The vets of Baltimore City, eve
pretending to want referendum o

big jolt in the Goldsborough and

On the Eastern Shore, the liquor
question has been an issue for many

the situation, Prohibition is ar

FRIDAY, SEPT. "a, 1926

With it's characteristic policy of
attempting to discredit everything
pertaining to the dry cause, in order
to bolster up it's wet side and retain
favor with the whiskey element, the
Baltimore Sun in its report OF the
address of Mrs. Ella A. Boole, Presi-
dent Of the National w. c. T. u, at
the State convention, held in Rising
Sun last week, made the statement
that Mrs. Boole admitted gains OF
the vets in the country.
This statement by the represen-
tative of the Sun sent here to report
the convention, was lie from the
whole cloth, the speaker making no
such admission, On the contrary
she declared very emphatically that
the vets had made NO gain, despite
the campaign of misrepresentation
that the daily press has been assid
uously conducting.

according to the Larrowe Institute of
Animal Economics. Next to feeding
scrub cows the greatest mistake the
dairyman can make is the scrub feed
ing of his good cows.
"The condition Of some of the aver
age cows on farms is almost unbe-
Iievable," the Institute quotes. Instead
of being in good flesh and condition,
many Of them are poor and scrawny.
Their sides are sunk, their ribs plain
enough to count and their bones stick
out like sore thumbs. 1t is plain that
their run down condition is the result
of underfeeding. With proper care
and good feed many of these cows
could be turned into better than aver
age dairy cows"

not less than one-quarter mile, nor
over one mile, on both sides of the
Highway. There must be sufficient
pace to place the trees within the
right-of-way of the highway, and far
enough from the center of the road

Applications will be filed in the
order received, but preference will
be given to the locations that are

where the greatest public benefit will
be secured. The Forestry Depart

planting are proposed, to determine
their adaptibility for tree planting
and to what extent each meets re-
quirements. In cases where plant

EASTERN SHORE POTATOES
FOR ROYALTY

The first consignment of sweet
potatoes ever shipped by request to.
4 member of the Royal Family of
England, from the Del-Mar-Va East
ern Shore went on record last week
The shipment was made from
Machipongo, Northampton county
Virginia, and consisted of barrel OF
Golden Sweets" addressed to
Her Majesty, Queen Mary of Eng
land, Westminster Palace, London
England"
The request for the sweet potatoes
was relayed to the Eastern Shore, by
Elisha Lee, Vice-President of thu
Pennsylvani Railroad System, who is
abroad with Mrs. Lee. Cable infor
nation conveying the order wa
brief, merely advising that barre
Of select Sweets" grown on the
Eastern Shore of Virginia be shipped
without delay to Her Majesty.
The potatoes were grown on the
arm of Scott Brothers, near Machi
pongo, and were very carefully
culled, brushed and each potato
wrapped separately to stand the
overseas journey. The packing was
supervised by F. B. Bell, Exchange
Agent at Machipongo. The barrel
was routed to connect with steamer
at New York Friday, and should be
delivered at Westminster Palace in
London within a week.
This incident has revived the old
that during one of his voyages in
sight of North Americas shore
Christopher Columbus traded with
Indians in canoes for "'Red Pota-
toes" alleged to have bee grown on
what now is the Del-MarVa PENN
sula. The legend has it that Column
bus found this vegetable so delight
full that on his return to- Spain he
presented his Patron Queen Isabella
with a quantity which he had re-
served for her. She in turn, being
good Queen, and no doubt COM
plimented and pleased with the gift,
according to the historical legend,
kissed Columbus on the forehead
and knighted him.
Many of the Eastern Shoremen
who recite this incident are free in
saying that they have no proof to
bear it out but quite substantially
declare it has foundation and that
they do not have to prove it-this
latest order is evidence of it
