Mr.. Kimble reported for the
speakers committee that in addition
to Mr.. McSparran they had already
secured William " Dennis and Mrs.
Mao and had a prospect of possibly
two other speakers. We were as
sured by our President that Mr.,
Dennis would have a message for
the crowd that it would be worth
our while to go miles to hear. We
know Mr. McSparran and are very
sure the day spent at Port Deposit
on August 8th will be remembered.
He also announced that he had ar
offer from the Barnes Orchestra
we'll known in the upper part OF the
county and also by their Radio Com
certs from Pittsburgh, to furnish
music for the occasion. The Coun
Gil favored inviting them to en-
terrain.
Mr.. Kimble also suggested the
possibility of bringing up resolu-
lions to be acted on at the meeting,
citing past occasions when such
action taken by that group and by
other groups had been the means OF
starting things worth while. He
mentioned the tax question as one
which was OF vital interest to tho
farmers at the present time and
some discussion OF the subject
followed.
The following committe was ap-
pointed to bring up resolutions to be
passed upon at that meeting
H. Kimble, Henry Mccullough,
David B. Mcdowell.
Mr.. Bartelson being called on
spoke of the very full summer he
had in prospect and urged the CO.
operation OF the farmers in the
county to make some special projects
really measure up to what they
should be. One thing that he mem
toned specially was QUESTIONABLE to
be sent out to large list OF far
Amers in regard to the live stock con-
dition in the county and urged that
people take the 5 to 10 minutes
needed to answer the questions so
that the office can have a worth
while record and information often
very useful to all parties concerned
The Show question remains very
much as at last meeting with the
prospect that some OF the local
groups will combine at Calvert
while others will probably hold
separate shows. The time hardly
seems ripe for County Show this
year.
A motion was made to pay Mr..
Mcdowell expenses in attending the
meeting last spring as our delegate
to Cambridge. The bill was not on
hand but the treasurer assured us
there were funds available for the
