SERIES OF FOREST PLANT
INGS is BEGUN IN GARRETT
Four Thousand Trees Being Set
Out on Brier Ridge.

Four thousand trees are being
planted on Brier Ridge, near Swallow
Falls, in Garrett couny, which marks
the beginning of series of paintings
by the State Forestry Department ac-
cording to H. C. Buckingham, district
forester, in charge of the work. Two
thousand trees of all kinds are being
planted in open fields and two thous-
and are being used for experimental
purposes.
The two thousand trees for expert
mental purposes are being planted be-
meath thorn bushes to ascertain
whether or not they can overcome the
hardships. The thornbushes, Mr..
Buckingham stated, will be subject
to a poisonous preparation which
should kill them.
"The forestry program for the last
two years has laid special emphasis
upon the need of. State forests" he
said. Cup to year ago the total area
of State forests was little less than
5000 acres. This past year, however,
5000 acres was added and the Legis-
lature of 1929 has made available the
sum of $4,000 for the next two years
for further purchase of land for State
forests. While this is small amount
compared with the present needs, it is
a real beginning, and places Maryland
in line with the more progressive
states to the north of us which have
definite forest acquisition programs"
The erection of lookout tower on
Dams Rock, which was under Mr..
Buckingham's charge, has been COM
pleted. This is one of the highest
points in Allegany county, near Mid
land, and forests can be observed in
all of that section and in parts of
West Virginia. A. L. Sines, district
forest warden, was in charge of the
masonry work at this tower.
In connection with cooperation from
other states, Mr.. Buckingham stated
that Pennsylvania had been showing
fine courtesy along the northern bor-
der of Garrett county.

CALVES PURCHASED FOR
COUNTY PROJECT WORK
Members of Agriculture and All
Clubs to Have Charge

Seven Guernsey calves, for project
work among members of the Agricul-
ture club of Oakland High school and
All clubs of this section, were pur-
chased last weekend by Carl Frazee,
C. F. Kelly, @. 7. eraser, instructor
in agriculture, and John H. Carter,
county agent, who made a trip to
Lancaster, Pa, for that purpose.
The theory taught in vocational
agriculture in the high school and the
principles learned in All club work
will be practiced on these calves, and
their development will be noted care
fully.
Those who have undertaken the
project are Allen Kelly, Wayne Ham
ilton, Wilbur Hollar, Hagan Frazee,
and two younger brothers, all sons
of Mr.. and Mrs. Carl Frazee; and
Paul Frazee, Jr. The calves will be
brought to Oakland this weekend by
truck. Carl Frazee also purchased d
COW while visiting the farms in that
section.
Many farms We're visited on the
trip. The party met Charles Carey,
supervisor of vocational agriculture
of the schools surrounding Lancaster;
visited Woodside farms, managed by
S. N. Root, and known far and wide
for it's cattle; saw about 20 imported
cattle from the islands; and three
animals that will go to the National
Dairy show. Some excellent bulls
were seen, the dam of one of them
producing 900 pounds of butter fat
per year. When the average COW in
Garrett county produces less than 200
pounds, the advantage of having good
cattle can readily be seen, it was
stated.
Some of the milk from the herds
visited retailed in Lancaster and vi
cinity at 20 cents per quart. 1t con-
tanned only $500 bacterial counts per
cubic centimeter, Mr.. eraser stated
Four of the calves were purchased
from Jacob Rohrer; one from H. H.
Snavely; and two from H. L. Mumma

