Soil TESTING Campai4n.

College Park, Md. Jan. 17.-Impress-
ed with the large number of farmers who
profited by last years soil testing CAM
paign, the Soil Department Of the Uni
versity of Maryland Experiment Station
is planning for another campaign to be
launched within the next few months,
probably during the spring blowing sea-
son when soil samples will be easy to Sc
cure.
Since February 2, 1920. when the soil
testing campaign was inaugurated, more
than 500 farmers have sent samples Of
soil from approximately l. 900 fields which
have been tested for lime requirements
in the Experiment Station laboratory.
Owing to the fact that there is great
variation in the amount Of lime needed
on different farms in different sections
of the State, it is estimated that farm
ers last year were saved thousands of
dollars and benefited greatly through
improved soil conditions as result Of the
soil tests. 1t is only through the test
that the exact number of bushels or
pounds of lime per acre ca n be determin-
ed.
The soil testing work at the Expert
ment Station is in charge of DR.. A. G.
Mccall and Prof. A. M. Smith. THE
Soil Department and the Extension Ser
vice, thro the County Agents, are will
ing at any time to test samples Of soil,
said Dr. Mccall, :'from any farm in the
State and the amount of lime needed to
correct the acidity or sourness of his soil
should be matter of vital interest to
every farmer.

Association Growing.

A me. ting of the Thurmont School
Improvement Association was held in the
High School Auditorium Monday evening
of this week At this meeting fourteen
new names were added to the list OF
members, making a total Of l0S. Mat
tiers pertaining to the betterment OF the
school were brought up and discussed,
the principal topic being drainage. While
the school ground generally is dry. vet
the portion used as a ball ground and for
other sports serves as sort of trough
to carry off the surface water of the high
ground on virtually three sides of the
plat. To get rid of this surface water
SO that the field is in condition to play on
at any time is the object of draining the
field In summer time during a heavy
rain quite a stream of water rushes
across the field and at this time of the
year and in the spring snow melting on
the hill comes down and keeps the
ground wet A ground on which to play
at any time is what is wanted.
During the evening solos were sung by
Mrs. S. l.. Shaffer and Miss Jeanette
Nicodemps.
The Association is now arranging for a
defamation contest Four boys and four
girls will enter the contest. A medal
will be awarded the boy and the girl
Judged the winners of tie home contest
and those receiving the medals will have
an opportunity of entering contest for
county and state medals The date of
the contest has not yet been determined.

Abraham Lincoln" as all the world

times of Lincoln would be of service to
his own people in the present troubled
hour. 1t was the absolute sensation OF

Who Shall Be Queen OF
The Carnival?

We announced two weeks ago that the
Thurmont High School and the School
Improvement Association would hold
Carnival in the Town Hall, Friday and
Saturday nights, February and s, 1921.
We announced last week that all the
committees had been appointed and plans
were being perfected to make this Car
nival a grand success.
Our sole aim is to give every one who
attends the most delightful time they
have ever had time that will leave
nothing but pleasant memories in its
wake.
But, Citizens of Thurmont and COM
munity, without your unstinted cooper
alton, all the plans We may make Will
be of little avail, and should the Carnival
be a failure because of a lack of cooper
alton it would not only be keen disap-
pointment to those VINO are working so
hard to make it SUCCESS but it would
leave sting that the citizens of the
community would feel for long time.
Since hearing that Carnival was to
be held have you been thinking about it
and planning what you would do to help
make it success? 1t you have not.
won't yon please get busy now? Let US
all make the success of the Carnival our
personal aft cir, then am sure there can
be no sueh thing as failure.
If the money we hope to make by hold
ing the Carnival were to be used for
something trashy or worthless we would
not think of asking for your support and
co-opera ton but as every dollar we make
is to be used for the improvement of the
educational and athletic facilities of our
school in such Il way that your children
and your chiidren's children will be ben
Gifted by it we feel justified in appeal
ing to you for support.
Thurmont has never been known to
withhold support from worthy object,
therefore we are expecting that you will
stand shoulder to shoulder with Us and
help make this Carnival great social as
v ell MS financial success.
Let us each do our part in such way
that when the Carnis al is over We can
consre,nious,y share in whatever glory
it brings. x.

from the city of Hagerstown an issue OF
$40, 900. 5 per cent. serial bonds. Inter.
est in the purchase of this form of secur-

were twelve other bidders, representing
banks, investment dealers and private
investors in Baltimore and New York.
The issue was made for the improvement
of the sewerage system.
The bonds are to be issued in seria
