virtually impossible between Palestine

Financial sources asserted many
merchants in the Holy Land have
stopped buying goods in Syria since
the outbreak nearly three months ago

contracted remained unpaid and
Syrian merchants, in some instances,
have sought loans to pay their own
bills.
To complcate the situation, the
Syrians have their own movement

French military forces in Syria
have been heavily reinforced lately,

VEGETABLE MARKET
PLAN is SUGGESTED
Garrett County Farmers Told
Opportunity Is Good for
Cooperative.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
OAKLAND, Md, January Go
operative marketing of fresh vege-
tables was suggested to Garrett Coun-
ty farmers by County Agent John H.
Carter in his annual report.
Carter said he believed the oppor-
tunity was gold for group selling of
such cool-season vegetables as cauli-
flower. broccoli. Brussell sprouts and
peas.
He said experiments with these
vegetables during the last season had
proved successful.
The county agent said there also
was an opportunity for limited num-
ber of farmers to make additional
money by improving their homes and
taking in Summer boarders.
Carter said potatoes constituted the
best cash crop in the county. He rec
commended continued production OF
maple sirup, buckwheat flour. seed
oats and the raising of sheep and
cattle.
Noting continued improvement in
potato growing, he pointed out the
crop had increased by 1885, 1852 bushels
valued at $179, ,409-since 1880.
