6O% OF STATE FARMS SUPPLIED
WITH ELECTRICITY

Figures made public by Governor
Herbert R. O'Conor show that SOC
of the States farms are now supplied
with electric current. In a statement
accompanying the statistics, Cover
nor O'Conor declared:
Zone of the most satisfying devel-
opments affecting the rural communi-
ties of our State, under this admin
istration, has been the great increase
in the number of farms supplied with
electricity. 1t is very gratifying to
know that records for the year 1945
show so percent of the States farms
thus equipped to avail themselves OF
the modern conveniences made pos
sible through electricity. This means
that during the 10 year period, the
number of farms to which electricity
has been brought increased from
5000 to $4,000 or from 20 to 60 per
cent.
when it is realized that despite
the wars limitations, more than
5 900 homes have been brought with
in reach of electric current since
1910, it is not difficult to picture the
rapid development that can be assur-
ed for the remainder of our States
farms just as soon as supply difficult
ties can be overcome. Unquestionably
the largest single contributing factor
to this current and future develop
ment, is the legislation passed by the
1871 General Assembly relating to
the establishment of electric cooper
atives for the purpose of supplying
electrical energy and promoting and
extending tke use thereof.
"The very fact that it was possible
under this bill to extend power lines
to some thousands of Maryland farms
gives me every confidence that the
day is near at hand when Maryland
farms will be almost completely elec-
trified."

ASSETS OVER 500, 900, 900, 10000

The Nations farm plant has be-
come a 1OO-billion dollar corpora
ton"
A recent study by the Depart
ment's Buearu of Agricultural Eco
nomics shows that the total value of
the U. 8. agricultural plant was 101.5 5
billion dollars on January l, 1916,
representing gains of nearly IL per
cent from a year earlier and practic-
ally 80 percent since January 1,
1910. The increase over 1945 esti-
mates is due mainly to increased val
ues of physical assets and cash accu-
mutations from large volume sales at
higher prices, rather tkan to'physical
improvements in farm plants.
On this balance sheet of agricul-
ture, farm real estate accounted for
56.6 billion dollars, compared with
5O.3 billions on January l. 1915.
Other physical assets made up 24.9
billion dollars, half a billion more
than a year earlier. Financial assets
of farm operators totaled more than
20 billion dollars, compared with
1872 billions in 1945.
Creditors claims amounted to 8.9
billion dollars, leaving 93.2 billions
of the total worth as equities of far
mers and other owners of the farm
business. The January 1 financial as
sets were divided between deposits
and currency, IA billion dollars, War
Bonds, 5 billions, and investments in
cooperatives, l billion.
The large increase in holdings of
cash and Government bonds during
the war years probably reflects
among other things some deteriora-
ton of the farm plant, BAE indi-
Gates. Inability to maintain farms
and equipment at prewar level prob
ably has contributed about 100000
900 to the cash holdings of farmers
in the period 1942-45 which will
need to be paid out when conditions
permit,
Farm mortgage debts again de-
cinled during 1945 though to a
less extent than in other recent years.
Farm mortgage debt at the beginning
of 1916 stood at 5 billion dollars,
down percent from year earlier
and % percent under January /,
1910. Not only did farm mortgage
debt decrease less than in previous
war years, but it actually increased
in 20 States.

FERTILITY in AUTUMN LlaAvEs


has provided fertile forest floor,"
says the U. s. Department of Agricul-
ture in mimeographed leatiet on
autumn leaves prepared by the For
est Service. This tells some of the
bad effects of even tiny fires in wood
lands in destroying and wasting fer
tility. Similar wastes occur, says the
Department, when the town or city
dweller burns autumn leaves instead
of using them as mulching material
or as a source of compost than can
be used either as an organic fertilizer
and soil conditioner to be spaded into
the soil or when well rotted as top
dressing for lawns and gardens.
Although the food prepared in
the cell cavities of the leaves is re-
turned to the tree in the fall, miner
al substances with which the walls
of the cells have become impregnat-
ed during the summer months are re-
tained.' says the leafiet. Therefore,
fallen leaves contain relatively large
amounts of valuable elements such
as nitrogen and PHOSPHORUS, which
were originally part of the soil. De-
composition of the leaves enriches
the top layers of the soil by returning
the elements borrowed by tie tree,
and at the same time provides for an
accumulation of humus. However, il
fires are allowed to rum through the
forest and the leaves are burned, the
most valuable of the fertilizer ele-
ments are changed by the heat into
gases and escape into the air. Forests
which are burned over regularly soon
no apparent damage is done to the
standing timber"

