began his campaign Monday

COLLEGE PARK, Md. -
Cool, wet weather has
slowed up strawberry
ripening this year in
Maryland. Luckily, there
have been no freezing
temperatures in major
growing areas to damage
early blossoms.
So those luscious har
bingers of the local fresh
fruit season are now turning
red in large quantities, even
though quality of berries in
the late ripening stage may
have been deteriorated
slightly by last week’s rainy
spell.
The famed strawberry
auction market at Princess
Anne (Somerset county) was
scheduled to open May 23 on
Maryland’s lower Eastern
Shore - nearly two weeks
later than normal.
Roadside stands and pick
your-own operations on the
western side of the
Chesapeake Bay probably
won’t have strawberries
available until Memorial
Day or early June - also two
weeks behind schedule.
Availability of Maryland
strawberries is expected to
be more uneven through
June than in most years, too,
because Midway, a popular
midseason cultivar, appears
to have suffered heavy
winter-kill. However, both
the early and late-season
strawberries are looking
good in most areas of the
state.
Fresh asparagus andV
spinach are already
available from some
growers. And a number of
locations should be offering
green peas by mid-June.
Whether one wants to
make up a family outing and
pick his own, or simply stop
by a roadside stand for fresh
produce, he can find
locations and telephone

Counties.
The 35-year-old dairy
numbers in two free
directories published by the
University of Maryland’s
Cooperative Extension
Service. These leaflets have
been updated annually for
six years.
Available for the first time
is a new statewide directory
listing sources of supply and
services in the realm of
farm-cured meat and
custom livestock
slaughtering.
Single copies of all three
leaflets may be picked up
from most public libraries
and from local county Ex
tension offices. One should
look for the following titles
on distribution racks:
Roadside Markets in
Maryland (AREIS No. 15);
Pick Your Own Fruits &
Vegetables in Maryland
(Extension leaflet 76); Facts
About Buying Meat (CES
“yellow sheet”).
Because of the expected
large volume of requests for
all three leaflets, one should
not expect to have copies
mailed. They must be picked
up in person.

farmer chose to announce
his campaign from three
farms located in Ms district.
In a prepared statement
Arnold expressed concern
for preserving the beauty
and character of the area.
“All our farm land need
not go under macadam for
our countries to grow and
develop,” he said. “Although
I would prefer to see in
dividuals handle the
problem of preserving land,
the problem is larger than
individuals. We need to take
a good hard look at
development rights and the
role that government can
play in them.”
The young fanner also
talked about the need to
strengthen the small towns
and communities of the
region, calling them “the
very soul of the district.”
“Property tax reform will
play an important part in
improving our com
munities,” Arnold said.
“For too long the state has
discussed and debated
various property tax relief
proposals without taking
positive action. Property
owners can no longer afford
to be the primary local
support of the school
system.”
He concluded by calling
for a change in leadership in
the 48th District.

“For too long the people of
the District have conceded
victory to my opponent
because they thought they
didn’t have a choice. This
year, I believe, it is time for
a change in the 48th
District.”
