College Park.-A short crop Of pota-
toes on the Eastern Shore of Virginia
is indicated in a report which DR..
Thomas B. Symons, director of the
Maryland State College Extension
Service, has received from County
Agent Clarence 2. Kellar, of Somerset
county.
Mr.. Kellar, who recently made a
survey of conditions in the Eastern
Shore counties OF Virginia for tho
benefit OF potato growers of Somerset
county. says that dry weather has been
one of the factors responsible for q
poor yield. In the neighborhood OF
Cape Charles. he says. potatoes are
being dug, but in many cases are small
in size. In Northampton county dig
ging is just beginning. and in Accomac
the vines are still in bloom.
Recent rains. which helped the DO
tatoes in Somerset county, were too
late to benefit the Virginia growers
except those in Accomac county. Mr.
Kellar reports that the Virginia grow
ers paying rs cents a barrel TO have
the potatoes picked up. and in some
cases where the yield is very poor
hands are getting as high as 40 cents
and As cents.
Government reports indicate a large
increase in acreage Of potatoes on the
Eastern Shore of Maryland and Vir
ginia, but considering conditions Of the
crop in Virginia Mr.. Kellar believes
that prices will remain comparatiyel,
high.

tween those who favored the incor.
poration and those who opposed the

poration have as their candidate for

Frederick. The "dollar-an-hour'
harvest hand in Frederick county is a
myth. II simply isn't being paid. de-
spite all reports to the contrary. Farm.
ers say they can't afford It. even
though they claim that there is to be
an insufficient number Of harvest
hands in Frederick county to gather
the annual crop.
Four dollars for a day, with board
and lodging. is the average pay recon.
mended. Some may be paying more.
but they are comparatively few. 9th.
ers, but they are few, may be paying
less, but not much under this figure.
With the average cost of $215 per
bushel to produce wheat Frederick
county farmers. with unquestionabIe
regulations for close financing. are not
going to add this expense by paying
$40 per day. a 10hour day, to gather
a crop. They figure 1t can be gathered
for less than that, even if they have
to call on their wives and daughters to
turn out and gather sheaves and shock
wheat.
