ONE-MAN FARMS SOLVE LABOR
Orlando w. Harrison, of Berlin, Md,
Gets Salisbury Chamber of Com
merce Enthused Over His Plans

The first definite step toward the
realization of the plan sponsored by
Senator Orlando w. Harrison, of Ber-
lin, Md, for the subdivision of farms
bordering on each side of the State
highway between Salisbury and Ocean
City into "one-man FARMS" were tax
en- at the meeting of the Salisbury
Chamber recently. A record attend
ance heard Senator Harrison outline
the project, which has been the sub
ject of much discussion since it first
was announced almost a month ago.
Senator Harrison stated that the idea
which he has entertained and upon
which he has been working was to line
the highway from Salisbury to the At
lantic Ocean, excluding towns and
farms already divided in this manner,
with a series of 20-acre farms, each
equipped with a comfortable home and
necessary buildings, all in good taste;
these to be subdivided into plots of
three acres with 210 feet front. With
the land subdivided, the purchaser will
find no obstacle in his way to becom-
ing a producer, he said, and it is, in
the mind of Senator Harrison, sOlu-
tion of the problem of keeping the
young people on the farm. The cone
man farm" he stated, was the safest
of all propositions, and he pointed out
how the division of this large area in
to smaller lots would increase the
population and wealth of the entire
section.
Farmers Without Labor, Independent
Much of this land was pointed out
as being located in the best straw
berry producing section of the coun-
try. 1t is said an acre of this land
would normally produce a cash return
for this crop of from $500 to $1,000
to the owner. Poultry raising, too
has revived in the section and may
be depended upon for a substantial
return. Senator Harrison stated that
the plans were now rapidly gaining
headway and was enthusiastic in his
plea for help and cooperation of the
Salisbury Chamber of Commerce be-
cause it had proved itself to be a wide.
awake organization which had the in
terest of the whole community al
heart. The body went on record as
indorsing the plan of dividing the
farms as suggested and a committee
was appointed to help present thG
| matter tn the Duhlic
Committee to Form an Association
A committee was also authorized
on motion of James E: Ellegood, vet
eran member of the Maryland bar, II
be composed of President Fredericl
P. Adkins and Secretary Charles M
Freeman, of the chamber, and a rep
reseHtative from each of the bank
and building and loan associations il
Salisbury, Berlin and Ocean City t.
look into the matter of the formation
of local farm or rural building an,
loan association. The functions o
this organization, it was explained
would be to render financial assistanc
to the purchaser of one of the farms
who would otherwise be unable t
cOnsummate such a deal.
