CHICKEN OWNERS TATTOO
FLOCKS TO BALK THIEVES
Identification Marks Being Made
On Wings Of Birds In State

Just as ranchers brand their cattle
so they may be readily identified if
they fall into the hands of thieves or
else stray into strange pastures, SO
Garrett county poultry raisers are
tattooing their feathered f1ocks as
may be observed by anyone driving
along the highways and seeing signs
posted at farm gates warning thieves
that the poultry within the enclosures
of the farms are marked and can be
easily identified.
Not only are poultry raisers in Gar
rett county branding their focks, but
those raising chickens and other poul-
try throughout the State are likewise
doing the same, hence county agents
in various parts Of Maryland are re-
porting the plan is being widely adopt
ed for the Identification Of not only
chickens, but also turkeys, geese,
ducks, guineas and pigeons. In less
degree it is being utilized to brand
swine, cows and sheep.
Already the method has proved a
positive means of identifying stolen
poultry. AS we'll it has enabled turkey
and guinea raisers to reclaim fiocks
that wandered away from home feed
ing grounds.
Moreover, each poultry raiser be-
comes a tattoo artist. A little device
hardly as heavy as a pair of shears
serves to do the job. The tattoo marks,
in the case of fowl, invariably are put
on the wing. First, because the skin
there is thin and tender. Second, be-
cause the feathers are never thick at
that point.
AS fast as the fowl are passed to the
tattoo artist, one wing is stretched out.
The tattoo-marking machine is slipped
over it and the handles are compressed.
The job is done and the fowl, without
suffering any injury, is marked per-
manently.
In principal the machine is not I'M
like the method of electric needle tat
tooing of the human body. Needles
pass through a dye in the stamping
machine and carry the coloring into
the skin of the wing as they pass
through.
One adept at chicken tattooing car
brand fowl every fifteen seconds
The average person without any exper.
fence can perform the task easily il
thirty seconds, it is said.

Social Gathering

To facilitate the enjoyment of d
closer contact between members of the
technical stats in the CCC camps OF

U. S. ENGINEERS BEGIN
SURVEY FOR SAVAGE DAM
Work Will Require From Three
To Five Months For Completion

A survey for the proposed Savage
River dam in this county, was be-
gun last Thursday under the supervis-
ion of A. D. Neeld, of the Washing
ton division of the United States Army
Engineering Department. The War De-
partment has been furnished much
data by the Cumberland Engineering
department from a survey made in
1908.
The proposed dam is to impound
water in the Savage River valley, the
stream being tributary of the Poto-
mas River, to increase the stream
flow in the Upper Potomac valley in
the summer months for industrial use
and sanitary needs, as well as for
flood control.
$4,000 Grant For Project
The Works Progress Administra-
ton granted an appropriation of $780,
900 to conduct the survey and make
plans for the dam, which, it is esti-
mated, will cost $1,2OO,0OO. Efforts
will be made to get an Act of Congress
appropriating money for the building
of the dam.
In addition to three corps of engi-
neers, numbering 81 men, approx
mately IS workers are being en-

ployed under a WPA project. Assis-
tant engineers are being provided by
the Unemployment Service. Richard
Brydon, of Bloomington, is field chief.
Ralph Brett, Cumberland, and Adds
Casey, Frostburg, are assistants. Of
fees have been established in the
First National Bank Building at Pied
mont.
Approximately three to five months
will be required to complete the sur
vey. 1t is estimated 1000 feet of core
drilling will be necessary to determine
the various strata.
If built the proposed dam for
which the survey is being made, will
be 155 feet high. Mr.. Neeld stated
that it would be the highest earth filled
dam in the world, as far as he knew.
The dam will be $50 feet thick at the
base. A concrete core wall would be
constructed to back up the earthen
barrier. Considerable work would be
necessary, Mr.. Neeld pointed out, in
gathering sufficient dirt from sur
surrounding territory to build the dam.
A spillway through the mountain
at the side sufficient to care for the
maximum flow of water in the river
will be necessary for this type of dam.
The proposed site of the dam is
| just below the point where Crabtree
Creek empties into the Savage River
and is about mile above the dam
which furnishes Piedmont's and West
ernport's water supply. The proposed
dam would back up the waters of the
Savage for a distance of four miles.
The municipal dam and the site of
the Bond CCC camp would be inundat-
ed. The dam when filled would guar
antee a maximum flow of water in
the Potomac River sufficient for ade-
quate sewer disposal and industrial
purposes at Cumberland and other
Potomac valley towns the year around.

mac River board, composed of repre-

that some of them may lose sew
eral hundred dollars by neglecting
to sign Federal Agricultural Con-
servation work sheets. He state.
that normal cropping programs
that have already been completed
on many local farms indicate pay
ments ranging from small amounts
to over $1,000 per farm. Some
farms which cannot qualify for
payments under the present re-
quirementS of the 1886 program
may possibly be able to qualify
if the regulations are liberalized
He emphasizes, however, that no
work sheets, no share in the $47O,-
100000 Congress has appropriated
for this project.
AS the present program has no
contracts, producers are not obli-
gated or limited in any way in
their farming operations by sign
ing the work sheets. Information
given on the work sheets include
Cd Legal description of all lands
the producer is now operating,
co The net acreage of each crop
that was harvested on these lands
in 1885, and 90 The representa-
tive Or average annual yield per
acre of crops produced on these
lands in recent years. Everyone
who is interested in the Agricul-
tural Conservation program is
urged by the farm advisor to fiji!
out and sign these work sheets re-
gardleSs of whether or not it now
appears that one can qualify for
payments. Those who can qualify
will later have opportunity to sign
application forms. Individuals who
have not signed work sheets cam
not later file application forms.
Producers of Imperial County
have shown more interest in this
program than in any other il
