organizations CT Maryland to secure an

The club recommended DIR. r. S. Hill,

Department of Farmers Institutes, as a
suitable person to speak to the people of
Southern Maryland as to the needs of
that section of the institute meetings.
Colonel Powell gave the club the bene-
fit of his observations as to New York
State farming, he having resided in that
State for year or more past. Colonel
Powell was satisfied that the Maryland
farmers had better opportunities than
their brethren in other States. He was
convinced that the weak point in South
ern Maryland farming was the system of
renting out farms to tenants who have not
the capital to work such large tracts of
land.
President Charles II. Stanley referred
to his recent visit to California. He
stated that with such lands as we have
in Prince Georges county, if cultivated
with the same care as in the Western
country, the yields on the Maryland farms
would be far better than the average
Western farmer can obtain. MIR. j. ID.
Cassard suggested that Western farmers
could be induced to me to Southern
Maryland if they were acc ,rd.d n hear
tier social welcome, lut Dr.. Hi and
other members of the club insisted that
the social distinctions were no greater in
this county than in the North and West
The club members were entertained at
