THE NEW JERUSALEM, "
A SACRED CANTATA
AT St. Pau's M. {. Church. Thursday
Evening, March 10th.

BY all means the most ambitious and
high grade musical performance ever
ATTEMPTED by Oakland singers will be
given, next Thursday by a selected
choir of forty six persons who have been
practicing for several weeks.
The words of the cantata are selected
from the Book of Revelation. The
composition is divided into four parts.
|. The Coming of Christ; II. The Vision
of st. John; III. Salvation Through
The Blood; ". The Last Judgment. 1t
will thus be seen that the cantata IS
particularly appropriate for the Passion
Week,
The music is constantly varied by the
introduction of solos, quartettes, duets,
choruses and obligatos. and is especially
susceptible to artistic expression.
From beginning to end the music is
of high order, and yet not so classical
as to prevent it from being brilliant,
fascinating and popular with an ordinary
audience. The two duet obligatos &C
companied by the full chorus soto voice
will prove the most attractive features
to many people. The program will
require an hour and half.
The ladies of the choir will wear white
dresses, and, after the audience is as
sembled the choir Will sing a beautiful
professional as they march from the
lecture room through the church to the
large platform which has been provided
for the occasion.
Besides the pipe organ which has re-
Gently been tuned, the choir will be
sustained by two clarionets.
I The cantata will begin promptly at
eight o'clock, on Thursday evening.
March 10th. Admission 35 cents.

Why Not In Garrett. "
the Editor Of The Republican:

To the Editor Of The Republican:
why do your people not raise seed
potatoes in Garrett county 20 supply the
large demand for them in Southern
Maryland and Virginia, is question
which have been freqently asked.
1t would seem that the present time
would be a good one TO discuss this
question and make practical trial and
test of our ability to capture some of
this profitable trade.
With the stimulus of the generous
prize offered by the Homecoming Savings
Bank Of $l0C for the best yield of pota-
toes from two acres Of ground, let us
use this to greater practical account and
combine to plant fewer varieties of
seed, selecting such as will command
the best price in our city markets, and
by thus increasing the quantity attract
purchasers.
1t is my firm belief that we can raise
the very best grain, fruit, or vegetables
that will grow in such climate as ours,
but our farmers lack one of the great
essentials in reaping the full reward.
There is no team work and we grow too
many varieties. Perfect success and
profit will not come until we raise GUAM
tity enough of one kind or variety to
attract and make a market for our
products.
In Aroostock and other counties in
Maine the raising of seed potatoes for
Southern planting is the great crop,
and prices realized are far higher than
for table use. Our climate and soil are
somewhat similar. and those who ought
to know say that We could do as well.
With this in view ! recently called
upon Mr.. d. K. Stewart Of Baltimore.
who was one of the Judge at the
Armory last fall and who highly com
mended Mr. D. r. Sloan and his asso-
ciates for the fine exhibit made by Ale
gany and Garrett counties, and he has
been kind enough to write me the en-
closed letter which should be obliged
if you would published.
ll8 East Pratt Street,
Baltimore, Md.
March 8, 1913.
Mr.. w. McCulloh Brown,
Oakland, Md.
DEAR SIR. In reference to the best
varieties of potatoes for planting in
your section, would say that we believe
Garrett County will grow all varieties
of potatoes equal with the State of
Maine. For market purposes we would
recommend Green Mountains, and
Crown Jewels. especially for round
potatoes; (fOr long white potatoes such
as Burbanks, White Star and American
Giants are not as popular to the trade
as they were some years ago..
The Irish Cobber stands alone as the
foremost early potato for Virginia and
lower Maryland. We see no reason
why your county should not grow this
potato to be sold as seed for southern
planting, as well as the State of Maine.
Now for far southern planting like
Florida. Savannah and Charleston sec
tons the Early Rose is used almost ex-
clusively.
We would recommend however that
your peope select not more than two
varieties and grow them only until they
have established a reputation By so

Washington, D. C., Nov. 1S-As a result of requests from editors and editorial associations in many states the U. s. Department of Agriculture has announced that the November crop reports for each State will be supplied to the newspapers in all States through the Central Weather Station located n each of the states
 This is an extension of the eN- pertinent of telegraphing the State crop returns to the Central Weath- CT Stations in each of nine states, and having these telegrams dupli- cated at once and mailed to the newspapers and agricultural Pubh- cations. Uude- this plan newspap- CTS in Ss additional states will BOW receive full details of the state crops saI more quickly than would be possible if these State crop de- tails were put in the mails in Wash ington and hal to travel by train

long distances to the more remote states.
 Under this plan the general sum mary of the crops for the United States will, as heretofore, 'be issued in Washington for teIegraphic dis tribution. It has been found, how ever, that ths conditions of crops within their particulra States are of especial value to the farmers and producers, to whom the conditions in their own State are important in the marketing of their produce.
 Under this plan the Department sends one telegram to the Central Weather bureau in each state, and within a few minutes after the crop figures for the state are completed in Washington, the weather bureau is enabled to mail copies of the fig ures from central point within the State to all papers in that State.
