Farm Bureau Notes.

meeting Of the sheep growers was
held in the Farm Bureau office on Monday
afternoon for the purpose of arranging to
pool part of the 1920 wool clip. for which
there has been no market. AS a result
about one ton of wool will be shipped to
North Carolina mill and made into bed
blankets and automobile robes. No at
tempt is being made to handle the entire
wool in the hands of the farmers. Only
those who would like to put all or part
of their clip into blankets or robes for
their own use, or to sell to their neighbors
and friends at wholesale prices, will be
interested in the proposition. For such the
plan is an excellent one. All wool to be
pooled should be brought to Holland &
Clarks warehouse by noon Saturday, Janu-
airy goth. when it will be graded and pre-
pared for shipment by a man from the
Extension Service of the University OF
Maryland. Full particulars of this pool
can be had at the Farm Bureau office,
where full-sized samples can be seen.
Those not having wool to pool. but desir-
ing to purchase hieh-class blankets and
robes at wholesale prices, should see these
samples at once and place their orders.
This is practical demonstration in CO.
operative marketing for product for which
there is no demand at present through the
regular channels.
The second annual meeting of the Mont
gomery County Farm Bureau will be held
in Rockville on Westinghouse birthday, Feb
ruary 22nd, 1921 Preparations are under

morning and afternoon sessions. Further

Sixteen Thousand Is Raised For
Electric Line.

Those behind the movement, started
several weeks ago. for the extension Of
the Capital Traction electric line from
Chevy Chase Lake. its present terminus in
this county, to Kensineton and possibly
beyond. are confident it will be successful
A conference with the railway officials.
it is understood. will be held soon. A pro-
posal that may be made them is that
the owners Of property along the route
of the proposed extension donate the
rights of way and pay the expense of
grading and laying all ties If the COM
pany will lay the rails and stand all other
expenses incident to completing the road
from Chevy Chase Lake to Kensington, a
distance Of about miles. What the citi-
zens are willing to do will cost. it is esti-
mated, about $4,000. including the con-
struction of concrete bridge over Rock
Creek.
The movement for the extension of the
road had its inception among residents Of
Kensington. who are said to have long
felt the need of better electric railway
facilities Several weeks ago a citizens
meeting was held at KensingtOn. when a
committee. consisting Of Mayor W. w..
Skinner. Mai. Adelno Gibson, DR.. Eugene
Jones, George H. Snyder and Ralph H.
Chappell, was named to solicit subscrip-
tons. This committee. il is understood.
has already succeeded in obtaining about
$4,000.
While it is hoped that the line ultimately
will be extended beyond Kensington, pres
ent efforts are being directed to inducing
the company to construct the road to n
point a short distance north Of the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad station in Ken
sington. The route apparently most favor
ed is to the west Of and for the greater
part Of the distance parallel to the present
electric line from Chevy Chase Lake to
Kensineton.
