Wormseed was once a growing industry in the county [Eagle Archives]

"The economy, jobs creation, and unemployment continue to be in the national and state news these days.
Locally, the business and economic climate has changed in the last few years. To be certain, change has been a constant dynamic in the local economy since the beginnings of our county in the 1700s.
The one thing that has remained the same in spite of all the changes, is that agriculture continues to be a major industry in Carroll.
But one agricultural product many younger readers may not be familiar with that has not withstood the test of time is an ancient medicine known for its distinctive, unpleasant smell — wormseed."

Panama Canal opened markets for Carroll farmers

The Panama Canal officially opened on Aug. 14, 1914, when
the SS Ancon sailed the newly constructed 48-mile waterway from the Caribbean
Sea to the Pacific Ocean. That path linking the two bodies of water on the
Isthmus of Panama is mentioned a number of times in Carroll County history.
Distinguished international journalist Sadie Kneller Miller,
who was born in Westminster, worked for many years for Leslie's Illustrated
Weekly. She covered the early years of the building of the canal around 1908,
according to research by Mary Ann Ashcraft for the Historical Society of
Carroll County.
The opening of the canal gave a much-needed boost to Carroll
County agriculture, as it shaved more than 7,000 miles off the trip by ship
around South America to markets on the west coast of the United States and Asia
for Carroll County corn, wheat, soybeans, canned goods and meat products.
The year the canal opened was a critical one in the history
of Carroll County farming. It marked the end of an era that began in 1896 that
agricultural historian Carol Lee referred to as the "Golden Age." … http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/carroll/westminster/ph-ce-eagle-archives-0216-20140217,0,3710992.story
[…]
It seems that my invitation to join Biden and the mayor got
lost in the mail. So I took matters in my own hands and visited the canal, the
port of Colon, and Panama City for a history tour this past January. I also had
a stopover for an eco-tour of portions of Costa Rica and San Jose. … http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/carroll/westminster/ph-ce-eagle-archives-0216-20140217,0,3710992.story

Off Track Art is celebrating the art of Jerry DeWitt for its
first opening of the fall season on Friday, Sept. 7th, 2012 from
5:30--7:30, to show his beautiful watercolors from a variety of locales
including Carroll County.
Mr. DeWitt, a Smallwood, Carroll County Maryland artist, has
just returned from Montana and Michigan. Earlier in the year, this past March, Mr.
DeWitt was the featured artist in the Babylon Great Hall at Carroll Community
College. [http://kevindayhoffart.blogspot.com/2012/03/jerry-dewitt-discusses-his-farm.html]
The highly successful show was well-received and the opening was packed. It has
been reported that Mr. DeWitt sold a large number of painting at the Carroll
Community College show…
“Jerry DeWitt was born in Michigan in 1933 and has been
painting, primarily watercolors, since his teenage years,” according to
information provided by the artist…
“Over 300 paintings hang in homes and businesses from Alaska
to Florida. His work has been shown in galleries in Washington, DC; Montana;
and Maryland. Mr. DeWitt’s Montana paintings were featured in American Artist
magazine.
“Mr. DeWitt enjoys traveling, and has series of paintings
from Maine and from Frederick and Carroll Counties. His subjects are often old
farm buildings or homes, as he strives to capture and retain the spirit of American
places of the heart.
“Viewers may be drawn to tranquil scenes and transported to
a quieter, more peaceful time. He has a special affinity for birds and has
painted many species. Jerry has framed many of his paintings in old barn wood,
sometimes from the very site portrayed.
“Most notable of these paintings is his award-winning
portrait of the Wye Oak, framed in the wood from that famous tree.
According
to an article about Mr. DeWitt’s work by critically acclaimed Carroll
County artist, photographer, and writer, Phil Grout, “When Jerry DeWitt paints
a barn, there's a bit of the gentle clanging of cowbells mixing in with the
watercolors. [http://kevindayhoffart.blogspot.com/2012/03/smallwood-artist-jerry-dewitt-draws.html]
“That sound echoes back to his grandfather's Depression-era
farm at the end of a lane in Bedford County, Pa. He was just 2 years old when
his father left home for good and the youngster was uprooted from Lansing,
Mich., to live with his grandparents.
“And in between trips to the pasture to the hand-dug well
for another bucket of water, or out to the shed for an arm load of firewood,
the sights and sounds and smells of farm life wrapped themselves around Jerry's
memory, eventually finding their way to paint and paper more than 30 years
later…
After Mr. DeWitt served in the Navy during the Korean War, “became
a house carpenter building houses in Maryland and Florida.
“Years later, with his wife, Kris, and four children, Jerry
answered his calling — back on the farm, with paints and brushes instead of
water bucket and firewood. The family went to Florida for a visit to his wife's
parents. Jerry stayed behind in Hagerstown.
“He had a week all to himself. So he went to a five and 10
store in town and bought a set of watercolors and some brushes and then headed
out to a barn he'd spotted many times along Interstate-70 on his way to a house
construction site.
“DeWitt was 37 when he sat out there on the east side of
Cosen's Barn with his new set of paints.
“‘That was it. Time disappeared,’ he says. ‘Something was
opening up inside of me, and I could hear those cowbells. I could smell my

