COUNTY MAY HAVE TWO
POTATO CLUB PROJECTS
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad to
Sponsor Two Clubs this Year

That there would be two potato
clubs in Garrett county this year, in
stead of the usual one, was the an
nouncement made yesterday by John
H. Carter, county agent. This will
give twenty boys in the county the
advantage of receiving certified pota-
to seed for project work.
1t has been the custom of the Balti-
more and Ohio railroad to sponsor
a Certified Potato Seed club in a num-
Der of counties of the State in con-
nection with the University of Mary
land extension service, and last year
the privilege went to members of the
agriculture class of Oakland High
school.
The railway company furnishes
each of the boys with five bushels Of
certified seed potatoes which are to
be planted on measured quarter
acre of ground. Members of the club
are expected to attend stated meet
ings under the direction of the lead
er and study potato culture.
Since it is desired that the potato
clubs rotate each year, Grantsville,
Friendsville, or Accident High schools
will have the first chance of accept
ing the project. Selection of the
members of the two clubs will be
made in short time, it was stated.
