NEW COUNTY pEnoNsrnAron.

The farmers Of the county learn with
deep regret the displacement Of Mr. w.

er to our county and state. Mt, z. L.
Cltte, the newly appointed Demonstra.
tor. was here on 7 iesday TO assume his
duties and met many Of our people. be-
ing introduced by Mr.. @. II. Afford. Of
the State Agricultural Department..
He made a favorable impression as a
genial gentleman and though he has
had little or no experience in farming
work in this country we hope he will
prove a help to our farmers in their
efforts TO improve arming conditions
in our county. He is a graduate Of
Michigan Agricultural College. After
leaving that Institution he taught
school for about three years when he
gave up his position and went TO the
Philippine Islands where he has been
almost continuously since engaged in
agricultural work.
We regret the displacement OF Mr..
L'nthicum. who has gwen bis entire
time & energy to the work ever since he
took hold Of the proposition when it
paid only a meagre salary and has al
ways as far as we have been able to
learn, given entire satisfaction. Why
he was displaced we do not know I'M
less to satisfy the spleen of some poll
tician, who knows more about farming
in the air than in the ground. How
ever, we say now and verify believe that
we have plenty Of farmers In Charles
county who could capsbly fill the POSI-
tion and handle the work to the entire
satisfaction Of everyone interested. II
we haven't farmer in Charles county
competent to fill the position then it
looks to the practical man like our
farmers had better 90 out of business.
We could name large number Of farm
ers who have made practical success in
farming, who have made money and
are prosperous so why the department
went not only out Of the county but out
OF the state to obtain the services Of a
demonstrator is hard to fathom. v here
are all the graduates of the Maryland
Agricultural College !? If that College
has not produced MARYLAND men able to
fill such positions then the State had
better close it up.
As always we have the interests of
our own people and particularly our
farmers at heart and we sin
cerely hope that they will give the new
demonstration every encouragement
ami help because it is only by so doing
can he achieve any real success and our
farmers become more successful.
