Farm plans can also be filled in at

Use of the individual farm plan
sheet in planning farm operations
will enable farmers to obtain the
greatest benefit from their participa-
ton in the program, Mr.. Carter said
regarding payments for soil-building
practices, and classification of crops.
In working out his farm plan sheet
each farmer will be assisted by a
member of the local AAA committee
a representative of the county COM
mittee of Mr.. Carter. In this way the
farmer will be able to get the max
imum assistance available in order to
carry out the soil-building practices
most needed on the farm. The com
mitteemen are informed on the new
provisions of the 1871 program, he
said, which include payments for the
use of lime, phosphate, seeding of
legumes and grasses and green ma
nure crops.

Legislation to authorize the Garrett
county commissioners to levy special
taxes or issue bonds for the construc-
ton of new $25O,OOO high school at
Oakland has been presented to the
legislature by Delegate Darwin B
Martin. The measure was introduced
last Thursday.
The move for new high school
building was inaugurated several
weeks ago by the high school parent
teachers association and resolutions
asking for new and adequate high
school building were passed by prac-
tically every organization in the town
Under the terms of the school mea-
sure the County Commissioners would
be empowered, subject to a referen-
dunn, to issue $250,000 in bonds, or to
levy special tax, at an annual rate
of $4,000 beginning in 1912, to raise
$250,000. These are separate bills and
it is planned to pass, if possible, the
one most acceptable.
$4,000 to Be Added
The Republican was informed this
morning from Annapolis that the
referendum bill had passed the Sec
ond reading and that it was planned
to add $4,000 by amendment to the
bill when it reached the Senate,
making it 100000.
The proceeds from the bond issue
OF the special tax would be placed in
special account and used by the
county board Of education for the ac-
QUESTION of site, construction of the
building and purchase of equipment
Plans for the structure would be sub
ject to the approval of the state su,
perintendent of schools and the coun-
ty school board.
Other Bills
Delegate Martin also sponsored two
other bills to license pin ball and sim
liar machines and to prohibit the OPP
GRAFTON of punchboards for profit in
the county. The pinball measure would
make the machines subject to license
fees ranging from $40 to $50, depend
ing upon the amount required to OPP
crate the devices. Pinball distributors
permits would cost $250.O0.
Other bills introduced in the legis-
lature recently are:
H. B. 525 (by Martin) relating to
search of automobiles in western
counties for illegal game.
H. B. 526 (by Martin) to provide
for a closed season for groundhogs.
