The Board of Development Of the
Eastern Shore could not do a better
thing than to give its attention to the
cultivation Of the oyster. II the state
declines to protect and cultivate this
great natural product and is content to

Eastern Shore of Maryland deserves all
the encouragement it can receive. This

our land and reside with us; is
another thing to make their purchases
remunerative and residence permanent.
Steady employment and profitable re-
turns alone will hold the newcomer.

other industries is essential to a per-

new association wilR no doubt be slim
