COUNTY AGENTS COLUMN.
Resident County Agent,
Oakland, Md.
J. H. CARTER,

Too many dairy bulls are disposed
of before their breeding values are
known, according to statistics fur
nished by the United States depart
ment of agriculture. A study has
just been made of the ages at which
proved" bulls were disposed of in one
state. No bulls disposed of for breed
ing purposes or for injury or other
natural causes, were included in the
study.
Of the 124 bulls studied SO or II
percent were disposed of before the
age of 5 years. One hundred and
seventeen, or about "a percent were
of before the age of 8 years.
Two bulls were kept until II years of
age and one bull IA years old.
Usually bull will be 5 years old
or older by the time he is proven.
The disposing of such large percen-
tage at an early age, or before their
true value can be ascertained by
means Of dam and daughter COMPARE
son, is one Of the big losses of the
dairy industry.

Mountain Lake Park Is Ideal Resort

! whom we deem it both an honor and
pleasure to convene, is Bishop War
rem, of the NJ E. church, who, after
serving his Master and his church
for 40 years as a missionary in India,
is here recuperating his health and
enjoying this excellent mountain air.
Bishop Warren was retired from ac-
tive work at the General Conference
which met in Kansas City, Mo-, in
1928, and as his health permits he ad-
dresses missionary conferences in diff
ferent parts of the country and is, as
he expressed it, kept busy declining to
make appointments which he is not
able to fill. Through his long service
Bishop Warren is thoroughly famil-
lar with conditions in India. He is a
personal friend of E. Stanley Jones,
and believes with him that while by
the patient work and sacrifcial lives
If generations of missionaries and In
dian Christians good foundation has
been laid for the new day" for In
dia, and the challenging situation
that is now confronting the churches,
Christian missions are yet but in their
beginnings in India and the work
there must be carried on for decades
and generations to come.
Bishop Warren is enthusiastic in
praise of the work being done by the
United Presbyterian church in India
and was interested when told that
several of the workers there are from
our home town of Canonsburg
Nine acres of beautiful grounds
surround this hotel and yet it is with
in easy walking distance Of the rail
road station, the amphitheatre, the
tennis courts and other places of
amusement, and entertainment. But
to the tired scribbler the most attrac-
tive place of all is comfortable place
in the sun on the broad veranda,
alternately dosing, enjoying the beau
tiful mountain scenery, and an occas-
ional chat with a friendly vacationist.

MT, LAKE PARK.

There seems to be a spirit of opti-
mism abroad concerning the future of
Mountain Lake Park and Oakland
Such a spirit has not prevailed for
the past two years, at least. 1t is
true that no one can lay his finger
on any tangible reason for the belief
that better times are coming. Of
course they voice the increased num-
Der of visitors to this section and the
number of tourists that have stopped
for few days or few hours stay
as the reason for their belief. An
other group points to the rumors that
there is some sort of a deal pending
looking to the change of ownership
of the Park and that such change
