A major unresolved problem con-
fronting the S5th Congress is the
issue of wise farm legislation. No
adequate solution to the diff
culties of American agriculture
have so far been presented to the
Congress. My hope is that during
the coming session we may find a
now and lasting approach that will
benefit the farmer and the con-
sumner alike.
1t seems to me that future farm
legislation must consider means of
increasing the industrial uses Of
agricultural products and the en-
croachment of metropolitan areas
on our richest farm lands. Each of
these presents major difficulties.
| would like to see the Congress
next year provide for research
and study into new uses for agri-
cultural products. The Presidents
Commission on the Increased Uses
of Agricultural Products points out
that agriculture lags far behind
other industries in the search for
new and increased uses fer its
products.
The Commission, in part, says:
"In the past twenty-five years
agriculture often has been re
searched right out of its own natu-

especially with Oak leaves Also,
if it is windy, leaves blow away
unless they are weighted down
with boards. And sometimes leaves
may serve as convenient nesting
place for mice.
The landscape specialist says
peat moss is a good mulch because
it is light enough so it won't pack
down when wet and yet is heavy
enough so it will stay in place in
windy weather. Ground corn cobs,
barley hulls, well rotted sawdust
or barnyard manure are other good
mulches.

raj domains. Industry will continue
to explore the unknown in search
for new products and new uses for
old products.
Nothing is palmer in the economic
pattern of today than that agri-
culture must compete in the areas
of basic and applied research. Agri-
culture should be enabled to compete
as an equal in the contest for con-
sumner acceptance. 1t is now losing

I ON hopeful too, that Congress
will look into the increasing loss
of rich farm lands to our ever-eX
panding urban areas. The prospect
of a vast urban area extending
from Boston on the north to some
miles below Alexandria, Virginia,
on the south demands careful at
tention to the threatened loss of
agricultural lands and J'ccreational
areas.
Profit for the farmer depends on
markets for his products and his
costs of production. The pressure
to develop low unit costs in agricul-
ture has unquestionably forced the

Monument in County
Gives State Title
Of "Free State"

The only monument to call Mary
land the Free State" is atop
Backbone Mountain in Garrett
county
A story about the monument APP
peared in the rotogravure section
of the Baltimore Sunday Sun of
October 6, written by John c..
Schmidt.
1t is a concrete marker which
points out the highest spot on
route 50 east Of the Rockies. 1t
was erected in 1928 and constructed
by August Mencken, who was
heading a road building crew at
that time.
He had a bronze plaque made
and raid for it himself In fact he
had three plaques cast for the
marker. On the main one he in
scribcd the usual information that
appears on ruhlic projects: eleva-
ton. date, names of Roads Com
mission officials and the name of
the contractor.
On the second plaque he showed
the familiar sailing ship that was
for years the insignia of the State
Roads Commission On its sail is
the Maryland seal. Mr. Mencken
carved the wooden master for this
himself. as he did for a third
plaque which showed the Mencken
family coat of arms.
The bronze work was done by
founder in Baltimore. During its
erection he dropped in sealed
copper box full of trinkets.
OF the three plaques on the
shaft only two are visible from the
road. Mencken put the family coat
of arms around on the back of it.
When the road was widened the
contractors hauled it back into the
woods but filling station and mo-
tel owners protested so the con-
tractor returned and re-established
the shaft by the side of the road.
On the round seal on the front
of it. around the inside edge above
the ship. Mr. Mencken inscribed
the words Maryland Free State
This phrase, according to the
writer. Mr. Schmidt, goes back to
1923 when at the height of the de-
bate over prohibition a Georgia
congressman denounced Maryland
as a traitor to the country because
it had refused to pass State en-
forcemcnt act. The editor of The
Evening Sun, which had opposed
such an act, wrote mOck-Serlous
editorial headed The Maryland
Free State" in which he argued
that Maryland should withdraw
from the Union. The editorial was
not used. but the title caught on,
and the principle behind it found
one of its greatest champions in
August Mencken's brother, II. L.
Mencken.
Erecting the monument five
wears later August saw his chance
to memorabilia the slogan and took
advantage of it. To the best of his
knowledge it remains the only
monument in the whole state to
the Free State"

Mulches Reduce
Root Damage To
Ornamental Plants

Thermometers dropped to their
lowest points in years in some
parts of Maryland last winter, and
one of the effects of this weather
was damage to ornamental trees
and shrubs.
Actually, this kind of damage
can happen even in mild winters,
so protection for valued plants is
recommended, regardless of the
weather outlook.
1t is usually the root systems that
are damaged most during the
winter, according to Carl Johnson,
University of Maryland extension
Landscape specialist. And it isn't
long periods of cold weather that
do the damage SO much as sudden
| drops in temperature followed by
mild weather This alternate freez-
ing and thawing Of the ground
causes the plants to "heave'
breaking the small roots and sepa-
rating the roots from the earth
around them.
Mulching insulates the root area
against sudden temperature
changes. johnson says many things
can be used for mulching; prob
ably the most common method is
simply to rake leaves around the
plants.
Leaves, however, have couple
of disadvantages. When they ge'
wet they pack down and cut of
the air to the roots. This is true
