STATE DAIRY PRODUCTS
B. AND @. SPECIAL TRAIN
A Real Dairy Show and College
on Wheels to Visit Oakland
Monday Morning, Nov. Is

The entire population and particu-
larly the farmers of Garrett county
will have an opportunity witness one
of the most complete dairy demon
strations ever carried on in this sec
ton of the State. The date of this
affair IS Monday, November 10Th,
starting at s o'clock in the morning.
At this time a special train known
as the Maryland Dairy Products
Special, operated by the B. & O. r. r.,
in cooperation with County Agent
| Work of the University of Maryland
and the various breed associations will
be at the local Railroad station for
the purpose of demonstrating better
dairy practices to the people of Gar
rett county. This is the first oppor-
tunity the local people have ever had
to witness such an affair. The train
will have its own engine and crew
with CT 10 cars attached. One of
! these cars is an exhibit car in which
will be a large educational exhibit
furnished by the National Dairy
Council. This will be Of interest to
all but especially the young folks as
its purpose is to show the value of
milk and dairy products for food and
to encourage the more general use of
such among the children. Another car
is the lecture car in which there will
be an instructive lecture by promi-
nent dairy authority entitled Scrubs
VS.. Purebreds." This will be Of par
ticular interest to the farmers. Still
another car is the demonstration car
on which there will be cow demonstra-
tions by representatives. of the
National Breeders Association. This
alone is worth seeing.
In live stock cars connected with the
train will probably be the best show
ing of bulls ever witnessed by anyone
in the county. Bulls from all of the
dairy breeds will be on the train.
These animals will all be from tested
dams with high producing records and
will vary in ages. They will be for
sale. Anyone interested in purchas-
ing a good sire for the herd can locate
splendid individual on the train.
These animals will be sold at private
sales only.
While the demonstrations and lee
lures are going on at the train there
will also be a lecture at the High
School by Professor Happy" Gold
smith, nationally known humorist ora
tor, VINO will talk on Eyes, We are
Cowllegiate." At the same time Miss
Elsie Stark, of the National Dairy
Council, will talk in the Court House
to the women on proper Foods for
Health" 1t is urged that every wo-
man hear Miss Stark.
Every bona fde farmer, actually
operating farm who visits the dem
onstration will be allowed to register
at the train After the entire pro-
gram is completed, the registration
cards will be thrown into box and a
disinterested person will then be
asked to draw out card. The farmer
| having the lucky number will secure
free, a purebred heifer of his own
choice. This gift heifer is an added
attraction and has been made posi-
BILE by the wonderful cooperation of
the business men of Oakland. They
have appropriated $4,000 for the
purchase of the animal.
| Any one of these features will be
worth coming to witness. Nearby
schools will be asked to come in a
body. Every farmer should plan now
to see the cattle exhibit and hear the
! lectures and the women will certainly
miss something if they no not hear
Miss Stark.
Other announcements in regard to
the train will appear in The Republi-
can in a later issue.
