A, Burns said.
All farmers with allotments for
1858 wheat will shortly receive
notification of the payment which
will be made on their farms for
land placed in the Acreage Re-
serve. With this figure at hand,
farmers can then decide if they
will take part in the Reserve Pro
gram for the 1858 wheat crop.
Several changes have been
made in the program for 1858,
Burns advised. These include a
top limit of $1,000 total earnings
for any person through the Acre
age Reserve Program and the es.
Enlistment of Soil Bank Bases
and permitted acreages to limit
total paintings on Acreage Re
serve farms. Usual restrictions on
grazing or harvesting crops from
the Reserve acreage will still pre-.
vail. The farmer will also be re-
sponsible for controlling the
spread of noxious weeds from Re
serve land.
Farmers are cautioned that il
they place land in the Reserve
for 1858 the land may not be
withdrawn and the agreement can
celled after October 4, the last
date when new agreemnts may
be accepted.

Maryland Corn
Crop Way Down;
Tobacco Off Too

The Maryland and Delaware
corn crops this year will be the
smallest in IA years. Maryland
tobacco output will be the small
est in II years.
| In statement released at Col
lege Park, on the gloomy crop
outlook, Creighton N. Guellow OF
the Observation-Disclosures Crop Re
porting Service said that the
worst drought since 1880 has re,
duced Maryland corn production
to little more than half of last
years bumper output. Production
is now placed at 16 million bush
els compared with % million bush.
els last year.
Tobacco output in Maryland is
expected to total around 80 mil
lion pounds-only about three
fourths as much as last year and
the smallest crop since 1915.
Soybean production in Mary
land is now expected to be down
about 25 per cent from a year ago,
but little above the 1855 output.
1t was pointed out that the pros
pective yield per acre at is
bushels in Maryland-is off sharp
ly from other recent years, but
the acreage for harvest is more
than double the 10-year average.
AS of August l, production of
soybeans in Maryland is estimated
at 3.3 million bushels.
This years hay crop in Mary
land - at SGT thousand tons -
is off II per cent from last year
and the smallest since 1914.
Drought has sharply curtailed
production of most vegetables.
Particularly hard-hit is sweet
corn planted for canning and
freezing. Production this year in
Maryland is now placed at only
40 thousand tons.
The drought has affected crop
output in virtually all parts of
the State except Allegany and
Garrett Counties.

Roger Tells
Why Welfare
Costs Rise

William E. Roger, director of
the Montgomery County Welfare
Department in reply to an edito-
rial in this paper last week, said
that the reason for an increase
in public assistance outlay was
the increase in population and be-
cause Montgomery County has
'higher Standards" and higher
payments for shelter of children
in foster care homes.
The figures quoted by this pa
per referred to the 1856 fiscal
year and showed that a total OF
$614, 206 went to public assistance,
11.2 per cent more than the previ.
Gus year. OF this figure, Mr.. Roy.
err said, $4,000 went for foster
care for children, $4,000 more
than the previous year.
Another reason for the higher
total outlay, Mr.. Roger said, was
the slight relaxation of public as
sistance eligibility requirements
which enabled more persons t
qualify for aid.
He also said that public assist
ance as a whole throughout tht
state was three times as high a!
in Montgomery County but tina
Montgomery county has a mucl
larger foster care program. Par
of the explanation for this, h
said, is the outstanding work o
the county's juvenile court. Mos
Maryland counties do not hav'
such courts.

First a trencher, which is a
small steam-shovel with the
shovel on backwards, dug a
trench, and dumped the dirt on
the road for you to have to get
past. Couldn't very well dump
it in peoples yards. Besides,
there were bushes in the way.)
Then torpedo carrier, which
is wide, squatty bulldozer with
out the blade and WITH a great
long crane sticking out in front,
numbered down to the corner to
pick up length of pipe When
the pipe was fastened to the
aforesaid crane, workman fitted
onto the pipe contraption that
looked like an diversified wedding
ring, which he slid along the
length with the help of a wand.
The wedding ring" was actually
an electric detector, feeling for
breaks in the pipes insulation.
Whenever it hit break, it rang
like telephone. That was a
signal for the workman to peel
off the paper covering, locate
the hole in the insulation, and
patch it UP.
With that done, the carrier wad-
died back up the road to the
trench and let the pipe down into
it. More workmen, waiting in
the hole, detached the crane and
let the carrier waddle away
again. Then they hitched the
new pipe to the previous lengths.
Almost Immediately a baby
bulldozer scurried up and started
showing the pile of dirt off the
street and back into the trench.
The racket of an air compress
sor accompanied all this activity.
1t furnished power for a couple
of those unwieldy CADETS that
look like street drills, but have
three inverted cups at the bot
tom, instead of a drill. AS the
dirt tumbled back into the trench,
workmen guided the dancing
cups to pack it in place.
The trencher, at the head of
the parade, edged foot by foot
along the street. But it was
amazing how close behind it came
the finishing steps, the bulldozer
and its companion, the dervish-
like earth-compactors. Most ex-
peditious!

Business Casts About
For Some 'Shot-in-Am'

there was the big pent-up de-
mand for consumer goods. 1t
took q few years to I'LL all these
desires and business doomed
during the process.
Then, just when industrial
activity was turning down,
there was a sudden splurge Of
defense spending as the United
States rearmed to fight the
Korean War and prepare itself
to meet any Communist threat.
The peak Of defense spending
passed and cutbacks in defense
orders sent industry downhill
for time.
But along came the sudden
consumer spending spree of
1855. Savings were drawn down
and credit totals were built up
to record highs. Business
doomed while it turned out all
the big-ticket items Americans
wanted to buy. whether for
cash or on the cuff.
This spree ran its course.
Consumer spending has stayed
high but such increase as it
shows now is largely a matter
OF higher prices. and industrial
durable goods aren't what the
public is seeking the most to
buy.
But in turn the consumer
spending spree succeeded by a
record expansion in business
spending for capital goods last
year and this. The economy
has been boosted once again
TO new heights.
Now this spending for new
plants and equipment shows
signs Of topping out, with a
decline believed likely next year.
Most Of the BUSINESS statistics
are high-if you close your eyes
to the part that inflated prices
play. But what is there to
send them higher?
