A few years before the Bennings track

Maryland Week Meeting.
AGRICULTURAL EXHIBITION POSTPONED For
The YEAR.

The Council of the Maryland Aericultu
raj Society, composed of the representa-
tives of the affiliated State associations
at a recent meeting decided upon Decem
Der 18th to 22nd, inclusive. as the mos,
desirable time this year for holding Mary,
land Week" meetings, or the annual meet.
ings Of the Maryland Agricultural Societ,
and affiliated associations, includins this
State horticultural Society, the MARYLAND
Crop Improvement Association, The State
Dairymens Association. and the State
Beekeepers' Association.
AT meeting of the Council on Nav Is
a committee was appointed to consider
the advisability of holding the Maryland
Week" Exhibition, and to ascertain the
possibility of securing the 5th ReeimenI
Armory, where the exhibition has previ.
ously been held At the meeting of the
Council held on July 18th. this committee
reported that after consultation with the
Governor and Adjutant General il was
considered most improbable that the Armo-
ry could be secured on account of military
needs. The Council considered many other
matters bearing on the situation, viz, that
the florists were unable to cooperate this
year; the transportation problem, and the
fact that the farmers and all forces will
be rushed this fall in conserving the prod
ucts of the season. and the difficulty of
securing club exhibits, etc.
After careful consideration, and viewing
the situation from every standpoint. the
Conncil decided to postpone the MARY
land Week" show for one year, and to de-
vote every effort towards making the an
nual meetings in December the best in the
history of the affiliated associations. 1t Is
hoped at this time to feature practical
discussions and demonstrations that will
be of interest and value to all branches of
agriculture, with particular reference to
preparedness measures.
In addition to the efforts which will be
put forth in connection with the annual
meetings. it is urged by the Council that
every effort be made to develop and en-
courage the holding of local community
shows in the different counties. 1t was
felt that such local exhibits of farm, gar
den and orchard will have tendency to
stimulate local interest. promote educa-
tional work, which should result in the
greater production of more valuable food
products. These local community shows
can be held with small expense of time
and labor, and will reach a large number
of farmers and home makers.
The various associations represented by
the Council of the State Agricultural Soci-
ETY. are anxious to cooperate in making
such community exhibits a success, and
every endeavor will be made to encourage
and assist in such work. with the end in
view Of having these exhibitions perma-
nent feature in the community.
