Maryland PIMA Told
Crop Control Is Best
Way 10 Avoid Surplus
BY the Associated Pres,

BALTIMORE, Mar. 1o.-"The
future of the price support pro-
gram is swaying before your eyes, -
an official of the Production and
Marketing Administration warned
yesterday.
Elmer F. Kruse, assistant adj
ministrator of commodity opera
tons Of the PIMA, advised farmers
to submit to production controls
as the best way to avoid food
SURPRISES.
Speaking at the annual conven-
ton of the State PIMA Committee,
Mr.. Kruse pointed to public criti-
cism Of the potato and egg sur
plus situation and said the public
would. demand an end to price
supports unless the farmers can
solve the surplus situation.
Can Limit Acreage.
Under the present law, farmers
can voluntarily limit their acre
age to avoid overproduction of
any crop. but if SURPRISES occur,
the Government is required TO
purchase the over-supply.
Mr.. Kruse also said the Fed
eral Government should learn to
barter instead of employing the
policy Of cash on the barrel
head" il foreign trade. He said
farm SURPRISES could be exchanged
for the production of foreign
countries.
The farmers and county COM
mitteemen attending the opening
session of the two-day meeting
also heard Martin Sorkin, a PIMA
marketing specialist, report that
net farm income had dropped
from peak of $18 billion in
1947 to $13.8 billion in 1949 and
is expected to dip to about $12
billion this year.
Other Speakers Listed.
Mr.. Sorkin maintained the drop
would have been even faster and
sharper If it had not been for
the price-support program.
Other speakers included Gov.
Lane, Clyde A. Zehner. chairman
OF the Pennsylvania State PIMA
Committee; DR.. Albin o. Kuhn,
head OF the agronomy department
OF the University of Maryland;
Dudley c. Aist. chief Of the PMA's
State programs operating divi-
sion; c. Ely Wickham, administra-
tive f1eldman for PIMA, and JOS

Four Republicans Due
To Enter Maryland
Race for Governor
By J. |. Mjchoel

At least four persons will seek
the Republican nomination for
Governor of Maryland.
Three announced their candi-
dacies yesterday but planned to
delay formal filing of their names
until after a State wide meeting
of party leaders late this month.
They are State Senator Roy
Tasco Davis of Montgomery
County, Thomas B. r. Mudd of
Charles County and D. John Mar
key of Frederick County.
A fourth candidate, Royden A.
Blunt, Baltimore manufacturer, is
reported ready to file next Thurs
day.
Senator Davis, a former diplo-
mat, who is head of the Inter-
American Schools Service of the
American Council on Education,
contended that formal filing be-
fore the meeting of Republican
officials would be embarrassing
to everyone concerned"
I'VE must aim for party har-
mony," he declared. with Demo-
cratic ranks apparently about to
be decimated by dissension, our
chances are the best in years and
there should be no schism left
when the meeting ends.
His opinion was echoed by Mr..
Mudd, a son of the late former
Representative Sidney A. Mudd
and a brother of former Repre-
sentative Sidney A. Mudd, and. a
brother of former Representative
Sidney A. Mudd, jr.
"At this convention, party lead
ers will discuss and possibly select
candidate" he said. II am
among those who want to be
Governor but I would consider it
improper to file before those who
would be asked to support me
have had chance to pass on my
qualifications"
Mr.. Marley. who lost to Senator
O'Conor, Democrat, by a narrow
margin in the last Senate election
also believed it advisable to wait
until after the meeting.
Party leaders should have a
chance to thrash over such i'm
portant questions even though
they reach no decision" he
asserted.

was one of the busiest on the
B. & O.'s metropolitan branch be-
tween Washington and Point of
Rocks, Md. It entered its heyday
after the seminary was established
in 1888. Business grew to such an
extent that the station was re-
modelled in 1928.
Later, however, the railroad
found it increasingly difficult to
compete with automobiles and
buses. The station received its
death blow during the war when
the seminary renamed National
Park College in 1887, was taken
over by the Army as a hospital. It
remained in use, however, until
1948.
At one time. the railroad ran
as many as 20 local trains. day
over the line. as far as Brunswick,
40 miles from Washington. This
service has been cut until only
two westbound and three south
bound trains now operate daily be-
tween the two points.

There are plenty of good rid
ing horses around here" he said
Il guess business will get even
better when the horse show sea-
son starts soon.
Blacksmith shops are pretty
far apart nowadays" he went on
cts hard, sometimes, to get
horses shoed properly. Some
blacksmiths send readymade shoes
to a mans farm, but it isn't al
ways easy to get the right fits
that way"
Mr.. Warren said his university
course-which costs $345 for Il
Weeks-emphasized the irnpor-
lance of shoe weights as well as
fits.
He's proud of the diploma the
university awarded him.
Temporarily he is staying at
the farm of Mr.. and Mrs. Ray
Mills on Lemon road, near Falls
Church. When he finds a house
he plans to bring his wife and
two children down from New
Hampshire.
