More than 1000 persons from Mont
gomery County and neighboring

critical than ever, they saw demon
strations of labor saving devices in
tended as the answer to the Gov
ernment's appeal for increased crops
to feed this country and the hungry
millions abroad
City dwellers were affected by the
show because, as one farmer puts
it, IF we can grow things cheaper
by cutting down on labor, people
in the city won't have to pay as
much for their food"
Highlighting the show was an ex-
hibition of machine milking on the
gymnasium stage Under this sys-
tenn, cow can be MIXED in about
three minutes as compared with the
manual system which takes more
than twice as long, according to
County Agent o. w. Anderson.
Rubber Models Demonstrated.
Three rubber models Of udders
were attached to brass pipe, which
in turn was connected to a suction
pump. Ashton Garrett, 25, who
works on his fathers farm near
Ashton, attached the milking ma
chine to the pipe and went through
the motions of milking, while his
brother, Sandy. 20, explained the
various steps to the audience.
Signs on both sides of the stage
gave the rules for proper use of
the milking machine and for ham
ding the cows. Another sign
showed the interior of a COW. with
small figures representing the heart.
brain and muscles surrounding the
milk cells.
DR.. G. NJ Cairns, head of the
University of Maryland Dairy De-
partment, explained before the
demonstration that a COW is a crea-
ture OF habit and should be MIXED
at the same time every day. He
warned against treating the COW
roughly or "arousing its suspicious
by doing the unusual during milk
ing"
A large sign atop the stage GYM
nasium explained the purpose of
the show - ito encourage and
stimulate the saving of time and
labor for greater efficiency and re-
duction of drudgery on farms and
in homes"
Illustrating this aim were pictures,
posters, charts and graphs along
the walls of the gymnasium, and
farm devices on the floor. All ma
chimes bore signs emphasizing that

feed more people"

Rural ingenuity was shown In
several homemade devices, such as
a door opener, cattle dehorner and
cattle guard
The door opener, made by George
Fry, Laytonville, consisted of a
wooden post with an ordinary latch

the latch, the wire pulls the handle
and the door opens.

buckets.

ticed wood affair into which COW is
driven. It's horns can be cut off
when they protrude beyond the lat
tice work.
The cattle guard, designed to
prevent cattle from leaving the field
and crossing the road, was built by
vocational agricultural students at
Sherwood High School.
