The writer hopes that it Is not in-

a > given tho little sufferer alter the fataljg accident. Our esteemed contemporary

stated that “the accident occurred athis father’s home on tho 29th ulto., but

e, no serious attention was given hisn- condition until Oct. Ist, when Dr.g- Camalier was called in."al In this the Enterprise was raisin-m formed, since the writer knows person-

ally that within about 15 minutes afterthe accident Dr. Camalier was in at-

>x tendance and gave every assistance inin his power, ana later, when the patientg, did not recover as last as his anxious;y parents hoped, Drs. Greenwell andes Johnson were called in conference

with Or. Camalier. It was after (Idsconsultation that Dr. Walter Wise, the

co Baltimore surgeon, was called and tiiers operation performed.in *•.

[COMMUNICATttO.To the Tobacco Growers of Maryland:

At the request of member* of theStale Board of Agriculture end other*.1 sm making the following statement

of (he State Tobacco Warehouse situstlop. both at to financial and busiiwe*¦lde and oe to the much talked of etnbarge.

In March 1916 I teak charge of theState Warehouses, end will say, thatno one wes more surprised (hen myselfwh> n my appointment ws* made knownto me, ** 1 was not an applicant for theposition a* the Governor will attest

It is needle** for me to go over the

raMSsJ’SPWra Sraknown to the Farmer’* a* well thedealer*. 1 receipted for5477 hogsheadsof tobacco and there had accumulated1661,459 00 in the four yuan of m* pre-decessor, this under the lew hod to beturned over to the Comptroller, leavingno fund* on hand, as I borrowed to paythe first payroll, end also, to pay from82000 00 to 82500 00 that should havebeen paid by the preceding Administra-tion. pn December 80th, 1918. I paidthe last not* in the Bonk and started asurplus on March IS, I*l9, I deposited817,000 00 on a Saving* Account at 4per cent, end on June SOth, the end ofthe fiscal year 1 bad a checking account(together with the |l7 000 OOtnd Inter-val) of 147,916 01, which 1 turned overto th* Comptroller of tb* Stale, Octoher Bth, 1919.

On July 2nd, I had 9659 hogshead* oftobacco in the Warehouse*and fell thatwe would be *bl* to handle the 1918crop without embargo, it will he re-membered that the month of July wa*

a wet one and tobacco cam* to Balti-more in unheard of quantities, (hi*andthe strike of the tailor* tying up el<outward shipments, making it necessaryto put a partial embargo on the boatsand railroad* for about two week*.When 1 want to the Railroad Adminis-tration to get embargo raised, theyclaimed they needed the space for per-ishable good*, last week 1 went totbemand appealed to them to rai*e the em-bargo entirely, thi* they refused to do.saying again they needed th* spar* forperishable freight. Certainly theWarehouse* should not be blamed forthis action of the Railroad Administra-tion. The seme case existed in 1918,the Railroad pieced on embargo be-cause their force had the Flu. theWarehouse* being blamed for thin,when the feel wee th* Warehouse em-bargo wee of short duration. 1 wentto say that everything that could bedone to serve the Farmer ha* beendone.

In 1914 there wee only 17,867 bogs-. eeeds of tobacco received, end in 1916i there we* 18.639 hogshead* reaeived and

at no time was there over 12,500 hogs-i head* in etock. Contrast that with

25,601 last week and our numbers erenow 33,000 for this year end may reach

, 40,000 hogsheads, and in 1918 out of acrop of 28,000 hogshead* we handled

i 24,000 with scarcely any foreign ship-ments, and it must be remembered that

- the State is practically the only Were-i house open to the Maryland Parmer’s,

r whereas In 1914 end 1916 the Baltimore> ft Ohio Rrilrotd Warehouse wee hand-

ling Maryland tobaccoIt ie needless for ns to tell anyone of

- the difficulties in handling labor in 1918i and even now.i I cannot see why this Institutioni should be made a political issue as theI State Board of Agriculture is a non-*• political board, end every farmer hast had the same treatment here regardless* of politics Business ability end *ften-. tion to duty have been the Influence

that retained the Warehouse force in- their respective positions. A*a farmer-1 have given the best that wee in mer to the interest of the farmers, endr think I am safe in saying the standard

a of Maryland Toberco has bcen.raised at good many cent* per pound.s 1 went to isy in conclusion, I too,4 hope there will be no more embargoes,e sincerely hope so, end may be there* will not be, for we all hope that timeie will become normal again before longe and that no one will aver see a work
