The Farmers Civil and Business Asso.
citation met on February FL. 1914, al
Rosebank Hall in regular session. The
meeting was called TO order by the Presi-
dent Mr.. Elwood Balderston. The roll
was called by the secretary w. H. Briggs
with twenty three present and others who
came in later. The treasurer gave his
report showing the organization to be in
good condition.
A letter was read from G. v. Branch
OF the United States Department Of Agri-
culture, who gave US many practical sug-
gestions and liberal offer of future aid
whenever applied for by the organization.
A letter from Mr.. Letter was read in re-
ference to the proposed change which is
being considered in the road through
Cecil county TO Conowineo. This route
originally laid out and partially complied
is to be abandoned 10 favor of the Perry.

of the legislature to support them in their

road.
A letter was read from Mr.. Thomas B.
Symons of the Maryland Agricultural
College asking the support of the organ
ization in their appeal for an appropriation
for the college to be made from the pre-
sent legislature. In the discussion, which
followed one of the teachers of the college
present at our meeting who is in charge
of the department of vegetable growing,
told us thatSso poor is the college at the
present time, that his department only
has 5000 each year TO spend in the expert
mental work of his department. and this
has to be spead over all the counties Of
the state. A petition was framed and
signed by every member present for the
better support of this college by liberal
appropriation from the legislature.
Our president Mr. Balderston then pre-.
sented paper dealing with the past work
of the Association. paying tribute to its
deceased founder. DR.. E. F. Brown and
also guiding the work~for the future.
Professor Monroe of the Department of
Vegetable Growing of the Maryland Agri-
cultural College was then introduced and
for one hour gave US many practical hints
and much encouragement. He brought
out forcibly the fact which is universally
coming to be recognised, that the farmer
will never come into his own share of the
profits OF his labor and investment until
he cooperates in the handling OF his pro-
duce. The meeting then adjourned to
meet March FL, 1914.

So strict have his orders been fol.
lowed during the past few years that
seldom has a gun been heard on the
isthmus except in certain brief open
seasons and despite the noise and
powder smoke OF the canal blasting
wild fowl and isthmian game of all

the paradise for feathered game Of all
kinds. They are coming to the lake
in great numbers and each season
sees the feathered tribes increase.
Most Of those birds are attracted by
the fish with which the lake is filed.
The shores and floating islands on
the lake abound in blue and white
heron, the latter being the bird from
which is obtained the beautiful air
grette now barred from the United
States by the new tariff act. Then
there are blue and white cranes, cor
morants, pelicans and several species
of the rail family. An odd feature is
the recent arrival of number of wild
duck. They are beginning to come
in ever increasing numbers.
Out of the jungle there are many
deer and the number is on the in
crease in spite of the fact that they
still are being hunted. They are not
yet on the taboo list. Tapir, or for
est cattle as the natives call them,
also are numerous and are becom-
ing quite tame. 1t has been noted
within the last few weeks that the
wild cat is also on the increase. Then
there are reported to be many alliga-
tors in Gatun Lake and the Chagre
and other smaller rivers.
With the depopulation Of the zone,
which is well under way. there will
be even less hunting and fishing than
there is now. Wild fowl and game
will be undisturbed and probably will
