The Prince George's enquirer and southern Maryland advertiser. (Upper Marlborough, Md.) 1882-1925, 1918-05-24
Friday, May 24th, 1918
Farmers Day, May 30th.

The time is drawing near when Farm
ers' Day, May Both, will be held at the
MARYLAND State College for the fifth
time since its Inauguration in 1914.
There is every prospect that it will run
true to form, as in the past, bringing
greater number of farmers and others
interested in the State College and the
work of its different branches to be
guests of the institution for that day.
AS in the past, the State College will
be "At Home" to the people of the
State in every sense. Laboratories
will be open, guides will be furnished
for tours through all College buildings
and the Experiment Station fields. The
machinery demonstration will last
throughout the entire day, starting at
500 in the morning of the aviation field
half-mile east of the Camps.
So far there is promise of at least
fifteen tractors being on the ground for
their part in the machinery demonstra-
ton. The entire work of the machin-
cry section of the program comes at
this time as factor greatly influencing
the efficiency which can be obtaino
from the already curtailed labor supply
Flowing narrowing, disking, belt work
and all other uses for which tractor
power can be utilized will be shown to
the advantage of everyone.
The dedication of the new building
will take place at two o'clock in the
afternoon, with the dedication address
on behalf of the State by Governor
Harrington and that on behalf of the
State Agricultural Society by Hon.
Orlando Harrison, president. of Wor
cester county.
Following will come the graduation
exercises, with the Commencement ad-
dress by Senator Hoke Smith, of
Georgia. At the time of going to press
Senator Smith had not announced the
subject of his address, although it will
very likely deal with those urgent
phases of our work with regard to the
successful prosecution of the war.
The comforting of degrees and presen-
tation of diplomas will be made by DR..
Woods, president of the State College.
Last on the program in the afternoon
will be the dedication of the College
Service Flag, with 253 stars.
The College will not be able to serve
lunch this year, due to the capacity of
the dining hall being taxed to the ut
most by $50 soldiers doing special work
in the Radio section of the Signal Corps
station here. The Red Cross, however,
will have lunches for sale.
Train service will include, in addition
to the regular schedule, the stopping at
College of the two express trains of the
Baltimore and Ohio leaving Baltimore
at nine and ten o'clock in the morning
of the day. In the evening, trains on
the same road will leave for Baltimore
at ALP, 5:13, and $40. Those who
motor through will find the College on
the Washington and Baltimore pike, s
miles north of Washington.
From Washington, College is easily
reached by Laurel or Brentwood cleo
trio cars, leaving 14th and G streets,
northwest, every 40 minutes; or by the
regular scheduled trains of the Balti-
more and Ohio.
Unless spring work is absolutely too
rushing, or some unforeseen factoIs
appear in the meantime to prevent the
trip, every farmer should make plans
to spend Memorial Day at College Park.
