and professional men at banquet at

During the entire day yesterday Mr..

farmers and business men, toured the
county and inspected large number
of farms and much farm land, and
Mr.. Dawson was pleased with the
natural dairy conditions existing in
the county and expressed himself, in
behalf of his company, that they
would erect plant here with a ca
pacity of handling 10000 gallons of
milk daily. He stated, however, that
his company would start operations
as soon as 1000 gallons of milk could
be obtained from the dairymen in this
section.
Commenting on the subject, he stat
ed that survey would be started i'm
mediately by the Garrett County Da-
Try committee working in conjunction
with the milk transportation division
of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, of
which Mr.. John P. Dugan is the gen.
eral agent.
about four months time will be
consumed before the actual operation
of the new shipping station begins"
stated J. L. McGlone, county agent,
this morning. "a survey of the pos
sibilities Of the increase in production
and other details will be completed a
short time after the Garrett county
Fair which will be held this month
from the goth to 23rd inclusive" con-
tinued Mr.. McGlone, "and some time
will be needed for the dairy barns to
be put into sanitary conditions to meet
the requirements of the Board of
Health of Washington"
Mr. McGlone advises the farmers
not to make their Improvements in
dividually, but rather apply to him
for the valuable service extended by
extension service of the University of
Maryland. He assures them that much
money can be saved the farmers of
the county if they follow the direc-
tons of the extension service.
A program for last nights affair
was prepared by the committee in
charge and was presented in an inter-
esting manner to the farmers and 9TH
ers present.
Included in the program was solo
by Miss Kay Stenholm, accompanied
by Miss Elizabeth Heath on the piano.
Both young ladies are instructors in
the Oakland High school. Speakers
for the occasion included County
Agent McGlone, DR.. J. c. Mcdowell,

Dairying; Mr.. Dodd, county agent for
Hardy county, West Va; DR.. w. B..
Burruss, Mr.. William R. Offutt, Mr.
John P. Dugan, Miss Keller, State
Demonstration agent, and Mr.. W. v.
Dawson.
Mr.. John P Dugan, in his address,
stated that he felt the additional ship
ping station would increase production
of milk in this section to the extent
that two stations could be supported
better than one has been in the past.
He admonished the Dairy Committee
to ever keep in mind that a debt was
owed the Oakland Creamery company
for their activity in the county in de-
veloping the county in dairying to the
extent it is now developed, and he
stated in order to repay such debt
that the milk needed by the new COM
pany should be procured by an in
crease in supply such as would give
to the present creamery even more
milk than it is now handling.
An added attraction to the evening
was the rendition of several selections
by the North Glade Band, and the
Oakland Quartette.
