TO HOLD SHORT COURSE
ON SOIL IMPROVEMENT
To Be Held at Accident High
School April % and %

A short course in soil improvement
will be given at Accident Monday and
Tuesday, April % and %, in the High
school building, according to John H.
Carter, county agent. F. W. Olden-
burg, agronomy specialist, University
of Maryland extension service, and
J. M. Snyder, soil specialist, will lee
ture to all those who attend.
Mr. Snyder will take up the kinds
of soils, the way they should be treat
ed, and what you may expect from
them; Mr.. Oldenburg will take up
the study of crops, yield, rotation, etc.
The first meeting will be held on Mon
day night and all who are interested
in soil in any way are invited to en-
ter the course. A tour over the farms
of that section will be made on Tues
day afternoon, and the concluding
meeting will be held Tuesday night.
Arrangements for this meeting
grew out of an interview between Mr..
Carter and Mr.. Oldenburg lastThurs-
day, who decided that the soil of Gar
rett county needed more soil improve
ment so as to produce higher quail
ty of roughage to cut down the grain
bill. More yield per acre, instead of
more acreage, was also discussed.

OWNER OF ROCK LODGE
PLANTING MANY TREES
Work of Setting 10000 Red Pine
Trees Now Under Way

The work of planting 10000 red
pine trees on the forest reserve of F.
F. Nicola, owner of Rock Lodge, near
Bittinger, is now under way, and will
in all probability be completed within
a short time, Carl E. Pfeiffer, assis-
tant State Forester in charge of the
work, announced Monday upon the &C.
casion of his visit to The Republican
office.
Ten thousand trees were planted
during the latter part of last week
under the supervision of Mr.. Pfeiffer,
who has sixteen men under him.
This work of reforestation has been
going on every year since 1921 on the
Rock Lodge reservation, and there are
now many acres of red pine, Norway
spruce, Scotch pine, white pine and
locust showing healthy growth.
Last year a similar number of red
pine trees were set out under the di-
rection of Mr. Pfeiffer on this land.
The trees will eventually cover the
mountain, which was swept by fire
several years ago. The plan is to put
into effect practical reformation as
worked out by the State Department
of Forestry.
The territory being reforested was
once covered by the finest and largest
growth of native white pine in Mary
land, the tract being known as "The
Rights of Man" The timber was
cut many years ago and manufactured
into lumber by saw milling concern
operating large plant near Friends
vile, the logs being transported to the
mill by tramroads.

MAY DAY TO BE KNOWN
AS PLAY DAY IN COUNTY
Herbert Hoover Has Issued
Proclamation Inviting Orga-
nizatiOns to Help Childhood

May Day, which is to be observed
in Garrett county schools on May l.,
will be known also as play day this
year, Miss Rhesa M. King, public
health nurse, stated. May Day will
be a play day because the keynote Of
the celebration will be proper recrea-
ton is a Fundamental of a health
program,
Herbert Hoover, president of the
United States, believing that the ma
tons future rests with children of
today, and that good health is funda-
mental to national welfare, and hav-
ing been authorized by Congress, has
issued a proclamation designating
May l as Child Health Day, and he
invites all organizations to assist in
bringing a nationwide understanding
of the significance of healthy child
hood and the importance of conserv-
ing it.
The reason for a play day was eX-
planned by Miss King. eve live in
a machine age, in other words in an
age of diminishing necessary physical
activities. Automobiles make walk
ing less and less essential. Washing
machines and vacuum cleaners re-
duce the amount Of muscle effort re-
orirad of tho housewife
Everything from ditching ma
chimes to electric saws tend to elimi-
nate muscular effort from construc-
ton projects while devices ranging
from tractors to milking machines
have shortened the day and made
them dry the brow of him who tills
the soil. And the end is not yet.
Scientists picture a future when even
the most lowly of laborers will in re-
atty be a boss, directing machines to
do his will.
No Substitute for Exercise
"But nobody has yet discovered a
substitute for physical exercise from
the health standpoint. Maybe the pro
cess of evolution will do that in time,
but nothing in sight warrants such a
belief. The human body simply does
not furction right unless it INDUCES
in some physical exertion.
"Thus play seems to be the newt
able answer to the health problem,
In teaching children to enjoy play one
simply introduces happy system of
promoting exercise essential to health
and means of absorbing pleasantly
the leisure of the increasing numbers
who have it. Play has other values
too, such as the promotion of team
work, fairmindedness, sociability and
the like.
"For these reasons May Day has
come to be Child Health Day in the
United States and the State depart
ment of public health believes that
it is a great thing and therefore urges
all to help make May wonderful
Play Day."
