Worcester Boy Athlete.

In an order issued Wednesday. and
approved by the commandant and super
intendent of the Naval Academy at
Annapolis. the names of the members
of the navy field and track team who
made the highest records and best per-
formances on the cinder path last spring
are announced. The order provides that
these shall have their names and records
placed on the usual athletic record
tables to be hung in the gymnasium. We
are plased to note that Lee Cummings
Carey, the Worcester County boy who
has been leading the MILDLY sprinters
since he entered the institution four
years ago. stands high. To him goes
the honor of general excellence, and,
in addition, his Academy records Of
0 as for the 100 dash. 81 3-5 seconds for
the 200, and 50 seconds for the 440,
stand unbeaten.

community and wishes you to spend
your money on schemes that never
amount to anything. The most promi-

long since resolved that the newspaper
is the proper means Of advertising and
in the end the cheapest means. The

patronized now than ever before.

Snow Hill, and in doing many other
things that organization can accomplish,
where individual efforts would fail.

sentative farmers from all parts Of the

Apple Growing For Maryland.

Jonathan W, Kerr. of Denton, a
vice -president of the Peninsula Horti-
cultural Society. is firm believer in the
adaptability of Maryland land for ap-
pies, and when he voices such opinions,
refers more particularly to the Eastern
Shore counties, for. as is already known,
the Western Maryland counties are
celebrated for their fine apples, the pro-
ducts of their orchards ranking about
as high as any in the country.
In speaking of the advancement of
the apple raising industry on the East
ern Shore. Mr.. Kerr laid par ticular stress
upon the fact that it will be necessary
for the fruit growers to do a great deal
of experimenting in order to get hold
of varieties Of apples that are suitable
to the climate of this section. He said:
"Only so long as prices rule high a
good per cent. of those now planting
will be willing to devote proper care to
their orchards. My experience is that
in summer varieties. those grown in any
similar section would succeed well on
the Peninsula, but the tedious and ex-
pensive process of trail is the only GER
tain way for local planters to ascertain
the value in this territory of winter
apple"
Mr.. Kerr is of the opinion that the
Maryland Maiden Blush is one of the
finest fall apples to be found anywhere.
He also thinks that some Of the varieties
which reach such high state of per-
lection in Western Maryland could be
raised to advantage in this section.
OF recent years there has been de-
cided falling Off in the apple industry so
far as this section of the country is con-
cerned. Right here in Worcester Coun-
ty there are scarcely half dozen farm
ers who make any attempt to grow fine
fruit, either for home use or for market.
But while this is true here, there has
been great advance in our sister State
of Delaware and some very fine apples
are raised there IN large quantities.
Only recently an instance was reported
of where one man had cleared in the
neighborhood of SIS, 900 off of his apple
crop. As stated by Mr.. Kerr, it will
take considerable patience and industry;
il will be necessary to do considerable
experimenting before the proper varie-
ties may be reached, but in the end il
would be found that the apple is one of
the most profitable crops that farmer
can raise. and we hope during the next
few years to see some OF our progressive
farmers doing some experimenting along
this line. The cost will not be great,
while the returns are perhaps larger
than from any Of the staple crops, and
the expense attendant upon the cultiya-
ton 10 very much less.
