mortal hospital, Cumberland, but his
physicians have ordered that he re-
main quiet and take no active part in
politics and community projects.

for Garrett county for twelve years,
and is chairman of the Selective Ser
vice Board of this county. He was
also former member of the Republic
can State Central committee, and was

convention from Maryland last sum-
mer.
Members of the Republican COM
mittee were aware, as we'll as a num-
Der of citizens, of the Importance of
having this county represented in the
upper branch of the general assembly,
which would not have been possible,
had not Senator Lawrence NJ. Fraley
resigned. Fraley's term of Senator
runs for two more years.
There will be two representatives
in the House of Delegates, Jasper c.
Myers and George E. Coddington.
The third member, Ronald E. McIn-
tire, will not attend early sessions
due to a heart attack, but is expect
ing to be able to attend some of the
later meetings.
Fraley arrived at the State House
at Annapolis at 7:40 p. m. yesterday,
carrying with him Lawrences resig-
nation and his own endorsement from
the Republican committee. He was met
at the State House entrance by Mi
nority leader Robert Kimble, of AL
legany county, who escorted him to
the Governors office. The Governor
had Fraley's appointment all ready
so that the new Senator could be
sworn in Immediately after the legi5-
| lature convened.
He commented last night that he
hoped he "can do as good a job repre-
senting the people of Garrett County
as my brother has"

County Agent Reports
On Activities in 1913
Annual Accounting Is Compiled
for Extension Service-RecOm-
mends Long Time Program

A complete report of the activities
of the County Agricultural agent,
John H. Carter, was recently COM
piled and copy sent to extension
headquarters at College Park.
The program of work in 1913
throughout Garrett county included
agricultural engineering, agronomy,
animal husbandry, dairy husbandry,
economics, entomology, forestry, All
club work, horticulture, plant path
ology and poultry.
Mr.. Carter reported supervising a
number of variety demonstrations III
regard to oats in the county, and
declared that potato production in the
county was leveling off in acres to
what was thought of as most efficient
use of the land.
Land planted to potatoes is left
uncovered for approximately six
months during the winter" he said,
and added that Teaching and erosion
take a heavy fertility toll from. the
land"
He recommended that ground
planted to potatoes be especially sell
ected land that will be damaged as
little as possible during the winter.
He recommended a smaller acreage
on especially selected land with more
efficient production program, to main
! tain production and lower the acre
age.
He felt that Al club members
could we'll take the lead in potato
production improvement, and stated
that an attempt would be made next
year to establish some efficient prof
ects to bring before the producer the
land use problem as well as efficiency
in production.
Mr.. Carter stressed production of
good pastures and other forage crops
and the production of beef and dairy
cattle, the latter industry continuing
to make marked improvement. One
hundred eighty farmers are members
of two artificial breeding cooper
atives.
The report showed that members of
the Dairy Herd Improvement associ-
alton No. l showed average produc-
ton among their herds of 6,138
pounds of milk and 1928 pounds of
butterfat last year in comparison to
6,565 pounds of milk and 307.5 pounds
of butterfat with an average increase
of four hundred twenty-seven pounds
of milk and twenty-five and two
tenths pounds of butterfat.
In concluding that the harvest III
| the county was from fair to good,
Mr. Carter observed that labor prob
lens cause the farming operations
generally to be held within the limits
of the amount of labor that can be
supplied by the family. He recon-
mended longtime agricultural
program to include a balanced farm
program to include conservation of
natural resources, desirable social
and recreational activities which rural
| people have a right to expect. 1t is
important that the program provide
for the necessary income for farmers
to maintain the farm as an economic
al unit as well as to achieve high
standard of rural living.
