Garrett County in
Grip of Cold Wave

A severe cold wave, the worst Of the
season, has Garrett county and the
entire tri-State area in its grip with
temperatures ranging around the zero
mark in this immediate community.
There was no immediate relief in
sight with the weather observer pre-
dieting continued cold today, which
adds up more than fifty continuous
days on which ice and snow have
covered the streets and highways.
The cold was intensified by strong
winds and blustery conditions which
prevailed. Yesterday the official tenn
perature reading was one below zero,
while this morning the thermometer
registered two above. Snow has con-
tinued to fall for three days, but to-
day is clear.
Last Saturday morning, with clear
skies and full moon the night pre-
vious, the thermometer reading was
16 below zero.
This week attendance at the Oak
land schools has been considered
fair, considering weather conditions.
Yesterday there was 70 to so percent
of the pupils present in the elemen-
tary school, while this morning it was
60 percent or less, according to Merle
Frantz, principal. Most all buses re-
ported, but many of them did not
cover their full routes and the passen-
gers were not numerous. 1t was prac-
tically the same at the High school
Glasses are being held as usual.
Continued drifting kept the secon-
Diary roads closed, but State highways
are open.

Grounding Expected

If the grounding is able to burrow
through all the snow and ice and
emerge from his winter quarters, it
will be his duty on Friday, February
,, according to tradition, to come forth
and make prediction on the kind of
weather that Garrett Countians must
put up with for the remaining six
weeks of winter
This alternating animal is given
credit for becoming scared by his
shadow, and if the sun shines on
Friday tradition informs us he will
Scurry for shelter and remain for six
weeks during which time the snow,
ice and cold will continue. But if
rainy, foggy or cloudy. and the sun
does not cause shadow the ground
hog is expected to remain in the open
and spring is not far out Of sight.

STUDY TO BE MADE OF
FARM PRODUCTION COSTS
Agriculturists OF County Asked
TO Cooperate With Extension
Bureau In Collecting Facts

Garrett county farmers were asked
this week by County Agricultural
Agent John H. Carter to cooperate
with the Department Of Agricultural
Economics and Marketing of the Uni
Versity of Maryland and the Mary
land Crop Reporting Service of the
u. S, Department of Agriculture, in
making a survey to collect informa-
ton for a thoroughgoing study of
farm production costs.
In letter to County Agent Carter,
Dr.. S. H. Default, head of the De-
partment of Agricultural Economics
at the University, wrote:
Everybody is aware of the fact
that prices of farm products have
risen, but costs have risen too, and it
is questionable if net farm income
has increased. We do not know enough
about farmers costs to be able to
say.
prices Maryland farmers receive
for their products, as we'll as quaint
ties produced, are known. Also the
prices Of commodities farmers use in
production and family living are also
known, but quantities bought are not.
The only information we have of this
kind is published by the U. S. De-
partment Of Agriculture for the ma
ton as a whole, and purchases of
Maryland farmers differ from the
national pattern in important par
ticularS"
These are some of the important
reasons given for conducting the
study.
The survey, individual reports of
which will be held strictly confiden-
tlal, is different from others con-
Quoted in years past. There will be
eight schedules of questions, but any
one farm family will receive only two
schedules. The questions call for in
formation concerning purchases of
farm equipment, farm power supplies,
furniture, floor covering, household
articles and equipment, and other Sc
lectcd items used in production or
consumption in the home and on the
farm. Such facts are expected to be
helpful in variety of ways, includ-
ing consideration with regard to pres
ent and possible future price ceilings
and floors in the case of some pro
ducts.
Farmers, who are to be surveyed
in all Maryland counties, are urged
to complete the questionailres as soon
as received and place in return mail
IN postage-frce envelopes provided.
Further information about the survey
may be obtained from County Agent
Carter.
