PRIZES TAKEN.
Allesany and Garrett Farmers Exhibit
Prize-Winning Products.

The MARYLAND State Fair held at the
Fifth Regiment Armory in Baltimore,
under the auspices of the MARYLAND
Horticultural Society, has been the
greatest event the State has ever
known as an exhibit of the products of
our soil. The immense building was
crowed with the best the State can
produce and from every section of it.
Alleganv and Garrett counties were
well represented and carried off some
of the best prizes.
Jesse Warwick, of New Germany,
Garrett county, had two exhibits of
oats, white Cluster" and Great
Dane" These oats weighed AZ pounds
to the bushels and won the sweepstakes
prize, silver cup valued at $25. Henry
II. Fazenbaker, from his Jackson farm,
took the second prize on wheat.
The exhibits of apples was a revela-
ton to all who saw them more than
five hundred displays were made, and
the competition keen. The committee
of the Farmers Festival held at Iona
coming in October selected some of them
and made the entry and carried off six
prizes, as follows: Benz. F. Green,
Herman H. Robson and VIM. H.
Jacobs, of Garrett county, and Fred
Sloan Orchard Co. of Homecoming, j. M.
Rice and j. A. Stegmier, of near Cum
berland. Below is appended more
complete list of the prize winners.
These results are the most tangible
evidences of the wonderful fertility of
the soil of these two mountain counties
of the state, and will stimulate our
farmers and orchardists to greater
efforts and better results in the future.
Now is the time to prepare and plan
for next year. Every farmer should
join the Allegany and Garrett county
agricultural society and reap the benefit
of the united effort. A campaign of
education along advanced lines is the
aim of the society-backed by an eXecu-
tive committee selected for that pur-
pose. But the committee, no matter
how willing to bring good results, must
have the hearty and united support of
those closely interested.
