New Short Route Map Issued

The "Short Route, which passes
through Oakland joining the North
western Turnpike with the National
Highway over Route 81, is apparently
receiving more publicity than any
other national route at this time. A
new photographic map, 10 by "a inches
has just been issued and shows ever
teal scale" with elevations Of noun
tains, descriptions of points Of inter
est, number of curves, railroad cross
ings and mileage from center of town
to center of town.
Almost a quarter million of these
Short Route road maps will be dis
tributed this year, copies of which may
be had at the Chamber of Commerce,
Marietta, Ohio.

A grain mixture for cows on good
pasture as a rule need not have as
high a percentage of protein as the
winter ration. The two following
grain mixtures for supplementing
pasture, without other rOughage, are
recommended by the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture: Ground oats,
100 pounds, wheat bran, 100 pounds,
and corn meal, so pounds; Or wheat
bran, 100 pounds, corn meal, 100
pounds, and cotton seed meal 25
pounds.
There are five basic factors which
have a material bearing on whether
YOU produce profitable wheat crop
in 1880.
They are:
1. Preparation of seed bed for
wheat.
2. Selection of variety and seed to
be sown.
3. Selection and application of
fertilizer.
a. Weather condition during grow
ing season.
5. Market condition at time of
selling your crop.
The first three Of these factors,
producers have under their control.
1t is accepted among all good farm
ers that one of the most imnortant
factors in producing any crOp is the
preparation of seed bed. A few hours
spent in preparing a good seed bed
means bushels of gram at harvest
/ time.
Selection of seed is important. If
your seed is not free from disease
and forage matter you cannot expect
to harvest a full crop at bsrn>t time.

MT. LAKE PARK.
Observation-Disclosures

1t is interesting to note the more or
less optimistic attitude of our citizens
relative to the future Of the Park.
For many years there has been feel
ing that it would be useless to at
tempt to stage a ''come-back" Of this
resort. We were not alone in that
view, as similar resorts all over the
country suffered a slump in patron
age. This was due both to economic
conditions and to the changing times
Formerly those desiring to spend a
vacation rented cottages and prepared
to spend the heated months in the
place selected for that purpose. Now
it is different. Desire for change of
environment coupled with an increas-
ing spirit of restlessness on the part
of vacationists prompts them to
spend a day or so at this resort and
few days at another. This is easily
accomplished by the use of the auto
mobile.
Up until now we have been depend
ing upon the old method to attract
summer visitors, promising little save
a desirable climate, pure air and
water This is not enough. Other
communities and other states are ad-
vertising to the tourist world the
scenic beauty Of their several locaIi-
ties. In the latter respect we are on
a par with all and hold distinct ad-
vantage over most of the surrounding
states. Western Maryland is in a
class by itself and it only remains for
US to develop what nature has be-
slowed upon us to lead the eastern
section Of our country as a mecca for
vacationists.

roughS machine bookkeeping and
bankposting, as we'll as all other
business courses. All instructors in
the college are experts in their lines

practical business field for years.
On account of the very thorough
courses taught by this school the
graduated pupils are very much in
demand by the banks, leading ship
perS and other large firms Up and
down the Valley.
Mr.. Brown came to the Valley
from Central Texas. He is a boost
er for the Lower Rio Grande Valley
and has staked his fortunes with
its future growth.
He has set the standards of his
institution high and for this reason
is drawing students with high school
education and in many instances
young men and women with from
one to two years in one of our state
institutions of higher learning.

brought in by the trawlers.
Eight boats are now engaged in
trawling in the open Gulf, and daily
catches running as high as 5000
pounds have been made by the in

largest on the Gulf coast, accord
ing to experienced traWlers who
have operated on the upper coast

LATIN TRADE
MEET SUBJECT
Development Of Exports To
Be Discussed BY Conven-
ton AT Baltimore

BALTIMORE, April 1.-(P-Fur.
ther development of the export
trade with Latin America will be
the chief topic to confront the six
teenth annual convention of the
National Foreign Trade council.
This convention will be here April
17-19 and is expected to attract
upwards of 1000 delegates.
The meeting will mark the first
assembly of local foreign trade
councils, export managers associa-
tions and similar groups. Steps
will be taken toward national col
liberation of these smaller organl-
cations.
Merchandising sessions will be
instituted and informal meetings
will permit the presentation OF
economic problems confronting the
exporter. One feature will be the
demonstration of modern methods
of international communication.
Gable, telegraph, telephone, radio
and wireless hookups will be ar
ranged for actual demonstration
before the delegates.
James A. Farrell. president, IN
summoning delegates to the meet
ing says:
THE foreign trade of the United
States for 1923 showed continual
development" he declares. The
value was more than SO, 1000, 900 900.
Manufactured products rose to 10
per cent of this total. Of the raw
material, which comprises the 9TH
er 80 per cent, cotton supplied
two-thirds of the value. This de-

CANADA GRAIN E
ON r RAIL LINE

WINNIPEG, April 1.-(R)-The
Hudson's Bay railway, now being
constructed by the Canadian gov
eminent, will shorten effectively the
distance between the grain fields
of Western Canada and the mar
ketS of Europe.
From Saskatoon to Liverpool via
the Great Lakes and st. Lawrence
the distance Of 4,878 miles, but by
the new railroad to Churchill it is
only 3.783 miles. 1t is 1924 miles
from Edmonton to Liverpool by
way of the st. Lawrence and only
4,182 miles by rail to Churchill.
The shorter haul, and conSe-
ouently lower costs and quicker de-
livery, is expected to give Canadian
wheat farmers an advantage in the
world market.
