new PROJECT in GROWING
PEAS STARTED in COUNTY
Forty-Six Varieties and Ninety
two Numbered Strains Have
Been Planted on Farm Here
WILL DEVELOP INDUSTRY

A new project on peas has been
started by John H. Carter, county
agent, in cooperation with c. E. Tenn
pie, University of Maryland Exten-
sion service and Experiment station.
The purpose is to demonstrate the
value of peas as a market garden
crop in this county; to test large
number of varieties of peas in order
to find out which are best suited to
local conditions; and to multiply the
seed of certain new canning varieties
originated at the Maryland expert
ment station and elsewhere.
Forty-six varieties and ninety-two
numbered strains and selections have
been planted on the farm of Roy C.
Winters, east of town.
The seed of these varieties will be
produced in abundance so that they
can be used next year by the farmers
if any of them proves to be valuable
under local conditions. The cool
climate here makes it possible to
grow peas during the summer when
states east and south are unable to
grow them, Mr.. Carter stated. This
means that the market garden peas
of Washington, Baltimore, Philadel-
phia and other cities must be pro-
duced either in the mountains or in
the north. "There is no reason why
Garrett county should not develop a
new industry in the growing of green
peas to market in the large eastern
cities during August and September"
Mr.. Carter continued.
"The conditions for such an indus
try are favorable, but the growth of
it will depend on the farmers. 1t is
planned to supervise the growing of
larger plots by farmers and club boys
next year."
This project is expected to create
labor for many people now unem-
ployed, and bring into the county ex-
ira money that would not be received
otherwise. The pea crop is a short
time crop, being marketed within
three months from the time the seed
is planted.
The numbered varieties now planted
have been multiplied twice in the
greenhouse since last summer. In
stead of shipping this seed to the
Pacific Northwest to grow it in mid
season, it was found that conditions in
Maryland were favorable to multiple
cation during summer.
These varieties have been selected
for resistance to the wilt disease, be-
ing almost 100 percent resistant. Gar
rett county, therefore, is going to be
able to help the farmers of other
states as we'll as those of Maryland
by increasing the amount of seed of
the wilt resistant varieties.

Kite Flying Dangers Emphasized

In view Of the fact that more
Waterville youngsters than ever
before appear to be flying kites this
spring, it seems advisable to repeat
for their benefit warnings voiced
yesterday by official of the local
power companies. 1t is pointed out
that unless parents are careful to
see that their children indulge in
this healthfhl and fascinating pas
time in locations where there is
little or no danger Of coming into
contact with electrical wires, seri-
Gus injury and even death may re-
suit. The danger lies in the pos
sibility of the kites tail, or the fly
ing string coming in contact with
or becoming entangled in electric
ally charged wires or equipment
and for that reason areas in the
neighborhood of electric power.
telephone and trolley lines should
be avoided.
Wire or tinsel Irvine Of any sort
should not be used in flying kites.
Cotton string should be used and
it should be born in mind that even
this, when wet, becomes a con-
of real danger when in contact
with electric wires.
Children should avoid the use of
kites with metal ribs.
One should not attempt to climb
power poles in order to attempt to
free entangled kites, nor should
stones be used for that purpose.
Kites should not be permitted to

ever, develop a considerable collec-
ton of favorite variety and ar
range the rest of the garden to sup
plement and intensity the beauty of
the favorites.
The Personal Touch
Some gardeners plan specifically
for long and continuous season
of bloom, and make a point of hav-
ing no day in the season without
fresh bloom. Still others favor the
blue garden" including only flow
ers in harmonious shades of blue,
or perhaps the bright or white"
garden with brilliant reds and yell
lows set off with borders of white
blossoms.
Almost any of the specially gar
dens, If they are to prove success
full, call for progressive develop
ment as the gardener learns by ex-
perience and comes to know his
plant material more intimately.
There are other specialties that
are enforced by conditions which
the gardener is unable to modify.
His soil may be poor, and until he
can improve it he must depend
on the relatively few varieties
which thrive in poor soil, some do
ing even better than they would in
