Agricultural Notes.

What is meant by an Agrieul tura
Program
Al the meeting OF the County Agents
last week program of work was en-
phasized. When we were called 10
Annapolis before the Governor the
same idea was In his mind. So | will
try TO explain.
The district or community OF every
county should have an organization.
Everything should start there. There
will be many things OF Importance TO q
certain district that will only concern
that district. eThen there will be many
things of Importance to that district
that will be Of great concern TO the
whole county and some that win con-
Germ several counties and some the
whole State. Now let us suppose We
are in a district OF the county. What
are the means of making a living 10
that district Growing tobacco, rails
ing hogs, producing eggs, producing
beef growing fruit, producing hay,
etc.
Are there any DIFFICULTIES encountered
in any OF these projects ? i. so, what
are the remedies
Take the firstS What are the diff
culties : First, producing a good
crop. Soil fertility. How can the
soil be made to produce the best cropS
Perhaps the particular section could
grow something with more profit.
That could ali bs brought about in a
with the farmers Of that
district.
Next, taking care Of the crop. The
best way to handle 1t. This could be
answered by the community. How to
market il. This is a county or state
affair and should be referred to the
county 10 answer. So for each one of
the projects. The difficulties and rem
edies could be discussed and the solu-
sion of the problems would be an ex-
cellent thing to be considered in every
community and by every county and
finally by the State.
Let's get together in every district
and plan our work. This will bring
about Farm Bureau for this county
TO work with the others OF the State.

County Agent.

The Library"

Get good books; give them home
attractive to readers of good booke;

polite or social, il uniies all in the
pursuit of high pleasure and sound
learning, and gives that common in
terest in common concern which is
the basis of all local pride.
If you have rightly read book,
that book rs yours.
You cannot always choose your
companions; you. can always choose
your books. You can, If you will,
spend d few minutes every day with
the best and wisest men and women the
world has ever known.
The people you have known, The
things you have said and done, and
the books you have read, all these are
now part of you.
You like yourself better when you
are with people who are well-bred ard
clever; you respect yourself more
when you are reading bright and
wholesome book, for you are then in
the company of the wise. K

the hall, as examinations are over.
The lucky sophomores finished Thurs

Mr.. Myer Schwartz died at a hos
pital in Washington Monday hight
last; after brief illness from pneu.
monia, aged 81 years.
The deceased came to the county
about ten years ago and engaged in
the mercantile business at Indian
Head. Sometime after doing so, he
erected the most modern and up-to-
date store ever built in this county,
which was unfortunately destroyed by
ire about two years ago. Undaunted,
however, by his misfortune, Mr..
Schwartz soon found other quarters
and carried on a successful business
up to the time of his illness.
The deceased, after coming here,
soon won a warm SPOT in the hearts OF
the people, not only In Indian Head,
but throughout the county. He leaves
a wife and one son surviving, to whom
we extend our heartfelt sympathy.

LONDON, January 20.-When Am
+bassador Harvey declared that Amer
lea was damn well out of the Euro
pean mess he voiced the sentiment
of most American observers on this
side. Outside France, Europe is
watching developments in the Ruhr
and in the east and central part
of the continent with acute anxiety.
The hatred which is being generated
now equals in intensity and volume
anything developed during the war.
If Germany had the means she would
jump at Frances throat with the
ferocity of an animal enraged by con-
tirued prodding.
Europe Full OF Gunpowder.
Not only in Germany, but from
Memel to the Black sea, trouble is
brewing, and there still is enough
gunpowder lying around in Europe
to cause a loud explosion. War may
be averted, but unless something ap-
preaching a miracle is performed by
the league of nations or some dis
interested ace:desiring group 1t
will only be postponed for a short
time.
