tons of silt, clogged
culverts and left deep gullies where
side bitches were before.
Much of the terrific drainage and
waste will be prevented as more far
mers shift to the use of tried and
proved conservation farming prac-
tices that slow down the racing, tear
ing water that now carries the expen-
sive fertilizer and priceless soil of
Cecil County farmers across the
roads, into the streams and down to
the bottom of our once-navigable
rivers.
Many farmers throughout the
County have their farms in various
stages of transition to this new and
better way of farming. A visit to one
or more of these farms will convince
the skeptical that it is good business
to start using the one or several con-
servation practices that the farm re-

Light Vote On North
East Bond Issue

The special election held in North
East, to decide whether to authorize
the Board of Town Comissioners to
issue bonds to finance construction Of
a water system in the town, brought
out very small vote. There were SO
for and u against the system.
Several months ago at a special
election, the commissioners were au-
thorized to issue $150,0OO bonds
with which to install both a water
and sewerage system. When tie
bonds were offered for sale no bids
were received because, it was alleged,
the sum authorized would not more
than half pay for the projects, hence
the new authorization for a water
system only.

MIGRANT LABOR
ON WAY TO
MARYLAND

Migratory labor from Florida and
the Carolinas is on its way to Mary
land tkis year, apparently in greater
numbers than in the war years, ac-
cording to Paul E. Nystrom, state
supervisor of the emergency farm la
Dor program of the Extension Ser
vice.
Migrants will be the major source
of seasonal harvest help for many
Maryland farmers after the last of
the foreign workers and other war
time emergency groups of labor are
disbanded.
A few crews, totalling about 500
migrant workers, have already arriv-
ed in Maryland and are picking
strawberries on the lower Eastern
Shore The main group of these tran
sients will move out of Carolina
northward. While some will stop in
Virginia to pick beans and dig pota-
toes, many will come direct to Mary
land to look for work, and otkers
will go further north. Those who
stop in Virginia will come on to
Maryland as soon as that states har-
vests are completed.
The migrant movement dwindled
in the wartime, largely because of
shortages of transportation, and with
increased need for their work in the
southern states. The few who came
during the war years were largely
transported by crew leaders in
trucks These crew leaders contracted
for kary est and hauling of vegetables
crops such as beans and potatoes.
Most of the migrants this season are
expected to be in crews.
Persons interested in hiring mi
grants should see their county agent

Oil Men Meet

Current and future ia xproblems
of the Maryland motorists will be dis
cussed at meeting of the oil men of
Cecil County on June 18th at New
Central Hotel, Elkton, Md, at 3:15
D. m. daylight saving time), Mr..
John j. Maloney, Chairman of the
Cecil County Petroleum Industries
Committee, announces.
The recent proposal by the State
Roads Commission to increase the
gasoline tax will be fully discussed.
Also. the automobile titling tax now
paid only by motorists and used for
general fund purposes will be con-
sidered.
Mr.. Maloney announced that the
sales OF gasoline and the consequent
collection of gasoline taxes are now
exceeding all expectations. Likewise,
the huge surplus of motor vehicle
revenue accumulated by the State
Road Csommission during the war
years when very little new highway
construction was possible, makes a
proposal at this time to increase gas
oline taxes somewhat startling.
There will also be discussed pro-
posal to amend the Maryland Consit-
tuition so as to insure that all motor
vehicle revenue will be used exclu-
sively for highways. Eighteen states,
including our neighboring states of
West Virginia and Pennsylvania,
have amended their constitutions in
this manner, and thus their motorists
have no fear that their motor vehicle
revenue will be diverted to purposes
wholly unrelated to highways.
officers for the coming year will
be elected at the meeting, which will
be attended by garage proprietors,
gasoline retailers, automobile deal
ers, and others interested in highway
transportation.
Mr.. ]. P. Lanigan, Executive Secre-
tary of the Maryland Petroleum In
dustries Committee, will be the prin-
cipal speaker at the meeting.

s'OId Glory

Today, Flag Day, is an occasion
that should appeal to all true Ameri-
cans. L. is significant because it is the
annivel sary of the date upon which
the national emblem came into being.
1t was on June IA, 1777, that Con-
gress decided that the flag of tLe
struggling colonies should comprise
thirteen red and white stripes and
thirteen white stars on a blue field,
one for each of the colonies. That is
why June IA is Flag Day.
Today is an opportune time for
every loyal American to renew his
or her allegiance to the flag as ex-
pressed in the following pledge:
81 pledge allegiance to my Flag
And the Republic for which it stands,
One Nation, indivisible,
Witk Liberty and Justice for all. !"
And. we should not forget, the
pledge to the flag means pledge to
support the institutions on which the
nation is founded and which must be
upheld if the United States of Amer
lea is To survive.
The pledge quoted here should be
familiar to every American. 1t was
written in 1892 by Francis Bellamy,
a member Of the staff of the Youth S
Companion, of Boston, wko had been
active in endeavoring to induce Con-
gress to authorize the President of
the United States to proclaim Octo-
Der 12 as Columbus Day, thereby
making it national holiday, particu-
larly for the schools, October IL,
1892, being the 400th anniversary
of the discovery of America by Chris
topher Columbus.
The American bag, as we know it
today, was authorized by Congress in
1918. In 1875 Congress passed an act
adding two stripes and two stars to
the flag, in view of the fact that Ver-
mont and Kentucky had been admit
ted to tie Union since the original
flag was decided upon.
In 1918, however, Congress decid-
ed to make permanent formula. 1t
did so by passing an act restoring the
13 stripes, but providing that star
should be added on each fourth of
July, following the admission of a
State. Now, with 4S states sin the
Union. there are 4S stars in the flag
No law has been passed designating
the arrangement of the stars, but
practice has fixed six rows of eight
stars each.

ust. Another stamp will become valid
