The Baltimore County union. [volume] (Towsontown, Md.) 1865-1909, 1906-08-11
One trouble. IL was said, too many women sup

| standing or sitting about in groups.
Mr.. Bacon said farmers are not in touch an
don't know each other. Their interests are 8
diversified and separated it is difficult for then
to handle their crops proftably or with mar
ketable union. There should be BROTHERHOOD
of farmers, fellowship which does not exist II
some localities. The farmer today is better OF
than he thinks and If he has $4,000 invested in
farm and good stock he is better of than havinl
no farm with that amount of capital invested
The farmer must work hard to meet the ex
penses, but the home is improved and made at
tractive. The neglect of the home gives de
pressing appearance and is uninviting to others
Where homes and farms are properly cared FOL
land advances in price and the community takes
on an attractive condition. The dairy farm re
quires regular labor.
Mr.. John Crowther said when he was on farm
it was the happiest time of his life. He has lived
in the city where everything except the air you
breathe you have to buy. He would sooner fol
low the pillow than stand behind the counter. but
is now not able to do the former. When away
from the farm and in public life you are not
your own and the county boss must be pleased
On the farm I was my own boss and did as l
pleased. Years ago there was less said about
the scarcity of labor, because owners and their
families did the work. Communities now are
not farming communities, as formerly, and less
interest has brought about unfavorable condi-
lions. The conveniences In travel keep people
going and coming. The Western country now
furnishes much of what was or is required and
the growing of crops here is at greater expense.
There has been a depression in farming and the
farmers are not encouraged in their pursuit of
life.
A remark was shave little patience, as the
majority of the people will appreciate the farm
and many will seek its benefits"
Mr.. John Bond said the farmers products are
handled by spectators who set the price and
command others to do as they say. causing less
encouragement to the producer.
Mr.. James B. Ensor said the price and the sue
cess of the farm depends upon how it is man
aged, and in order to encourage labor houses
should be provided for it. He raised his family
on much less than it would have cost him away
from the farm and the farm has afforded him
pleasure as well as many conveniences and priv
ileges. Our farms should sell at good figures.
Mr.. John B. Kidd said when he was in the
West 40 acres was expected of man to cultivate
and save the crop. Success of the farmer de-
ponds upon labor. which now Is not as plentiful
as in former years. 1t used to be that labor
could be had in Pennsylvania, but now farmers
there are seeking it elsewhere. Advancement
in every community depends upon the care of
the farms.
Mr.. Shamberger spoke of the recent trials in
his community in the shortage of help and in
handling the harvest. Hefavors the encourage
ment of labor so the farmers, who are the coun-
try's dependence, can succeed, and have labor to
appreciate the farmers interest in doing the
best to make the farm success.
No other question was taken up and as the
hour for adjournment had about arrived. and
many having long drives to their homes, the club
adjourned.
Looks Like We Might Get the Trolley
Line North-"A trolley route to Luthervllle
and Timonium has already been surveyed in
the interest of the Maryland Electric Railways
Company" said Mr.. Alexander Brown, the
Baltimore banker, on wednesday. y 10 49,,
tinued sit has been securing estimates OF
the cost of such a line, both as to construction
and equipment. What is next needed is to
have it demonstrated that the traffic OF such q
line will yield fair return on its cost and
operation. These matters are now being
worked out, and as soon as they are demon
strated to our satisfaction we are ready to go
ahead.
mo petition has come to us from the resi-
dents of the territory it is proposed to traverse
but we shall be more than glad to have the
residents confer and point out to us that the
venture will be paying one. This company
intends to expand and develop, but it will do
nothing blindly. We will place experts on all
the proposed extensions and will be largely
governed by their views"
There are many who believe that an electric
line from Towson to Timonium will be pay
ing venture, says the Baltimore San. The
residents, especially in the vicinity of Luther
vile, have been long clamoring for such con-
venience and many of the residents in that vi
cinity have expressed their willingness to SUBJ
scribe to the stock of such road. This, how
ever was in contemplation when it was sup
posed that an independent line would be built
through that section, with connection with the
United system at Towson. At this point II
was thought satisfactory traffic arrangements
could be made.
With the building of such line in view by
the Maryland Electric Company the indepen.
dent scheme may be abandoned, it is said, and
those favoring it may cooperate with the
company now organized for such purposes.
Mr. Browns statement that il will be built
if shown to be needed and paying proposition
it is thought will turn the efforts of those de-
string this utility in the direction of the Mary.
land Electric Railways Company to do the
work.