Off Track Art is celebrating the art of Jerry DeWitt for its
first opening of the fall season on Friday, Sept. 7th, 2012 from
5:30--7:30, to show his beautiful watercolors from a variety of locales
including Carroll County.
Mr. DeWitt, a Smallwood, Carroll County Maryland artist, has
just returned from Montana and Michigan. Earlier in the year, this past March, Mr.
DeWitt was the featured artist in the Babylon Great Hall at Carroll Community
College. [http://kevindayhoffart.blogspot.com/2012/03/jerry-dewitt-discusses-his-farm.html]
The highly successful show was well-received and the opening was packed. It has
been reported that Mr. DeWitt sold a large number of painting at the Carroll
Community College show…
“Jerry DeWitt was born in Michigan in 1933 and has been
painting, primarily watercolors, since his teenage years,” according to
information provided by the artist…
“Over 300 paintings hang in homes and businesses from Alaska
to Florida. His work has been shown in galleries in Washington, DC; Montana;
and Maryland. Mr. DeWitt’s Montana paintings were featured in American Artist
magazine.
“Mr. DeWitt enjoys traveling, and has series of paintings
from Maine and from Frederick and Carroll Counties. His subjects are often old
farm buildings or homes, as he strives to capture and retain the spirit of American
places of the heart.
“Viewers may be drawn to tranquil scenes and transported to
a quieter, more peaceful time. He has a special affinity for birds and has
painted many species. Jerry has framed many of his paintings in old barn wood,
sometimes from the very site portrayed.
“Most notable of these paintings is his award-winning
portrait of the Wye Oak, framed in the wood from that famous tree.
According
to an article about Mr. DeWitt’s work by critically acclaimed Carroll
County artist, photographer, and writer, Phil Grout, “When Jerry DeWitt paints
a barn, there's a bit of the gentle clanging of cowbells mixing in with the
watercolors. [http://kevindayhoffart.blogspot.com/2012/03/smallwood-artist-jerry-dewitt-draws.html]
“That sound echoes back to his grandfather's Depression-era
farm at the end of a lane in Bedford County, Pa. He was just 2 years old when
his father left home for good and the youngster was uprooted from Lansing,
Mich., to live with his grandparents.
“And in between trips to the pasture to the hand-dug well
for another bucket of water, or out to the shed for an arm load of firewood,
the sights and sounds and smells of farm life wrapped themselves around Jerry's
memory, eventually finding their way to paint and paper more than 30 years
later…
After Mr. DeWitt served in the Navy during the Korean War, “became
a house carpenter building houses in Maryland and Florida.
“Years later, with his wife, Kris, and four children, Jerry
answered his calling — back on the farm, with paints and brushes instead of
water bucket and firewood. The family went to Florida for a visit to his wife's
parents. Jerry stayed behind in Hagerstown.
“He had a week all to himself. So he went to a five and 10
store in town and bought a set of watercolors and some brushes and then headed
out to a barn he'd spotted many times along Interstate-70 on his way to a house
construction site.
“DeWitt was 37 when he sat out there on the east side of
Cosen's Barn with his new set of paints.
“‘That was it. Time disappeared,’ he says. ‘Something was
opening up inside of me, and I could hear those cowbells. I could smell my
grandfather's barn.’”
