Meeting Planned
Cecil Farmers And OPP.
orators Will Hold
Field Day

Farmers, sawmill operators, for
esters, and all citizens interested in
the manufacture and marketing OF
forest products have been invited to
attend a Cecil County Field Day, at
Elkton, on December 10 to discuss
mutual problems and undertakings
and to participate in several special
demonstration and entertainment
features arranged by organizing
groups and agencies.
A morning session will be held
indoors at the Court House, Elkton,
at ten o'clock Following luncheon
a field session will be held in near
by woodland, where the best forestry
practices for marking merchandise
timber and improving the woodlot
will be demonstrated by state and
federal foreaters.
The chief purpose behind this
meeting is to increase production OF
native lumber and wood for essential
military and civilian requirements.
There may be national shortage or
as much as Z billion feet of lumber
for 1913, according to estimates OF
u. s. foreaters, and the War Pro-
duction Board has turned over to
the federal forest service the job Oh
stimulating lumber production to
meet wartime needs. Many m1llmen
have already assisted in increasing
their output, and many farmers and
woodland owners have received
timely and practical help in the mar
keting OF mature timber that is
ready to cut
The Elkton meeting is one OF the
first in series of such gatherings
to be organized by the Timber Pro-
duction War Project in northern Ma
ryland. The forester in charge is
James r. Simmons of the U. S. For
est Service at Bel Air. But the COOP
Grating agencies include County Az
emit Miller OF Elhton, the Extension
Service, USDA County War Board,
Soil Conservation Service, Farm
Foresters OF the fedsstIs states and
private forestry organization, U. >.
Employment Service, Farm Bureau,
Maryland State Forests and Parks,
Department and several other ag-
encies and groups.
Project Forester Simmons says the
Elkton meeting shows promise OF a
good attendance He believes the pro-
gram has been arranged in an attrac-
tive and practical manner so as TO
give all who attend an opportunity
to take part Merchants and manufac-
turers have contributed some valu-
able attendance prizes which will be
awarded to lucky holders OF the right
numbers at a drawing to be staged
during the afternoon session. Mo-
ton pictures will be shown during
the morning session, and practical
demonstrations including saving
and chopping contests during the at
ternoon.
1t has been estimated that Cecil
County could produce a half million
feet of essential shipbuilding, air.

Der, and at least one thousand cords
of fuel and pulpwood during the COM
ing winter months IT, owners, opera
tors and foresters can agree on the
methods required Ito getit out of the
woods. "This, says the local project
forester, would be an important
contribution to the war effort just
at this time."
