ability of Maryland growers to mar
ket their crop. He said however,
that he was glad to have the oppor-

experience that the French tobacco
market prefers Maryland-grown to-

assured that the hope exists in France
that the time will soon come when
manufacturers in that country will BE-
able To take the entire Maryland crop.
Chance For Maryland Fruit
"Ther are possibilities for Mary
land-grown fruit in the English mar

local growers will insist on produc-
ing and packing first-clasS products
only. II should be remembered that
apples sold in the English markets
are in competition with fruit pro-
duced in all parts Of the world and
, il would be unfortunate for any group
OF farmers to get the idea thu they
knew il all or to practice looS eth
ODDS of growing and packin. n
competing in worldwide M.
England does not produce a SUI
abundance Of fruit and there shou
always be sale for Maryland apples
of the highest grade. Last year, ow-
ing to short crop of fruit in Eng
land, American-grown fruit was in
greater demand than usual, but even
under average conditions Maryland
fruit of the best grade should find
reasonable market there

Oil in Surf Injuries
Resorts of Virginia

Richmond Va. July l9-Seabath-
ing alorg the Virginia coast has been
almost destroyed by the appearance
of heavy oil and tar ca the surface
AT the incoming of the tides. Those
who are daring enough to risk the
surf come out with a coating of this
stuff all over them. As conse-
qucncc bathing has to be done when
the tide goes out and when this scum
recedeS. Some of il has gotten into
the sand, and the loss to the resorts
is enormous.
Various conjectureS have been
made aS TO the cause of the oil and
tar appearing, some of them being
that the vessels coming into Virginia
ports are discharging bilge water and
machinery washiEgS as they enter;
others that oil burning vessels are
responsible for the condition. while
there are some who believe that the
evil may be due TO destruction of
steamers laden with oil and tar the
disappearance of vessels along the
coast having given rise to the reports
OF pirates.
Whatever the cause, the fact is
that persons who have been to the
beaches this summer have emerged
with coatings that have called for
kerosene oil to remove. The matter
will be called TO the attention of the
Government for correction.
