corn production methods.
Mr.. and Mrs. Robinson began
farming as tenants following their
marriage in 1885. Thirteen years
later they began buying 40 acres,
and paid out two years later. They
rent an additional IL acres.
The family has built an attract
i've home with some guidance from
their home demonstration agent,
Mrs. Addie H. Jones. Their next
step is to install fixtures in their
bathroom just as soon as they can
add few more cows and further
increase their milk production.
Progress has not been rapid on
the Robinson farm, but it has been
steady, and they are proud of
their advancement. They are
proud, too, that their efforts to
follow the advice of their agents
had some part in helping the
county extension staff merit a
Superior Service Award.

Drilling Plunge
Showing Let-Up

Dallas-The rapid plunge of &C.
tive rotary drilling operations
which has been underway since
December showed signs of letting
up during the week ended January
26, according to count by Hughes
Tool Co.
A report to American Associa-
ton of Oilwell Drilling Contractors
showed net loss of only 20 rigs
during the week as several areas
bounced back into more active
operations.
Hughes counted 1893 units busy
during the week compared to 1922
a week earlier.
Texas, which has suffered much
of the loss of active drilling, show
ed the largest gain with a net
increase Of 16 rigs. Mississippi
and New Mexico each had six ad-
ditional rigs busy. Lesser gains
were scattered.
More than offsetting these in
creases were continued declines in
some states led by Louisiana with
net loss of 20 units. Oklahoma
was close behind with Is less rigs
busy.
Canadian drilling rose somewhat
with ID additional rigs in opera
ton bringing the total to PIT.
Total United States and Cana
dian operations numbered 2010.
This compared with POPS a week
earlier, 1864 month ago and with
2O83 in the comparable period of
1858.
Following are totals by states
showing number of rigs active dur
ing the week ended January 26,
1859. Comparative figures are
shown for year ago.

Doubling Up Of Taxes
Being Probed by City

While taxation is one of those
two things no one escapes,
double taxation is carrying
things a bit too far according
to the Rockville council which
is conducting a study into the
situation concerning several
hundred Rockville families.
City Attorney William A. Lin
thicum reported to the City
Council last week that an i'm
mediate solution to the county
city overlapping of taxation
might lie only in court action.
The alternative of going to
the State Legislature appeared
bleak for immediate action
since the 1860 session will con-
Germ only statewide needs.
The council set December 8
for all affected citizens to meet
with 1t to discuss the situation.
Former Mayor Dickran Y.
Hovsepian, who moved into a
new home in Meadow Hills, sew
eral months ago, informed the
city council and the Montgom-
cry county council that he was
being taxed by both bodies for
recreation, parkland acquisition
and park planning.
This was costing Hovsepian
and his neighbors 16 and one
half cents per 500 more than
fairly-taxed citizens of Rock
vile paid.
When Geeraer's Second Ad-
dition to Twinbrook Forest,
known as Meadow Hills, was
annexed to the city it was un-
derstood the county would con-
tinue water and sewer serv-
Ice. Because of this the city has
given those affected a tax dis
count.
The city was TO provide rec.
reation and all park services.
However, the county tax bills
did not reflect this.
The recreation tax, accord
ing to Linthicum, is levied by
authority of the county and can
be handled by direct approach to
the county. For the other two
taxes, court action may be need
ed for immediate relief.

the Maryland-National Capital
Park and Planning Commission.
The money source is the Cap
per-Cramton Act-which will
be all but depleted unless Con-
gress refills the Golfers.
Not only must a heretofore
wary Congress refill &C Golfers,
the National Capital Planning
Commission must approve of
the local Planning Commissions
amended plan.
While the 2900 acres are un-
der the planning jurisdiction of
the M-NCPPC, none have been
been acquired other than
small portion bordering Veirs
Mill I'd. at Rockville's edge.
Purchase of watershed land
seems a formidable task as well
as an extremely expensive one.
Pending legislation would
give the Capper-Cramton Act
up to $4.5 grant money and SO
million in loans, according to
Jesse w. Nicholson, Planning
Commission secretary.
If the 1900 acres were evalu-
ated at $500 an acre, their cost
would be $7,250,000. The Coun-
ty has the authority to levy a
park tax of five cents per 800
valuation of the land, which lies
in the old Metropolitan District,
but the levy is not in effect.
Other sources of revenue are
available to the Planning Com
mission to help pay for the huge
watershed park: the Farm and
Home Administration of the De-
partment of Agriculture has
funds for acquisition of land to
be used for lakes and dams; the
Soil Conservation Service has
funds disable for dam construc-
ton; the Inland Game and Fish
Commission would pay to stock
lakes and maintain stream
banks.
All of these additional funds,
however, would not make much
of a dent in the overall cost of
the land-much of which is
owned by persons who don't
want to sell.
Most Of the land that would
adjOin the watershed park Is
zOned in half-acre lots. Owners
of the land might sell off stream
valley holdings II they were
granted denser coming in order
to build commercially profitable
subdivisions.
But subdivisions near the
park are just what the Planning
Commission Is desperately try
ing to avoid. fearing that multi
family homes and paved subdi-
vision streets will divert millions
of gallons of runoff rain into
the creek. Such additional flow
would negate the purpose of the
two flood detention dams pro-
posed for the forked Rock Creek
