Permanent Pastures Describef


Pastures of fair soil fertility are
often rendered less productive by i'm
proper cultural practices and poor
grazing management, according to
Frederick V. Grau, of the University
of Maryland Experiment Station, au-
thor of a new bulletin on Permanent
Pastures in Maryland" He says that
pasturing should be begun in the
spring only when the soil is firm and
the pasture has the appearance of a
lawn badly in need of moving. Early
spring grazing, when the grass is just
starting and the soil is likely to be very
wet, is discouraged by the author.
During the short, dry period of sum
mer it is advisable to keep animals off
the pasture as much as possible, and
supplement the permanent pasture
with another one and other feed. The
animals should be taken off the perma-
nent pasture also in the fall to permit
fair growth of grass before winter
and also to build up a reserve. Accord
ing to the author this is a most impor-
tant factor in having the pasture come
through the winter months in the best
possible condition.
These and many other important
questions are discussed by Mr.. Grau in
the bulletin. Some of the other sub
jects discussed are pasture manage
ment, soils and soil fertility, forage
plants, weedy plants, fertilization, use
of lime, phosphorus and manure, graz
ing, seeds and seeding. Copies of the
bulletins may be secured from the EX-
pertinent Station free of charge by
writing to College Park for Bulletin
373.

BROADWATER REUNION OF
$500 TO BE NEXT SUNDAY
To Be Held Near GrantsvilIe;
Clan One of Largest in Country

The Broadwater family, numbering
about $500 persons in Allegany and
Garrett counties, will hold its annual
reunion Sunday, August IS, on the
National Highway, six miles east of
Grantsville. Manley Broadwater, of
Avilton, the president, has announced
that there will be plenty of tables for
everyone, and there will be swimming
and music by the Arion band of
Frostburg.
Mr.. Broadwater, who has been
president of the local clan for the last
four years, has done much, partly
in collaboration with his late uncle,
Amos Broadwater, to compile an eX-
tensive history of the family. Manley
Broadwater has been an employee of
the Kelly-Springfeld Tire company
for fourteen years.
Claim Largest Reunion
Numbering between five and six
thousand members in the United
States, the Broadwater family claims
the largest reunion that can be held
in this country.
From the history of the family,
compiled in the main by Amos Broad

eminent ownership means taking the
industries and utilities out of the
hands of men who have spent a life
time in their upbuiIding and turning
them over to the control of their
henchmen for the purpose of building
up their political organization.
The trainers of the Constitution
planned to have the members of Con-
gress decide how the money for which
they taxed the people should be spent.
This was done up to March 4th, 1888.
Since March 4, 1888, the members of
Congress have shirked this duty and
have turned billions of dollars of the
peoples money over to the political
accident in the White House for him
to juggle with as suits his whims.

Tells OF Settlers

Amos Broadwater tells of the first
settlers on Savage river in the follow
ing description: "The first man who
settled where Eliza Wilt lived was a
man by the name of Solomon Monroe.
He sold his farm to Michael Wilt.
The next was Levi Knots. He lived
and occupied the farm now owned by
George o. Broadwater. 1t is believed
he lived there twenty years. They
| had tub mill where they ground
their grain. Knots sold out to man
named William Spencer. Levi Knots
had a colored man living with him by
the name of London. This man Knots
kept large number of hogs There
the writer saw what he never saw be-
fore nor since-a scaffold to saw
lumber. l suppose it was whip saw.
The first man buried on Savage river
was John Stackpole He was shot by
Michael Wilt. There came a drove of
wild turkeys in the bottom and Mich
ael took his gun and Stockpole fol-
lowed after him and was accidentally
shot. He lived nine days and then
died. Michael was sorry for what he
had done, but Stockpole told him it
was his own fault. The next was

Describes Early Settlements
"When first knew Westernport
there were only two stores and one
blacksmith shop. One store was kept
by William Price, the other by James
Morrison, who came from Alexandria,

stores and eight or ten saloons. The
population is supposed to be about
$4,000 or 1000 inhabitants.
"Now for a word about Piedmont.
Where Piedmont now stands there
was only one house, owned by the
widow Burns, when | first knew Pied
