HUGE TASK IN DROUGHT
AID MET BY RED CROSS
Relief Given to Distressed Helps
in Meeting Serious Situation,
Chairman Payne Says.
"a b

"The year of the great drought"
as these past twelve or more months
will be known to future generations,
wrought great damage to millions.
Not alone did the crops, which were
burned in the fields in twenty-three
states, in the summer of 1880, deprive
several million persons of food, but
the drought disaster continued in the
summer of 1881 in the northwestern
states, and also brought other minor
catastrophes in its wake, such as for
est fires, and the grasshopper plague.
More than year has elapsed since
the American Red Cross launched, in
August. 1880, its first moves for relief

Telephone communication is playing
its part in the monumental undertake
ing that has attracted the attention of
patriotic Americans everywhere in the
carving of the heads of George Wash
ington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham
Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt out
of solid stone on Mount Rushmore in
the Black Hills of South Dakota as
lasting memorial.
Some idea of the immensely of the
heads of these famous Americans is
emphasized by the statement that
they are being reproduced on the
scale of man 465 feet tall. The head
of Washington is practically COM
pleted. Work on the other heads is
now under way. The project is being
carried out under the direction of Gut
zon Borglum, world famous sculptor.
In chiseling out these heads, the
artists have utilized the telephone in

MARYLAND All CLUB BOYS
AND GIRL ON RADIO
PROGRAM

Plans are almost complete,
it is announced by Miss Dorthy
Emerson, State Girls Club
Agent, for Maryland's part in
the second annual national All
Club Achievement Day radio
program, which will be broad
cast over a national hook-up.
from 1890, 1880, November Z.
In addition to the thirty
minutes allotted to the club
members of forty different
States, a part of the program
will be- used by the United
States Marine Band and speak
ers from the Department Of
Agriculture.
Marylanders who will take
part in the program, to be
broadcast from Station W r G,
Washington, are Wilson Hud-
son, Worcester county; Walter
Morris, Kent county; Charlotte
Quinn, Friedrich county and F.
M. Payne, Secretary of the
Maryland Farm Bureau. In adj
dition, the girls All Club glee
club of Beltsville, will provide
singing.
A total of fifty-one radio
stations associated with the
the National Broadcasting Com
pany will provide a coast to-
coast network which will carry
the program all over the nation
The unique feature of the pro-
gram is it's dual nature which
provides both a national broad
cast of talks and music over
the entire network to all of the
$4,000 club members in the
country and individual State
broadcasts of achievement day

EVERGREENS SHIPPED BY
THE STATE FORESTRY
DEPARTMENT

The State Forest Nursery at
College Park is now in the
midst of it's fall shipping sea-
son, having completed ship
ment of all evergreen trees
prior to the arrival of frost.
0,246 prospective forest trees
have been distributed TO the
citizens of Maryland this fall at
the actual cost of production.
Trees have been sold as low as
NC apiece, ranging upward in
price according to size. De-
ciduous trees, those that shed
their leaves each winter, are
not dug for shipment until after
the leaves begin to fall, as the
trees stand the shock of trans
planting much better after
growth has stopped for the
season. Recent frosts have
brought down many leaves,
casuing Nursery Superinten-
dent Silas Sines to turn his at
tention to shipment of the
broad leaved species.
The State Department of
Forestry has announced that
fall shipment from the Nursery
will probably result in plant
ing of 10000 young trees
throughout the State as forest
and wfndbreak plantations.
Every effort is being made by
the State Forester's office at
Baltimore, as well as Extension
Forester's Office at College
Park, to insure the success of
the plantations regardless of
whether trees are planted on
private property or state forest
areas. Purchasers of young
forest trees are carefully in
structed in approved planting
methods and where large plan
tations are established, super
vision at the time of planting
is frequently given by State
Forestry officials.
State Forester F. w. Besley
remarks that the State Forest
| Nursery is showing encourag-
ing growth from year to year,
at present distributing a half
million trees annually, 900 of
which are used for forest plant
ing. The majority of the
planting is done during the
spring season, at which time
about 500 of the annual ship
ments are made. According
to Mr.. Besley, the trees are
sold at the actual cost of grow
ing them as a special induce
ment in the establishment of
new forest areas throughout
the State. Income from the
nursery returns toward the cost
OF growing more trees. The
gradual increase in demand for
trees has resulted in a gradual
expansion of facilities at the
State Nursery until there are
about IL acres under cultiva-
ton. Needed additions have
been made to the nursery build
ings this fall and a new pack
ing shed has been built.
