CECIL COUNTY TOUR

TO Be Seen and Heard


To Be Seen and Heard
AS was announced at our Farm
er's Day meeting the annual county
tour will be held this coming Satur-
day. August 22nd. The tour has
been carefully planned to include
wide range of subjects OF interest 70
both the men and the women OF the
county and it is hoped that as many
as possibly can, will make the tour
with us. A day spent in seeing how
the other fellow handles the same
problems that bother us often offers
a solution to our own difficulties,
and we feel that the tour snouio
nrove of interest and value to all
who can come along Saturday.
The trip will start promptly at
"A M at Colora, at which place we
plan to go through the corn cannery
of the Colora Canning Company,
and to see the use made of the waste
busks and cobs from the cannery.
Leaving Colora at $3.50, for those
who are interested in home gardens
n nuick trip can be made to the gar
den of Mrs. w. H. Tatum, at Colora,
the rest of the party proceeding 70
the farm of Mr.. EMS McGrady, at
upper Principle, where one OF the
finest herds of Jersey cattle in the
county will be inspected.
Leaving Mr.. McGrady's at lo:lo'
our next stop will be at the neighbor-
ing farm of Mr.. VIM. 7. Dinsmore,
where a fine herd OF pureDred
Poland China hogs will be seen.
From Mr.. Dinsmore's, leaving at
about 1920, we plan to reach tRe
farm of Mr.. T. B. Miller, Cherry
Hill. at about 1920. Mr.. Miller
has very good field of tomatoes
this year that is well worth seeing
and has also been very successful In.
securing fine stand OF alfalfa tnat
should prove Of interest.
y From Mr.. Miller's the tour VIII
go to the Appleton Women's CLUB
room. at Cowentown, arriving at
twelve O'Clock. Here the women on
the trip will have the opportunity TO
see a we'll appointed club room and
to see sewing exhibit put on by the
women of the club.
Mr.. G. e. Emstrom, White Hall
Farm. a short distance from Elkton,
has very kindly rendered us the use
of his beautiful lawn as suitable
place at which to have lunch. 1t is
planned to spend an hour here, ar
irving at about 1855 and leaving at
two. Mr.. Emstrom has a very good
piece of alfalfa for us to see ana
also can give some very good infor-
nation on a tile drainage demon
stration which was conducted in
cooperation with the Maryland Ex7
tension Service, and which has prov
en- very successful.
! From Mr.. Emstrom's the tour will
go to the farm of Mr.. Geo. Nc
Keown, where a variety of interest
ing material awaits us, including
fields of sweet corn and tomatoes
for seed production, cultural meth
DDS on asparagus, propagation OF
blackberries, fertilizers on soybeans,
and very good field OF late
potatoes.
Leaving Mr.. McKeown's about
}3:1O, the final stop will be made at
the farm of Mr.. Francis Skunk
Brown, near Town Point. At Mr..
Browns farm we will have an OPP
portunity to view extensive ex-
periments on the fertilization Of
apples, peaches and grapes, and to
study orchard management methods
as practiced ON a large scale.
The above schedule will certainly
make full day, but if we are able
to hold to it the trip should END
about 4:3O Saturday afternoon. We
would rather have as many as pos
sible start with us from Colora in
the morning and take in all of the
visits, but we will be glad to have
any who cannot do this join us at
any one of our stops along the
route. AS Mr.. Browns farm Is
only about mile from the beach at
Port Herman and Town Point
wharf, it has been suggested that
we end the day with good swim
in the Elk River. Strikes me as
good suggestion, so all who care to
bring along your bathing suits and
we will end an enjoyable day with
a good swim.
feel it is hard in one day trip
! to get in the number of visits we
would all like to make. The visits
this year have been selected to give
as large a range of interest as we
could cover in our limited time, and
should give us all an enjoyable and
profitable day. We would ike 70
put the tour across big, so help us
do so by tuning up the family car,
