anada Finds
State Fleet Is
Costly to Run
Net Earnings Not Enough to
Pay Interest on Amount
Invested by Government
in Its Merchant Marine
Outlook Not Encouraging
Competitions With Vessels
Costing Much Less Likely
To Be Difficult Problem

Canada is not finding the operation
- government merchant marin a.
zen when linked UP with government
system ct railways and working in con
snction with old established British
steamship lines, to be the source OF
sroht that had been expected
Although the Minister of Marine. c.
e. Baliantyne, has reported that the
net earnings during 1920 were s7Sl. 900.
this amount was not sufficient to pro
vide for full interest on the cost of
the governments ships The profits
realized represent only about = per
cent on the s5o,no0o0O spent in build
iag the freighters, whose operations
are included in the financial statement.
As the money so expended was raised
through Victory loans bearing 5h per
cent interest, the actual deficit incurred
may be placed at from $500. 900 to
100000.
Gross Receipts 100000
On the operating account for closed
VOYAGES during 1920 the gross receipts
we're $40. 0.027 900, operating expenses
ss,7sso00 and depreciation was allowed
for the amount of S667, 900.
when the governments shipbuild-
ing program was first undertaken all
parties in Parliament assented to it,"
says The Nautical Gazette, 1.-The criti-
70 bot
1919, after an already considerable
number of ships had been laid down.
and not brought TO close as soon as
possible after the war ended The
Canadian government has also been
criticized for its decision to operate
the ships after having built them. in
stead Of selling them at good profit.
as could have been done, according TO a
statement made by the Minister of Ma
rins last year.
Capitalization at High Rate
One OF the most common criticisms
Of the Canadian ships, it is stated
mas been the high cost of construc-
ton, meaning q high capitalization on
which it viii be difficult to earn div
idends against the j. competition of
ships built or acquired hereafter. The
average cost. OF all the ships already
built for the government marine has
been just under s192 per deadweight
ton. The Minister of Marine has
stated that the cost of building simi-
lar ships in Great Britain to-day
would be about $3.50 per ton. but the
Canadian Pacific Ocean Services has
been offered German ships in Great
Britain as low as 50 per ton. and the
general manager recently said that
h. could get enough new shipping to
fl Vancouver harbor at from $40 to
s4 per tom"
Taking these things into considsra
ten the capitalization of the Cana
cisn government merchant marine is
50 high that, even when business re-
wives, it will be difficult to make much
Of a showing, especially if freights
should continue low.
1t is expected that the whole gov
ernment feet of SO ships will be com
pleted and in commission by the mid
die Of this summer.

OCEAN CITY PEOPLE
PREPARING FOR 1921
Are Getting Ready for the Guests-Repairing
Cottages and Hotels Beach
Is Getting Wider

The people of Ocean City are look-I
ing forward with great hopes to big
season the coming Summer, and the
cottage and hotel people are now
making plans for painting and repair
ing their properties.
A number of men have been at work
reinforcing the breakwater at the
State Bridge to make sure that the
strong tides will not cut away the
bridge foundation. The tides are
much swifter now than they We're be-
fore the inlet was cut during the
storm of last year. The inlet is get
ting wider and deeper all the time
and the bay is full of oysters because
of the salt water that now flows into
it from the mighty Atlantic. Oysters
are growing right up to Ocean City
bridge--they are everywhere-and it
is said that clans are appearing in
sections where they have not been
found for many years. The writer
remembers when Sinepuxent Bay was
full of CLANS, when Green Run Inlet
was open, and now that Ocean City
Inlet is a sure and substantial thing
clans will become more plentiful in
every part of the bay. This inlet is
going to be a great help to the people
of Ocean City in short while.
The beach at Ocean City has made
out a considerable distance since last
season because of the large number
of piling that have been driven.
Several new cottages have been
erected since last Summer and there
are prospects for several more to be
built before the coming Summer. TAX
ing it altogether the people of Wor-
cester's Summer resort are very hope
full for a prosperous season. They be-
lieve the tight times now prevailing in
the large cities will have loosened up
and the people will be prosperous and
ready for their annual outing at
Ocean City when the time arrives.
The Mayor and Council of Ocean
City are preparing to make needed
improvements to the streets and side
walks, and to otherwise improve the
looks of Ocean City.

A BIG MEETING OF
COUNTY FARMERS
Large Attendance at the Farmers Institute in
Snow Hill Last Thursday--Also Many
Ladies Attended Meeting

planned the Governments method OF
educating the disabled soldiers of the
world war.
County Agent, +. |. Oswald, dis
cussed the tomato situation in Wor-
cester County. He said that S5 per
cent of the questionaircs sent out by
him were returned favorable to plant
ing a limited crop of tomatoes if a
fair price can be obtained for the
fruit Mr.. Oswald believes the farm
ers are justified in planting limited
acreage.
Mr.. Cohe spoke on drainage, and
impressed the audience on having
good outlets for the main bitches be-
fore using tile draining.
1t was decided that a meeting would
be held in the near future for the pur-
pose of organizing Board of Agri-
culture for Worcester County.
Meeting of Ladies.
Under the direction of Miss Lucy
Walters, Home Demonstration Agent,
splendid meeting of ladies was held
in the Farmers Room of the Deposit
& Savings Bank. Miss Walters gave
some most excellent talks regarding
her work in the county.
Other talks were made by Mrs.
Bedell and Professor Hickey. Mrs.
Bedell talked about the planning of
the family meals, sewing, etc, and as
result the married editor of The
Messenger may have to eat sys-
tematic meals from now on instead OF
having just what his stomach Graves.
Professor Hickey gave the ladies
some excellent advice on selecting
farm nocks and feeding for winter
eggs. This is what we decidedly miss
ed. For the man who can tell us how
to make a hen lay all winter with
eggs at 75c a dozen is going some,
but Professor Rickey knows the way.

A very large number attended the
Farmers Institute held in the Court
House here Thursday morning and
afternoon. Even County Agent Os-
wald was surprised at the splendid
attendance. 1t shows that our farm
ers are wide awake and trying to
learn the things that will help them
improve farming methods.
Mr.. Oswald introduced as the first
speaker in the morning, Mr.. Travers
of the University of Maryland, who
talked very Interestingly on the con-
troll of insects which injurc orchard
and farm crops. He said most en-
phatically that there was no other
way under heaven by which to get rid
of these pests except by systematic
spraying.
Mr.. Bedell, of the Animal Hus-
bandry Department, University En-
tension Service, talked of the impor-
tance OF well bred cattle, sheep, horses
and hogs, laying particular emphasis
on feeding hogs for profit by the use
of soy beans and other legumcs.
In the afternoon the first speaker
was Professor Oldenburg. He talked
on soil fertility and the intelligent
use of lime and green manuring crops.
DR.. Mclaughlin discussed the hog
cholera situation, laying particular
stress upon the burying, or burning
of the carcasses of dead animals.
DR.. Jehle talked on the diseases of
potatoes and tomatoes. Specimens
of potatoes were examined and he ex-
planned to the audience the nature of
the disease with which they were in
fected and how it should be controlled
