Thousands of Native
Pines Planted Here

More than 100000 pine trees of
species foreign to the state have been
replaced with types of native pine in
several Garrett county areas.
The Maryland Department of For
ests and Parks ordered the trees
planted bordering highway 40 by fed
eral reforestation workers in 1885 and
1886 removed after they were stripped
of their needles by tipmoths. Native
pines have not been disturbed by the
insects.
The department bought 125,000
spruce and $4,000 white pine trees to
replace the insect-attacked ones
planted by the government.
According to Cecil Ramsey, of the
Swallow Falls state forest area,
paintings have been made at New
Germany, at Harrington Manor, and
along route 40, near Grantsville.
Planting has been done by members
of the Conscientious Directors camp
prior to their removal last week, and
by the Grantsville Boy Scouts and
high school students of Grantsville and
Oakland.
The government stated the first
species to be denuded of its needles
leaving nothing but bare trunks and
limbs, was the japanese red pine.

Governor Signs
Forestry Bill
On Conservation

When Governor q Conor a few days
ago signed the Forest Conscrvancy
Districts Act passed by the recent
Legislature, Maryland assumed undis-
puted leadership in the fight for for
est conservation in the eastern half
of the country, asserts State Forester
Joseph f. Kaylor in a special an
nouncemcnt to the county press.
First of its kind to be enacted by a
State Legislature east of the Missis-
sippi, the law empowers the Commits
sion of State Forests and Parks to
appoint in each of four districts a
forestry board of five members
which, after public hearings, will
establish rules for scientific forest
management in its area, and super
wise their application. The fact that
the Commission of State Forests and
Parks, as provided by the law which
created it, includes representatives Of
the Farm Bureau, the State Grange,
and the lumber industry, while district
boards, as provided in the present act,
arc of like composition, gives assur-
ancc to the cumberland owner, Mr.
kaylor points out, that administration
of the law rests with those who
understand his problems. Members of
the Commission of State Forests and
Parks are John NJ. Nelson. Jr., of
Ecclcston, chairman; State Senator
Bernard |, Gender, of Oakland, who
sponsored the bill in the Legislature;
J. Wilson Lord, Of Ellicott City, repre-
scntng the Farm bureau; and Sgd
ncy d, Poverty, of Bel Air, a promi-
ncnt lumberman.

FARM BUREAU PROBLEMS
DISCUSSED AT MEETING
Consideration Given To Blue
Cross Hospital Insurance Pro-
gram; Legislation Discussed

Consideration Of the Blue Cross
Hospital insurance program for mem
bers of the Garrett County Farm Blu
reau was given at a meeting of mem
bers of the organization at Accident
High school on Tuesday evening, May
II. The meeting was countrywide.
The plan was explained by Wilbert
L. Smith, field representative of the
Maryland State Farm Bureau. He
pointed out that fourteen counties in
Maryland had made this service avail
able to its members.
Mr.. Smith also gave a report on
legislation passed at the last session
of the General Assembly affecting
farmers of Maryland. He said con-
siderable resentment was manifested
on the action taken by the Governor
in vetoing the "perishable products"
bill. This bill, he said, was felt to be
very beneficial to farmers nasmuch
as it made it a misdemeanor to inter
fere with the production, transported
ton or processing of perishable food
products.
He declared farmers who patron
lied terminal markets in Maryland
had been charged unloading fees on
farm trucks and further molested in
Transporting farm products. This leg
islation was opposed by various labor
groups.
Other bills discussed at the meeting
Tuesday night were the Forestry bill,
one concerning driving licenses for
farm boys or girls fourteen and fiji
teen years old, and one reducing IL
ccnse fees on trucks used only on the
farm or nearby.
Ross Spcicher and Foster Yost re-
ported on the Farm Bureau insurance
meeting held in Cumberland on Mon
ady, May 3. County Agent John H.
Carter explained the necessary steps
to be taken to establish a soil conscr-
walton district in the county. Nh.
Smith said majority of the farmers
present were in favor Of making APP
plication to the proper authorities to
secure this service for the county.
1t was stated that the Maryland
Farm Bureau would operate the wool
pool in the county again this year,
the date to be announced later.
