NEW DEAL DUE
\ FROM BOARD
4. On WHEAT
Stones Resignation Rumored
and Denied; Surrender on
Stored Grain Sale Seen Near

Although reluctant to make any
change in it's present policy re-
lating to the disposal of 100000
900 bushels of wheat which it
purchased to stabilize the market,
the Federal Farm Board is facing
the virtual necessity of yielding
to pressure brought by political
and farming groups which de-
mand a new deal"
The board remains unconvinced
that it should not dispose Of a
portion of this wheat on the ex-
port market during the harvest
months.
President Hoover, however, and
others believe the wheat should
be held off both the domestic and
foreign markets for four months
or more.
Statement Tomorrow
Tomorrow the board Sill issue
q statement announcing a change
of base with respect to the sale
of storage wheat. 1t may be an
agreement to withhold all of the
grain from the market just now,
O pledge demanded by the wheat
belt States and powerful elements
in the Republican party.
Reports today said Chairman
Stone would resign soon, but he
declared he would not resign
under fire" He also said many
Ynillers and growers were support
ing the board in its controversy.
Curtis Opposes Sale
The appearance of rift be-
tween President Hoover and the
board is being carefully shielded
from publicity. The President,
however, has been brought into
the fight by some of the out
standing Republican leaders in
the farm States, and the pressure
has been of a sort he could not
resist.
Vice President Curtis today de-
Clared the board should refuse to
sell the wheat until the price had
reached IS cents or 81 a buShel.
This is the view generally taken
by wheat-belt leaders.

Black Rot is one of our most SER
ious sweet potato diseases and in or
der to find out more about it, DIR. +
f. Manns, Plant PathOlogist of the
University of Delaware, has been
conducting some experimental work
along this line, in our sweet potato
sections.
This past year he had four demon
stration plots which were set on
June and harvested on October 20.
In checking these plots, the follow
ing results were obtained according
to a report received by County Agent
c. r. Snyder
Big Stem slip seed were used in
plot number one, treated with cor
rOsive sublimate-one ounce in eight
gallons and then set in a seed bed
composed of new soil. These plants
appeared to 5e strong and uniform
during the growing season. At har-
vest time, black rot was noticed on
only ten potatoes out of 33 bushels.
This plot yielded 22O.4 bushels of
primes and 25 bushels Of seconds
per acre or a total of 245.4 bushels.

as the others were strong and uni
form and at harvest time black rot
was found on IL potatoes out of 30.5
bushels. This plot produced 209.7
bushels of primes and 25 bushels of
seconds or total yield of 228.7 bus
hels.
Big Stem seed stock, selected free
from black rot were used in plot No.
3. This stock received the usual
corrosive sublimate treatment and
were planted in a seed bed compOs-
ed of new soil. During the growing
season the plants in the seed bed
were irregular and not as strong as
those in plots No. and No. 2. When
this plot was harvested II potatoes
out of 26:8 bushels had the black rot.
This plot yielded at the rate of 1892
bushels of primes per acre and 209
bushels of seconds.
In plot No. 4, the same kind of
seed were used as in plot No. 3, and
these, too, were treated with cOrro-
sive sublimate. The seed bed, how
ever, was composed of old soil but
treated with formaldehyde as in
Milford chronicle., 1931-02-20

plot No. 2. Hepe,ateo, the plants in
the seed bed were irregular and
thin and 80 potatoes out of 25.5 bus
hels ere found to have the rot. The
total acre yield was 1912 bushels of
which 1903 bushels were primes.
These demonstrations seem to in
dicate that slip seed may be one of
the methods in controlling black rot,
and one would naturally think that
this practice would be more gener-
ally followed, but such is not the
case.
Another result from these demon
strations seem to be that the use of
new soil in the seed bed may be a
factor in checking the disease.
AS stated before, black rot is one
of our worst diseases and each
grower should use every precaution
in order to try to reduce his loss.

Echoes from the ancient days,

By their rivers and their bays;
Now of all those Tribes bereft,
A few dim names are all that's left
AS Eastern Shoreman am proud,
That the Natives had their rights,
With perfect peace and harmony,
Between them and the whites;
Hot blood and butcheries elsewhere,
All kindness and good feeling here.
Between our Berlin and the coast,
AS on the Records seen,
A thousand acres were set apart,

And there her dusky Courtiers,
Supporters of her Throne;

She sleeps by SinepuXent Bay,
Her Race a vanished Race;
Fading away like Autumn leaves,
They passed and left no trace;
Loving like us our Woods and
Streams,
They came and went like Summer
dreams.
Thus, thus we sit at eventide,
Amid the ghOstly visions,
The Indian maidens in the dance,
The Tribes like apparitions;
The Irroquois had their day,
Bearing their dead they pass away.

And hope as friends he'll own us,
While he is welcomed to the King

 WILL CLICK AS
 COLLEGE COACH
Dixie Sports Followers Are Unanimous Tn Their
 Opinions

ATLANTA, Ga, Jan. 15,-Bobby Dodd, coach.
 Or, to put it more formally, Rob- ert Lee Dodd, backfield coach at Georgia School of Technology. That Bobby Dodd, stellar quarter of the University of Tennessee's football squad, will make good as a coach, is the unanimous opinion of experts in the south.
 On all sides he is hailed as one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time, especially in the south
 During the 1880 season Dodd kicked "A times for a total of 3,019 yards. His longest kick travelled 68 yards on the fly. He threw 96 pass es and completed AT of them.
 These figures, say Tennessee of ficials, do not show the real merit of Dodd's performance on passing, for in all major games he was a marked man and got these passes off on the dead run or with op- pcnents rushing him from all sides.
 Tennessee lacked power in this years attack, but Dodd managed to carry the ball for an average of AZ yards per try.
 Coed In Two Sports D3dd has made good in basket ball as well as football. His pres- ence on the floor inspired his team mates to do their best work, and Dodd was chosen as a guard on the All-Southern team picked for the Associated Press.
 Dodd will assume his duties at Tech as soon as the 1881 basketball season is over.

EVANSTON, Ill, Jan. l5.--A new wonder" who threatens to sur pass the record-breaking scoring feat of Purdue's famous Stretch Murphy has appeared on the Vest ern conference basketball horizon
 He is Joe Reiff, a six-foot 1.-two Northwestern university sophomore who in his first two games, dazzled both opponents and his coach Dutch Lonberg, with his William Tell marksmanship
 Reiff tossed in five field goals in his first game against Bradley col lege. He added two free throws. In the second game, against Notre Dame, he bagged 10 field goals and six fouls to come within two points of Murphy's mark of 28.
 As he didn't play the full time in either game, Reiff earned almost a point a minute. The newcomer has been sinking baskets in this fashion for three years around Chi cago. In 1928 and '29 he led Crane Tech of the city to city champion ships.
 Not only is he a good shot from all angles, Reiff also is fine floor player, defensively and offensively. He started at center but Lonberg later shifted him to forward. Reiff weighs 165 pounds.
