Tobacco

The 1913 production of the four
major types of tobacco will drop
about rs per cent below this year
if farmers carry out production
control programs announced by the
Secretary of Agriculture. To meet
the threat of unmarketable sur
oluses and the loss of important
export markets, marketing total
of about 1,500,O00,000 pounds for
flue-cured, hurley, dark air-cured
and fire-cured tobacco has been set
up. The combined production of
these types this year was about
2,00O,000,000 pounds.

Dear Editor:
The Montgomery County Histor.
zeal Society desires through the
columns of your paper to draw the
attention of Montgomery Coun-
tians, both old and new, to the pur-
poses and aims of our Society. We
have a young but interesting or
ganization whose main purpose is
to collect and preserve the records,
relics and mementos of our county.
You may not know that the In
terror Department has recently ac-
quired title to the grounds and old
Tavern at Great Falls and plans to
restore it as it was in old colonial
days.
The Department plans to thor
cughly renovate and restore this
old tavern and to establish there a
public restaurant and an Indian
Museum. The old tavern is of great
historic significance and is close by
one of Marylands scenic wonders.
The Great Falls of the Potomac.
The Department has generously
offered our Society rooms there for
q, separate Montgomery exhibit !;
these to be at all times under the
supervision and care of competent
custodians.
At a large and enthusiastic
meeting of the Society held last
Thursday, at the home Of DR.. and
Mrs. Gilbert Grosvenor, commit
tee was appointed with power to
cooperate with the Interior De-
partment and to proceed to collect
and classify as far as possible all
available relics and records in the
county.
The committee is headed by John
N. Bentley, Sandy Spring, chair
man; Mrs. Rudolph Bopp, 5160
Shoemaker Lane, Bethesda, secre-
tary; Judge Stedman Prescott,
Rockville; Richard H. Lansdale,
Sandy Spring; Ralph F. Wilcoxen,
1908 Rayburn Road, Bethesda;
Mrs. Joseph F. Betterly, 1904
Moorland Lane, Bethesda, and Will
liam S. Parkins of Poolesville.
We therefore appeal to the resi-
dents of Montgomery County to go
through attics and store rooms and
if you find any thing historically
significant which you are willing to
bestow on our Society, will you
kindly get in touch with the chair
man or the member of this conn
mittee nearest you and list what
you have with them? We feel sure
if all these relics could be gathered
together we can have a museum
equal to our neighboring counties
of Frederick, Carroll or Washing
ton.
We feel also that much valuable
stuff has already been lost to pos
terity, but let us now get busy be-
fore it is too late to save what is
still left in our homes and out of
the way places.
While at first we may not have
room for more than the smaller
relics we desire to list everything
available, such as period furniture,
old china and pewter ware, farm
machinery, in fact, anything that
may be of historical Importance,
so that these too, may be safely
stored until more room is assured.
We further wish to invite all in
terested in our plans to join our
organization. You will be heartily
welcomed to assist in this very
worthwhile project.
Very sincerely yours,
r. BENTLEY THOMAS,
President, Montgomery County

Christensen Raises
Wheat on New Ground

Kit Clifford this week was dis
playing some nice looking wheat
that was brought in by Chris
Christensen from Badger. The
straw is two feet long and heads
are well filled. The wheat was
grown on some land that has not
produced a crop for 80 years.
Found to be Improbable for
farming i'm those days the land
has been used since for sheep
grazing. This year Chris and his
SON took another try with APP

A trip to Plymouth with Pub
