Not All Agree About The Quality
OF Education Received In County

That all citizens of the county
do not agree about the quality of
the education children receive in
cur schools is indicated in re-
lease received too late for consider
alton last week..
County Commissioner Wesley l..
Sauter of Bethesda, after meeting
with a group there is quoted as
saying:
Il am more firmly convinced than
ever that the educational facilities
offered to the children of Mont
gomery County are not entirely to
the satisfaction of some of our
intelligent American parents. If
the present trend of education in
our County, in our Free State of
Maryland and across our nation is
not curbed Immediately, the next
few years will see our children
indoctrinated into the ways of
Socialism and lacking in those

teachings which our A merican tax
payers have. a right to expect from
our public school system"
The meeting was attended by
business men, government Off
Gals, teachers, civic organization
members and many parents, who
have pledged themselves to bring
the control of the publl' schools
where it belonSs-into the hands
of the taxpaying residents of
Montgomery County.
Case after case of lack of disci-
pline, and inadequate "3R" and
American History teaching were
presented by members of the
group. In many cases, documented
proof was shown of how poorly
children with otherwise high in
telligence ratings showed up when
tested in the RS and American
by standards other than
those of the Montgomery County
school system.
at is an unfortunate situation
that we have system of educa-
ton in our county," said Commits
sioner Sauter, (which compels our
fine parents and teachers to take
measures to get for our children
those teachings which should al
ready be in our schools. 1t is not
compatible with the traditional
way that our teachers
are forced, through fear of losing
their positions, to use a system of
schooling which they know to be
Ineffective and inadequate"

state and the substantial financial
value realized is indicated by the
following figures:
In 1947, 818 members fattened a
total of 949 steers and realized a net
profit Of $127, 701.42. Four hundred
thirty-one members raised 500 head
of breeding stock for a net profit of
$~67,833.80. In sheep projects 274
members raised 1864 head for a net
profit of $16,307.0 5 and in swine, 425
members raised 1858 head for a net
profit of $38,658.15. Thus, in 1947
alone, the total net proceeds from
the various livestock projects
amounted to 50,500.42.
The total net income of such prof.
ects since they were first begun in
1892 is $815, 15o.50.

Al Livestock Projects
A Major Feature of State Program
By F. A. RALSTON, Extension Livestock Specialist

THE EDUCATIONAL VALUE of
all All club work is recognized
throughout the United States, and
youth activities patterned on our
club program, have been started in
many foreign countries. The educa-
tional value is only one of many
benefits that are derived from this
work. Among others, the program
includes community service and
health activities which builds leader
ship.
In the agricultural field livestock
clubs predominant, and some of our
good Montana stockmen today are
former All boys who have built up
herds through a start with a All
calf.

ing projects in areas where fatten-
ing was practiced. Club members
we're encouraged, and still are, to
raise all or most of the feed for a
fattening project on their farm. Fat
tening projects are primarily to teach
farm boys and girls to select, care
for, and feed animals efficiently.
Start Small
Club members are encouraged to
start in a small way with possibly
one beef calf or two lambs. Then, if
they + interested in livestock and
in feeding, the project should be
enlarged to include more animals.
Thus, a club member, after a year or
two can pretty well determine
whether he has a particular interest
in this type of agriculture. The same
is true for other projects.
If a club member feeds for several
years and is successful, he is en-
couraged to carry a beef breeding
project, either starting out with a
heifer calf or an older animal, but
through a beef breeding project the
club member can gradually work
into the cattle business on his own.
The same applies in swine, sheep or
dairy projects.
Each member in any livestock
project keeps an accurate record of
his project, the cost of the animal
amount and cost of the feed bought,
cost of the hay and pasture used
and estimate of labor. This with the
gains made gives the average gain
per day, cost of gain and profit or
loss on the project. Included in the
gross return r premiums and other
awards at shows and fairs.
Varied Activities
Included in livestock projects, in
some cases as a requisite and others
as an activity, are other things as
sociated with the livestock business
range and pasture management,
grass and weed Identification, poison
plant Identification and control, in
sect and parasite control. These tend
to give club members a better UNI
Outstanding of the livestock indus
try and is a help in assisting them
in determining their future work.
Many instances can be cited of re-
suits of All livestock work. Some
former All members are now lead
ing livestock men in their commu-
nifty with a background based ON
facts they learned by feeding or with
a few breeding animals. Numerous
father and son partnerships have
resulted from these small begin
nings.
A summary of livestock projects
for the past Is years is of consider
able interest not only in the number
of boys and girls which have par
ticipated but in the total number OF
animals, and the gross income from
these junior livestock projects. In
cluded in the net income are pre-.
miums and awards won which make.
this somewhat higher than it would
be otherwise.
Since 1910, there has been a con.
siderable increase in the beef breed,
ing project. Most of the animals il
this project are range or grade ami

]. James Ashton, Manager of the
Council, land pedestrians must
stay alert so they don't get hurt"
In fact, the older you are, the more
careful you must be. The pedes-
trian death rate for persons 65
years and older is more than four
times the national average, and
the rate for persons As to GA years
old is next highest. This is an
dangerous time of the
year for pedestrians, according to
Mr.. Ashton, He pointed out that
the most important single reason
for the seasonal variations in ped
estrian death totals is the greatly
increased danger after nightfall,
and fall and winter mean earlier
darkness. Mr.. Ashton urged all
pedestrians to obey traffic signals
and signs, to cross streets only at
intersections and to stay within
the crosswalks. Remember, he
said, "safe walking pays-it

CONSERVATION
FARM PLANS '49
Practices Approved for Farm
ers Who Cooperate in 1949
Conservation Program
ASSISTANCE HIGHER

Farmers of Delaware should plan
now to increase their efforts
against the forces which are des-
troying the productivity of our
land, says C. e. Ocheltree, state
chairman of the Delaware Produc-
tion and Marketing Administration
Committee. Ocheltree points to a
number of conservation practices
which have been approved for use
of farmers of Delaware who coop
crates in the 1949 Agricultural
Conservation Program. These
practices include: application of
lime and phosphate, seeding of
winter cover crops, seeding of
small grain cover crops, establish
ing permanent pastures, construct
ing open ditch drainage systems,
forest tree planting, and improving
stands of forest trees. Farmers
cooperating in the 1949 Agricultur-
al Conservation Program may OBJ
tain assistance in carrying out one
or more of these practices on their
farms. This assistance is in the
form of materials, services and
sharing in the cost of the practice.
1t amounts to about half of the
cost. Conservation practice funds
authorized for 1949 will be nearly
double the amount available for
the 1948 program. With this ad-
ditional assistance farmers of Del
aware should be able to carry out
considerably more conservation
work than has been done under
this years program. Assistance
to any one farmer under the 1949
program will be limited to $3.50.
This limit is $500 for the 194S pro-
gram.

He grinned suddenly. ''You wait

She heard the humble of his

They stood together at the curb,

He kissed her gently. Then he

to wave. Then he was gone.
She found a cab to take her to
her hotel and told them at the
desk she was leaving. In her room
she packed carefully, taking plenty
of time. 1t was almostnoon before
she was ready to leave. Carrying
her bag, she went to the taxi at the
curb. Then, quite suddenly, she
