Extension Service To Carry On
Experimental Work Here

A ten-acre plot of ground on the
farm of William DeBerry, north of
Oakland on Route 81, has been leased
for five-year period by the Expert
ment Station and Extension Service
of the University of Maryland, upon
which experimental work will be car
ried on with potatoes, peas, fertiliz-
ers, crop rotations and vegetables.
This announcement was made day
or two ago by John H. Carter, county
agent, who has endeavored to get such
a service for the county for several
years past. There are experimental
plots already on the Eastern Shore
and at College Park, but there never
has been any experiment work carried
on to any extent that might be of
value to farmers of the mountainous
regions of the State.
The object of the experimentation
will be to determine the most practi-
cal crops for this climate, the best
system of crop rotation and the diff
ferent varieties that are adabtable
here. Seed from various sources will
be obtained and planted and a record
kept of their care, expense, yield, and
other data in connection with the pro-
duction of the various crops to be
raised on the plot.
Work in the production of peas will
be in charge of Prof. C. E. Temple;
the potato projects in charge of DR..
R. A. Jehle; soils and fertilizer in
charge of ]. E. Metzger and truck
crops under the direction of DR.. Fra
zier and DR.. Cordner, all of the EX-
pertinent Station and Extension Ser
vice. John H. Carter, county agent,
will be in charge locally.

Assembly when the rush was on, the

ficulties were Strengthened out late
last week when Neil, C. Fraley, attor-
ney to the Board of County Commits
sioners, Mr.. Edwards, Senator Friend

cidentally placed in a folder with a
number of other measures by the GUS
todian.

To Install New System in Tele-
phone Service Here

A new switchboard and telephone
system will soon replace the old ones
now in operation throughout the Oak
land territory, according to G. r.
Kinds, local manager of the plant.
The battery system will replace the
present magnetic system, and it will
not be necessary to ring central when
making a call. The signal will be given
when the receiver is taken from the
instrument hook.
A rumor that can not be confirmed
was to the effect that the offices of
the telephone company would be moved
from their present quarters to another
building.

WORK PROJECT SUGGESTED
BY MT. LAKE ASSOCIATION
Asks Government To Purchase
800 Acres OF Submarginal Land

Among the work projects in Mary
land that might be carried out with
funds from the four billion Works
Relief bill, which have been received
by Senator Tydings and Radcliffe,
was one offered by the Mountain Lake
Park Association, according to dis
patch from Washington, D. c., under
recent date.
The Park Association proposed to
the two Maryland Senators the pur-
chase of approximately 800 acres Of
submarginal land adjoining the conf
munity, which, it was explained, could
be turned into parks and used for rec
reational purposes.
After attempting to ascertain from
various people at Mountain Lake Park
just where the 800 acres mentioned
in the story might be located, it was
finally concluded to be the entire Park
itself. Nobody in the Park was able to
explain the matter any more than had
appeared in the dispatch.
Whether this could be classed as
submarginal land was disputed by
some. AS the Mountain Lake Park As
ISOLATION pays a good portion of
the entire amount of taxes into the
treasury of the community governing
the Park, citizens are awaiting with
interest more detailed account of the
proposition. Federal land would not be
subject to municipal, county or State
tax.

Last Friday night the top of an orn-
amental pine tree in the front yard at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. H. C. Hos
teller, short distance from town on
Route 81, was cut away and carried
off by some party unknown. The tree
was highly priced by the owners and
its destruction was evidently the work
of some malicious person.
