z The Christmas holidays passed off very
quietly here, but on New Years eve there was
more noise made by ringing of bells, shooting,
&C., by the people of Lauraville and adjacent
places than ever known before.
Mr.. William Biz won the piano that was
ratified by the Volunteer Fire Company of this
place. He has had several enjoyable evenings
since.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bernard Deinssen celebrated
the going out of the Old Year with masque
ball which was largely attended.
The Junior Volunteer Fire Company had a
drill on New Year day with their apparatus.
Mr.. Daniel Nichols, who has been resident
of this place for number of years. has moved
to Baltimore, where he will engage in business.
Mr.. Vincent Hedeman and family spent
Christmas with his parents in Baltimore.
The county roads around here will soon be
lighted by electricity, in place of the gasoline
lamps, as at present. ii.
Worshington Valley, 18th District-I
have been reading from time to time reports of
the large crops Of corn in THE UNION and in
order to "get in the game" | will report few
from this valley, which is known for its
fertility.
White Hall Manor Farm, had three fields in
corn, the aggregate acreage having been 68
acres, the average being within fraction of
II barrels to the acre.
Mr.. A. w. Fuss also had three fields in corn
and they averaged IS. 16 and II barrels per
acre. respectively.
Mr.. Charles A. Councilman had one field Of
A acres the average from which was 16 barrels
to the acre of very fine corn.
Mr.. jeremiah Baublitts, whose farm is on
the ridge south of the valley, averaged about
IA barrels to the acre. He did not quite reach
the mark in corn. but in hogs he "swept the
deck" He slaughtered an unusually fine lot
their average weight being 552 lbs. The big
gest one dressed $50 lbs. We think this pretty
hard to beat.
Mr.. Edward A. Cockey and his son Jack
have formed copartnership and will here
after conduct their farming operations under
this double management. They sowed some
rye in August, 1905, and it grew SO rank that
it has been furnishing fine pasturage for some
of their stock Mr.. Cockey has a very fine
flock of sheep that he keeps well bred up and
he has taken number of premiums at the
fairs.
Mr.. Mordecai G. Cockey has rented his farm
to Mr.. Dickson, who rents the Conrad estate.
Owing to the open winter many farmers
were blowing right up to the holidays.
When Mr.. c. A. Councilman attended the
last meeting of the board of trustees of the
Maryland Agriculture! College, at College Park,
he took with him fine sample of his alfalfa
hay. V. OBSERVER.
