Disciples Of Izaak Walton Ask
Farmers To Aid Conservation Plan
Game Lovers Will Play Hosts To Agricultursts Of
County February Emotion Pictures And
Entertainment To Feature

Plans are under way at Rockville
for joint gathering of members of
the Izaak Walton League of Rockville
and Montgomery County farmers and
their families to be held Friday even
ing, February 9. The program prom
ises to be replete with entertainment
of all kinds. Motion pictures of wild
life and its preservation will be
shown. There will be no charge and
everyone interested is invited.
1t is the purpose of the meeting to
get farmers better acquainted with
the program of the Izaak Walton
League. Montgomery County has been
pointed out as having ideal advantage
for wild life maintenance and the
farmers will be asked to cooperate
in using flushing bars, providing COW
ert for game birds and otherwise aid
ing in the conservation Of our wild
life.
The Izaak Walton League of Rock
vile offers a variety of recreation
with it's hunting and fishing program
which comprises the chief sport of
about 25 per cent of our adult popu-
lation. Incidentally, these two sports
are about the oldest known.
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1934-01-11

In the preservation of wild game it
is pointed out that the farmer reaps
many benefits. If game is to become
more plentiful it is the farmer who
will bring it about. He is the natural
custodian and guardian of wild life
A little less intensive filling of land
which fits in well with the recovery
program being urged upon the farmer
by the Department of Agriculture,
will mean nesting sites, feed and
shelter for birds.
Then, too, the game bird feeds on
grasshopper eggs, young grasshop-
pers and other insects which yearly
prey upon farm crops. If each farm
in this county produced the game that
it is capable Of taking care of, men,
bers of the League say hunters would
gladly pay for the privilege Of hunt
ing. 1t has suggested that farmers
take advantage of the opportunity
afforded them and see to it each year
that birds and other game are given
refuge. Local farmers might supply
dinners to hunters and make a specific
charge covering the days hunting on
their property plus the price of a good
meal.

Farmers Holding
Meet This Week
In Baltimore
Secretary Wallace Addresses
Farm Bureau; Milk Marketing
Policy Scored

Over 500 farmers are attending the
eighth annual session of the Maryland
Farm Bureau Federatation and it's af-
filiated organizations in progress this
week at the Lord Baltimore Hotel. The
convention got under way yesterday
with an address by DR.. T. B. Symons,
head of the extension service of the
University of Maryland, who gave an
analysis of the problems confronting
our local farmers. Secretary Of Agri-
culture Henry C. Wallace spoke last
night in an informal manner and
pointed out some of the troubles which
will have to be brushed aside in our
farm program.
The Maryland Stockmen's Associa-
ton, an affiliated group, held it's an
nual banquet at the Congress Hotel.
Josiah W. Jones, of Olney, is presi-
dent of that organization.
One of the most significant events
of the convention so far was the pas
sage last night of resolution con-
demning the policy recently adopted
on milk agreements by the Milk Mar
keting Division of the Department Of
Agriculture operating under the Ag-
ricultural Administration Act. The
resolution stated that "the policy so
adopted is contrary to the law which
contemplates raising the price of milk
to a parity price equal to that Of
1904-14 land indicates using the price
of butter as basis for establishing
prices Of fluid milk in the fluid milk
markets-and as such a policy will
work to the disadvantage of Maryland
milk producers-the Maryland Farm
Bureau Federation goes on record as
vigorously protesting this announced
policy.
In regard to the milk-marketing
question, Secretary Wallace said that
the producer must fix in his mind the
fact that Sound means of produc-
ton control" must be arrived at be-
fore the problem is settled.
Edward O'Neal, president of the
American Farm Bureau Federation, Is
scheduled to speak this Thursday
afternoon. The usual banquet will be
held tonight and the election of Off
GERS will take place Friday.

requirements for the day are high
need this kind of meal.
For Inactive Persons
Keeping these classifications in
mind, it is simple to plan one
breakfast menu which will meet
the needs of all members OF Q
family no matter how diversified
their interests. The inactive per-
son may merely refuse the extra
dishes and concentrate on the
light or medium items.
The child's breakfast should
furnish every necessary element
for proper nourishment. His stom-
ach has been without food for the
longest period during the twenty
four hours and is ready for meal
which will supply food for energy
since an active child uses up g
vast amount of nervous and mus.

with cream or top milk, milk OF
cocoa made with milk, toast and s
soft cooked egg makes a full-bal.
