More Diesel
Tractors : Are They
Economical?

Recent trends toward diesel
tractors and tractors Of larger
sizes, both diesel and gasoline.
are causing farmers to question
the economics of such equip
ment. How wide spread is the
use of diesels? How big should
a farming operation be to af-
ford one?
VIM. H. Henderson, County
Agent, says that the use of diesel
tractors is spreading. Although
they have been produced in this
country for only a few years
already they represent 42% Of
new tractor sales.
A study made by the Michigan,
Agricultural Experiment Station
should help farmers In making
the right decisions. The factors
that determine whether or not to
buy a diesel or gasoline tractor
are difference In tractor cost,
difference In operating costs,
hours Of expected use, and dif-
ference In fuel cost per gallon.
When the difference between
gasoline and diesel fuel is two
cents per gallon and when the
difference In initial cost between
diesel and gasoline tractors is
less than $3.50, diesel tractors
are more economical, II they
are used more than 500 hours
per year. AS the difference be-
tween the cost Of gasoline and
diesel fuel Increases, diesel
tractors we're found to be eco
nomtcal even when used less than
500 hours, the agent adds.
Michigan researchers found
that, with present tractor costs
and fuel prices, diesel tractors
must be used at least 500 hours
per year before they become
economical.

Farm Bureau Speaker Urges Return
To Basic Constitutional PRINCIPLES

A concern for constitutional gov
ernment, dedication to individual
responsibility, and a devotion to
the private competitive enterprise
system, were three points en-
phasized by Roger Fleming, secre-
tary-treasurer to the American
Farm Bureau Federation, at the
annual meeting of the Garrett
County Farm Bureau last Thurs
day evening in Southern High
school.
Mr.. Fleming was the principal
speaker at the annual session at
tended by some four hundred mem
bers and guests A dinner had pre-
ceded the program at the South
ern High cafeteria and the dining
area of the Oak Park Church of
the Brethren.

Will Deny Approval
Of Any More Sewers

The State Health department
notified the mayors of Loeb Lynn
Heights, Mt Lake Park and Oak
land by letter last week that it
would not approve any additional
public sewers in the town. A copy
of the letter was sent to the Coun-
ty Commissioners.
James r. McComas, chief of the
| division of sanitary engineering
for the state health department,
told the mayors that no apparent
positive program was being form
ulated through cooperative effort
/ of the County Commissioners and
| the Sanitary commission to pro-
vide a joint sewerage project for
the three towns, and the ban was
being announced because of this
inactivity.
There was no reaction from the
County Commissioners, but there
was a feeling among some citizens
that the health department was
overstepping its authority in stat
ing it would refuse to approve any
additional sewers. The sewage goes
directly into the Little Youghio-
gheny river from the three towns,
and empties into the Big Youghio-
gheny river about two miles west
of Oakland. The Youghiogheny
river flows northward in the coun-
ty and goes into Pennsylvania. H.
D. SWartzentruber, vice-president
of the County Commissioners, said
he had never had any complaint of
any nature from Pennsylvania
about any contamination of the
river.
The letter from Mr.. McComas
said he had requested Dr. Arthur
F. Jones, county health officer, not
to issue any building permits or
other approvals allowing for any
additional sewers to be connected
to existing or new sewers. This
will preclude any further discharge
of raw sewage to Little Youghio-
gheny river" he said. He continued
Il feel you realize such stand
must be taken by me because if
we continue to allow the prob
! lem to magnify with no corrective
measures in sight a still more
hazardous condition will develop
in the future.
The letter was sent to Blaine w.
Sweitzer, mayor of Mt. Lake Park
Lawrence Groves, mayor of Loeb
Lynn Heights; and Russell l..
Smith, mayor of Oakland.

ing on the rights of constitutional
government.
He asserted it was the policy of
Congress not to sell to unfriendly
countries, and if the Federal Of
ficials was so concerned with con-
stitutional government, why did
they overstep their authority. He
pointed out it was the duty of Con-
gress to determine public policy,
and not the politically appointed
people in government.
He gave as an example, Secre-
tary of Agriculture Freeman's at
titude in 1861. He presented views
on the agriculture program in a
talk and concluded by saying if
farm people had any recommends
tions to bring them to me-. Mr.
Fleming emphasized it was the
duty of Congress to determine
public policy, not federal appoin-
tees.

Mans Fine Reduced
To $500 in Court

The fine against James S. Jones
of Charleston, w. Va, amounting
to $3.50 for an overload of $500
pounds on the public highways
was cut more than half by Associate
Judge Stuart F. Hamill at a trial
last Thursday morning in the Cir
cult court
Judge Hamill dropped the fine
to 81 500 and costs. Jones had en-
tered a plea of guilty. States At
torney Fred A. Thayer, who prose
cuted the case, said it had been de-
termined that the passage of the
huge piece of machinery over the
county roads apparently had
caused no damage.
The fine was originally assessed
by Trial Magistrate Robert M. Ma
roney when the case came before
him. He had no other recourse. An
appeal was taken and was origl-
nally set to be tried at the March
term of court. Trial was then set
for July l but Mr.. Jones suffered
