Bumper Crop Loss Is Feared
In MARYLAND STORAGE Problem

day. a job that formerly took
weeks or months.
Farmers have failed to improve
farm storage facilities along with
increased yields and better har-
vesting methods.
1T used to be-" Mr.. Blandford
said, that a farmer would shock
his corn in the field and shuck
it out over a long time. Moisture
was seldom problem then.
Now he uses a picker and
harvests his crop in a day. Not
only does he have storage prob
lens. but the corn is usually too
wet to be stored without damage
Explains Support Program.
| { he Explained that under the
corn support program, ear corr
must contain not more than 2OH
per cent moisture, and shellec
corn not more than 1871 per cent
when it is stored. Farm drying
facilities are inadequate to handle
the picked corn, particularly il
the harvest season should be
wet.
The Government considers the
grain storage problem in this
area up to the farmers, Mr.
Blandford said. He believes this
area offers a field for farmer CO.
operatives.
while farmer may purchase
for about $500 a metal bin that
will store 1000 bushels of corn, -
he said. "a dryer will cost him
more than $1,000. This cost is
too high for the average farmer
But co-operatives could be
formed" he continued, "that would
solve this storage and drying prob
lem on a community basis. Farm
ers in many sections of Ohio and
other States have solved their
storage problems by means Of CO.
operative facilities"
Mr.. Blandford said the Govern
ment is giving every assistance to
farmers with storage problems.
He said farmers who wish to build
storage bins may borrow money at
low interest rates from the Gov
|ernment.
These loans, he said. are pay
able in five years and may be
made for IS per cent of the cost
of the completed project, or for
IS cents per bushel storage space
whichever is the most favorable
to the farmer.
Some farmers are going to lose
money on corn this fall, but how
many and how much is anybody S
guess" he said.
1T will depend on what the
farmers themselves do between
now and harvest time, how the
corn is harvested and on the
weather"

8 Herndon Burg|aries
Believed Solved With
Arrest Of Two Youths

With the apprehension of two
Manassas (Va.D youths. Fairfax
County police yesterday an
nnounced the solution of the bur-
glaries of eight Herndon CONNER
cial establishments and an at
tempt to enter the State liquor
store there.
One of the youths is a juvenile
and the other was listed by Fair
fax County Detective Chief Graf
ton Wells as Charles Kelliher, 18.
Capt. Wells and Detective Sergt
Cecil Brown gave the following
account:
When police learned the stores
at Herndon and nearby Chan
tilly had been broken into Mon.
day night, they suspected it might
be the work of persons who bur.
glarized several Manassas stores
and ransacked the Prince William
County court house there recently
This belief prompted them to
notify Manassas authorities.
Shortly afterward, Manassas
reported recovery of stolen car
which had been wrecked on the
road between Hoadley and Ma
nassas. In the car and the sur
rounding woods were articles,
chiefly wearing apparel, which
had been taken from the Hern-
don stores.
Wednesday, Deputy Sheriff 7. D.
Wheeling of Prince Villa m
County. and State Trooper r. E
Pope halted cars on the Hoadley-
Manassas road until they found a
woman who had given two youths
lift from the vicinity of the
wrecked car the morning before.
Later Manassas Police Chief
c. S. Sinms arrested Kelliher as
he walked down the street, clad,
police said. in clothing taken in
the Herndon burglaries. Cues
tionine of Kelliher led police to
the younger boy. Part of the
Herndon area loot was found in
the homes Of the pair.
Kelliher has been charged with
automobile theft in Prince Will
liam County, and Fairfax police
have issued warrants for his ar
rest on nine separate charges OF
housebreaking and larceny.
Capt. Wells said he hopes to be
able to present the charges tc
the Fairfax County grand jury
which will convene Monday.
Sergt. Brown said a safe in one
Herndon store was broken oper
and about 500 taken. He said
an unsuccessful attempt was made
to cut the bars on the window OF
the ABC store and an acetylene
torch was found abandoned
nearbV.

ing an end to the city's water

plies surrounding Fairfax County

Water Line Ahead of Schedule.
Construction of a 14-mile water
line to Chain Bridge is IS days
ahead Of schedule. the city mana

This possibility. however, is con-
Sidered remote.

SEWARD SEAPORT RECORD Tues May 94e-Seward Aaa

Headquarters, 18th Marine Corps Reserve District.
 For more than a year small par ties have been securing the Pacific islands, digging rifles out of the sand, pulling old jeeps and tanks out of swamps, dragging Diesels out of jungles, hauling field pieces out of forgotten dumps and even retrieving old mess tins. The junk is being carried back to BarstoW, California, where Marines and civil ian employees have hammered it back into shape. It is estimated that 90 percent of Marine Corps World War II weapons will be re- covered. The Leathernecks have dug up 15O,000 rifles and have re- built some 3O00O or more. They are still digging up in excess of 4,000 a month.
 No wonder the Marine Corps has the reputation of putting the best men in the field at minimum cost to the taxpayers.

 Federal Child-Labor Law

Juneau-Although Alaska terri torial law permits children under IA to work in cannery warehouses, a 16-year age minimum applies un- der the Federal Fair Labor Stan dards Act to warehouse and other jobs in or about the canneries if these jobs are part of the con- tinuous canning process. In hazar- dous occupations, a higher mini mum-18 years-applies.
 This was pointed out by L. E. Evans, Territorial Representative, Wage and Hour Public Contracts Divisions, U. S. Department of Labor. He reminds Alaska fish canners that the Federal law ap- plies if they ship canned fish or other goods in interstate commerce or deliver them for shipment with in 30 days after an under-age child has been employed in the estab- iishment.
 Alaska canners should clearly understand" said Evans, that the Federal child labor provisions ap- ply to all occupations in or about cannery which have to do with the continuous canning process or which require the performance of duties in a room where any manufacturing or canning pro- ooccoc OTTO DorrioI on
 "The continuous canning pro- cess includes all operations which take place on the products to be canned from the time they are re- ceived at the cannery until they are labeled packed in cases for shipment and the cases stacked"
 The l6-year minimum also ap plies to manufacturing or process ing jobs which are not part of the canning processes, he indicated, such as laundry or cookhouse work.
 Jobs are restricted to employees Is years of age and over, under h azar ous occupations orders WHICH apply III t1iC try, are driving or helping on a motor vehicle; operating power driven hoisting apparatus; and op erating power driven woodworking machines, Evans said
 In Alaska, an employer can es- tablish minors proof of age by keeping on file a birth or bap tismal certificate, or a statement based on census records of the Alaska Native Service For minors recruited from the states for sea- sonal work in Alaska, State age or employment certificate is ac- ceptable proof of age,
