Farmers rleeting Successful.

The farmers meeting held IN the
court house last Thursday night was a
most interesting occasion. The first
speaker was G. H. Afford, a progress
sive, practical farmer, who for years has
been developing a most successful farm
in southern Maryland. He was follow
ed by Brigham, State lectur-
er of the Farmers Grange, and one of
the leaders of the boys corn club
movement. Mr. Brigham explained
this new movement and gave illus
trations of its development of greater
interest in farm life. the boys are be-
coming greatly interested in farm ork,
and through their labor and skill whole
counties are securing better seedscorn.
larger results per acre and a better
grade of corn.
1t is great pity that more farmers
were not present to hear these gentle
men, who dealt in facts of great i'm
portance to successful farming and
who followed these facts by undeniable
proof of their truthfulness. These
gentlemen are not "book farmers"
but genuine tillers of the soil, who
know whereof they speak.
There were farmers present from
near Wilson, Eagle Rock, Deer Park
and the vicinity of Oakland. The speak
ers were introduced by Secretary L. A.
Rudisill. of the Board of Trade.
Similar meetings should be held all
over Garrett county. 1t was developed
at this meeting that less than one-half
OF the acreage of Garrett county was
under cultivation and that the average
farm, under cultivation was fraction
over SO acres.
1t was also stated that Garrett coun-
ty was sending out of the county in cold
cash over 5000. 900 year for feed for
live stock. The Republican believes
the farmers of Garrett county will
remedy this evil and soon become ship
pers of feed stuff. rather than import
ers of it. May this glad day hasten.

A SPLENDID LECTURE
Delivered rlonday Before Lutheran
Brotherhood By FIR. Jos. E. Harmed

st.
At the monthly meeting OF the Luth-
eran Brotherhood of St. Marks church
in Oakland. held Monday evening of
this week, Mr. Joseph E. Harmed. who
has gained an enviable reputation dur
ing the past few years as a naturalist
of more than ordinary ability, delivered
an illustrated lecture, his theme being
God in Nature"
Many of the thoughts expressed by
the speaker were entirely new to the
audience which listened to him with
rapt attention and were the result of
patient study in the fields and woods
where nature is all abloom and most
lavish in her splendor.
The lesson sought to be impressed up
on his auditors was that the Creator is
supreme in everything; that by His
hand the world was formed and with
out His ever-presence the world would
very soon cease to exist, or at least
animate objects would become mani
mate and their bodies return to that
state from which they were formed.
The lecture was most impressive and
the speaker was highly complimented
for the address by members of the
Brotherhood as we'll as by numerous
visitors.

The Buy-a-lSalc Movement.
BY e. II. Stribling, ISL

The lSt OF September, 1914. found
the farmers OF the South confronting
oh2 Of the gravest problems which
G, II affected them. With their fields
whitening with oNn OF the largest
cotton crops on record. and cotton
mills OF the world still running on
the unusually large surplus OF the
1913 crop it was almost certain that
there would be little demand for
this years crop. With a very small
food crop the farmer was practically
depending upon his cotton crop for
his living.
The outbreak Of the European war
caused . paralysis OF the cotton mar
ket sucn as has not been witnessed
since the Civil War. Practically all
foreign marts were closed to trade
by the blockades Of the bellgcrent
powers, and the textile industry OF
these nations died at the commence
ment Of the war. This served to has
ten the decrease of the value OF cot
ton and in a short time the price fell
from II to 6 cents per pound. On
every hand the farmer was beset by
his creditors, but, with no money on
hand, his cotton almost worthless and
scarcely any food crop on hand. he
was placed in most trying position.
TO sell his cotton at the prevailing
price would hardly pay for its pvOduc-
ton, and he would be left pennilHsS,
port his family through the winter
and spring until he could produce an
other crop. When he no longer ap-
peared in the markets it seemed as ii
the wheels Of commerce ceased to
turn. These alarming circumstances
SO nearly affected all the people of
the country that conventions We're
held, State Legislatures were con-
vencd. and all kinds OF plans were de-
rised in an effort to give relief. Our
national govern lent was appealed to
in vain, for it could give no immcdi-
ate aid. 1t sccm,l 1 as though the al
ready Ovcr-burden>d Southern far
mcr must shoulder the inevitable
misfortune alone, and bear it for all
the people.
Happily this threatened milestone
was lOOsed from the farmers neck by
the conception Of novel plan by Mr..
tlass. prosperous and systematic
