Not all the forces at in of having the
sale of whiskey egazed in this countynot by long shot
Yesterday the legislators presented with petitions
signed by 22OO individuals requesting bill favorng
the sale of Whskey and wines. Whether not the
legitimate Garrett county residents could not
be ascertained.
But the time the desks of the legislators We're
being swamped with letters in opposition such BILL Sons
church groups taking action and people who ordinarily
do themselves with politics getting stirred
up and Wrathful.
There are those in this county who tolerate the legal
sale Of beer but the question is being stirred they
beginning demand that if people referendum
whiskey, then they opportunity to vote the
beer question too
Plain facts the egalized sale of whiskey would
cost more administer than any amount of that
would be obtained through licenses and tax There is little
likelihood that any bill would be approved by the State egs
laure giving county unit the whskey sold Statistics
revenue from whskey but it took three billion to
try to enforce the laws.
There would still be those who would bootleg There
would still be those who would abide by laws Past
perence is full of samples Of this.
Immediately there would be the need for expenditure
of more than $4,000 for special election, if the bill they
want was passed Then liquor board Of three would require
$4,000 and inspector would get $1,000 Enforcement costs
would be additional.

occur as result of the effects Of drunkenness If could
get look at the Welfare the proportion might
well hold true LOCALIZED liquor wouldn't improve such con-
ditionS.
There are many people the county sincerely interested
in attracting the tourist trade who feel that having liquor is
not dominant factor They hope the Legislators will think
long and carefully before accedng demand Tor egls

Program For Farm
People Scheduled
Specialists viii Discuss Latest
Scientific Information
Available at Meeting

a meeting of farm people to hear
up to date scientific information on
farming enterprises applicable to
this area, has been scheduled for
Thursday, February 10.
The meeting will be held in the

John H. Carter, county agricul-
tural agent, pointed out that each
year similar meetings are held
among the farmers who hear Elk
tension specialists and county eX-
tension personnel. Carter said the
best part of the program has been
the question and discussion period
that follows the talks.
He announced topics for discus
sion this year to include dairying,
entomology and agronomy. The
specific themes: daiiying-"It's in
the Bag" with John Dietrich, eX-
tension dairyman, University of
Maryland, as discussion leader
Entomology-"Ycar Round Pro-
gram of Insect Control with
Theodore L. Bisscll, extension en-
tomologist, University, as discus
sion leader.
Agronomy-"Grass and Forage
Production on the Farm with
Stanley Stablor, extension agrono-
mist, University of Maryland, as
discussion leader.
Mr.. Carter said he would like to
have frank expression from farm
people as to the program next
year. Previously there have been
two county meetings, with only one
scheduled for this year. He hoped
people would express their prefer
ence. If two meetings are held they
would be in the Grantsvillc and
Oakland areas.

Strip Mining Near Pleasant Valley

Counscls Opinion Sought
The opinion of counsel for the
Department of Agriculture in

Soil Conservation Service in Up

administrators of the area want
to know the extent Of their iuris-

upon their control of mineral

The problem arose a few weeks
ago when private operators began
strip mining on property adjoining
the recreation area, Nh Magruder
said
administrators refused to allow
such operations in the area proper,
believing that they have control of
surface rights under the terms of
the Governments purchase and the

CaulifOwer Growers
Plan 1853 Program
Favorable Opportunities For
Vegetable Production Are
Pointed Out

More than 40 people met at a
luncheon at the William James
hotel Tuesday to make plans for
The cauliflower production program
for 1858.
After remarks and comments
from r. l.. Winklepleck, horticul-
tural agent, b. and O. Railroad, on
progress for the past two years,
and future prospects, c. w. Porter
presented, in chart form, marketing
information showing that there
were favorable opportunities for
vegetable production in this county.
1t was especially emphasized by
John Carter, county agent, that
the vegetable production enterprise
promises to be good cash crop
for farm folk, and a good enter
prise for the business people in
the county.
Last years growers told the
group of their experiences in the
program. An exceptional yield
which brought a net profit of $500
for less than one acre Of ground,
was told, while another reported
net profit of $l25 per acre with all
the labor having been hired. The
average prospect for every par
ticipant was set at $50 per acre,
after expenses had been deducted.
The group decided to work to-
gethcr as a group in 1853. They
hope to employ an experienced
marketing man to handle the har-
vcsting, grading and selling Of the
crop. To follow the above procedure,
it is essential that relatively
large acreage be enrolled in the
program. The larger the acreage,
the greater will be the net income
pei individual, it was pointed out.
The closing date to enroll in the
program is February 18th, at 500
p. m, at meeting in the EXten-
sion office, Post office building,
/ Oakland.
Anyone interested and desiring
more information about the pro
gram, should contact any Of the
following; f. K. O'Donnell, Mt.
Lake Park; Roscoe Swiger, Oak
land; John II. Carter, county agent,

County Group
Asks Delegates
For Whiskey Bill
Mayor limbaugh Leads Com
mittee To Annapolis To
Outline Referendum
Proposal

Mayor Joseph limbaugh, of
Oakland, led a delegation to An
napolis yesterday afternoon to try
to persuade the Garrett county
legislators to introduce bill to
legalize the sale of wbiskey in
this county.
Accompanying him were Rus
sell Smith, Oakland; Troy Friend,
Uniontown, Pa. Dorsey Guard,
Friendsville; Ward limbaugh,
Oakland; Earl Railey, Deep Creek
Lake; and Floyd Leighton, Oak
land.
Copy of proposed bill was pre-
scented to Senator Neil c. Fraley
and Delegates Harry c. Edwards,
Arthur II. Green and George Z.
i Coddington, which proposed that
the sale of whiskcy by the drink
at bars and by the bottle in county
operated stores be legalizcd.
The bill also would call for
referendum on the whiskey ques-
tion in May of this year, at
special election.
Swamped With Opposition
In the meantime Senator Fraley
said yesterday he had been
swamped with opposition to such
move. He said his desk was piled
high with mail against the legal
lied sale, with most of the writing
opponents being women. Hine-
baugh's delegation presented petit
lions on which he claimed were p
22S names.
County Dry Since 1911
Garrett Coumtians voted in pro-
| hibition in 1914. In 1885 they APP
proved the sale of beer by a MAORI
Ity of $40. TIE county collects
around $500 a year from licenses
and a beer tax, and is the only
county in the state where the tax
on bottle caps goes directly to the
county funds. A similar tax on
whiskey would be highly unlikely
due to state opposition.
Mayor limbaugh says the
county is FORGETTING additional reve-
nue. from the sale Of whiskey be-
cause Garrett Countians are going
to nearby West Virginia and Penn
sylvania to buy it anyway. He also
said that legal whiskey sales would
help the tourist trade which the
county is promoting.
The exact wording OF the bill as
presented to the legislators was
not available, but among the pro-
visions are stipulatons for the
naming of control board with a
salary of $4,000 for the chairman,
and $500 each for two other men,
bers; the naming of a manager
inspector with salary of $500