HIGH SCHOOL OFFICIAL TO
FIGHT AGAINST REMOVAL
j. Edward Ford, Former Princi-
pal of Grantsville School, Says
He has Counsel and Will Fight

j. Edward Ford, who, according to
County Superintendent F. E. Rath-
bun, has seen transferred from the
principalship C. the Grantsville high
school, declared last Saturday upon
the occasion of his visit to Oakland
that he had retained counsel here and
intended to Garry the case to the
limit"
In a letter sent The Baltimore Sun,
Mr.. Ford charged his former assis-
tants with INSTRUMENTATION and de-
clared that according to rumor his
former aids at the school had "delib-
erately plotted an instruction" among
the pupils after the two had refused
to recognize his authority.
Still Has Post, His Claim
He also has said that he had not
resigned nor been transferred. Su-
perintendent Rathbun contends that
he, as superintendent, has the right
to remove principals under him and
that he wrote Mr.. Ford several days
ago informing him that he had been
transferred from Grantsville to Tur-
ner, where he was to be principal of
an elementary school. Since Mr.. Ford
declined to accept the principalship of
Turner school, that school has been
closed and the pupils are now being
transported by bus to the Grantsville
school.
Superintendent Rathbun is author
ity also for the statement that the
communication had been returned by
Mr.. Ford and bore a notation to the
effect that the high school principal
declined to accept the transfer. This
means, Mr.. Rathbun said, that Mr..
Ford does not now have a school posi-
ton under the county system.
Superintendent Cook in Grantsville
Albert S. Cook, State Superintend-
ent of Education, was in Grantsville
on Tuesday and conferred with Mr.,
Rathbun. Later he said he agreed
'one hundred per cent with the atti-
tude Mr.. Rathbun has taken in the
matter"
The situation causing Mr.. Ford's re-
moval is said to have been caused by
disagreements between him and his
assistant teachers. The exact nature
of the trouble, or its cause, has not
been made public officially.

any need, and with the addition of the
new combination pumper truck, Oak
lands volunteer fire fighters are ready
to subdue the most serious blaze at
short notice, Mr.. George Kerins, fire
chief, stated.
Chemical Truck to Remain in City
''The chemical truck will not go to
fires outside the vicinity of Oakland
hereafter" Mr.. Kerins said. The new
pumper truck will be able to take care
of any needs, where no water CON
nections are available, and the chemi-
cal truck will be retained in Oakland
for any emergency that might arise
during the absence of the pumper."
The cost of the new machine will
be distributed over a period of six
years and will be paid for by the fire
department from it's funds.

record during the preceding year."

WITH PARADE AND TALKS.
Several Thousand Witness Cele-
bration Sunday-Hughes and

iastic meeting in the Maryland thea
tire, inaugurated the celebration Of
Boys Week in Oakland on Sunday
afternoon, people from Garrett coun-
ty, Md, and Terra Alta and King
wood, Preston. county, W. Va, con-
tributing largely to its success.

Band, Oakland Troop of Boy Scouts,
a number of local boys, Gilbert-Brown
Boys Band, and the Oakland Rotary
club A number of Kingwood Rotar-

Speakers Hold Audience
Both speakers of the occasion held
the attention of the audience for the
short time which they filled on the
program. Judge A. G. Hughes, of the
Circuit Court for Preston county,
stressed the enforcement Of the laws
of the United States, and much great
er respect for them. He urged the
boys to grow up with these thoughts
in mind.
F. Roy Yoke, alumni secretary for
West Virginia University, brought out
four points r. the boys present.
These were: 1. To find what you like
to do and do it; 2. To learn to do a
number of things you dislike so that
it will prepare you better for the
things you do like; 8. Be prepared SO
that when your chance comes, you
will be ready for it; and 4. Stick +
your job These four points were il
Illustrated by striking personal eXper-
fences of Mr.. Yoke during his school
teaching days, and held the attention
of the boys to the end of his talk.
The Kingwood Boy Scouts were
presented with baseball glove, ball
and bat, for having the largest group
of boys from out of town in the pa
rade. The presentation was made by
Joseph E. Harmed, Oakland Rotary
club president, who spoke few words
of greeting.
This closed the opening day cele-
bration. Monday and Tuesday were
known as days in school, and members
of the Oakland Rotary club visited
schools at Oakland, Grantsville, Acct
dent, Kempton, Crellin, Friendsville,
and Kitzmiller, and gave short talks

boys evening at home, when parents
were asked to have something special
