1. BENSON SPEAKS
Congressman Makes Address In
House Regarding Agricultura
Appropriation Bill.
On February 6th last, Congressman Carville D. Benson, the representative from the Second District, and a resident of Baltimore county, made an address on the floor of the House when the Agricultural Appropriation Bill was up, Mr. Benson's remarks follow:
Mr. Chairman and gentlemen of the Committee, in speaking on this Section of the Agricultural Appropriation Bill, I speak as one coming from a district that is about half rural and half city. The city people are just as much interested in this particular legislation as those who own cattle and everyone realizes that although it might be desirable to have the State and local veterinarians do this work, which they now do to a certain extent under local regulations, yet if it is not done there is nothing to prevent the shipping of milk into the cities across the State lines and infecting the people of the communities with tubercular milk.
We also know that it is practicable to test the herds of high grade cattle, and it is from the herds of high grade cattle that most of the breeding is done.
I read an editorial in the Baltimore Sun the other day that called attention to the possibility of the farmers striking. This they will never do. But there are many farmers who, as soon as they have the opportunity, are going out of the farming business. There are many of their sons leaving the farm. Up in Harford County, as well as in the other two counties in my district, old experienced farmers are selling their farms, not because they really desire to quit farming, but because they are forced to do so. One prominent farmer, who was formerly a canner, and who has made a success of the farming and canning business as well as raising cattle, recently sold his home consisting of a large farm for no other reason, in my opinion, except that it was impossible for him to do all the work himself, and he did not have the co-operation of others which would enable him to continue farming.
The condition of the farmer today is more uncertain, than any gamble that I know of, and if there is anything the Department of Agriculture and Congress can do that is practical to help the farmers, it ought to be done and done without qi
the benefit of the farmers but for the benefit of this country at large.
Representing, as I do, a constituency half city and half country, I think I am in a position to relize that one is absolutely dependent upon the other, arid that the success and prosperity of this country depends upon the reduction in the price of food. The farmer is entirely willing to have it reduced within reassnable bounds, if he can produce it at reasonable cost. And what use is it for the farmer on his farm to have his herd tested and part of it destroyed, if the farmer on the next farm does not do the same thing, although his herd is tubercular?
And this educational work that these men are doing throughout the country is the best work, in my judgment, not only for the farmers, but the best work for the people throughout the country. I have heard a good deal of discussion today that is very foreign to this bill, discussion in wav of criticism of Congress and of the President of the United States, because nothing has been done to relieve the present conditions throughout the country. But I do say that we have here in this bill a practical thing that we can do for the benefit of all the people, and that is what we ought to be looking for in every piece of legislation that we produce. If we spend money to get practical results for the farmers and for the people throughout the country generally, you will find no criticism about high taxes because of anything in this provision of the bill. The farmers are for this legislation because thev have been educated up to it by the Department of Agriculture and now appreciate the beneficial results from this work.
There is no more important conservation measure than this section of this hill in its, effort to reduce and ultimate-IV eliminate tuberculosis in cattle. This ip essential in order that pure milk may be furnished to the neonle and to koep the price of meat within reasonable bounds. To allow the further snread of tuberculosis in cattle is unthinkable.
"SICK LIST" TREMENDOUS
Number Of 111 People Never So
Large In Baltimore County
Before.
While the toll in deaths was greater during the epidemic of influenza last year, the number of sick people in Baltimore county has never been so great at any one time than it is right now. Prom every nook and corner comes reports of entire families being down on their backs with the "flu," la grippe, severe colds or whatever else one may -wish to term it, and it seems that the whole populace is either in bed or walking around nursing a cold.
Doctors all over the county are going day and night.
WEATHER HINDERS WORK
Census Enumerators Find Travel
Difficult In Deep Snow
And Sleet.
The recent bad weather, including snow, sleet, rain, hail and what not, has greatly handicapped the census enumerators .in some sections of Baltimore county, especially in the rural districts. Notwithstanding the fact that the entire job of tabulating the county's population and other information should have been accomplished within 30 days, there is likelihood that inside of a week, all enumerators will have reported to James C. L. Anderson, the director for the Second District, whose headquarters are at Towson.
TO ASSIST TAXPAYERS
Agents From Revenue Department Will Be In Baltimore County.
In the interest of persons, who need assistance in filing individual income tax returns, Revenue Officers are being sent into various localities to lend a "helping hand" to tax payers.
Agents from the Collector of Internal Revenue's office at Baltimore will be in Towson from February 16 to 28, at Reisterstown March 1 to 3; Catons-ville March 8 to 10, and Cockeysville on the day of March 12 only.
