MILK AND HOME GARDENING.
President Of State Agricultural College
To Give Entire Day To
Annapolis.

Two meetings Of unusual interest to
| Annapolifans will be held on Monday
January 2Sth. IN the old Senate Cham
Der under the auspices of the Mary
land Council Of Defense (Women's
Section) for Anne Arundel County
/ Or Alfred f. Woods, President OF
the state Agricultural College, viii be
the speaker on both occasions.
In the morning at II o'clock he will
speak on Milk Production" Notices
Of this meeting have been sent to the
ten or eleven men who supply milk to
Annapolis households, and it is ex-
pected that they will all be present.
The purpose of this meeting is to
give the dairymen an opportunity to
profit by the thorough study of the
| subject which Dr.. Woods has made
by virtue Of his position as chairman
OF the recent State Milk Investigation
Commission. He is eonyersant with
the subject of milk production one
might say right from the calf to the
consumer and is in a position to give
most valuable advice and information
to those whose minds are open to re-
ceive it,
HOusekeepers Helped.
The housekeepers Of Annapolis will
also be much interested, not only in
what DR.. Woods can tell them of the
cost of production, but in hearing and
taking part in the general discussion
which will follow his address.
There is much to be said from the
consumers point of view as well as
from the producers, but there is one
thing that ii would be well to con
~sider and that is the fact that if any
more Annapolis dairymen go out of
business there will be real suffering,
as under the present conditions none
OF those remaining in the milk trade
are able TO take on new customers.
Therefore it behooves the Annapo-
lis women to attend the morning
meeting at II O'Clock and to learn in
Just what way they can help the sit
uation. BY cooperating with the
dairymen, by not insisting on early
morning deliveries and by skimming
their own cream fronf their own milk
and using the skim milk for cooking.
The law forbids the sale of skim
milk unless in specially marked con-
tainers, which would duplicate the
labor of handling and bottling. The
question Of a central distribution bu-
reau viii also be discussed. If this
could become an established fact, as
it is in other places, the cost of milk
could be greatly lessaned
At the request OF Or. Thomas Fell,
President Of ST. Johns College, DR..
Woods viii address the st. Johns
students on the subject of buying food
in large quantities, with view to
showing them how to reduce their
mess bills. During his presidency of
the University of Minnesota, DR..
Woods had ample opportunity to OBJ
serve and study Just such matters. He
viii undoubtedly be able to give some
valuable hints to the boys as to how
to cut down expenses.
Or. Fell viii entertain Dr. Woods
at luncheon
Afternoon Meeting.
At o'clock there will be a second
meeting in the old Senate Chamber.
for which the subject viii be Better
Home Gardens. There was undoubt-
edly much misdirected effort along
these lines last Spring and Summer
One professor on Franklin street is
! still wondering why his corn grew to
be only three feet high, and why his
potatoes were so soggy when they
We're dug out Of the ground that they
seemed to be already boiled
It is to avoid just such wasted
time and effort that the State College
has prepared a series of lectures on
Home Gardening"
That on Monday next will be the
| preliminary one Of this series. Cards
viii be issued to every person attend
ing this meeting, which are to be

| pound of cure

better garden next Spring sign up
