Will Make Plans
For Extension Work

Instead of the usual agricultural
extension conference which is held
each winter at State College, a series
of nine sectional conferences will be
held in December and January to
which prominent farmers and educa-
tors will be invited.
"This new plan of extension meet
ing will seek to develop programs of
agricultural advancement by sections
and will aid the college workers in de-
termining the needs of each section
and work to that end" says Dean I.
O. Schaub in announcing the new
type of conference. Each county
home and farm agent will attend the
conference for his community and
will invite at least two good farmers
and two leading farm women from
each county to participate in the dis
cussions. We shall have a representa-
tive present from each of the depart
ments in the school of agriculture at
State College and especially will we
discuss the outlook for 1882. After
that, committees will be organized to
pass upon recommendations for the
coming year. These committee reports
will be fully discussed before adop-
ton"

games, and finish the season with
seven wins, one tie, and two losses.

the backfield has improved in the last
two games and the "Bears" will be
given ample opportunity to stop a
fast ofense in the Turkey day game.
Joe ~Schlenger, quarterback, will not
be able to play in the Lenoir- Rhyme
game because he failed to enter school
early enoug to be eligible for con-
ference football. Wilmer will no doubt

game.

will be sessions the first three days.

DELAYS Start


Just when everything seemed
so promising for the early i'm

ner-Port Deposit road, one of
the most used in this end Of the
county, along comes the fly to
get in the ointment, when GER
tain property owners along the
road refuse to give right of way
that would permit the taking of
kinks and bumps out of it be-
fore the laying of concrete on
the roadway.
The situation is a serious
one, as the failure to obtain
right of ways may mean a de-
lay of months, or failure to
build the road this year.
1t is the desire of the State
Roads Commission and the
County authorities that the
matter of right of ways be ad-
jused satisfactorily to all con-
cerned, so that the road con-
struction can be commenced at
once.
