DECLARED SUCCESSFUL
1900 Farmers Attend Annual Con-
vention In Cambridge Fifty-nine
Present From Worcester Co.

The annual convention of the Mary
land Agricultural Society-The Mary
land Farm Bureau Federation which
was held in Cambridge last week will
go down in history as one of the most,
if not the most, successful meetings
of its kind ever held in this State. 1t
was estimated that between 1900 and
1900 farmers, and Farm Bureau men,
bers were there and they came from
every section of the State, the ma
jcrity coming from the Eastern Shore
The election of officers on the last
day resulted in the reelection of f..
P Cohill, of Hancock, as president,
and James w. Davis, president of the
Hartford County Farm Bureau, vice.
president. Their election was practi-
cally unanimous, Edwin Warfield, Jr,
the retiring vice-president declined to
be a candidate for reelection due to
the pressure of business.
The affiliated farm organizations
also held their annual meetings and
most of these elected officers for the
ensuing year. These meetings, too,
were we'll attended.
John w. Coverdale, secretary of the
big Grain Marketing Company of Chi
cago, and Mrs. Charles w. Sewell,
chairman Of the Home and Communi-
tx cOr, N, itfoo Of tho Tpdiono For,,, D.,
reau Federation, were among the
principal speakers at the convention.
The Farm Bureau banquet held on
Thursday night of the convention; the
oyster roast given on Wednesday af-
ternoon followed by a general recep-
tion to the delegates and dance, were
among the principal entertainment
features. Nearly 400 men and women
were seated at the banquet tables
Music, vocal and instrumental, cha
rades and "stunts" were included in
the evening program. These events
were held in the Cambridge armory.
Worcester county's "stunt" advo-
eating diversified farming and depict
ing Worcester's varied resurces,
won much commentator. J. F. Smith
and Guy Corbin were the center of at
traction at the dance.
Fifty-nine Worcester County Farm

HEATH GREGORY
CHARMS AUDIENCE
High Class Musical Program Pre-
sented At Empire Theatre
Wednesday Evening

A trio of musical artists, operating
under the name of the Heath Greg
ory combination, appeared in the EN-
pire Theatre last Wednesday evening
and presented the programme Of the
third event on the list of winter en-
tertainments, furnished by the An
trim Bureau.
The real names of the musicians
were Mrs. Ruth Knight, soprano, So
loist and piano accompanist; Malcolm
L Mccormack, basso; and Robert
Brunton, violinist.
The work of these three constituted
IN the opinion of many, the very best
offering in the way of musical talent
that has visited Pocomoke City in
many years.
The programme was arranged to
suit an audience of varied tastes: Sc
lections from operas; folk songs;
popular ditties; and humorous dia-
logue.
Mrs. Knight added to a pleasing
personality, a voice whose only lack
was fullness, volume. But this was
atoned for in the clear rich tones
perfect control; sympathetic chord;
and wonderful range. Some of her
runs and trills showed rare cultiva-
ton, and with all that might many
times be termed rare technique, she
showed surrender to her theme
which made her renditions truly inter
pretative. In operate OF homely Sc
lection, she revealed that abandon so
characteristic of real artist. 1t was
a treat to listen to her.
Mr.. McCormack's voice, ranging
from high tenor to low bass, was at
first difficult to locate. But in what
ever key pitched he was master of
the score. Seldom is the opportunity
given, under similar circumstances,
to hear such a gift of song. His pre-
sentations, if it is not criminal to re-
duce them to money value, were worth
the price of the whole seasons admis-
$ ons. Rare is it that so much talent
is offered in such environment.
McCormack's voice was equal to a
ramble over two octaveS or more, and
his reach to the low bass notes was
true and full. To gain
the heights he has attained as vo
calist, must have required many
hours of rigid training and study.
And yet with all the effort to acquire
his technique, he has not lost that true
artistic appreciation of his subjects
which marks the real musician.
He was pleasing in the simple
and in his operate numbers
his whole manner showed rare talent
and capability to attack the most
difficult roles. 1t is to be hoped he
and tn eothers may come again.
Mr.. Brunton's violin performance
was in line with the offerings of the
other two. He and his instrument

Mistake to Depend Upon
Weather to Cool Cream

When cold weather comes on many
farmers give up their cream cooling
tanks and depend upon the tempera-
ture of the air to cool the cream.
This is a mistake. The cream cooling
tank where the cream can be cooled
in cold water should be used the year
round.
If there is not room for a cream
cooling tank within the building, where
1t can be kept from freezing, some
other arrangement should be made for
cooling the cream in cold water Inn
mediately after it is separated. Where
1t is cooled down to temperature OF
so or below, 1t can be mixed In with
the other cream and kept in a cool
room, tightly covered.
Cream cans should always be kept
tightly covered except during process
Of cooling.
Where fresh cream is added to the
can it should always be stirred. A
long stirring rod should be in use on
every farm, so that the cream can be
stirred from the bottom to the top of
the can. The creameries should see
that all their patrons are supplied
with these stirring rods.

DAIRY
FACTS
DAIRY HEIFER FEED
is VERY IMPORTANT

One of the things that firmly be-
lieve to be good dairy advice, and also
one that should be constantly told, Is
the necessity of regularity and kind
ness in the treatment of dairy cows,
says writer in the Indiana Farmers
Guide. 1t is a plain duty that no
dairyman can well afford to overlook.
The dairy COW, strictly speaking, is a
creature subject to habit, In that re-
spect the same as a human being ana
any sudden change in methods, etc., or
In the various ways that she Is han
died, is sure to have its effect. If the
change be good one, the dairy COW
will respond especially If that change
be in the way of kindness and an oc-
casional change in feeding rations. II
the change be otherwise, II surely Will
leave its effect and an undesirable re-
suit. Dairy cows are creatures OF
mood and also temperament and bad
treatment will result in falling off
on the production end.
Another thing of much Importance
is the fact that Irregularities In the
feeding and milking periods reduce
not only the quantity but, by actual
tests, the quality of the milk produced.
That's worth considering If change
must be made in the milking period, it
should be done gradually, likewise In
the feeding period If 1t must be
changed at all.
/ believe when dairymen, farmers,
and everyone who has to do with cows,
begin to appreciate fully the wisdom
of treating them with the utmost con-
sideration, then and not until then,
will the average butterfat production
be on the increase. Then $50 pounds
per COW yearly will be common
thing and rightly so.

Breeding Diseases Are
Often Caused by Feeds

Breeding diseases are often caused
by feeds not containing enough min
erals due to dryness of season. Cows
and other animals breed much more
regularly when on pasture than when
on dry feed. The steamed bonemeal,
or bone -four. for feeding purposes is
purer than the fertilizer bonemeal. 1t
is desirable to have the bonemeal as
fine as 1t can be secured. This is
steamed by the manufacturer in large
steel drums for several hours. Any
feed dealer can get this for you. Mix
equal parts of steamed bonemeal, air
slaked limes and salt. Give one-fourth
pound to each COW per day in the feed.
Do not allow any other salt.

Item Shows Advance Since the Pioneer Days

"He contracted to do all the work
and to furnish everything except
lights for the sum of $50. 1t was con-
sidered very high price, and the tax
payers made a protest against 1T.
This information handed down to the
present generation regarding the con-
struction of an early Indiana school
house indicates the change in the cost
of our public buildings since pioneer
days. Fifty dollars nowadays would
hardly pay for the front steps of one
of the big township consolidated school
buildings scattered all over Indiana.
But, of course, the pioneer schoolhouse
was humble and simple in the extreme.

paper instead of glass for windows, the
