ing teachers salaries was of great
Importance and felt that the state
legislature would provide a minimum
of $4,000 for teachers with degrees,
and a maximum of $500. Garrett
county teachers receive approximately
5000 dollars per year less than the
average paid in the % counties.
He agreed that through the gener-
osity of someone Che didn't mention
who's the teachers would be paid $500
additional this year. Half of this
amount was paid during the past
week, he said.
In his opening remarks wherein he
explained the Set-up Of the Maryland
school system, he declared the sue
cess Of the school system depends in
a large degree upon the superinten-
dent"
*(Editor's note-The County Com
missioners levied this money in Janu-
ary The amount was recommended
earlier by the County Teachers As

far greater value. Many acres OF
Garrett Woodlands are now occupied
by stuff more or less like those
beeches-the dregs left when good
trees were cut. Nature, working
alone, would require many years to
convert these stands to good woods.
What we need to do is help nature
by cutting the undesirable ones. Ma
turally. this can be done on large
scale only if the value Of products
removed equals the cost Of the oper-
alton. unless the owner is willing to

of $4,000, to decrease the sizes of

school and educational service and to
make available of necessary state aid
for school buildings.
The eleven Republican Senators, in
Guiding Senator L. NJ. Fraley, Oak
land, by unanimous vote commended
the action of and expressed their ap-
probation to four Democratic Sen
ators, Byrnes, Sothoron, George and
Johnson, who concur with them, and
declared that they will give unanimous
support to the four Democratic SEN
ators to the end that the program as
submitted by DR.. Thomas G. Pullen,
Jr., and Hon. Tasker c. Lowndes is
enacted into law at this session Of
the legislature.

the things necessary-and economic
ally feasible--to get the products you
want. Just as is done for crop OF
pasture land. OF course, this isn't as
simple as it sounds. Neither is seed
ing grass or making hay.
Woodlands have often been likened
to bank accounts. The trees in the
stand are capital and the yearly
growth is interest. So, if the woods
does not have enough good growing
stock, the stock must be allowed to
build up. This does not necessarily
mean that no cutting should be done.
Our lack Of good cutting in the past
has taken out the good trees and has
left most Of the poor ones. These
crooked, lmby, defective trees, or
trees OF undesirable kinds take up a
lot Of room. They produce little or
nothing that is marketable.
Once, in Eastern Maryland, went
thru a farm woods with the owner
and two negro farm-hands to mark
trees for firewood. For years the
hands had gone to the woods to cut
wood. Naturally they had taken the
good young Oaks that were easy to
cut and work up. There was lot Of
poor stuff in that woods, but the
worst were some large limby beeches.
Altogether, they took up large area
on which nothing else could grow.
They were good for nothing but fire
wood. When we indicated that they
should be cut the darkies were scan
dalized. Lord Boss" one of them
said, eve been walking around those
trees for 80 years"
Good management would have re-
moved the beeches long ago, so the
ground could produce something Of

Judgment in our planning" There
will have been no reasonable or JUS
tifiable excuse for not having such a
program, that will do justice to our
entire school population" he added.
Earlier he had stated that the build
ing incentive program as proposed in
the Sherbow report, if enacted would
provide the necessary funds to take
care Of the building program over a
period Of years. The report provides
that through levying the maximum
Toe. tax BY the County Commissioners
the county would receive an additional
amount frQm the state so that the
county would have available the
equivalent of $50 for each pupil en-
rolled Through enactment of this
legislation approximately $4,000 dol
lars per year would become available
to the county for construction pur-
poses.
He advocated it would be wise to
obtain authority through legislation
to borrow a sufficient amount to pay
the expense of such program as it
becomes necessary, in order to meet
present needs for building construc-
ton. This can be accomplished in an
ticipation of funds that would be made
available in the State program, now
being considered by the legislature"
he said.

on leaving poor trees, after while
there will be nothing else. A field
covered with weeds can raise little in

3. Plan your cutting so that you do
not make large openings in the

+. Cut stumps low Practically all
Of our hardwoods grow stump
sprouts. The sprouts can make good
trees only if they come from low
stumps. Trees from high stumps are
about certain to have serious heart

5. Dense young stands should be
thinned as soon as they are large
enough that the Trimmings are mar
ketable.
If specific advise is needed in the
handling of woodlands, it can be
secured. The State Department Of
Forest and Parks employs a forester
who will examine woods and make
recommendations. The Soil Conser-
walton District also furnishes general
forestry recommendation to all
farmers cooperating in the District
Program.

Some More About Woodland
Management

No two persons would agree on
exactly which trees should be re-
moved from a timber stand. And no
two pieces OF woods are alike. But
there are several basic principles that
should be followed in most any wood
land. First, you must decide what you
want the woods to produce, based on
the site and on what growth is now
present. Then you must plan and do
