In Memory

In memory of our dear father,
L. O. Bare, who passed away one
year ago, January II, 1915:
I cannot say, and will not say,
That he is dead-he is just
away!
With a CHEEKY smile, and a wave
of the hand,
He has wandered into an I'M
known land.
And left us dreaming how very
fair
1t needs must be, since he lin
gers there.
And we, who so sadly yearn,
For the old time step and glad
return,
Think of him faring on, as dear
In the love of there, as the love
of here;
Think of him, still as the same, I
say:
He is not dead-he is just away.
Written by his daughter,
Mrs. Clifton L. Wilson

SANDY SPRING, Md, Feb. 23.-
A group of $50 progressive Mary
land farmers gathered in Sherwood
High School here today for their
annual one-day "refresher course
on how to make farming a little
easier and a little more profitable
the Farmers Convention of Sandy
Spring.
1t was the 73d session and was
sponsored by the Senior Farmers
Club. the Enterprise Farmers Club
and the Montgomery Farmers Club.
1t was business meeting, not fair
and the members attended strictly
to business, except for midday din
ner, prepared and served by women
of the community
If city dwellers pictured a farm
ers' convention as a gathering Of
rural characters" in blue peans,
given over largely to "reminiscences
and tall tales, they would have been
disappointed here. These were bus
tnessmen, mostly small businessmen,
who listened attentively to discus
sions of new farming techniques,
asked few questions of the speak,
ers and departed Immediately after
the last address. The convention
moved on schedule. 1t was due to
close at 4 pm. and was over at 4:03.
Never regarded as easy work,
farming was beset with manifold
new difficulties during the war years,
and most of the farmers came to
the convention in search of bright
postwar picture. They hoped it soon
would be easier to produce enough
from the field and herd to satisfy
their own needs and to sell in the
Washington market. The speakers
could give them little real cause
for elation, only hints on cutting
corners to keep operations on the
black side of the ledger.
Speed Milking Urged.
O. w. Anderson, Montgomery
County agent, urged greater use of
the quick-milking process for dairy
herds as an aid in solving the
critical farm labor problem. Mr..
Anderson said he had figured
enough man-days of work could be
saved if all COWS in the county
were MIXED by the process to COM
pensate for the number of man
days lost through elimination of
the prisoner -of-war labor which was
available last year. He contended
a cow could be MIXED as salts
factorily in 31a minutes as in Z
minutes if the proper procedure
is followed. but said he knew of
only. about a dozen Montgomery
farmers who were using quick
milking regularly.
MIR. Anderson said farmers might
as we'll admit the days of large,
low-cost labor teams are gone for
ever and concentrate on more eff
