HOLLY AND OTHER GREENS
CAN BECOME MARKETABLE
Christmas Business Could Be
Built Up, Says State Forester

"Holly, especially that with berries,
is the most priced of our Christmas
green's" says F. W. Besley, state for
ester. at does not grow in the North
where it is much in demand so there is
good market for it if properly
gathered and handled"
There is no reason, says the State
Forester, why good Christmas bus
mess cannot be built up by farmers
and other landowners who have large
quantities of holly and other greens
growing in the woods.
A letter received by Mr.. Besley last
week from a northern dealer is to the
point:
"Do you know of anyone in Mary
land who is harvesting holly system
atically? All we are able to get up
here is what is broken off any way
to get it, regardless of the future
crop.
eff you could find anyone who is
harvesting holly is a neat, system
attic way so as to insure the future
crop, we should be glad to trade with
him. The way the bushes and trees
are broken down and smashed exas-
perates US.
eve believe that the Christmas
greens industry should be handled the
same as growing any other crop, and
it goes against the grain to have to
buy from people who have no regard
for the future Of the industry"
The holly business alone would be
worth many thousands Of dollars to
the landowners of the State if con-
Quoted properly, it is said. Two things
are required: First, stop vandalism
by enforcing the law against trespas-
sers lit is a misdemenaor punishable
by fine or Imprisonment to take holly
or other greens from the property of
another), and secondly, cut with pru-
ners the ends of the twigs and branch
es without mutilating The tree. This
will insure succeeding crops and make
the business permanent.

SAVAGE RIVER GROUP TO
SELL HUNTING PRIVILEGES
Organization Has Jurisdiction
Over 1000 Acres of Forest Land

The Savage River Fish and Game
Protective Association, organized five
years ago for the purpose of stocking
streams with fish, protecting game
and averting forest fires over 1000
acres of land in Garrett county, is
now making arrangements to sell
hunting privileges on the tract during
the season which opens November Is
and continues until December 81.
The area mentioned is said to be
rich in stock of rabbits, squirrels, wild
turkeys and pheasants and a few wild
deer.
1t is said that seventeen deer were
turned out on the Deep Greek reserve
in Garrett county one year ago. The
game migrated from the reserve to
Jonas Broadwater's farm, on the Saw
age River valley where they bred last
may.
Elmer Green, game warden in Gar
rett county, reports the area also is
plentiful in pheasants.
The idea of selling hunting and
shooting privileges is chiefly to raise
money to pay expenses incurred in
stocking streams and fighting fires
and protecting game for Maryland
sportsmen.
Efforts in fire fighting resulted in
confirming ten different fires in the past
season to less than $50 acres out of
the 1000 acres, it is avered.
The streams are said to be filled
with rainbow and brook trout and
have been protected by the organiza-
ton.
The officers of the association are:
Raymond Beeman, president; j. O..
Wilhelm, vice president, and Elmer
Green, secretary and treasurer. The
latter officer is also a district game
warden and Waterman over the above
mentioned tract.
Members of the association are:
Orval Stark, Avilton; Thomas Weir,
Homecoming; Joseph Green, Charles A.
Green, east side of Savage Mountain;
John Clark, West side of Savage
Mountain; Clarence Green, Samuel
Warwick, Mrs. David Warwick, Jonas

GARNER PUTS BAN
ON POLITICS TRUCE
House Democrats Will Vote
Only on Bills Merits, Not to
Aid or BaIk Hoover.
By the Associated Press.

Democrats in the House Of Repre-
sentatives, constituting a majority,
stand recorded as intending neither to
condemn automatically nor sanctify
automatically White House proposals.
In his first public statement since
the twistings Of fate designated him
as the probable next Speaker, Repre-
sentative Garner of Texas set forth
yesterday this tenor of party thought.
His statement came through the Dem
ocratic National Committee.
No political truce with President
Hoover and no yielding to political ex-
pediency were the guide posts he set
for his colleagues, with whom he has
been comforting for two days.
II do not anticipate that any Demo-
crat will oppose measure plainly
necessary for the industrial health Of
our people or one that will relieve US
of some Of the embarrassments for
which we believe the present admins
tration responsible" Garner said.
Politics TO BE Secondary.
"At the same time feel that I am
safe in stating my belief that the
Democrats will insist that they shall
be the judge of the wisdom and ex-
pediency of the enactments upon
which they will be called to vote.
We have no reason to assume the
infallibility of the administration. In
deed, the experience of the past two
years pretty clearly demonstrates that
no such assumption is possible"
Politics, he said, would be second
airy consideration if his party organizes
the House, as is likely, and mo policy
of mere obstruction" Is intended.
Garner States Stand.
IF there be political advantage in
demonstrating our ability to exhibit to
the country the Presidents importance,
the Texan asserted, I'VE are willing to
forego that advantage.
I'VE will not take the position, for
which incidentally we have adequate
Republican precedent. that because a
proposal emanates from the White
House it is thereby automatically
damned. Nor will he accept the n.y.
pothesis that because of such origin 1t is
automatically sanctihed."
He forecasts that with a presidential
election near, every time the Democrats
and candidate for reelection" they will
be accused Of playing politics"
If we are interested in bringing
about the election Of Democratic sue
ceSsor to Mr.. Hoover, he and his party
are no less interested in accomplishing
Mr.. Hoover'S reelection" Garner said.
There Is no more justification for the
contention that Democratic votes
against administration measures are
dictated by partisanship than that the
Presidents own recommendations are
actuated by an equally selfish motive"
