Much interest is being taken in all
rte Of ha Tot
tive visit of the young farmers to
the various counties. Last year the
winners of the club prizes were car
ried to Baltimore and entertained
during Maryland Week. This year
it was decided that an automobile
trip through the boys own State
would be the proper thing, and one
that would have the greatest educa-
tiona1 value to them. The strength
of the plan is that the entire State
tined to make their mark in Mary
land agriculture.
The boys will be assembled in Bal
timore on the Monday preceding
Maryland Week and will be divided
into two parties of about 25 each.
The Southern Maryland boys will Sc
lOCI tuS patty tuSy " dCCOIll-
pany. The Western Maryland boys
will be taken on a tour of the East
ern Shore from one end to the other,
while the Eastern Shore boys will
tour the central and western coun-
ties. One party will start from Bal
timore for Crisfield by way of Elk
ton, while the other will begin the
trip to Oakland by way of Ellicott
City and Frederick.
From the time the boys leave Bal
timore, each party being escorted by
representative of the Corn Club
Movement, they will be in the hands
of the various committees. AT each
point on the route entertainment
will be furnished and automobiles
provided to relay the prize winners
to the next point. All of this enter
tainment will be the voluntary hos
pitality of residents and automobile
owners.
The trip will consume the entire
week and at it's conclusion the West
ern Maryland party will return by
train to Baltimore and the Eastern
Shore party will return by boat from
Crisfeld.
Each local committee will make its
own plans for the entertainment of
the boys, but the tour will be run
on the exact schedule. The time that
it is possible to give each town will
be determined after the pathtinding
trip has been made and the commit
tees have been organized. There will
be five night controls on each trip,
and at these night controls, where
the boys will sleep, it is expected that
the towns will organize special even
ing celebrations.
