CORN. GROWING IN MARYLAND

CORN, GROWING IN MARYLAND
Corn was the earliest cultivated

Indians were producing it and pre-
pairing various foods from it when
Captain John Smith explored Chesa-
peake Bay in 1908,

both upon the acre yield and upon
the area planted. But the fiuctua-
tions in production from year to
year are almost solely due to varia-
lions in yield. The tendency at the
present time is to increase the aver
age yield rather than the acreage.
Only three times during the past
rs years has the average yield in
Maryland gone below 80 bushels to
the acre. And most OF that 1t was
considerably above that figure.
Since 1915 there is a steady up
ward trend in yield per acre due for
the most part to farmers under
standing cultural methods better and
exercising greater care in the selec-
ton of the, seed.

FOREST WEEK TO EMPHASIZE
VALUE OF WOOD

American Forest Week will be OBJ
served commencing next Monday
morning, as means of drawing at
teton to the Importance of wood in
everyday life, and the necessity OF
conserving the forests, the source OF
wood.
Figures supplied by the United
States Government show that dur
ing each year the forest resources OF
the nation are diminished by the oc-
cnrances Of some $4,000 forest fires
which subtract from the national
wealth to the extent of $500, 90, 100
annually. How this loss. may be
cut down through correct procedure
on the part of campers and others
will be brought out in the many
demonstrations that will be given all
over the country.
In addition to the annual deple-
ton by fire, it is estimated that many
millions of cubic feet of wood are
used for economic purposes-fuel,
lumber, poles, posts, cross-ties, pulp
and paper. These uses, together
with the fires, are said to consume
$4,000, 100000 cubic feet of timber
annually.
When the first settlers came to the
shores of the United States the coun-
try contained, according to an esti-
mate supplied by Government fig
ures, S22,OO0,OOO acres. OF virgin
forest. At the present time, accord
ing to the same authority, the vir-
gin forests of the contry spread over
1876, 100000 acres. The stand on
these acres, however, is said to be SO
heavy that it, together with the new
forests which have grown up on the
scene of the earlier emitting, contains
more than 1000, 900, 600 900 feet OF
saw timber, which is estimated to
be about 4O-per cent of what was
there 800 years ago.
Although in volume this amount
of timber makes the country appear
fortunate, it is pointed out by Gov
eminent experts that one-half OF. the
stand is on the Pacific Coast, widely
removed from the East, where are
located most of the factories de-
pendent upon the supply Of lumber.
The lumber industry is said to be
the. foremost consumer OF tn. pro-
ducts of the forest, using about one
third of the wood cut annually. The
total Investment all over the coun-
try in this. industry is said to be
equal to forty per cent of the entire
valuation of the American railway
systems and to represent approx
r.ately $4,000, 200, 200, employ g
100000 out of every 1,I0c,00U per-
sons and turning out annually
100000 all-timber cottages.
AS a means OF conserving the
forests the United States Govern
ment ever since 1911 has been buy
ing land, especially along the APP
palachian Mountain system. 7 h e
latest governmental act in this re-
gard is the Clarke-McNary act, pas
sed last spring and to become effec-
tive next July. The bill provides
for cooperation with the States and
more extensive efforts along the line
OF reforestation.

MAY DAY-CHILD HEALTH
DAY

From the State Dept. of Health.
" The best six doctors anywhere
And no one can deny it
Are sunshine, water, rest>and air
And exercise and Diet
The six doctors mentioned in this
rhyme will figure largely in the pro-
gram that will be arranged for
school assemblies, health center con-
ferences, club meetings, boy scout
affairs, girl scout councils. and COM
munity gatherings, for May Day
which will be celebrated throughout
the country-in response to the sug-
gestion of the American Child
Health Associations Child Health
Day.
Governor Richie has signed and
sealed a document making the firstt
day of May, Child Health Day, for
the people of Maryland; and DIR.
John S. Fulton, Director OF the State
Department of Health, as the official
guardian OF the health OF the people
of the state, has appointed DR.. j. II.
Mason Knox, Jr., Chief of the
Bureau of Child Hygiene, as the
Child Health Day Chairman for the
state.
The aim of the May Day celebra-
ton in Maryland will be to have
every day health day for the child
rem of the state. With that idea in
view, health conferences for the
babies and prcschool children will be
held in a number of counties, and
special exercises emphasizing some
constructive health feature, some
thing to work towards, community
health as well as personal hygiene,
will be held in the schools.
The National Congress of Parents
and Teachers, the General Fedora
ton of Women's Clubs, the Play
ground and Athletic Associations,
and organizations like the Kiwanis
and Rotary clubs, are especially in
terested in the observance of the
day. and celebrations in many places
will be arranged under their, direc-
ton. Special emphasis will be laid
| in these on reviews of progress
in child health, with plans for
strengthening such things as birth
regi tration: extension OF protec-
tive measures against diseaseN in
GLIDING vaccination against small
pox. ir2munization against diph-
iberia; care OF crippled children;
identifying and improving school
buildings and extension OF play
gro~nd and recreation facilities.
In connection with the observance
in MARYLAND, DR.. Knox directs atten-
ton to the fact that one-third OF the
total population OF the state is IN
yolyed In the plans for the day. Ac-
cording to the records OF the Bureau
of the Census, children under fifteen,
constitute thirty-three per cent OF
the population of the state. TINS
means approximately 250,O00 per-
sons-25o. 900 citizens. 1T Is quite
worth while" he says, Ito devote
not only one day to this group, but
to make every day health day for
them. They are the most valuable
resources of the state-our citizens

