Maryland 10 Receive
|S2,S55,OO0 in US. Aid
In 5 Farm Programs
by the Assoeiofsd Press

Maryland will receive approx
mately $2,855 900 in Federal pay
ments and loans under five agri-
culture programs for the year
ending next July l, or $906,000 less
than the preceding year.
The figures cover funds for soil
conservation, school lunches, forest
fire prevention and farm tenant
and production and subsistence
loans.
They do net include the Rural
Electrification Administration pro-
gram which has authorized more
than $2,300,000 in construction by
two co-operatives.
2 Co-operatives to Get Aid.
The REA said the Southern
Maryland Electric Cooperative
Inc, at Waldorf and the Choptank
Electric Cooperative, Inc, at Den
ton, together plan building pro-
grams with total expenditures OF
between s500,0oo and 81 ,o0o, 900, de-
pending on availability of materials
About 10 per cent of farms in
the State are now electrified, the
REA said.
The totals for soil conservation
are only approximate. These pay
ments are based on the calendar
year beginning January l, while
appropriations by Congress are
made for the fiscal year beginning
July /.
Broken down by programs, this
is how Federal funds shape up for
the State:
Soil conservation: This agency
allotted the State $2,046,000 on
January for 194S, but this was
slashed to $1,616,000 after Congress
in June reduced the amount avail
able nationally from $265, 600, ,000
to $235, ,0O0, 900.
There Is no comparable 1916
figure available but the depart
ment estimates roughly that it was
close to the $2,046,000 originally
set aside this year.
1896, 157 for Lunches.
! school !uncheS: A total OF $596, lo7
has been set aside tentatively for
the 1948 fiscal year, which began
last July l, including s497, 1882 for
public schools and $98,325 for
private schools.
This compares to initial appropri-
ations last year of $465, ,064 for pub
llic schools and $91,853 for pri-
vate, subsequently raised by sup
Elemental appropriations to $613, ,727
for public schools.
Forest fire prevention: The State
has been allotted $4,000 this year
against S82, 1888 last year.
Farm tenant loans: Obligations
last year to farmers wanting to buy
the land they had been working as
nonowners totaled $368,937 Con.
templated 1948 distribution is $780,.
coo.
Production and subsistence loans
1947 obligations on these loans, in.
tended to aid farmers in changing
from one type of farming to an.
other, amounted to $618,982. The
1948 program calls for s432, 800.

BY Anna Belle Foster
When you pull on the oars you Get somewhere
And the floor of your boat you lift
And it cuts through the foam and tide and the air:
When you rest on your oars-you drift
AS long as you struggle YOU rise and climb
Up the ruggedest mountainsde
And you'll reach where you're going somewhere sometime:
But when you stop cimbing-you slide.
AS long as you're trying you're going ahead
AS the prize is sure to be won,
For you're going the way the winners have led
But when you stop trying-you're done
