There are many things a girl
may learn when accompanied by

worth knowing. Girls will be more

EASTERN SHORE
BULL EXHIBIT
NEAR DENTON
On Saturday October 26, Will Be
The First OF Its Kind In
This Section

The first all Eastern Shore Bull
Show will be held at Garland Lake,
near Denton, on Saturday, October 26.
This show will be the first of it's kind
to be staged in this section and a
large number of excellent pure bred
bulls are expected to be exhibited.
All four major breeds - Holstein,
Guernsey, Jersey and Ayrshire will
be represented.
The breeders of all nine Eastern
Shore counties are eligible to take
part in this show. The Fair Associa-
ton is requiring that all bulls be out
of dams that have produced 400
pounds of fat in a year or the mature
equivalent. This requirement was in
cluded to emphasize the Importance
of a production bred bull from a
high producing cow, rather than a
pure bred bull from an INFESTED dam.
The Maryland State Fair Associa-
ton is giving a cash prize to each ex-
hibitor. Ribbons will be given in
each class. The Pet Milk Company
is also donating a trophy, as many
of the bulls shown will be those placed
with patrons in the past two years
in an effort to increase the milk and
butter production Of the future herds.
Besides these prizes pure bred calf
Of each breed will be awarded the
winners.
The entry blanks can be obtained
from the County Agent or from Har-
ry w. Clark, of the Pet Milk Co.
Entries should be returned as soon
as possible.

W. |. DENNIS
IS APPOINTED
AS FORESTER
Worcester County Takes Lead In
A Statewide Plan To Serve
Woodland Owners

With the appointment of William
L. Dennis, as project forester, Wor-
cester county has taken the lead in a
statewide plan to render greater SER
vice to land and woodland owners, it
is announced by F. w. Besley, State
Forester for Maryland. The appoint
ment came about as the result of a
survey of woodland conditions in Wor-
cester county, conducted several years
ago in cooperation with more than
400 landowners.
Mr.. Dennis, who assisted in the ac-
QUESTION and management of a $4,000
acre tract of woodland in Worcester
county, assumed his new duties on
October l. He will work under CO.
operative arrangement with the Mary
land State Department of Forestry,
the University of Maryland Extension
Service, and the United States Forest
service.
The survey covered more than 3d.
900 of the $4,000 acres of woodland in
the county and, in addition to the land
owners, 26 wood using industries were
contacted. The survey showed that
without any supervised management
the average annual growth Of wood
lands in Worcester county is $50
board feet per acre and the area will
support an annual cut of approximate
ly 100000 board feet without di-
minishing the productive capacity of
the land.
Mr.. Dennis will work directly with
the landowners on woodland prob
lens and the marketing of their for
est products at greater profits. If
the project proves successful in Wor-
cester county, it is expected that other
counties will want the services of a
project forester also, it is pointed
out by Mr.. Besley.
In addition to his work in Wor-
cester county, Mr.. Dennis has served
with the Farm Security Administra-
ton, the Swallow Falls C. C. C. Camp;
the Bureau of Parks of Allegheny
county, Pennsylvania; and with the
Northeastern Forestry Company,
Cheshire, Connecticut. He is a grad
uate of Pennsylvania State College.

wide experience and vast human I'M
derstanding of people and their needs.
Having been called to Princeton after
twenty-five years of service in Chi
cago Presbytery, DR.. Brown is gen
erous with his rich accumulation of
vital material.
The members of the Choir are more
than singers.Each member is a young
man preparing to follow the Scrip
tural dictum, go preach!" It is a
matter of utmost Importance to
Church people to know why, in this
age of apparent Indifference to the
preaching of the Gospel and to the
presentation of matters of religious
import, young men of evidently great
talent in many fields of endeavor
feel the compulsion to forsake the fl
nancially more attractive inducements
of other pursuits in order to preach
the Gospel. Members of the Choir
have come from far and wide, from
many states and foreign lands, to pre-
pare at the oldest and largest in
stitution of it's kind in the land to
eco preach. Thrilling, appealing,
even stirring at times are the reasons
why these men come. Some of the
young men in the Choir coming this
Sunday to the Pitts Creek Presby-
terrain Church will give their answers
to the vital question, "Why preach ?"
In order that all may be given an
opportunity to hear this great choir
with it's gifted leader and director
the members of the Pitts Greek
Church at Beaver Dam will meet both
for Sunday School and Divine Wor-
ship at Pocomoke Sunday morning.
There will be no service at Beaver
Dam Sunday afternoon. An open in
vitation is extended to all the towns
people of Pocomoke City and vicinity
to attend this service of song and wor-
ship and inspiration.
