Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1958-08-19
BY Roscoe Whipp
Associate County Agent

1t was on a January eve
ming back in 1922 that a
group of nine boys in Mont
gomery County with little
money but a lot of enthusi-
asm, embarked on a venture
that has proved both fascinat-
ing and profitable down
through the years.
These boys had foresight
and a willingness to work.
Thus, through their efforts
and the influence of good lead
ership, they organized what
is still known today as the
Montgomery County All Jer-
sey Calf Club.
1t is a story of progress how
these young lads, many of them
successful dairymen today,
reached their present goals step
by step. They and their leaders
have laid the groundwork, and
laid it well, for this present gen.
GRAFTON of All boys and girls.
To follow the course of their
Journey it might be well to in.
troduce them and to relate some
of their accomplishments as ar
aid in visualizing how their
dreams came true. The nine char
ter members included Paul anc
Sidney Mills; Herman Volmer
Gordon, Russell, and Marvin I'm
stead; Aubrey Walters, anC
George and John Stiles. Officers
that first year We're Paul Mills
president; John Stiles, Wce-pres
ident, and Russell Umstead, sec
retary-treasurer. To guide then
safely through their first year
three local Jersey breeders il
Montgomery County accepted the
responsibility of leading the club
Those who served in this capac
ity were Frank Hutton, F. A
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1958-08-19

Heithmiller and Francis Brenniss.
In 1924 all nine boys purchased
Jersey heifers, and thus they
were on their way to adventure
and success. They worked hard
this first year and when the show
season rolled around all nine of
the boys exhibited their calves at
the County Fair in Rockville.
John Stiles was among the group
participating in this event, and
when he came home that year he
was extremely proud of having
had the Grand Champion Animal
in both the All and the open
classes. Seven of the boys went
on to exhibit their animals at
the State Fair, and did quite well.
So it was that they ended their
first year in club work
A New Member
In 1925 the club gained a new
member, several of the boys pur-
chased a second calf and inter
est continued to grow. 1t was
much the same pattern of events
in 1926 and in 1927 new ac-
tivity was initiated. From 1927
until the outbreak of World War
II, it became a policy of the club
to hold one-day Jersey tours. This
was a trip throughout the county
giving everyone an opportunity
to visit and to comment about
each others projects.
In glancing back over the rec.
ords, we find an account of a
member who enrolled back in
1928. 1t is the story of a boy from
Oklahoma, who struck out on his
own at the age of II, after the
untimely death of his father and
mother. How he wendell his way
from the West first to West Vir
ginia, and how he finally settled
in Montgomery County, Mary
land. This young chap was none
other than Allie Messer who came
to live with the Volmer's in the
late 1920's.
While living with them, he be

Groundwork for Today's All
Laid BY Calf Club in 1922

came interested in Jerseys, en-
rolled in club work, and became
one of the outstanding club mem
bers in the state in his time. In
1882 he exhibited the first prize
heifer calf at the Maryland State
Fair, he was once delegate to
the National All Club camp, for
a number of years he was a
member of the County Dairy
Judging Team and today he ranks
among the better dairymen in the
County.
When asked what he thought
about All club work recently,
Messer said, my All club work
has been a real pleasure, it has
meant a great deal to me in the
way of education, future occu-
patton, and it has broadened by
contacts with many good agri-
cultural folks. Last, but not least,
Jerseys were the real basis for
my getting started in All club
work"
Time marched on and through
the years the members blaZed
a neverIto-be-forgotten trail in a.
H club work. The club members
were largely instrumental in or
ganizing the Montgomery County
Jersey Field Day back in 1929,
several of them have been men,
bers of the State Dairy Judging
Team, and many of them have
gone out and established them
selves as breeders of Jerseys.
Those who earned the honor and
enjoyed the privilege of being
members of the State Judging
team were as follows: John
Stiles, Rockville, 1927; Lee Howes,
Gaithersburg, 1881; Frank Stiles,
Rockville, 1910; w. /. King.
Gaithersburg, 1910; Charles
Stiles, Rockville, 1912; George
Fry, Laytonsville, 1916; and Stan
ley Stiles of Rockville, in 1916.
All five of the aforementioned
Stiles boys are brothers.
Today as we look in on some
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1958-08-19

of the former 4-club members in
Montgomery County we cannot
fail to mention those great Jer-
sey enthusiasts, the Stiles broth
ers. John Stiles of Rockville at
the present time is serving his
second year as president of the
Maryland Jersey Cattle Club and
doing a magnificent job, Robert
Stiles of Rockville, president of
the Montgomery County Jersey
Cattle Club, and George A. Stiles
of Boonsboro, is president of the
Washington County Jersey Cattle
Club. What a remarkable record
for one family of Jersey breeders.
AS proof that the club has
grown and shown progress from
the time of its organization un-
til the present, it now has %
members who own a total of n
purebred Jerseys. The leadership
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1958-08-19

of the club is vested in good
hands, namely that of John Stiles
who is ably assisted by Robert
Stiles, and George Fry, both Jer-
sey club members themselves for
a ten-year period.
In summing up, the success of
the club has been largely due to
good leadership, the splendid CO.
operation which the breeders
have given, and to the willing.
ness on the part of the boys and
girls to work and to work hard.
These former and present All
boys and girls must have felt
at one time or another much like
Whittier did when he wrote:
The tissues of life to be
We G0eave avith coIors all our
OlCn,
And the field of destiny
We reap as a0e haze soG0n.

DEAR MISTER EDITOR:

We used to have just three
kinds of business. 1t was good,
or it was bad, or We was having
a panic.
Now we got recessions, depres-
sions, booms, high plateaus, low
plateaus, and middle plateaus,
just to name a few. It's hard fer
a country Teller to know exactly
what kind of fix he's in with all
that going on.
Right now, fer instant, the pa
pers is saying we're having a
slight recession. l reckon that
means things is Citing more
plentiful and money. Citing more
amt. Unless it gifts too amt, the
situation might not be as bad as
we think.
Back during the war when we
was having one of them booms,
when things was scarce and
money plentiful, things was pref
ty bad. / remember going to
town one day with Ed to buy
hisself pair of pants. I'll never
forgit seeing him coming down
the street in his underwear. He
not only didn't git no Pants, but
they was so scarce the Teller in
the store traded him, out of the
pair he had on.
When things wasn't so good,
the one-pants Teller could drive
up to a pressing place, toot his
horn and somebody would come
out and git his plants, press 'em
and be back in a jiffy. Right
after the war, when we was hav-
ing one Of them ''high plateau"

had q bouncer, and when you
finally did git in, you'd git

MRS. CAROLINE MIDGETTE of
Manteo, who observed her ninety
first birthday on March 18th, has
the distinction of being Roanoke
Islands oldest resident. She con-
tinues to be surprisingly active
however, and still performs chores
that many women half her age shy
away from.
Mrs. Midgette has always lived
an active life, having been married
at II years of age and raised five
children. She has also been a de-
voted member and supporter of the
church, having joined the Meth
odist Church while she was still a
small child. Her loyalty to the
church is demonstrated by her
proudly telling that since her mar
riage August IL. 1884, she has
continuously subscribed to the
North Carolina Christian Advocate
without missing single issue. The
Advocate is only portion of the
large quantity of reading material
that she regularly digests each
week. She frequently sews, reads
and writes letters far into the
night, but no matter how late she
is occupied with other things, she
will not retire without having COM
pleted her daily Bible reading.
