Mill Shut;

Arnold, Schwartz,
DerWOOd Owners.
Join Quaker Oats

Plans to rebuild the DerWood
Mill, ravaged by a 100000 fire
June Z, were, dropped this week
when the owners joined the
Quaker Oats Company.
Harry P. Arnold, president, and
Richard T. Schwartz, vice presi.
dent, announced they will con.
tinue to supervise the sale and
manufacture Of several we'll
known speciality feeds formerly
manufactured at the Derwood
plant.
Probably the best known was
their Derwood Horse Crunch, the
trade mark of which is regis
tered in the United States patent
office. This feed was shipped to
all parts of the United States as
well as foreign countries.
Derwood Horse Crunch will be
available to horse owners thru
the distribution facilities of The
Quaker Oats Company in all
parts of the country. The feed
research and quality control ia
cilities of The Quaker Oats Com
pany will be utilized to maintain
constant high quality and uni
formity in this famous feed for
fine horses.
In addition to complete line
of feeds for poultry, dairy cows
beef cattle and hogs, the DerWood
Mills manufactured pelleted feeds
for rabbits, white mice and rats,
dogs, horses and hampsters.
These speciality feeds were used
in many nationally known labor.
atories and university medical
schools over the United States.
Arnold and Schwartz purchased
the old Derwood Milling Com
pany, which had been standing
idle for two years, from the
Montgomery County National
Bank in 1925. Flour, as we'll as
feed, was manufactured up to
1913, at which time it was con-
verified entirely to the manufac-
ture of feed. AS the feed business
expanded the mill was equipped
with modern labor saving devices
and the latest developments in
feed machinery design. A new
unit for storage, and equipped to
manufacture and load feeds in
bulk would have been put into
operation the week the mill was
destroyed by fire.

miscellaneous category which in.
cludes dogs, boats, assessments
plus dozens of other cash OUTLAWS.
The next two categories where
large amounts of money are
spent-both representing about
the same amount-are meals and
lodging, and fishing tackle. The
remaining major headings are
firearms and ammunition, the
former being almost 2l2 times
greater.
Numerically, Orr continued,
Maryland hunters and fishermen
represent about eight per cent of
the states population. The money
they spend for licenses makes the

Even with this gigantic contri.
button to the nations economy,
he said, outdoorsmen do not
measure what they get out Of
hunting and fishing in dollar
terms. In Maryland, for exam
pie, the $500 members of the
League of Maryland Sportsmen,
representing more than 70 clubs
throughout the state, have been
maintaining an expanding pro.
gram for the conservation and
development of natural resources
and the education Of its citizens
young and old-in a constant en-.
deavor to preserve and develop
these dWindling resources.
The Leagues membership will
grow proportionately with the
public's aWareness of the need
for conservation, Orr predicted.
Because of the minimum dues
collected each year, the League
has had TO lok towards private
contributions to continue its pro.
gram of conservation, education
and youth activities, he explained.

Maryland's Hunters, Fishermen
Spending $158 Million Annually

Marylanders are spending more
money on hunting and fishing
than baseball, football, racing
and all other spectator sports
combined, an executive of the
League of Maryland Sportsmen
declared here today.
Russell S. Orr, executive direc.
tor of the group, partially based
his opinion on figures recently re-
leased by the Maryland Game
and Inland Fishing commission.
The report shows that 265,224 IL
censeS were sold last year with a
total income to the state of $780,.
612.50.
Slightly more than half the
the number of licenses sold
more than ever before-were for
hunting.
Also referring to an article in
Sports AfeId Magazine, Orr fur
Their stated that a competent sur.
vey has shown that the average
U. S. outdoor sports enthusiast
spends at least S999.81 per year
on his hobby. This" he said,
would seem to be a conservative
figure for hunting and fishing in
a state such as Maryland.
"If the figure can be prorated
for Maryland, the states hunters
and fishers probably spend more
than $158,000,000 annually"
Again referring to the national
magazine, Orr said that total eX.
penditures by U. S. sportsmen,
when compared with Department
of Commerce records, are great.
er than all sales by retail drug.
stores, about four times the take
of jewelry stores. and more than
the income of all gasoline filling
stations. The survey also shows
that what sportsmen spend is
double the value of allhogs on
farms and approximately half
the capital sales of all cattle.
A further breakdown shows
that they spend the second great.

cy March of Dimes now in prog,

County polio funds are virtual
ly exhausted although medical ex
perience indicates that the di
sease may strike in force until
the latter part of September.
Harding asked residents to
give generously to the March
which has sent out $1,000 letters
to as many County residents out
lining the need for funds.
From Aug. IS to Sept. Is last
year, 80 polio cases were report
ed in the County. To face a pos
sible repeat performance this
year, the County polio treasury
has but $1,000 in its treasury
County officials estimate that al
least $4,000 is needed to finish
out the year with safety.
While the trend may change al
any time, records to date indicate
that only nine polio cases have
been reported thus far this year
in the County compared with GO
cases in 1858.
Contributions may be sent in
