18th. The first day was devoted to
stops in Accomac county, Va, and was
under the direction. of County Agent

sion authorities of Virginia. The Sec
ond day was devoted to stops in Wor-
cester county, Nd, and was under the

Experiment station authorities of Md,
and the Worcester County Farm Bu-
reau Federation.
The first stop on the 18th was made
at the farm of James H. Rowley,
Horntown, Va, where the tourists
were given an opportunity to inspect
the seed source plots and determine
for themselves by actual counts how
seed gotten from eighteen different
sections of the north, middle west and
Canada were holding up. It was very
evident from some of these counts
that some sections and growers are
very much more careful in the selec-
tion of their seed strains than others.
The second stop was made at Martin
Halls farm at Horsey. The tourists
were given an opportunity at this stop
to make a comparison of the different
strains with the same strains on the
Rowley farm and were also given an
opportunity to listen to seed growers

National Gudrd Boys to
Camp AZ Virginia Beach

The First Infantry, National Guard,
will not go into Camp at Buena Vista,
as has heretofore been announced, but
will once more pitch their tents at
Virginia Beach from August 1st to
August 10Th.
This change Of location is due to
the fact that, the State Military De-
partment has not succeeded in closing
the most important deal connected with
the requirement of the new reserva-
,tion - that of the water supply
rights; they have not been able to
purchase the land on which the desir-
ed water supply is located.
Many Of the locals will not object
to this arrangement, as not a few
prefer the sea-shore to the mountains.

Avalon. Catalina Islands, March 3l.--"None of that resin stuff for me-" says Pitcher Grover Alexander of the Chicago Cubs.
 "When l am unable 10 get by using my natural stuff l am going to quit.
 "Resin may help some of the pitchers who like 10 experiment, but am satisfied to stick to the curve, fast ball and a change of pace"
 The opinion of Alexander is rather interesting, since the National league is responsible for the return of resin as pitching asset.
 Walter Johnson of the American league is just as opposed to the use of resin. Johnson is of the opinion that in warm weather resin will handicap rather than help the pitcher. since it has 'a tendency to make the ball sticky, He believes it will make for WiIdncss rather thnn control.
 Waiter Johnson and Grover AhX- ander arc the two outstanding right handed pitchers in the major leagues.
 Alexander alone vics with Joln- son for supremacy. He has been a star since 1911, when he joined thc Philadelphia Nationals and is still one,
