TURKS TAKE UP SPORTS
OF WEST ON BIG SCALE
Private Clubs Worried by Ministry
Ruling Barring Secondary School
Pupils as Members.

STEAMBOAT (N.A.NA,) - Culture
pursues its Western way and Anglo
saxon games like foot ball, boxing and
nautical sports have taken the place
once occupied by the national ones:
Sporting organizations are to be created
in all secondary schools and compete
tive encounters are to take place at the
end of every year with view to
championship of Turkey.
But the Turkish ministry OF edu-
cation has decided that pupils of sec
ondary schools shall no longer be al
lowed to enter any kind of sporting
club and the private sporting clubs are
very much afraid that the withdrawal
of the6r younger members will weaken
them uncomfortably for some years to
come. They visualize a long period
ahead in which they will not be able to
continue their usual matches with
Central European and Balkan teams.
Sport under government control is
very much on trial and the results of
its Westernizing are so far dispropor-
tionate to the high physical qualities
of the Turk.

GARRETT MAPLEPRODUCTS
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Over 1900 Gallons Fancy Grade
Syrup Offered During Last Year

Extending Federal and State In
spection to all grades of maple syrup
as we'll as cake sugar, will be reality
in Maryland during the spring of
1881, according to plans adopted re-
Gently at the annual meeting of the
Garrett County Maple Products Asso-
citation.
The meeting, which, was held in
Oakland, was well attended and ar
engagements are being made by J. H.
Carter, County Agent for Garrett
county, and F. B. Trenk, Forestry
specialist for the University of Mary
land Extension Service, to have this
service carried on. by the State De-
partment of Markets. IL -.
During the past spring, according
to Mr.. Trenk, 1886 gallons of syrup
passed as fancy or prime and were
offered for sale under the trade name
"Crest O. the Highlands. In the
future it is planned to extend the in
spection service to darker grades of
syrup, and to all sugar cakes of a
standard size. By SO doing, it is be-
Iieved that the mail order trade, now
enjoyed by many. members of the
Association, can be greatly improved.
At the meeting it was decided to
adopt the use of half-gallon contain
ers to a greater extent in the future;
to open one or more roadside markets
to effect larger local sale of syrup;
and to adopt trade name under
which the lower grades of pure syrup
could be sold.
Mr.. Trenk announces that the
Patent Office has finally approved
the application of the Association for
trade mark rights.
At the annual meeting County
Agent Carter read sections of letters
received from persons in distant
states interested in the "Crest o. the
Highlands" syrup. He pointed out
that these letters indicated the wide
publicity the Association has received
during the first year Of operation.

Selection of Boar

The selection of a boar to head
herd of pork producers is as i'm
portant as the selection of one to
head a pure-bred herd, though per-
haps not so difficult. The man
who has built up a high-class pure
bred herd often finds it quite a
task to secure a sire that will still
further improve his stock. The
task is usually not quite so difficult
for the pork producer, yet he should
never overlook the fact that the
"sire is half the herd"

full fed on pasture the total amount
Of grain required to produce 100
pounds of pork is less than where
the hogs are fed on a limited grain
