growing of alfalfa for Maryland, and it is admitted by all that, by these two items alone, immense sums have been added to the agricultural revenue of Maryland. To promote these and other like movements from 1 900 to I 906 he acted as Agricul- turist of the Md. Agr. Expt, Sta., and it caused general regret that the insistent demand of his students at the College prevailed upon him to give up this part of his work. Prof. Taliaferro is a loyal son of Maryland, the State of his adoption, he knows her valleys and her hillsides by heart, and he has a fervid faith in her agricultural pros- perity, provided, as he would have it The wiUing arm be guided by the trained mind. His students are succeeding in every county of the State and exemplify by their prosperity, the value of his precepts and example. Notwithstanding his close application and devotion to his profession. Prof. Talia- ferro is a man of extensive reading and wide culture and the subjects are few upon which he is not well informed, therefore it is not surprising that he should receive the much coveted membership in the Phi Beta Kappa, conferred at his Alma Mater in 1895. Thus equipped and trained Warner TaHaferro in his modest but firm way has been a positive aggressive force m the makmg of men and the remaking of a College. A most auspicious event transpired in the life of Prof. Taliaferro when in June, 1896, he wedded Miss Emily Franklin Johnson, daughter of John O. Johnson, Esq., of College Park. Mrs. Taliaferro and her husband both delight in dispensing a hearty and generous hospitality at their College Park home, which is made even more beautiful by good care and good cheer, and the frequent acts of kindness and charity which are traced to them naturally augment the esteem and affection in which they are held by all.
