COUNTY WIDE CAMPAIGN FOR POUL-
TRY INDUSTRY.

There will be a public meeting fo
all interested in poultry culture a
Frizzell's Hall, Eldersburg, on Wed
nesday. May 10th, at s. p. m. This i:
the first of series of meetings thai
are being arranged by the Carol
County Branch of the Maryland State
Poultry Association, Incorporated, fol
the purpose of bringing directly be
fore the people this great cooperative
movement that is designed to welt
the poultry raisers of Maryland into
an effective business machine.
Dr. F. B. Bomberger, Assistant Di-
rector of the State Extension Service
will be the principal speaker of the
evening. DR.. Bomberger is an exper
on agricultural organization and hi
viii explain the essentials of effect
i've cooperative action. President
Thomas w. Kemp, of the State Asso
citation. will present the policies ot
the organization of which he is the
head and outline the plans for the CO.
operative marketing of eggs and
poultry products which the associa.
tion will inaugurate.
Carroll county is the premier poul.
try producing county of Maryland and
the State Association has decided to
concentrate organization work upon
the establishment of the first county
branch in Carroll. To accomplish this
purpose and commence the coopera-
tive marketing of eggs and the pur-
chase of supplies it is necessary that
large and representative member
ship be obtained.
temporary organization of the
Branch has been accomplished with
George Edward Knox, of Finksburg,
as President, and Herbert G. Matthias
Of Westminster, as Secretary. The
permanent organization of the Branch
will not be undertaken until a
thorough canvass of the county has
been made and a representative mem
bershiD obtained.
Other meetings will be held at Tan
eytOwn. Manchester, and New Wind
sor in the near future and the meet
ing for permanent organization of the
Branch will be held in Westminster
early in June.
In an announcement recently made
by President Kemp of the State AS
sociation. he says: Let it be distinct
ly understood that this is a farmers
movement. The poultry industry is a
farm industry and although large
commercial producing plants ap-
pear to dwarf the industry on the
general farm, it must be remembered
that the great bulk of the eggs pro-
duced come from small farm f1ocks
and it is on the general farm that
eggs can be produced with the great
est economy. We want to bring the
farmers of Maryland together and
demonstrate to them that the proper
care of poultry and the careful grad
ing of eggs with a cooperative organ
ization behind them to economically
market their production is the prop
er procedure and a paying PROPOSE
ton"

REPORT OF THE BUILDING COM
MTTTEE WESLEY NJ. Z. CHURCH.

The Building Committee presents
the following report to the congrega-
ton:
Total amount received until April
30. 1922 $10,141.0S.
Total amount paid out, $9.3S3.OS.
Balance on hand. $758.00.'
1t is very gratifying to the Com
mittee to be able to report that all
almost all the rhinestone has been
paid for. and that during the coming
week the committee will complete
payment on the bill for all the mill
work, also that all labor bills have
been paid without our being compel
led to negotiate any loan.
We are glad to announce that The
building operation will be resumed
this week The masons will be here
during the early part of the week to
carry forward the work, and we hope
for an early completion.
The resumption of work will Of
course necessitate renewed expendi-
lures for labor and materials, and we
earnestly appeal to all subscribers
who are in a position to do so, to IA
vor us with a payment on their sub
scriptions. Such payments will en-
able us to carry on the work for some
time to come without being forced to
float a loan, and thus save interest.
We wish to express our apprecia-
tion of the fine spirit of cooperation
and sacrafice which the members OF
the community have shown in haul
ing stone and lumber, in clearing
away debris, in cutting, saving and
hauling timber. in generously donat-
ing timber, and in helping in every
possible way to further this building
project so vital to us all.
1t is no exaggeration to say that
some thousand of dollars have been
saved by the donations of timber and
by this labor of love for the Church.
Earnestly soliciting your continued
cooperation and your fervent prayers
for us in this our difficult task, We re-
main.
Faithfully yours,

100 FOREST FIRES IN APRIL.

After a month of so little rainfall
that the Weather Bureau has to go
back so years to find its equal the
forests of the State are in critical
ly dry condition. Already over 100 fires
have been reported to the State Board
of Forestry for April, and if this dry
condition continues, there number
will be greatly increased, unless the
utmost care is taken by the citizens
of the State.
In ordinary times, the careless fire
may burn itself out, or is easily stop
ped before getting much headway.
Now the litter and debris in the woods
is like tinder and once started, rivers
can scarcely quench the fire. The

opportunity to urge upon all citizens
