Charles County Farmers Federation.

The regular quarterly meeting of,the
Charles County Farmers Federation
was held in the Court House, La Plata,
January llth, with the President, Mr..
W. G. Bishop, presiding.
Representatives we're present from
The Sheep Growers Association, Nc
Conchie Grange, Waldorf Community
Club, La Plata Home and School I'M
provement Association, Indian Head
Home Garden Club, Welcome COmmu-
nifty Club, Bel Alton Community Club,
and Sth District.
After some felicitous remarks by the
President, representatives from the
different organizations told OF their.
work and Of the value that visits from
the several organizations would be 10
each organization and how it would
not only get the couaty better ac-
quainted with the several parts ~ tho
county, but would make for co-opef-
alton ihat cannot exist until we krow
each Other better. Mrs. G.. +. Legis,
from Waldorf, Illustrated this get-to
gether work BY the cooperation that
now exists on the Eastern Shore of
Virginia. It was pointed ont that the
homes we're Improved and living con-
ditions bettered by the farmers uniting
and sticking together. The idea Of
sticking is one that we need to empha-
size here in this county at the present
time
Prof. Oldenburg, of the Extension
Service, was present and in few WE'LL
chosen words told the needs of the
county in order that we might get the
best results from our labors on the
farm. Briefly, it was that we must get
vegetable matter into the soil and use
iiIne so kecp 70 swcct. 10 get Vogrba-
BILE matter In the soil we must have
more stock and produce manure or
grow green manure crops.
Prof. Bernard f, Gwynn made a
comparison between what Charles
County is doing and the other coun-
ties of the State, in supporting our
schools. He showed that our taxable
basis is not the lowest and our tax
rate not the least; yet we are spending
less of our taxes for schools than any
county in the State. A motion was
made and carried that committee of
three be appointed TO find out just
where the taxes go, outside what we
spend each year ior roads and schools.
The County Agent announced that
the state Seed Laboratory would clean
any tobacco seed that any one would
send them, free OF charge.
Meeting adjourned to meet the lst
Tuesday in April. II p. b.

JOHN P. BURDETTE.
County Agent.

According TO a ruling last week OF
the Supreme Court of Baltimore City,
the records of the various courts Of
the state will hereafter be copied by
means OF typewriting machines, rather
than in the old style handwriting.
Just when the new system will 90 into
effect has not YET been determined.
While the counties will not be so
affected, the ruling in Baltimore City
is looked upon as great blow to ward
and precinct politicians. The Office
in Baltimore most seriously affected
is that in the land department, under
Stephen G. Little, Clerk of the Supe-
rior Court. In that Office, ii is said,
the recorders number so or more, ac-
cording 10 the amount of business
done.
The politicians are fearful now that
the typewriting machines will make an
opening for others than the ld-time
precinct workers.
