On this day 285 years ago. nearly three
centuries, the AK and Dove discharged their
human freight on the shores of St. Mary's river
1t was bold adventure for these people, who
had left their homes and broken all ties to cross
an almost unknown ocean and to go to an un-
known land. inhabited by savages. They were
a long time on the voyage, in vessels not too
large to place upon the deck of one of the
ocean liners Of today. No one now would
think Of crossing the ocean in such tiny craft.
1t must have been most uncomfortable VOYAGE
in the crowded quarters, and the sight of the
beautiful land was surely a pleasant one. 1t
was spot which. they said, looked like park.
The spring was just beginning and after the
stormy sea came wild flowers and every pleas
ing prospect. The colonists bought a village
from the Indians, with whom they established
friendly relations They prospered from the
first and were never subjected to the hardships
that afflicted the colonists Of New England be-
cause of the rigorous climate, nor the famine and
the attacks Of Indians, such as the Jamestown
colonsts suffered. St. Marv's was fitting
place in which to establish religious iberty.--

The people OF the county, regardless of pro-
fessional calling, are urged to attend the Farm
ers' Institute to be held at the Court House.
Leonardtown. on Saturday, March 20. Not
only will they reap some benefit from the lee
lures that will be delivered by men who have
made special study Of the various branches of
agriculture, but their individual opinions and suq-
gestiois are desired In the general discussions
tbat1vill take place.
The men who will be here to make address,
es make no pretension Of being better farmers
than many who will be in their audience. but
they can bring to the farmers of the county the
benefit Of extensive tests that have been made
at the Maryland Experiment Station, tests that
it Is impossible for the average farmer to con-
duct.
The great wealth of ST. Mary's lies in her
agricultural resources, but definite plan must
be followed if these are to be properly develop
ed. The purpose of the Extension Service
under whose auspices this institute is held, is to
Ind out just what lines Of agriculture are best
suited to each section, and to determine by ex-
haustive experiments the methods that will most
economically accomplish the desired result.
Farming. no matter what line is followed, can
not be successfully done without some well or
gained method Of procedure. 1t is business
undertaking that must be carefully thought out
and carried on along safe lines.
Every farmer in the county should be present
at the institute. For him it is not a holiday,
and the question as to whether he can spare the
time from his work does not enter into the mat
ter at all. It will prove the best days work he
can put in during the year. for it will help him
to solve many Of the problems that will confront
him as the season develops.
