Important Sheep Growers Meeting.

On Saturday, March 20, at Melon
ough Institute, the Charles County
Sheep Growers Association will meet
to formulate plan for the eo-opera-
tive shipment OF this years wool clip.
1t is desired that all sheep growers
attend this meeting, as the larger the
amount OF wool to be shipped, the
greater the inducement to the buyers to
bid on it, as well as the greater saving
in transportation and commission
charges.
If a sufficient amount of wool can be
pledged it will be possible for the As
sociation to procure an expert to grade
the wool before shipment and then each
grower viii learn exactly what is ne
cessary to receive the top price.
In these days of close margins it is
the duty of every good manager to take
all the necessary steps TO realize the
greatest profit, and the Association
feels, that what is being done success
fully by wool growers in other States
can be duplicated here if the local
sheep men will pull together.
Good speaking, moving pictures and
entertainment will be included In Sat
urday's program.
Sheep growers who have the interest
of the county, the interest of the sheep
industry and their own pecuniary in
terest at heart win turn out in full
force at this meeting.
Maryland independent. [volume] (Port Tobacco, Md.) 1874-current, 1920-03-19

Do not forget the Sheep Growers
Meeting at McDonough on the 20lh at
, Z. NJ. All sheep growers, whether
members of the Association or not viii
be interested. Every body will be in
terestcd in the moving pictures and the
musical entertainment.
HOME GRwoN VEGETABLES.
With as good land as there is in the
State for vegetables, why is 1t that so
many vegetables are brought into this
county : There are several answers
to the question: of them right.
None of the answers will stop the buy
ing OF vegetables if we do not grow
them Let us commence in time and
grow all the vegetables we need this
year and a little over There will be a
number Of people for one reason or
another who will be unable to grow as
much as they need during the year and
we must provide for them.
First comes cabbage. We can grow
cabbage and keep cabbage so that we
will have them all the year with per-
haps few weeks in the spring except
ed. Sow "a few early seed in box and
keep it in the kitchen window and you
will have carly plants So that you will
soon have crop growing. II you
have saved Your cabbage roots and
will set them in some warm corner YOU
will soon have cabbage green's that
will last you until your early cabbage
are nearly ready 10 eat. Do not sow
your late seed until sometime in June
and you will get plants In time for a
good late crop.
Next comes potatoes Plant Just a
few early potatoes. They do not do
as we'll as the late potatoes in this eli
mate. Then during the last week in
June or the first week in July plant
your main crop and you will have
plenty for the season.
Onions will require very rich soil to
do much but it will pay to save a lit
tie of the well rotted manure for the
onion bed. Sets will make early on
ions, but seed sown thinly on q rich
spot Will make large onions that will
keep thru the winter
Beans are both vegetable and meat.
Why do We not grow more? Weought
to eat more and to cat more we must
grow more. A few in the garden to
eat green and few in the corn field 20
pick dry will be wonderful help next
winter when the snow is on the ground.
Do not forget the Limas or butter
beans as they are called in the South.
Then there are the beets and carrots
and parsnips and satisfy and lots of
other vegetables that will make coun-
try life well worth living.
Now the most important thing of all
is the working of the garden. | know
the women folks are supposed to take
care of the garden but let the men do a
little of the work this year and they
will like those beans better than they
have ever done before. The vegeta-
bles will take on added interest If we
put some of our sweat to them.
