POULTRY FLOCK SLASH LOOMS
TO SAVE FEED

Drastic government steps may be
taken soon to force sharp cut in
poultry fllocks as one means of help
ing feed hungry people abroad.
One of the reasons the United
States suddenly discovered that its
stocks of wheat are too low to keep
up present domestic consumption and
still meet export commitments is thai
large amounts of grain have been di
verified into poultry feeds.
To stop such feeding of wheat, the
Agriculture Department may issue a
order forbidding it's use in the manu-
facture of mixed chicken feeds.
Such an order is being considered
by Department officials in connection
with President Truman's wheat cor
servation directive. The Chief Execu-
tive ordered action by government
agencies to place Americans on darl
-four and bread, to porhibit the use
wheat in making beer and whiskey
and to discourage it's use as livestocl
feed.
In addition to the possible poultr.
feed order, the Agriculture Depart
ment also is considering steps to linn
it the commercial output of baby
chicks.
With poultry fiocks larger thai
government estimates of need, thu
department late last year urged far
mers to reduce their flocks by a
least Ii per cent by Jan. 1, by culline
the less productive egg producers
1t also recommended that poultrymen
raise II per cent fewer chickens and
10 per cent fewer turkeys this year
Preliminary surveys indicate, off
cials say, that poultry f1ocks wer'
not reduced by the amount urged.

POTOMAC RIVER COMMISSION
NAMED

To complete TIE Maryland Com
mission which will engage in confer
ences with similar three-man COM
mission in Virginia, in an effort to
solve conservation problems in the
Potomac River and the Chesapeake
Bay, Governor Herbert R. O'Conor
named Robert E. Archer, Bel Air, as
Chairman, and William F. Hilgen-
berg, Seafood Dealer of Baltimore,
and A. Wellington Tawes of Girls
neld, to membership on this group.
Mr.. Archer has long been identi-
ned with questions concerning the
Bay and it's tributaries. At the 1915
session of the Legislature, he drafted
the legislation codifying the State
laws pertaining to the Tidewater
Fisheries.
BY appointment of Governor Rit-
chic, Mr.. Archer was a member of
the Commission which two decades
ago met with Virginia representatives
to work out solution of problems
concerning the Potomac River. Later,
as an Assistant Attorney General he
was specially assigned to the then
Conservation Department and hand
led all litigation concerning tidewa-
ter questions.
AS member of sportsmen groups,
Mr.. Archer was actively interested in
efforts to coordinate the handling of
various problems affecting the Bay
and it's tributaries. He has notified
Governor O'Conor of his willingness
to accept the post.
Mr.. Hilgenberg, Governor O'Conor
pointed out, operates seafood estab-
lishment in the Wholesale Fish Mar
ket of Baltimore, seafood, packing
and ice plants in Virginia, and is one
of the most qualified men in the State
ON matters affecting the seafood in
dustries.
MI. Tawes, the Governor said, has
been active in the seafood industry in
the Crisfield area for number OF
years and will represent this seatood
center of the State which always has
mad an especial interest in the Poto-
mac River and the lower Chesapeake
bay area.
With Chairman Robert E. Archer,
long identified with conservation in
terests in the State, these two thor
oughly practical seafood business
men should compose a Commission
that should be entirely qualified to
deal with the Virginia Commission
and to protect Maryland's vested
rights in the fisheries products of the
Potomac and the Bay area, tn eGov-
ernor emphasized.
Established at the instance of the
Maryland General Assembly, the
Maryland Commission named by Gov.
O'Conor shortly will have counter
part in Virginia, it is expected, as a
result OF resolution which Governor
William N. Tuck has assured Cover
ernor O'Conor will be introduced into
the Virginia Legislature within few

ALTERS INSPIRING RURAL
AMERICA WITH THEIR SAFETY
WORK

Safety first is becoming the watch
word of Rural America. Dangers long
overlooked on farms and in homes
are now being eliminated. Careless
ness in performing farm tasks is be-
ing displaced by constant watchful-
ness.
Much of the credit for tkis encour-
aging development is given by safety
authorities to All Club boys and
girls. These rural youth are inspiring
their own and neighboring farm
families to be safety conscious
through surveys in which the Allie
check houses, barns and yards for
hazards that might cause accidents or
start fires. The youngsters also prac-
tice and preach safety in driving,
walking on highways and handling
farm machinery and livestock.
Many of the youthful vigilantes
are participating in the 1916 Nation
al All Farm Safety program. Their
records of safety work will first be
considered for county medals of hon
or. Eight state champions will be Sc
lected from the county winners to re-
ceive $25 U. S. Savings Bond each.
A special plaque also provided by
General Motors will be presented to
the county having the best All safe
ty record in 1916. Three state cham
pions from each of the four extehison
sections and four at large will be CIV
en- trips to the 1916 National All
Club Congress in Chicago. Twelve OF
the latter will be named national
winners and each awarded $500
college scholarship.
Last years state winners in Mary
land were: Royce Johnson, Cumber-
land; Miss Anne Shuppert, Monkton;
Miss Gulielma Keller, Jefferson;
Robert Bull, White Hall; Miss Norma
Jean McGuigan, Whiteford; Miss
Bessie Vain, West Friendship; Thur
man Frey, Smithsburg.
Among these, Miss Anne Shuppert
won sectional honors. County win
ners were named in Allegany, Balti-
more, Frederick, Hartford, Howard
and Washington counties.

Quiz For MdrYldnders
Answer to Question Z:


Nowhere in America Nare there
more colorful racing traditions
than in Maryland. The Maryland
Jockey Club traces back to 1743,
over 200 years ago. Maryland rae
ing and The Maryland Jockey Club
are older than the State of Mary
land. Traditions still prevail in
Maryland racing. One is an old
Colonial law declaring ''the Stew
ards of The Maryland Jockey Club
shall wear as their badge of Office
a White Rose" Tradition is a part
of Maryland life, as surely as crab
cakes, terrapin, Preakness Day,
riding tournaments at the county
churches, we'll scrubbed marble
doorsteps and the old yellow and
green club house at Pimlico.
Answer to Question q:
If Maryland's % counties di-
vided one million dollars each
year, each county would have
$43,478 - more than enough to
support a Free County Library
System throughout the State. No
activity in which Maryland en-
cages pays so great a part of your
taxes as the racing at Maryland's
four racing associations. Racing's
annual contribution could support
the greatest Free County Library
System in America.

Dutch Return From Nazi CAMPS


Some 100000 Netherlanders have
been liberated from German war
prisoner and labor camps since the
Allied armies entered Germany, ac-
cording to report from Supreme
Allied headquarters. Of these, $4,000
have so far been repatriated. The
others are being cared for in vari-
GUS centers in France and Germany.
Another 1900 Dutch civilians, many
of them women, are being evacu-
ated to Sweden from German con-
centration camps. Among those
who were liberated were 500 Dutch
women from the Belsen, Ravens
brueck, and Neugamme camps. In
addition, a Swedish Red Cross ship
is now at Lubbock, Germany, to
bring another group of 1000 Dutch
citizens to Sweden. Of 800 Dutch
women originally informed at Ra-
vensbrueck, only 800 had survived,
the refugees reported. Besides, out
of group of $50 which arrived at
Malmoe, Sweden, 10 per cent were
so seriously i'll that they had to be
sent to hospitals.