PERFORATIONS OF STAMPS

Charles D. Carpenter is quoted in
The Masonic Philatelist as having
given the following story for the ori-
gin of the perforations on sheets OF
stamps:
"a London news reporter, Charles
Fowler, accidentally originated the
idea of perforating stamps, according
to The Western Stamp Collector.
Fowler, who was free-lancing at a
penny-a-line, was covering that city
in the 184O's for several out-of-town
papers and each evening repaired to
the Red Lion Inn to write UP and
send out the days news. One night
in the autumn of 1847 he was in his
usual "oftice" and had jut fisnished
the folding of his news letters when
to his annoyance he found that he
had neither scissors nor knife to cut
the necessary stamps from the sheet
he had bought at the post office. He
tried to cut them with the point of a
pin but that scheme not working he
got the idea of punching holes close
together and then tearing the stamps
apart.
Fowler thought no more about
TIE occurrence but one Henry Archer
who had watched the proceeding took
the idea home and three weeks later
approached the authorities at Somer-
set House with proposal for ma
chine to pierce holes in the cutters
between the stamps by means OF
whick they could easily be torn apart.
A committee was appointed to inquire
into the matter, and in due time re-
ported that the perforating of post
age stamps would be of great conven-
ience and advantage to the public.
The report was in time adopted and
Archer's machine purchased by the
Government. Great Britain began is
suing perforated stamps in 1854 and
the other stamp issuing countries
adopted the idea"

The evening speaker was Clinton
N. Howard, of Washington, D. c., su-
perintendent of the International Re-
form Federation. Citing what he
termed "regrettable conditions" pre-
vailing in this country as a result of
the expenditure in 1945. of 100 mil
lion dollars for advertising by manu-
facturers of alcoholic beverages and
seven billion dollars spent by the ma
tion in that year for the consumption
of liquor and beer, he predicted the
eventual return of prohibition in the
United States. Mr.. Howard was heard
by large group including delegates
from all over the state and the pub

FIFTH FREEDOM

Calling for a Fifth Freedom, the
Freedom from Federal Meddling,
Colonel Edward T. Miller, Republi-
can candidate for Congress for the
nine Eastern Shore Counties, in a
speech this week, pied for the right
of the American farmer to work with
out government Interference. He
warned that new Federal plan, call
ed crop guides" is now in the MAX
ing in Washington which is designed
once again to set acreage limitations
on major crops such as wheat, corn,
soybeans, etc. Our Eastern Shore
with it's 100000 acres of farm land
is vital.y concerned will any FEEDER
al crop control program" Colonel
Miller said.
Government crop controls have
not been successful--they cannot
fOresee the hazards either of wealth.
er or blight such as destroyed be-
tween 40 and SO per cent of this
years tomato crop. But in spite of
this fact, the Federal planners are
again studying this country's crop
needs IN the hope, they say, of stav
ing off reproduction. And yet" ="
Colonel Miller said, I'VE are told it
will be years before world crop pro
duction can meet world needs
Colonel Miller pointed out that dur
ing three years of pre-war scarcity
pragram," when every third row was
being plowed under and six million
little pigs were slaughtered, this
country actually imported twice as
much wheat as we exported and in
1887 alone we brought in 234 4,000,-
600 pounds of pork. But so loathe
were the Federal planners to give up
their control, that it wasn't until
we'd been in war more than a year
that the straight jacket was taken off
the wheat farmers
Last year in our nine Eastern
Shore Counties" Colonel Miller said,
I'VE planted 214,000 acres of corn
which produced almost seven million
bushels, and 136,978 acres in wheat
which produced 3,089,2SS bushels.
How much the Eastern Shore will be
permitted to plant next year if this
long-ra- sc program goes through is
not yet known. This time the FEEDER
al planners say that they are not 60
ing to penalize the farmer in cash
penalties, but are setting up a system
of 'indiecrt penalties for those who
won't comply with their crop guides. ;
"Thc American farmer can and
will feed us all, and in addition, con-
tribute largely to world needs, if he
is allowed to work unhampered," Col
Miller said, "but before this country
can resume it's progress, our people
must be freed of Fedearl restrictions
that hamstring free production, free
production which has developed this
country from that of handful of
pineers battling a wilderness, to a
people possessed of the highest liv-
ing standard in the world.
"'To continue that progress" Col.
Miller said, 1--WE need a great and
sweeping Fifth Freedom-the free
dom which up until the last 13 years
we tool, for granted and so have
largely lost-the Freedom from Fed
eral Interference"

