DR.. Hoyt predicts that the
Rockville district will nearly
triple its population this decade.
The same thing, he forecasts,
will happen to the Potomac dis
trict in the 1905.
COlesviIle, on the eastern side
OF the county, is undergoing such
a growth at this time.
HOMES: For the last six years
new homes have gone up in the
county at the rate of nearly
5000 a year.
The trend last year was to-
ward a higher-priced home by
about 10 per cent, according to
building permits issued. New
home construction last year was
valued on permits at $50 million.
Primary influences in this
growth are the vast programs of
highway construction and sewer
line installations.
HIGHWAY AND SEWER: The
l5,000-acre Cabin John Valley
area is being opened to develop
ment now by the installation of
a trunk sewer line. Extension of
the Rock Greek line to Gathers
burg, northwest of Rockville, and
similar extensions in the eastern
part of the county are squirting
development.
Construction of the Million
dollar-a-mile National pike from
Frederick to Washington is hav-
ing as great an influence on the
county and its economy as any
development since the Baltimore
& Ohio Railroad bisected it in
the last century.
The dual-lane expressway is
cutting sharply the travelling
time from the upper county to
Washington and opening new
areas for home construction.

communities closer together and

Government buildings in neigh
boring Virginia and Prince

Improvement of radial avenues
leading to and from downtown
Washington is encouraging the
movement into the communities
on the western side of the county
and the Colesville area.
The State Roads Commission,
in its 12-year road program. calls
for making four-lane, divided
roads of Massachusetts avenue,
Wisconsin avenue. Connecticut

FAMILY TYPE: Montgomery's
residential development ranges
from moderate-priced homes to
larger residential estates.
The county's population is
marked by its youth. The medi-
an age in 1850 was 29.5 years
old. The average family size
was 3.5. The largest age groups
was IN the f-2-year-old bracket.
This youthful population has
given the county zest that eX-
plodes into community activity
and interest in government.
Parents are extremely active in
parent-teacher association work,
civic associations. service groups
and politics.
The demand for services has
been tremendous, county officials
will tell you.
PUBLIC SERVICES: For ex-
ample, the county has spent
nearly $48 million in the last six
years in local, State and Federal
funds for new schools.
And this year, the Board of
Education is asking for a record
breaking $12 million more to
meet the surge of students into
the secondary schools.
About 80 cents out of every tax
dollar in the county goes to
schools.
Demands for sidewalks, new
and close inspection and
regulation of business, building
and coming are being met rapidly
and fairly effectively.

Never buy untagged lespedeza
seed, says Joe Newcomer, Uni
versity of Maryland extension
seed specialist. If you do, you
may be headed for trouble, he
says.
Many farmers have cleaned
their own seed and are selling
it to their neighbors This seed,
if not properly cleaned may be
highly contaminated with objec-
tionable weed seeds. Some farm
ers have their seeds checked for
noxious weeds and purity and in
buying seed from his ne.ghbor, a
farmer should consult this re
port.
The report will tell the farmer
if he is buying good seed. To be
on the safe side, Mr. Newcomer
says, Your chances of buying
good seed are much better if you
buy from a reliable seed dealer. +"

ested for seed in 1855 were heavy

State seed laws require tagging
of all seed that is offered for
sale, Mr.. Newcomer says. A COM
plete analysis of the seed must
be indicated on the tag. If farm

through a local newspaper or
puts it on the market in any way,
the seed must be tested and tag

Corn Crop
'Take-Over
Date May Is

All corn placed under govern.
ment loan or under a purchase
agreement contract on the 1855
crop will be taken over by the
Commodity Credit Corporation in
Maryland on May Is instead of
May 81, according to Chester S.
Bradley chairman of the Mary
land Agricultural Sterilization
and Conservation Committee.
This change now means that
Maryland farmers must apply at
their local ASC office on or be-
fore April IS if they wish to OBJ
tain a loan or purchase agree
ment on their 1855 corn crop. IN
der CCC regulations farmers
must apply for their loans one
month before the government
takes over the corn.
The take-over date has been
moved up, Mr.. Bradley said, so
that the corn may be moved
through local dealers and han
oilers before the seasonal rush on
other small grains. In this way,
the corn can be moved without
delay and without loss of grade
due to insect infestation or bad
weather.
Mr.. Bradley also reminds Mary.

last date for applying for wool
payments under the 1855 pro.
