Wins Essay Contest

Charles Ross, a student of agri-
culture in Friendsville High school,
won the essay contest on "a Farmer
who Achieves" which was conducted
in the school recently.
For the winning essay the contes-
tant was presented with a book en-
titled, adventures in Achievement"
Young Ross wrote about Asa B.
Friend, of the Friendsville community,
VINO started farming in a small way
and continued to progress each year.
Mr.. Friend is still engaged in farm
ing. The winning essay is as follows:
A Man Who Achieves
Mr.. Asa B. Friend is man who
achieves. When he started out in
life for himself he did so without any
large inheritance. But being very
Industrious man he worked hard and
earnestly. Finally he bought land and
cleared out enough for a nice farm.
The land was very level, hence the
best kind for cultivation. Mr.. Friend
was very successful in his raising of
live stock and grains. He titled his
land carefully and raised grains for
the market.
AS time went on Mr.. Friend con-
tinued to clear more land, thus in
creasing the size of his farm. His
fences, which enclose his farm, are
secure and upright-they do not lean
on the ground. His stock is of the
best and is always kept in the best
of condition. His buildings are mod
ern and repaired at intervals when
necessary.
Mr.. Friend has a place for every
thing and everything is in its place.
When not in use his machinery is
kept in a shed, provided for that pur-
pose.
At first Mr.. Friend lived in a small,
simple log house, but later erected a
nice farm house into which he moved
his large family. His three sons al
ways took an interest in farming and
helped their father greatly, and of
course this both pleased and encour-
aged the father.
Mr.. Friend, now an eldely man, is
still farming and progressing. His
wife is provided with all the modern
household equipment and convenient
ces and the family enjoys the pleasure
of modest little automobile.
Mr.. Friend is fine neighbor and
we'll liked in his community. He is
fair and honest in his dealings. This
has undoubtedly contributed to his
success, as well as his discreet econ
omy and good common sense.

The Black Walnut-A Valuable Tree
The black walnut represents ma
tive tree especially we'll adapted to
Maryland conditions and it possesses
valuable characteristics which some
day will be more generally appreciat-
ed. 1t is a highly ornamental tree;
the timber is sought after for use in
making furniture and other manu-
featured articles, and the nuts COM
mand a relatively high price for use
in confections. The common opinion
that the walnut is slow in coming in
to bearing is not we'll founded for,
while it is a type that requires heavy
feeding, when given an annual mulch
of stable manure, it will generally
come into bearing as soon as the APP
pie tree.
Nuts produced by seeding trees
very greatly in sizs, shape and crack
ing qualities. There are, however,
limited number Of named varieties
which are to be recommended highly.
They include Thomas, Stabler and
Ohio, the leading varieties being prop
agated today.
Poultry Advice
Matching at the right time this
spring will have an important bear
ing on the egg production of the
pullets next fall, according to John
H. Carter, county agent. Recent eX-
periments have tended to confirm the
idea that pullets reaching maturity
and commencing to lay in October OF
by November l will produce a great
er number of eggs during the sue
ceeding twelve-month period than
those maturing at earlier or later
dates. The handicap is especially
apparent in pullets maturing later
than November 1.
The Maryland Experiment station
has emphasized for many years the
Importance of Matching at the proper
time. The value of such recommen-
dation is borne out by recent expert
mental results.
1t is customary to allow approx
mately 100 days for the lighter
breeds to reach maturity. To have
pullets ready to lay by October Is, it
would be necessary to have the
chicks out not later than May 5,
Therefore the most desirable
Matching period for lighter breeds is
generally regarded as April l to
May Is.
For the heavier breeds 1870 days is
allowed for pullets to reach maturity.
To have pullets of this type at the
proper stage of maturity by October
is would require Matching net later
than April Is.
In addition to the greater laying
capacity of the pullets, earlier
Matched chicks are likely to develop
before hot weather to stage where
they are more resistant to disease
and parasites. Hot weather always
aggravates trouble from these sour
ces.
Poultry growers who follow the
"Grow Healthy Chick" program
recommended will not only have
more eggs in the basket at the end
of the year, but they will have more
money in the bank.
Flocks raised on this program
average 165 eggs per hen with an
income over feed cost of $2.66 per
hen, while focks raised under ordl-
nary methods produced only lat
eggs per hen with an income OF
$1.86, the difference being 18 eggs
and 80 cents net income per bird.
Practices recommended in raising
poultry were clean chicks, clean incu-
bators, clean brooder houses, clean
grounds, clean litters, clean feed,
clean management, and clean laying
house.
