| Farmers Urged To Attend.
EVERY farmer In the State" says
| President Woods, "if he can possibly
| make arrangements should be with
| us on Farmers day. We want to
make it get together day for every
body In Maryland interested in Agri-
| culture, either in the production OF
| food or the conservation Of it. 1t is to
| the interest of all to be here, as the
| winning of the war and the welfare
OF the State and Nation depend large
| ly on how we'll we who are engaged
in this work carry out our program:
Never in the history of the nation
has there been such q demand for la.
| Dor saving machinery. Important
| demonstrations here Farmers Day OF
all kinds of implements designed for
| that purpose are to be given. The
progressive agriculturist has reached
| the time when he must depend on
| electricity and gasoline to furnish him
with most of the power that used
to be provided by employment of large
groups of men. Farmers can learn
much also through thorough inspec'
ton of methods of drying and canning,
administering anti-hog cholera serum,
the farm sewage disposal plant, spray
machinery, fertilizer, feed and lime
| inspection work.
Il want the people of the State to
| understand that this is their college,
want them to know what is being done
here for their interests. They can
| best find out these things by coming
| to visit us and no better time to do
that can be found than Farmers Day.
This is the peoples institution and
Farmers Day has as its primary OBJ
ject the bringing about of closer CO.
operation between the college and the
people in order that the college may
aid the people more effectively"
