Mason Dixon line survey work advances on border markers
Bayliff reports progress tracing Mason and Dixon boundary stones along the Maryland Pennsylvania border in Washington County. The line extends from near Highfield to near Aideling Hill with markers once every mile then stretched at Sideling Hill. Missing stones have been replaced since the original survey, and restoration may finish today or tomorrow, reducing future interstate hunting and fishing disputes.

Infestations in Weverton and Brownsville areas prompt continued spraying and trapping. Experts note the mild winter may have helped beetle survival, while ground frost timing could curb numbers.

Great Dreuth Hit Here Just 20 Years Ago in 1930 Heat
A long heat wave devastated farms and wildlife across Maryland and neighboring states. A 20-year-old hog and a 20-pound turkey perished from the heat near Adem Baer and Leon Yourtee. Rabbits near Woodmont Rod & Gun Club died, and a tinder-dry hay field on Barr farm burned. Drouth committees formed in August 1930 to mitigate conditions as 49 days without measurable rain preceded a light shower on August 14 with little follow up. Estimates pegged crop damage at Maryland 40,600,000 and Kentucky 100,000,000. President Hoover convened governors in Washington to study relief options. A massive Elk Ridge forest fire burned 36 hours along a two-mile front near Rohbergville and Gapland. By late fall, rain returned but the corn crop was ruined.
