REFoREsTATIoN NECESSARY

President Hoover. The Federal Farm
Board and Agricultural Authorities
have all agreed that to maintain farm
prices and make the farmer prosper
Gus that a great deal of the non-pro-
ducing agricultural lands should be
put back in forests
In the past years Charles County
has derived considerable revenue from
her forest products. 1t will not be a
great many years apparently until we
will be importing practically all our
building material.
There are in many farms in this
county land that it will not pay to
work in crops under the preset con-
ditions and which are now turned out
to scrub growth that farmers could
we'll afford to plant in fast growing
forest tree that will enhance the value
of his farm and in reasonable length
of time produce revenue. In addition
there are sometimes small odd shaped
fields hard to work that could be used
for forests paintings. Also many of
the fields now used might be squared
up and made more easily workable
by planting out the odd corners to
to forest trees.
The State Forestry Department is
equipped to furnish farmers Seeding
trees for forest and roadside planting
at cost. They say that about six dol
lars will plant an acre of loblolly pine
and some of the other fast growing
trees. ANY farmer that is interested
can secure the details and assistance
from the Forestry observation-disclosures
the County Agent. Paintings already
established in this county are on the
lands of J. J. Kemp, Welcome; Geo.
Stevenson, Bel Alton; and the Gla-
pelta Pulp and Paper Co. at Glymont.

TO PERMIT DOGS TO
RUN AT LARGE

We beg to call the attention of the
public to the law relative to dogs run
ming at large pursuing game which is
very detrimental to our game supply
and especially to rabbits during the
propagating season. A mother rabbit
does not have a chance to escape pur-
suing dog or dogs who catch and de-
stroy same, thereby destroying, in a
great many cases, the entire family
and the owners of dogs in this state
should realize that their cooperation
with this Department in keeping Their
dogs either under leash or confined,
March lst to September lst. will save
thousands OF pieces of game which
will assure an adequate supply in the
covers for their benefit the next hunt
ing season.
Paragraph F of Chatter 557, Acts of
1928, provides it to be unlawful for any
person to allow any dog or dogs be-
longing to them to run at large on
other property than that owned or
tenanted by them between March LIST
and September LIST and pursue game
or destroy the eggs or nests.
Any person harboring a dog or dogs
shall be termed the lawful owner of
same.
The penalty for violation is found
il Paragraph C of Section % of Chap
ter sos, Acts of 1927, and provides a
fine of not less than $500 nor more
than $4,000 and costs for each and
every offense and $500 additional for
each game bird or game animal caught
or killed illegally.
We would appreciate the co-opera-
ton of not only the sportsmen but the
general public in assisting us in the
enforcement OF this Act The Deputy
Game Wardens have been instructed
to strictly enforce this Act.

In adapting features of the domestic

construction of this Wesley Heights

The dwelling is constructed of local
granite, with half timbered effect in
the second story. The roof is of old
English tile shingles in the darker
shades of red, while the chimneys are
topped with brick of a character
