Progressive farmers in every section
Of the State are now looking forward
TO the coming of the Maryland Week
Exhibition to be held this year at the
Fifth Regiment Armory, Baltimore,
November 1920. With view TO
entering the competition for the wide
variety OF farm, garden, and home
products during this exhibition. local
growers Of fine fruit. vegetables, grains
aud table products are already Compel
ing in many sections OF the State in
neighborhood and county fairs
modelled after Maryland Week
throughout the rural districts OF
Maryland, our folks are coming more
and more TO realize the value of these
local and county exhibits in encourag
ing the production of superior quail
ity of farm products and in arousing
pride in what their neighborhood and
county can produce. This is especial
ly true where local clubs, oranges, or
associations are preparing TO com
pete in the Club Exhibit Glass al
Maryland Week. in which every yeai
we find the keenest competition and
liveliest interest. The substantial
prizes offered by the Affiliated Asso
Citations in charge of the Exhibition
make the representation Of ones
neighborhood or county among the ex
hibits even more worth while than
from the standpoint of pride in being
able to hold ones head with the best
of them in agricultural production.
The educauonaI value OF the loca.
fairs that precede Maryland Week is
of inestimable value TO both old and
young. In fact, in number of 10
calities the exhibits of the boys and
girls at the end of their club contests
has opened the way for their elders tc
take a hand in the holding of local
fairs or exhibits. II is natural then
| that Maryland Week should be the
| goal OF all progressive Marylanders in
| terested in the advancement of oul
| agricultural interests. Men, women,
| boys and girls in every country neigh
| borhood in the State ought to have
| their representatives at the Exhibi
| ton. They should know what they
can produce both in their own i'm
| mediate section and in other parts OF
| the State. We ought to have bright
| crowd of boys and girls from every
| county, accompanied by their school
| teachers and county agricultural and
/ home demonstration agents, attendin7
| every day of Maryland Week. The
youngsters can learn more about the
possibilities of agriculture in Maryland
in day spent at the Exhibition by
seeing the best that the country PEG
| pie can produce than they could learn
| in ten years from textbooks or writ.
| ten accounts. 1t is great inspira.
tion to any country boy or girl to go
to Baltimore during Maryland Week
there to see the city, which is the
| goal of so many of our brightest boys
and girls, pay tribute to the country
al It's Fifth Regiment Armory and
realize the often repeated saying, 1.-THE
farmer feeds us ALI"
II Maryland Week has lessons for
our children it has its lesson as well
for us older ones, who after all are
only grown up children. We owe il to
ourselves to know more about the
agricultural riches of State that foI
its variety and excellence in the pro
duction of farm and orchard crops
stands second to none. We owe it tC
our boys and girls TO take them there
so that they may return home with
some understanding of the wonderful
opportunities farm life holds for them
We owe it to our neighbors to have
them represented in the Club Exhibit
Glass, unashamed to measure up with
the best. We owe 1t to ourselves as
individuals to take to the Exhibition
the best we have grown or made OF
orr farms or in our homes. Whai
farm or farm woman is not proud Of
at least some one crop he or she ha.
grown, canned, or preserved7 i.
there any better way of getting you
children to grow up content with you

of some one thing that ii takes
thought and care to bring about? i
is worth your while if for no othel
reason to visit Baltimore during Mary
land Week, keep your eyes open, ant
