OF Field Seeds In State

Senator Weller has arranged to OBJ
tain from the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture few packages
of the following rare field seeds:
Kansas-grown alfalfa, Korean les
pedeza, soybeans, and Sudan grass.
Each of these packages contains a
sufficient quantity of seeds for a sat-
isfactory field test.
The Senator desires to distribute
these seeds for test purposes among
the farmers of Maryland. Should any
reader wish to make test of one
variety of these seeds and will write
Senator Weller at 227 Senate Office
Building, Washington, D. c.. the Sen
ator will be glad to have the Depart
ment of Agriculture mail the seeds to
the applicant.
AS the Senator has only a limited
number of these seeds, and they are
all intended for early spring planting,
it is suggested that you let him hear
from you by March 20; 1925.

SWEEZEY RESIGNS
AS WARDEN OF
PENITENTIARY
Acts After Policy On Privil-
eyes Is Curbed By The
Welfare Board.
TWELVE ESCAPES
DURING HIS REGIME

Col. Claude B. Sweezy Monday
night submitted his resignation as
warden of the Penitentiary and the
House of Correction.
Col. Sweezy has been warden of
the Penitentiary since November
1920. He assumed charge of the
House of Correction in February,
1928. Since he became warden of the
institution he has been criticized and
defended for his policies at the Peni-
tertiary.
During the little more than four
years of his incumbency at the Peni-
tertiary twelve prisoners have escap-
ed, one numbering a guard to obtain
freedom.
The resignation of Colonel Sweezy
came as surprise to members of the
Welfare Board and to Governor
Richie, who attended a meeting of
the body Monday.
The meeting was called to discuss
privileges granted Burton M. Morgan,
a convict, who says he has made $685.
600 in two years directing a mail list
business from within the institution.
The board disapproved Of the privi-
leges granted Morgan and ordered
that they be discontinued.
Besides the case of Morgan, the
board discussed the Penitentiary in
general, including the warden's poll
cy of granting privileges of recrea-
ton to first-grade prisoners.
When it was intimated to Colonel
Sweezy that these privileges would
have to be curbed, he announced to
the board his intention of resigning.
On his return to the institution he
wrote his resignation and delivered it
to Mr.. Janney.
Col. Sweezy was chosen head Of
the Penitentiary because of his rec
ord as commander Of the Three Hun
dred and Thirteenth Infantry, "Balti-
more's Own" during the World War.
He said he had no plans for the flu
tuse. He is retired army officer and
his pay from the Government is ap-
proximately $500 year.
Colonel Sweezy explained that,
while he submitted his resignation to
take effect at the pleasure of the We'll
fare Board, he expected to be reliev-
ed of his duties at an early date.
Governor Richie said that because
of the suddeness of Colonel Sweezey's
decision to resign he had given no
thought to the appointment of sue
cessor.
In his resignation Colonel Sweeney
pointed out that only ten men had
escaped from the prison in four years.
He said he did not consider the flight
of John J. McGinnis and Herbert
Meyers, chauffeurs to the warden, as
escapes, inasmuch as these men were
trusted outside the Penitentiary walls.
Their failure to return was a VIOLA
ton of faith, he declared.

VISION IS

CHILD'S FAILURE
Backwardness And Dizziness
Occur Frequently From
Eyestrain
ATTENTION TO EYES IN
PRE-SCHOOL DAYS URGED