YELLOWSTONE PARK OPENS JUNE lS
CAMPERS MAY ENTER JUNE FIRST

Yellowstone National park, the
summer playground of the nation,
will officially open this year on June
18th, with appropriate ceremonies
being held at West Yellowstone,
Montana, the west entrance to the
park. Several governors from near
by states will participate in the
celebration, as well as Mrs. John
d. Sherman, president of the Gen
eral Federation of Woman's Clubs,
and a number of old timers. After
the celebration the gates will be
swung open and Yellowstone will
be on its way to the greatest season
in the history of the park.
On June LIST the park will be open
to people travelling in their own
cars. and who are prepared to
camp out. Only the north and west
as it is not likely that the east and
south entrances will be open before
June 18th, at the earliest, due to
snow conditions. People expecting
to visit the park before June 18th
should arrange to enter via West
Yellowstone or Gardiner. However,
by June LIST, practically all of the
main points of interest, including the
geyser basins, the canyon, terraces
and Yellowstone lake. will be ac-
cessible, but there will be no hotel
or camp accommodations available
before June 18th. People entering
the park before the official opening
date should have their own camp
equipment and be prepared for a
life in the outdoors. The general

CEMENTING EIGHT
INCH CASING in WELL

The Ohio Oil company is this
week busily al work cementing in
the eight-inch casing which has
been dropped into the well by the
Stock Drilling company, and ru-
mors are to the effect that gas may
be brought to Cody for commercial
and domestic use this summer. Ad-
vices were received from headquar-
tiers to discontinue drilling opera
tons and put the hole in shape for
gas production last week, and ev-
cry available sack of cement, 500
in all, were Immediately hauled to
the well for that purpose.
Those interested in the oil situa-
ton in the Cody fields are very
curious to learn what is to be the
attitude of the Ohio company to-
ward further development in Oregon
basin. The work which is just
closing has been going on for more
than two years, and the field is as
yet INFESTED. The well drilled by
the Stock company, which was to
have-been a deep test, blew in a
gasser, and shut down operations
in this direction. Whether a new
well will be drilled OF. not is the
information keenly awaited by local
oil men.
Taylor Down About 1000 Feet
Taylor Bros, who are drilling on
the formation north of the depot,
are down about 1000 feet and are
temporarily closed down awaiting
casing. Some very fine indications
have been had at this WE'LL and
operations will be resumed as soon
as possible.
Operations have ceased temporar-
lily at the Mahoney well, where but
n tower has been working for the
last two weeks. The lost tools are
still in the well with eight-inch
casing run down to them. Every
indication is that this work will be
resumed soon.

SENIOR CLASS PRESENTS
SCHOOL MASTER CLOCK

The Glass of 1925 of the Cody
High leaves behind something which
will not only be of great service
to the Cody high school, but will
be an ever reminder of the big part
which they played in the school
activities during the 1925 school
year. 1t is a big Master clock, pur-
chased from the funds derived thru
the annual class play. at a cost
of more than a hundred dollars.
The instrument is equipped with a
system of bells which will announce
the assembly periods daily and
warn the students of the time for
recreation and study. 1t is a fine
piece of equipment and one which
the Cody High has been in need of
for some time. All credit to the

