TIMONIUM. Md. Sept. 5.-The
hens on exhibit at the Maryland
State Fair get stage fright and
can't lay.
The cows get bored and pump
out milk in hundred-gallon lots
Fair exhibitors say their 500
chickens, ducks and geese click
and cluck and fuss and fume as
they are gazed at by humans all
day long. Among them. they
come up with less than rs eggs
a day.
But their bovine neighbors non
chalantly flip their tails. chew
their cuds-and out gushes 100
gallons of milk a day.
However, the entire question is
academic.
With no marketing facilities
exhibitors sell the milk to nearby
concessions, scramble the eggs for
themselves or. more often, give
the days production the old
heaye-hO.

cles overtaking buses as well as
those approaching the buses from
