MONTGOMERY SIDELIGHTS
By ELSIE WHITE HAINES

homes, however. We just realized
tonight that we had seen for the
first time the abject poverty of
the share cropper of the South
of whom we had often read. All
one morning as we drove along we
lodged the cows and pigs which
Craze the shoulders of the road, on
either side of which was black,
mucky swamps. Highway 3Ol like
Route l, is we'll kept but the feeder
roads for the most part looked
almost impossible.
1t is true that Montgomery has
roads which could and should be
improved-but as we drive along
thru the county and see how few
mud roads we have running out
to our highways we can but think
how much we all have for which
we should be deeply thankful. Rich
lush meadows for our cattle, nice
houses for the tenant farmer,
automobile instead of miles, the
best of equipment to till crops
that are comparable to the richest
in the Nation. Perhaps the incest
part of visiting other parts of the
country is being able to say 81
live in the rich farming and dairy
ing section of Maryland-in Mont
gomery County-just outside Of
Washington"
By the way, just outside Atlanta,
Ga. we visited a lovely garden
spot-the famous u. S. Bamboo
Gardens which are in charge Of
David Bissett, a former Mont
gomery County man. Mr.. Bissett
told US that in 1890 three small
plants of Oriental bamboo were
planted on the site of the expert
mental bamboo garden which now
cover more than an acre. Grasses,
shrubbery and trees from other
countries are also grown expert
mentally there--a lovely Chinese
holly Japanese apricot-an ever
green oak which bears sweet
acorns-Chinese dwarf chestnut
trees and many other varieties
which are being developed hoping
that they may prove of value to
agriculture of the South.
1t was a surprise to be told by
Mr.. Bissett that the bamboo is
not tree but belongs to the
family of grasses. Also contrary
to our conception of bamboo it is
grown in deep, rich we'll drained
soil, not in swamp land. A
The hollow, jointed stems which
burst from the ground in May
come through the ground as large
as they will ever be-and in six
weeks are as tall as they will
gro@-25 to forty feet. Accord
ing to Mr.. Bissett the shoots grow
sometimes two feet in a single day
and when they first appear they
look for all the world like shell
for a three inch gun.
Many new uses are being found
for the bamboo-new to us-the
Orientals have used it for centur-
les. Broom handles, tooth brushes,
treet-sweeping brushes, fishing
rods and furniture are just a few
of the things for which it which
it has been used for years. We
were told Of late experiment in
which it is used as a textile
might even make stockings Of it
some day" concluded our host with
glance at huge runner we had
just developed in one Of our hose.

For some years past. due to the
destruction by floods, the section Of
the old Chesapeake q Ohio Canal
from Seneca, Md, to Harpers Ferry,
w. Va, has been devoid Of water.
Over the past two weeks members
Of the league have made a complete
initial survey Of every foot OF this
territory In an endeavor to de-
termine the feasibility and possi-
bility Of restoring this 39-mile Sec
ton Of the canal and has reported
its findings to the National Capital
Parks Service, which has jurisdiction
over the canal and whose officials
have expressed interest.
The report is being investigated
by members Of the Parks Service
together with members Of the league
this week.
The restoration OF this portion OF
the canal would afford unparalleled
recreational activities for thousands
Of vacationists in this part Of the
country, providing fishing, canoeing,
rowboating and camping in one OF
the East's most scenic areas. It Is
contemplated managing the re-
stored area on an approved con-
servation plane, stocking 1t with
fish and planting 1t with aquatic
plants for fish and wild ducks.
During the survey, members
counted more than 200 black ducks
In the area.