1--WE have only one pair of eyes to
last us throughout our entire life,
and when they are worn out we can't
install new set, but we are as heed
less in our treatment of them," says
DR.. J. H. Knox Jr., Chief of the Bu-
reau of Child Hygiene of the State
Department of Health, in a bulletin
to Mothers" as though we could buy
new ones whenever we want them
from the nearest crossroads store.
"Grown-ups, as a rule, know some
thing of the care that should be given
to their eyes, but children do not,
and we can not start too early to safe
guard these precious possessions for
them.
"Babies, for instance, should sleep
in a we'll ventilated but carefully
darkened room. If they take their
daytime maps out of doors, some ar
rangement should be devised for
shading their eyes from the light. If
the baby goes out in a carriage or go
cart for his daily airing, the hood
should be tilted in such a way, that
his eyes at all times are comfortably
shaded.
Equal care should be taken as the
children grow older to see that their
eyes are adequately protected. Chill
dren should always have as much
sunshine and fresh air as possible, but
a direct glare of light into the eyes
should always be avoided. 1t is we'll
to remember, too, in connection with
any indoor arrangements that the
eyes of children, like those of adults,
are best protected when the light
comes from the left side. Indoor play
quarters should always be well
lighted.
eye strain may develop very early
in life, and children should be care
fully watched for any signs of it. If
they scowl or squirt when they look
at toy or at their picture books, if
they seem dull and listless it is a
wise plan to have them examined by
an eye specialist. Cross eyes should
not be neglected but should be brought
promptly to the attention of an eye
specialist. Children's eyes should be
examined as a matter of routine, be-
fore they are sent to school.
"Experience has shown that many
boys or girls who are regarded as
backward or stup.i' after they en-
ter school, are suffering from some
eye trouble that could either be pre-
vented entirely or could be greatly
benefited by attention during the
preschool period"

Nj " "a a.
1t has been our pleasure to hold
two public demonstrations of
BEMIS SPECIAL POTATO
BAGS and Bag Racks recently,
one at Pocomoke City and one
at Eastville.
Both were we'll attended and
many growers were surprised
at the interesting facts brought
out in the discussion.
We are now arranging for dem
onstrations at other towns. If
you have not attended one of
these demonstrations and would
like to have one let us suggest
that you get in touch with a few
of your neighbors and then
write us and we will arrange a
demonstration at an early date.
Some of the questions asked at
the demonstrations held and the
answers are:
QuestiOn-What is the cost of
the bags? Answer - Approx
mately 15c each.
Question-How are the bags
closed and what does it cost?
Answer-With our special bag
closing Irvine, which costs less
than 1sc per bag. We supply
special needles with the neces-
sary instructions. Bags can be
closed as quick or quicker than
a barrel can be headed.
Question-Where are the bags
filled? Answer-Either in the
field or at a warehouse. The
bags are usually filled in the
field just as barrels are. The
method is no different.
Question - How about getting
the proper quantity in the bags?
Answer-Our special Bag Rack
provides for this and when used
in accordance with instructions
makes the job of filling easy
and insures getting proper
quantity in the bags.
QuestiOn-Do bags carry the
potatoes as we'll as barrels?
Answer-Bags carry them bet
ter. In the first place, bags are
ventilated from all sides, while
barrels depend principally up
on ventilation through the top.
Further, when potatoes are
dumped into barrels the first
ones hit the bottom very hard,
some of them striking protrud-
ing nails. These potatoes on
the bottom are bruised to a GER
tain extent and are the first
ones to heat and rot. Bags be-
ing suspended from the special
rack eliminate this. The bot
tom of the bag being suspended
a few inches above the ground
acts as a cushion and there is no
bruising.
Question-Does heat cause po-
tatoes in bags to rot in tran
sit? Answer-No because our
special plan of loading bags in
to cars gives maximum ventila-
ton.
QuestiOn-Do the potatoes sell
for the same price as in barrel?
Answer-Last year, shipments
actually brought a higher price
per pound in bags. When bar
rels containing 100 lbs. were
selling for $500, bags contain
ing $50 Tbs. sold for $2.75. Fig
ure it out for yourself. A car
load of 200 barrels sold for $500.
A carload of 240 bags sold for
| S66O.OO.
The above questions are rep
resentative of the many advan-
tages of bags
Prominent Growers all over the
Eastern Shore have decided to
ship at least part of their crop
this year in bags. We are con-
fident that any grower who
ships a part of this years crop
in bags, will ship much larger
portion next year.
Bags are just as sure to come
into use on the Eastern Shore
as they have in every other ear
ly potato growing section. The
grower that takes advantage of
the opportunity this year is go

condemns the state department of

education of Bristol township to
close one small school "that has not

for only one child in this school,
