The Low Down On
GROVE

I just been reading some
about Uncle Samuel and his
ventures into business, and boy,
he takes the cake.
The latest I been reading is
about a deal down near Bos-
ton where the Govt. wanted to
start another housing project.
So they bought out the Bohemia
Club there, for 10 thousand
dollars. But in order to get 60
ing on the project, they had to
get rid of the clubhouse, so
they sold the building back to
the Bohemians for los dollars.
The club moved it across the
street to a vacant lot. Brother,
that is financing, a la Samuel.
But my neighbor says, 10,
don't get too excited - calm
yourself. The Govt. gourd re-
search makes your clubhouse
financing look sick, he says. The
paper says the Govt. looked in
to the idea of using gourds for
bird houses. And they finally
deducted and decided that the
size of the gourd should be in
proportion to the size of the
bird, for it was found useless
to invite a large bird to nest
in a small gourd. ,
T musta looked kinda dubious,
or something, because Henry
says, alright, read it yourself -
here it is in this Florida news
paper.
Yours with the low down,
10 SIERRA.

PASTURE IMPROVEMENT is
OBJECT OF NEW PROGRAM
Over $50 Farmers Already En-
rolled In Extension Service
Project

A pasture improvement program
was recently inaugurated among the
farmers of Garrett county by John H.
Carter, County Agent, through the
Extension Service, and already more
than $50 agriculturalists have enrolled
as members of the project.
The object of the program, accord
ing to Mr.. Carter, is to give out infor-
nation from time to time essential
for good pastures and for growing
good forage crops. Its purpose is to
lower the cost of production of live
stock and all it's products so that the
farmer will be able to make profit
from his labors.
1t is planned to send series of let
tiers, written by Extension specialists.
to those enrolling in the program, Civ
ing basic information which the farm
ers can apply to their particular situa-
tions. Letters will be written by John
W. Magruder, Extension Agronomist;
j. A. Conover, Dairy Specialist; Joseph
NJ. Vial, Livestock Specialist, and pos
sibly by others.
Mr.. Carter said there was also being
planned an old-fashioned farmers in
stitute or conference, to be held some
time between the present and April
Is, where farmers interested can meet
with the specialists for two days and
discuss their problems.
The program has been brought
about by the realization that the farm
ers' overhead must be lowered if he is
to receive any return for his labors. 1t
is right in line with the dairy devel-
opment program which may be de-
veloped here if an additional milk
receiving station is established at
Oakland, Mr.. Carter said
Anyone desiring the series of letters
who hasn't already enrolled in the
program is urged to notify the County
Agent within few days.

LIKELIHOOD OF RECEIVING
TAXES ON LAKE DISCUSSED
Taxpayers Wondering About the
Effect of Reorganization Pro-
ceedings of Associated Gas
COUNTY is DUE S55,3OO

Just what effect the reorganization
proceedings of the Associated Gas and
Electric Company would have upon
Garrett county and it's tax collections,
is being discussed widely among the
taxpayers here and throughout the
county, as the holdings of that COM
pany here amount to about one-fifth
of the entire taxable basis of the
county.
The holdings of the Associated Gas
and Electric Company in Garrett
county include the Youghiogheny
Hydro Electric Company, and the
Associated Maryland Electric and
Power Company, and are assessed on
the assessment books of the county
at $4,100,511. The 1889 taxes of the
company amounted to $55,3OO, which
have not been paid, according to Jesse
j. Ashby, Jr., county treasurer.
At the present rate for this year the
taxes for 1910 will be $62,881.33. Mr..
Ashby was of the opinion that the
company would be reorganized and
that the company's taxes would be
taken care of, eventually, but that
there might me delay of year, per-
haps several years. The county could
not advertise any property for sale
for unpaid taxes as long as the pro-
.ceedings were under settlement in the
United States courts, he pointed out
There is to be hearing February
27 in the U. S. district court, in Utica,
N. Y, when the court will hear OBJ
.jections to retention in office of any
trustee who may be appointed, and to
Institute proceedings for the reorgan-
ization of the corporation pursuant to
Chapter 10 of the Bankruptcy Act, as
amended.
Notice of this meeting has been
sent to creditors, stockholders and in
denture trustees of the company.
About half of Garrett county's I'M
collected taxes for 1889 are taxes on
the Associated gas property, which
takes in Deep Creek Lake and the
Power House.
