Every farmer in Maryland who at
tends the Maryland Week Exposition will

State Horticultural Society were to make
such an announcement. the big armory
building in Baltimore would not hold the
crowds, said H. J. Patterson. Master of
the State Grange day or two ago; and
yet,S he continued, .every farmer who
attends the sessions of the affiliated assoc
Citations, listens to the lectures and and
addresses, and sees the exhibits will un-
doubtedly find that he has received not
only $25 but hundreds of dollars, in the
knowledge impaired to him which he
only needs to apply in practical way on
his own farm to realize the cash.
