County large revenues, and in maxi
ing the Washington County Peach
orchards famous In many states.
Some time after the first great
surge Of peaches from these orchards,
there was a lull in the industry To-
cally Great orchards had been set
out, and the harvest was being reap
ed. But IL still remained for the
owners to learn some of the details.
AS the trees aged, they became
more subject to disease, and in many
orchards the owners suddenly found
themselves with no producing peach
trees But in time. this was rem
edied, and a wise system of replant-
ing, and better care in many other
ways, have advanced the business
to a lasting place among the other
industries of our County
With the success of the peaches,
oreherdists. as we'll as nurserymen,
tried other products in the South
Mountain soil, and also in other
types of soils found In our County
As result, we have extensive apple
orchards, and the melon patches. as
well as other special crops, which
had their start In the crop studies
that followed the successful begin
ming of the Peach on South Noun
tain
About the same time that the
peach began TO attract so much at
tention, there was a move to start an
organization that has lived through
the years, and that led TO what we
call the "Hagerstown Fair" In 1907
the first Agricultural Society of
Washington County was formed by
an act of The Assembly, and the first
officers were: president. Thomas
Sprigg; secretary, Frisby Tilghman;
and treasurer, Charles Carroll
These were Joined by William Fitz-
hugh. John Thompson Mason, Sam
uel Ringgold and Martin Kershner TO
conduct a lottery to raise funds for
the society's activities
Al second organization replaced
this one in 1897 And in 1854 the
charter Of incorporation was grant
ed to the Agricultural and Mechen-
ical Association Of Washington Coun-
ty. incorporates were David Brum-
baugh, John Ash, Lewis p. Fiery,
James Coudy, Jacob Fiery, Martin
Startzman, John H, lleyser, Henry
K. Tice and Marmaduke W. Boyd.
The first Fair Grounds were To-
Gated in the southwest part Of Ha-
gerstown, along the Williamsport
pike. In 1871 the fair grounds were
moved to the Cearfoss pike to a
piece of ground. bought from Rich
ard Wise. But is was necessary for
most of the Hagerstown people to
cross the two railroad tracks to reach
the fair grounds, and because of this
and other reasons, 30 acres were
bought from George Harris, and the
Fair grounds moved to its present To-
cation in 1880.
The long continued success Of the
Hagerstown Fair has been in part
attributed to the insight of the Fairs
first manager, William Updegraff,
who took his office Immediately at
ter the Incorporating Mr.. Upde-
graft reasoned that II every farmer
of Washington County came to the
fair, there would still not be enough
to make il pay So from the start,
features were added to attract the
general public, and this move prov
ed to a wise one for the future of the

HORSE AND
BUGGY DAYS
by
Ida 10 Martin

Pass the Peaches, please And
the chances are fairly good that II
we could trace the peaches back Ia
the tree, they were grown right here
In Washington County
But our peach growing industries
are not the result Of an accident, nor
did the settlers find the orchards al
ready growing. In fact the local
peach orchards had their start just
a century and half ago.
There were a number Of intel
ligent farmers living along the slopes
of the mountain back of Smithsburg,
and north into Pennsylvania, who
took special note of the soil on the
foothills of the mountains They
had talked with nurserymen about
this soil, and one year a nurseryman
had a number Of peach trees he could
not sell So this man, a Mr.. Nit
chell Slower, whose nursery was
near Greencastle, got in touch with
his friends along the mountain, and
suggested that they make an expert
ment on their mountain slopes, by
planting his surplus peach trees. Mr..
Slower himself had some land in this
area, and the experiment was tried
on his land, and on The lands of John
A. Nicodemus, William D. Hughes,
and others.
As soon as the trees were large
enough TO bear fruit, the success of
the experiment was proven. The
mountain soil seemed to be ideally
suited for this crop. The peaches
grown here appeared to be better in
appearance, and in flavor and Of
course soon commanded better prices
on the market And II seemed that
on the slopes Of the mountain, the
trees found little protection from
frosts.
So in short time peaches were
planted far and wide. There were
many, many acres that had been
numbered over, and because of the
peculiar nature of the soil. the land
had been left as worthless. Now
this land suddenly was in demand.
Peach trees set out in this area num-
bered into the hundreds of thou
sands. Two brothers, Emory pry
and his brother, who lived near
Keedysville on shoulder of Elk
Ridge Mountain, set out what was at
that time the largest orchard in all
OF Maryland, containing over 50,-
600 trees.
With the growth of the industry,
many new methods were introduced
to help produce more saleable and
more abundant crops. This includ-
ed such things as the cultivation of
the ground beneath and around the
trees, fertilizing, care of the trees,
and later spraying And there were
improvements too in the ways of
handling, packing and shipping, The
use Of the refrigerated car was a
big help TO spreading the market
over a wider area, and the Noun
tain Peaches" became well known
and were in demand over quite a
large area
Then it was found that one va
riety, the Heath Cling, when grown
in the orchards of the Washington
County South Mountain area, did
not ripen till some time after the
usual varieties were all gone. This
gave the local orchardists another
advantage, that of having almost a
monopoly on the late market, and
was help too, in bringing into this

that the woman who is not blind
ed by infatuation is better capable
Of estimating a mans real worth
and deciding if he measures up to
her standards and suits her tastes.
She knows really how much they
have in common. Furthermore,
She is less critical and fault f1nd-
ing with the man whom she mere
ly likes than she is of the one
whom she loves, because it is the
curse of love that it demands per-

from all the pangs of jealousy that

DEAR MISS DIX: My husband
works days and on the side plays
in an orchestra at night, some
times two and three nights a week.
When I think Of his being out
where things are gay while am
at home it makes me feel as If I
am missing something. My hus-
band can't understand why I
should feel this way. for he says
he only takes these extra jobs for
the money. I have no children.
What would you do if you were
me? MUSICIANS WIFE.
Answer: I would try to use some
common sense in dealing with the
situation and thank Heaven that
I had a husband who was enough
of a go-getter and industrious
enough to be working overtime to
make more money for me.
The best thing for you to do is
to have q baby. Then you would

Love Is No Guarantee of Happiness;
MARRIAGE of Convenience Often Safe Bet

. DEAR MISS DIX: am a busi-
ness woman Of 80. I am alone In
the world. earn a salary that en-
ables me to live comfortably. but
not to lay up much for the future.
A man whom I respect and admire
very much but with whom I am
not in love wants to marry me.
We have much the same back
ground and for many years have
been congenial friends. He can
offer me the things I can never
get for myself. Do you think that
q marriage without thrills and
without any deep feeling would
bring me happiness? AIRLINE.
Answer: Being Of a romantic
and sentimental nature, I always
feel that nothing but love can
make marriage worth while. But
all of us have seen boys and girls
marry on a tidal wave Of passion
that broke against the rocks Of
matrimony and receded. leaving
them stranded on the shores Of the
divorce court. Even love cannot
stand a basic lack of congeniality
nor common purpose. Nor can it
survive coldness, nor neglect, nor
unkindness, nor selfishness. Nor
always does it survive poverty.
It is because love does not guar
antee the happiness Of marriage
that the marriage OF convenience
often seems q safer bet. In that,
at least, one makes ones choice
with ones head instead Of ones
heart and one is guided by rea-
son instead Of emotion. Financial
considerations that seem 50 tri-
fling In romantic counting days
and that are so all-important
when household bills come in
have their appointed place in the
marriage Of convenience. and help