who conducts the general store at
that point, will be able to provide
food and lodging for a limited num-
Der of people. No travel will be
permitted on the roads of the park
before June list. and tourists should
arrange not to reach the park be
fore that date.
The damage caused by the fire at
Mampoth Hot Springs on March 80
has been repaired, 80 new busses
and trucks have been ordered to re-
place those destroyed, and every
thing will be in readiness for the
visiting public when thu first rail-
road visitor enters on June 18th.
There will be no hindrance what
ever of activities due to the fire.
The geysers are spouting as regular
ly as ever before, Norris Geyser
basin is more active than in former
years, the Canyon will present the
same awe-inspiring views, Yellow
stone lake will afford a most pleas
ing sight to the eye, new activities
will be observed on the terraces at
Mammoth hot springs and the bears
and other wild animals will afford
great interest and pleasure to those
interested in the wild life of the
park.
Every effort is being made to put
the highways approaching the park
in good condition for the heavy
travel they will receive this summer
and even at the present time the
approach roads to the north and
west entrances to the park are in
good condition. The roads in the
park will be cared for as soon as
they open up and everything pos
sible will be done to provide for
the Yellowstone visitor a most COM
Portable and pleasing trip.

DIPLOMAS PRESENTED TO THE
LARGEST CLASS IN HISTORY
OF SCHOOL-EDWIN DUNN
HONOR STUDENT

Dean j. H. Hamilton of Bozeman.
ment address to the graduating
of the Cody high school Friday eve
ming in the school auditorium. and
carried to the young folks who en-
tering upon a new and greater field
of endeaver some truths which if
adhered to, will do much to
straighten out the long and tor
tuous pathway of life.
Mr.. Hamilton is dean of the
school of boys at the agricultural
college of Bozeman and is much
interested in the youth. He has
devoted a great many years to
education, and talked from a life
full of experience. The large audi
forum was filled to capacity with
many standing, by those who at
tended the largest commencement of
the local high school.
The program was started with
THE End of the Song" class pro-
cessional, by Mrs. r. b. Hardin,
followed by a piano solo by Agnes
Ahlberg. member of the graduating
class. The girls glee club then
sang Spring" by Boutelle, and
merry Zingarellas." by Rockwell.
Hamilton was then introduced
by Supt. Hardin, and gave his talk.
the subject of which was What it
Means to be Educated" Ernest
Newton gave a very fine baritone
instrumental solo, "Till the Dawn
Comes Through"
To Edwin Dunn goes the highest
honors of the graduating class, he
having made an average of 92.66
yer a period of four years. Gunnar
Nelson second with an average of
91.69; Agnes Ahlberg third with
91.65 and lila Schwoob fourth with
91.22. All these averages, covering
a four-year period, are very fine, and
distinguishes the 1925 class as one
of the best in the history of Cody
High.
Howard F. Bell then made a short
talk to the graduating class and
presented the diplomas to Sam Os-
borne, John r. Darrah, E. Richard
Larson, Gunnar Nelson, Robert Will
son, Dorothy Siddle, Agnes Ahlberg,
Mildred Dempster, Joseph Lavender,

Edwin Dunn. Twenty-Five gradu-
ates were on the stage, Bessie
Ketchum and Ella Andren not ap-
pearing with the class, and Hazel
Young. who was unable to be
present at the commencement.
The class made a very pretty ap-
appearance as it took its place on
the stage in two half circles. each
carrying a bunch of pink and white
carnations, which were the compIi-
of DR.. C. j. Rhoads, who has
taken a great interest in the youth
of the high school, and for several
years has so honored the graduating
class.

Very gratifying reports are com
ing in from the scene of the Lake
view fiume break which occurred last
week, and authentic information is
to the effect that about 450 feet of
the high trestle work fiume went
out, with the low fiume still in SER
viceable condition. A part of the
fiume is to be rebuilt on a s~traighter
and lower grade, and a ditch will
be made to carry the water around
the hill, the entire cost of recon
struction not to exceed $4,000, or
an assessment of less than Csc to

CODY WILL HAVE FIVE
DAY C~HAUTAUQUA JULY

The Cadmean Chautauqua bureau
will send talent to Cody for a five
day c%hautauqua in July this year,
starting with July 18th, and con
tinuing until July 18th. The num-
bers, which will be advertised later,
are all high class attractions, and
should command a generous patron
age from the Cody people. The
Lions Club has been directly re-
sponsible for the booking of a
chautauqua in Cody this year, and
will have to receive the support of
the entire town if the project is a
success.
Cody has not signed a chautauqua
for several years. and each season.
when other towns were enjoying
the advantages of this high class
entertainment, the people of Cody
have been forced to make a motor
trip of several miles to attend, or
content themselves with the movies
class of show. Great care has been
taken to secur talent which will
please both young and old. A jun
ior ~chautauqua will be a part of
the program, when a boys and
girls entertainment will be staged
here for the entire week to see that
the Cody kiddies are not overlooked
in the scheme of entertainment. This
apartment, in former years, has
been very popular, and it goes with
out saying hat the Cody youngsters
will get much pleasure from the
auxiliary organization.
