Progress of agriculture in | h (
state and nation formed the them
of Carson's address. He pointed
out the increase in farm Output
by % per cent during the period
l95O-l958. and added the population
increased Is per cent.
Changes in the System
To picture the changes in various
types of agriculture, the far n
leader cited statistics which show
ed an Is per cent reduction II
dairy farms during the last ten
years. las we change our system
of farming, we. use less labor on
the farm. but require more workers
in industry to keep farm labor go
ing" declared Carson The total la
Dor force in farming remains con-
slant at approximately Is per cent
of the national labor force, but that
includes those producing supplies
processing. etc, noted the speaker
The per cent OF workers who find
employment on the farm fell from
33 in 1910 to So in 1859. Carson
added that by 1875 only five PEI

be required for strictly farm en-
ployment if present trends continue.
In Virginia II per cent Of the labor

Reasons for Change
We have changed our concept
Of farming said Carson. The rea-
sons for the change he cited were.

fiber for himself and "A others
whereas in 1900 he performed the
same task for only seven additional
persons. S. per cent Of the farm

the total goods; the investment per
farm has more than doubled, and
since 1910 farm production h s

BRITONS PUSH PLUS FOURS
Battle Taking Shape
Over Golfers Dress

LONDON. April 10 (AP).-In
matters of golf dress. Britons
always have been the plus
fours type while Americans
have been slackers.
Now, it develops, a battle is
shaping up between the two
schools Of golf dress.
Mems fashion designers in
London are pushing their new
plus-fours lines as "the good
look for the good golfer"
They swear they will have us
all out of Stacks and into
knickers in a couple of years.
At a score of recent fashion
shows on London's haberdasher
row, male models have been
showing off the golf Knockers.
They looked little like Gene
Sarazen and Bobby Jones, who
in their prime were plus-fours
men. But they got the point
across anyway.
Knockers are the designers
gimmick and they are to be
pushed hard here and in
America.
British designers-correctly or
incorrectly-claim they deter
mine styles here and in the
United States. To help take
interest away from

poned because of wet grounds,
Clemson may have to face the
hottest college pitcher in these
parts when the Atlantic Coast
Conference champions come to

Dick Reitz has pitched 20
scoreless innings and owns a
81 record for the Terps. He
pitched a perfect game last
Thursday to defeat Johns Hop
kins, 100, called after seven
innings because Of rain.
But Clemson can counter
with Lefthander Harold Stowe,
the best pitcher in the ACC
last season with a 14-4 record,
1875 strikeouts in 1888 in
nings and 2.35 earned run aver
age.
Like Reitz, Stowe has won
three Of four decision this
spring. He beat Maryland, go,
at Clemson March % when he
famed eight and walked two
in seven innings.
Clemson, which got to the
NCAA semiflnals last year, had
a 40 record this season before
losing to North Carolina and
NC State last week. NC State
and Wake Forest have 81 rec
ords in the ACC and Maryland

Seek Referendum
On Revumping of
Stute Race Group

A group Of prominent horse
men, headed by Stuart S. jan
ney. former chairman of the
Maryland Racing Commission,
today began a move to head
off a change in the present
commission setup.
The group will seek a State
wide referendum on a measure
passed recently by the Mary
land Legislature abolishing the
current three man Racing Com
mission and establishing a new
five-man body in its stead.
The measure has not yet been
signed into law by Gov. Tawes
and the group headed by jan
ney, a Baltimore attorney,
hopes to suspend action on it.
The bill would end the present
commissions tenure May 81
and allow the Governor to APP
point a new racing BODY the
following day.
Janney's group must obtain
5000 voters signatures by
June / to make their move eff
fective. If they succeed, they
will have until July / to raise
this total to 10000. That would
be sufficient to force a refer
endum in the next general cleo
ton in 1860.

New style golf knickers are
more like plus threes-they are
narrow in the leg, snug over
the hips and worn without a
belt.
They don't bag below the
knee near as far as the plus
tours of Sarazen and Jones.
Another busting off of an
old and almost forgotten idea
is the matching of the Knockers
with a neat, three-button,
single-breasted jacket. This
jacket carries the punch in
the line.
Americans are getting more
dress conscious and colorful at

be just the thing for a real
