TREE PLANTING ACTIVITY
IN COUNTY BEGINS SOON
State to Plant $4,000 at Her
ringtOn Manor, near Oakland

The planting of approximately 25,-
900 trees on the State forest reserve
at Harrington Manor, about five miles
west of Oakland, will be taken up by
members of the department within the
next two or three weeks, according to
H. C. Buckingham, district forester,
who is spending several days of this
week in Garrett county.
Among the $4,000 will be 5000 red
pine, 1000 white pine, 1000 spruce,
1000 chestnut, and the balance in
miscellaneous species. The chestnut
trees will be planted as an expert
ment. They are from Japan and are
said to withstand the blight that is
killing the American chestnut trees,
and the wood is said to be better
grade. Some of the trees were plan
ted last spring, but frost in August
and the extreme dry weather of the
late summer and fall caused most of
them to die.
The Civic club of Oakland has de-
cided to continue its tree planting
project on Harrington Manor. This
work will be done by the local troop
of Boy Scouts on April 25.. Last
year approximately 1000 trees were
planted by the scouts.
A tract of 1900 acres, known as
"Piney", between GAINESVILLE and
Swallow Falls, is now being surveyed
by C. M. Sincell. A. L. Sines, district
warden, is representing the State in
the work, which is expected to be
completed in about two weeks. The
tract just recently purchased on Back
bone mountain consisting of 5000
acres, will be surveyed in the near
future, Mr.. Buckingham stated.
The district forester cautioned peo-
pie about setting fire to brush piles,
"The ground is still extremely dry in
spite of the rains" he stated, "and
much care must be taken in burning
brush piles.

COUNTY AGENT ADVISES
IMPROVING PRACTICES
More Careful Survey of Farm
Management Must Be Made to
Compete in Industry
WILL DISCUSS PROBLEMS

With a low cost of production and
improved quality of produce necessary
for the realization of any profit for
the farmers, John H. Carter, county
agent, pointed out the advisability of
improving practices during the COM
ing year, in an interview with The
Republican yesterday.
Farmers individually and collec-
lively must make more careful sur
vey of their farm management layout
in order to successfully compete in
all branches of the industry" he en-
phasized.
Indications are that agricultural
prices will continue at a low level for
some time, and therefore producers
will have plenty of time to adopt i'm
proved practices before relief will
come"
He continued: "Now is the best
time the dairyman has had in years
to Gull his dairy herds and feed
properly. Follow the Healthy Grow
Chick Program which has shown con-
clusively that broilers and pullets can
be produced at lower cost if all
practices recommended are followed.
"Lambs and wool are likely to sell
for less than last year. The man who
produces quality will be the man
whose lambs and wool are the most
attractive to buyers. Lambs should
be marketed young and fat. There
fore, it is necessary that they be fed
grain just as soon as they will eat.
Treat sheep for stomach worms,
castrate and dock your lambs.
"Treat farm seeds for diseases be-
fore planting time and money will be
the reward at harvest time. I will
be glad to discuss any problem with
any farmer who will get in touch
with me at my Office" Mr.. Carter
concluded.

MAPLE SUGAR PRODUCERS
ENJOY SUCCESSFUL YEAR
Fifteen Producers of Maple
Products Association Have Yield
Federal-State Inspected
SEASON ABOVE AVERAGE

The Garrett County Maple Products
association has just closed its second
year operations successfully, accord.
/ ing to John H. Carter, county agent
as well as the season for the other
producers in the maple sugar and
syrup industry in Garrett county.
Some difficulties were encountered
at the beginning of the season in es-
tablishing trade name, Mr.. Carter
stated. The Cary Maple Sugar COM
pany of Vermont filed an official pro-
test at the Patent Office, Washington
D. c., against the Garrett county pro-
ducers using the name of Highland
on their labels, and after an investi-
cation the association decided to
change it's trade name to "Crest o.
The Alleghanies."
Members of the association are
marketing their products under the
trade name "Crest o. The Alleghan-
ies," and "Altamont Grove" The
association has total of Is members
who applied for inspection of Federal
and State authorities and had a total
of 2,148 gallons of syrup inspected
and labeled.
Syrup this year was above the
average in quantity and quality, Mr.,
Carter stated. Of the 2,149 gallons
inspected 1882 gallon cans were Ia
beled Maryland Fancy" 305 half
gallon cans labeled maryland Fan
Cyl, 285 gallon cans and 81 gallon
cans labeled maryland Prime, and
1888 gallon cans labeled Maryland
Standard" Six hundred gallons of
syrup was inspected in drums and
passed as Fancy but was not labeled
because of the lack of sale.
The association is making special
effort to develop market for all syrup
that was labeled.
It is estimated that there are over
120 maple syrup producers in the
county, practically all of whom exper-
fenced a season which was average or
above.
The Garrett County Maple Products
association was organized in Deem
Der, 1929, with the assistance of the
Maryland department of forestry and
the University of Maryland extension
service, and was formed for the pur-
pose of encouraging production of a
better quality of products and aiding
the producers to find better market.

FIREMEN KEPT BUSY BY
5 ALARMS IN "a HOURS
Storage Building and Contents
Destroyed at Crellin

With five fire alarms within less
than twenty-four hours, the Oakland
Volunteer fire department was kept
busy on Monday afternoon and even
ing and Tuesday morning in subduing
brush and grass fires, and flames
which destroyed a storage house at
Crellin.
A storage house, ID x 20 feet, in
rear of P. X. Adams garage at Crel-
lin, with it's contents, was destroyed
by fire on Monday afternoon. It was
thought the building caught from
burning brush, or from sparks from
an engine. BY the time the Oakland
Fire department had arrived the
building was enveloped in flames and
it was impossible to save it, but the
garage and other nearby buildings
were not damaged. The building
contained 10 rolls of roofing, about
two thousand feet of lumber, garage
tools and automobile accessories.
Mr.. Adams had recently rented his
garage room to Clyde Mersing, and
had stored his goods in the building
which burned.
The brush fires occurred at the top
of Columbia Hill, Mt. Lake Park;
near the Deer Park hotel, and on the
Paul Mitchell property, about one
half mile north of town along the
State highway.
They had got beyond control OF
those who were burning the dry
leaves and brush, and it was some
time before the one at Deer Park and
the one at Mitchell's were subdued.
After putting out the fire at Deer
Park in the afternoon the department
answered another call in the evening
for the same place. The Mt. Lake
brush fire occurred at one o'clock on
Monday, while the one north of town
occurred Tuesday morning about 10
o'clock.
The department answered another
alarm this morning at 11:30 when a
brush fire got beyond control in the
field in rear of w. R. Offutt's home
on Second street.
