CONSERVATION
Others Who Desire To Sign May
Do So At The Office OF The
County Agent, Mr.. Keller

During the past two weeks more
than 800 Somerset farmers have sign
ed farm plans in order to participate
in the soil conservation program.
A series of community meetings
wefe held last week and farm plans
were signed at the office of the
County Agent this week.
Farmers who desire to participate

year can sign their farm plans at the
County Agents office until the clos
ing date which is Tuesday, April 18th.
1t is expected that all of the $50
farms will be listed and eligible to
participate during the final ten days.
Farmers who have not participated
in the program in previous years can
file work sheet for their farms and
sign farm plan in the same manner
that is done by those farmers who
have enrolled in the program in prev
ious years.
Nearly fifty farmers at this time
have placed orders for about 1875 tons
of lime as a grant of aid under the
program. There are two kinds OF
lime available this spring, ground

CAMPS MUST
MEET SANITARY
REQUIREMENTS
Applications Must Be Forward
ed AS Soon AS Possible To
Their Health Officer
ANNE ARUNDEL HAD
LARGEST NUMBER CAMPS

In preparation for the coming seas
on, owners and operators of all kinds
of summer" camps-labor, as well
as tourist and recreational-have
been notified that permits showing
that the camps meet the sanitary re-
quirements of the State Department
of Health, must be renewed for exist
ing camps and new ones secured for
those just starting, before the camps
may be opened.
Applications should be forwarded
as promptly as possible to the Health
Officer of the county in which the
camp is situated in order that the
necessary inspections may be made
before the season opens. All camps
that meet the State requirements will
be duly certified and placarded.
To be certified, the camp must COM
ply with the State regulations regard
ing the general cleanliness of the
buildings and grounds; concerning the
water supply, toilet facilities and the
disposal of sewage, garbage and other
wastes. Satisfactory arrangements
must also be made for proper handl-
ing of foods, milk, cream, and ice
cream sold on the premises.
Calling attention to the fact that
permits do not hold over from year to
year but must be renewed annually,
DIR. r. H. Riley, Director of the State
Department of Health, said that the
camp regulations apply to every
camp or picnic ground that is used
for six days or longer and that ac-
commodities ten or more persons. In
applying for permits, camp operators
are requested to state the exact To-
cation of the existing or proposed
camp; and to indicate the type-pic-
mic, recreation, tourist, labor, etc.
They must also indicate the approx
mate number of persons to be accom-
modated and the proposed duration
of the camp season.
Since 1926, when the present reg
ulations went into effect there has
been a steady increase both in the
number of camps established and in
the number that have met the re-
quirements. In 1926, 49 camps were
placarded. In 1910, nearly 800 camps
-298 to be exact-met the require
ments and were duly certified.
Of the 298 camps placarded in 40,
considerably over half-161-were
for tourists, % more than in 1899;
Sc were used for recreational pur-
poses; Al as picnic grounds; for re-
ligious gatherings; and 5 as trailer
camps. Twenty-one counties were
represented in the total.
Anne Arundel with 70 camps GER
titled had the largest number in any
one county. Hartford and Washing
ton Counties, with % camps, each,
tied for second place. Garrett with
20 and Prince Georges with 10 came
next. Frederick was represented by
16 camps; Allegany and Cecil with
10, each, tied for the next place; Bal
timore County had ID and the rest
were scattered among the other coun-
hes.
Anne Arundel had the highest
number of camps or settlements
used for recreational purposes;
Hartford with % and Washington
with Fl, the largest number of camps
for tourists.
