SCANT TOMATO
CROP To CAN
Prospect for Limited Production
Improbable Season Great
Loss to State

In former seasons, when the tomato
canning industry was at its height,
farmers and Gamers were, at this
time of the year, engaged in making
their agreements for the coming sea-
sons work. So far, however, it seems,
that no contracts have been signed
and no definite action taken, either
on the part of the grower or canncr,
for the production or canning of thi
crop.
Indications at present point TO 4
very small acreage. This is due TO
the indisposition of either the canner
or grower, to take chances when sur
rounded by conditions so discourag-
ing to both. Last season, thousands
of tons of tomatoes were left in the
fields TO decay at great loss to the
growers, who had made no contracts,
but had taken the risk of selling
their crop on the open market. AL
though the price of fertilizer is some
what lower than last season, it has
not reached a point that will justify
the farmer in its extensive use, on
crop whose future at this time is so
uncertain. While il is true that the
price of the canned product has re-
Gently advanced and some Gamers
have taken advantage of this higher
price, to sell a part of their surplus
stock, there has been no such decided
improvement in the market as will
enable tha Gamers to sell their entire
stock, at fair profit and thus clear
the way for new crop. The pros
pect, is therefore, for a very small
acreage with n possible increase. con-
ditioned upon continuing rising mar
ket that will enable the canner to
make early additional sales of the
canned product.
The practical loss of this crop to
the revenues of State, that stands
among the first in its production,
would be calamity and would be es-
pecially felt by the thousands of fam
lilies of small means, who find in the
work incident to the growing and
canning of tomatoes, a considerable
source of revenue, so greatly need !.
by them in these days, when T. :;

0. C. FISHERMEN
ARE NOW READY
Fine Weather Advances Season
And Record Catch Expected
This Year

In view of the fine weather during
the past few days fishermen in this
section of the Eastern Shore, parti
cularly in and around Ocean City, are
getting their nets and poles into shape
in anticipation of an unusually early
season. The season usually opens
about the middle of April, but this
year it is expected it will commence
about the first of the month. A
phenomenal catch is expected.
There are shipped annually from
Ocean City about forty thousand bar
rels of fish, mostly trout, which find
markets in Baltimore, Philadelphia
and New York.
A number of small nets have been
placed in SinepuXent Bay, with which
it is expected to catch a large guam
tity of herring. Since the inlet has
been cut through from the Atlantic
Ocean a large number of trout and
other varieties of fish are being also
caught in the bay.
Since the inlet, which was opened
by storm about two years ago, is
believed to be permanent, great possi-
bilitics aS an oyster center are seen
in Ocean City. Young oysters are
now very plentiful in the bay and a
number of people are taking up space
and planting the bivalvcs. which are
growing very rapidly.
People familiar with the oyster in
dustry claim that if the inlet remains
Ocean City bids fair to be one of the
largest shipping points for oysters on
the Peninsula.

BOYS PRODUCE
S|25,o00 CROP
Raised That Much in Crops and
Live Stock in 1921.-Interest
in Pig Raising.

College Park, Md, March A.
Maryland farm boys enrolled in the
Agricultural Boys Club work under
the direction of the University of
Maryland extension service, last year
produced crops and owned and cared
for live stock which had a total value
of more than S125,500.
The sixth annual report of the work,
which has just been issued by E. G.
jenkins, State Boys Club agent, shows
total enrolment during the year Of
l,702 boys, whose efforts were devoted
to the growing of corn and potatoes
and the raising of pure-bred pigs,
calves and poultry. Every county in
the State was represented in the en-
rollment, and, while Hartford county
led in numbers and activities, the
work in other sections was we'll above
the average.
The report shows that the boys, fol-
lowing methods recommended by their
county agents or specialists of the ex-
tension service, succeeded in produc-
ing an average of 1856 bushels of
corn to the acre at an average cost of
IL cents bushel. They raised on an
average 1876 bushels of potatoes to
the acre at an average cost of Sc cents
a bushel. Their average costs of fat
tening pigs amounted to 1913 cents
pound, and their average costs of
growing pigs was reported as 1863
cents a pound. The cost of growing
dairy calves was 26 cents pound and
the poultry was raised at an average
cost of II cents a pound.
Chief interest during the year CEN
tered about the results which the farm
boys obtained with their pure-bred
pigs and the skill which was shown
in several dairy cattle judging con-
tests. In Hartford county, where the
pure-bred pig club work was an out
standing feature, 1870 pure-bred pigs
were in the possession of farm boys.
Many of these were introduced into
the county from well-bred herds in
other States, and added very materi-
ally to the quantity and quality of the
county's lives took. Pure-bred pigs
exhibited by farm boys at the Hartford
County Fair last fall won all but one
prize offered for swine.
In dairy cattle judging, 16 counties
of the State sent teams to the Timon-
ium Fair last year and out of the 4S
contestants a team of three boys was
picked which won fourth place in the
junior dairy cattle judging contest
the National Dairy Show at Chic
in competition with teams from m
other States.
