Paris High played the first game of the
season Saturday on the home grounds,
playing Livermore Falls High School,
and defeating them "a too. Paris out
classed them in every stage of the game,
and the visitors were unable to make
first down.
For Paris Burnet at right tackle
showed great improvement, and should
prove Q strong man this year. mckinley
at quarter gained the confidence OF his
teammates by his generalship and hard
playing. The back field, composed OF
@. Hubbard, left half, ]. Judkins, right
half, and Bracket at fullback, all showed
good form for their first game of the
season, advancing the ball when called
upon, and playing we'll on the defence.
The line, while new to some of the form
atoms, proved themselves capable on the
most of the plays. Every man on the
squad was given try during the game,
and each one showed the football spirit
that goes to make winning team.
For the visitors, the captain OF the
team played the star game. They were
handicapped by having Furbush, one
of their men, dislocate bis knee-cap,
necessitating his going to doctor for
treatment.

Farm Bureau Notes.

A number of Holstein breeders Of the
county met at the home of John B. Dia-
mand, Jr., near Gaithersburg on Thursday.
January nth, and organized the Montgom-
cry County Holstein Breeders Association
Officers were elected as follows: Pres't, E.
6. Fulton, Takoma Park; vice-president. D
B. Diamond, Gaithersburg secretary treas
urer, j. B. Diamond, Jr.. Gaithersburg di-
rectors. w. D. Blick. Silver Spring. and Jas.
D. King. Germantown. After inspecting
the herds on both of the Diamond farms
the entire membership drove to the farm
of L. E. Lambert. where some of the finest
cattle in this part of the country are being
assembled. The Association will be heard
from later.
The following is brief summary of the
annual report Of County Agricultural Agent
Van Hoesen made to the Board of Direc-
tors of the Farm Bureau. the Extension
Service of the University Of Maryland. and
the U. S. Department of Agriculture:
Heretofore the Extension work in the
county has covered so many different lines
that much of it was necessarily very super
fetal and unsatisfactory This year. chiefly
because of the existence of the Farm Bu-
reau, the work has been confined largely
to three projects:
|. The completion of the countrywide
organization.
2. The development of a farm supply
purchasing service.
8. The putting of agriculture into the
rural schools in really worthwhile way.
las result Of the first project we now
have IA farmers clubs under the bureau
organization. Only two districts. Rockville
and Bethesda, are unorganized. The MEM
bership of these clubs is over $50. This
is certainly real start toward an effective
countrywide organization.
THE second has had real educational
value as to the possibilities and benefits
of cooperative purchasing Of farm sup
plies. There has been no attempt to get
business. only to take care of the business
that members wished to place. Yet in
nine months individual clubs and the
bureau have handled eleven different
items-binder Irvine. fodder Irvine, timo-
thy, clover and soy bean seeds. cotton seed
meal, fertilizer, lime. coal. tires and tubes.
pillow shares and repairs-to the amount of
$55.948.S8. with an Approximate saving
to the members of $7,87718.
THE tabulated report of the principal
items of Office and field work is as follows
Official farm visits 308. miles travelled
7,346. official interviews 874, telephone
calls 437, meetings addressed 1l3. attend
ance 3,244. letters written 1900. circular
letters prepared SO. copies mailed 8.228.
visits by specialists "a.
The third project now includes devoting
l-2 hours to each of two schools every
Wednesday and Friday afternoon, cover
ing eighteen schools in ALL There are en-
rolled at present 384 boys and girls in these
school agricultural clubs. The membership
is expected to reach 400 during the winter.
1t is too early to say just what the result
will be, but the interest on the part Of the
children. the teachers and the communi-
ties concerned is far in excess Of any club
work heretofore undertaken in the county"