hot-spot so that the COP will have a

sentatives. BUT even the most opti-
mistic Republicans concede that the
Senate will remain in charge of the
Democrats. But don't put this item

HAD ENOUGH?
BY j. Il. Jones

BY j. e. Jones
Washington, d. c., October ID
William Green, president of the
American Federation of Labor, re-
Gently said: Labor has come to the
conclusion that the time kas come to
drop artificial Government controls
which have kept the Nations econo-
my off balance. If we ever expect to
restore peacetime conditions in
Ameicra we must first restore peace
time freedoms" And John O'Leary,
United Mine Workers vice president
expressed a similar opinion, observ-
ing: "Uunquestionably, the proper
demand is for repal of Government
control The people are tired of
bureaucracy. They are tired of being
told what wage they can earn, what
price they must pay, what food and
necessities they can buy
Eric Johnston, noted business lead
er, wko is a member of the Federal
Reconversion Advisory Board, gave
the administration that appointed
him somewhat of a shock the other
day when he stated that the time had
come for an rend of the fiction of
controls" that has produced the pre-
sent situation, which Johnston de-
scribed as IAN open invitation to-
more black markets, and tomorrow
bankruptcy"
The National Editorial Association
and State Editorial Associations are
demanding an end to newsprint price
control. They have Had Enough"
The Department of Agriculture re-
ports that prices at the present time,
are "about twice as high as either
1858 or 1909-14." The Depart
ment approves queer plan to ship
Mexican livestock into the United
States 10 relieve our meat shortage.
A conservative estimate places the
loss of pay by the average striker in
tke automobile industry at about
5000. With increased wages it will
take a long time, if ever, for each
and every one of those men to re-
place that amount of money in their
savings.
Federal officials have been warning
against imitation in the future when
as a matter of fact we have had in
flation for many months since the
close of the war.
The industrial life of Pittsburgh
furnishes a tragic story of damages
due to recent strikes. The power
plants closed and so did tke public
utilities. Over 100000 workers were
laid off and the loss in business and
payrolls was conservatively estimat-
ed at S15 100000 a day. All but two
of 131 companies producing indus
trial goods were forced to close their
plants.
Who's to blame?
The sinners seem to be Bureau
Gratis and Autocrats. Those "Crats"
have been in power since the close OF
the war. The principal agencies,
suck as the OPA, should have been
discarded long ago. Communism is
deeply entrenched in many big cities
and J. Edgar Hoover recently pointed
out tke dangers existing in tnat neck
of the reds.
Price control is slowing down pro-
duction all along the line, in big and
small business.
There is breach between the AFL
and the CIO, and they have disagreed
over strikes and shutdowns.
Isn't it time to get back to the old
plans, formulas, and practices of pre-
war times when human relations
were managed by the people of the
Nation instead of the bosses who op-
crate under the authority of the Fed
eral Government. Their experiments
and arrangements rarely ever work.
Haven't we chad ENOUGH"
