CROP ADJUSTMENT
PLANS IN MARYLAND

The severe drought in some Sec
tions of the country has emphasized
one feature of the crop adjustment
programs carried on in Maryland and
other states, which had not been so
generally appreciated, according to
DR.. T. B. Symons, director of the Uni
versity of Maryland Extension Service
who is in charge of such programs in
this state. Although the programs for
reducing production of wheat, corn,
hogs and the like were designed pri-
marily to cut down burdensome sur
pluses and bring supply more nearly
into line with effective demand, he
pointed out that the benefit payments
are based on past production average,
rather than on the current crop. The
amount Of these payments, therefore,
is not diminished by current crop
failure. These assured payments
guarantee that farmers who have
signed contracts to cooperate will have
some income, even if their crops are
utter failures.
DIR. Symons states that even if the
drought continues, the 1884 crop of

wheat along with present stocks, will
give ample supplies for food and an
adequate carryover into the next sea-
son IAN analysis made by the Agricul-
tual Adjustment Administration indi-
Gates.
The carryover on July 1 is expected
to be about 260 million bushels, it is
stated. Added to what the crop might
total with continued drought it is es-
timated that there would be total
for the coming season Of about 1875
million bushels. The country uses
about 625 million bushels a year for
all purposes, so that after normal use
the nation would still have in the
of 200 million bushels
available for carryover, or for ex-
port.

cellent crop of potatoes, especially as
to quality. In addition to this, TO-
lowing intermittent rains, the yield
is expected to be good.
The crop began to move to market
in Northampton County last week,
but only in small quantities. The
yield is said to be between 65 to rs
barrels to the acre.
The price has remained from 1928
to so throughout the week.
A number of the dealers point to
the possibility of a slightly rising
market, due to the drought in other
states. Many feel that if price of
$3.50 can be maintained, it will be
all to the good.
Most every dealer is stressing or
derby, unhurried shipping as Carolina,
late this year, with a larger crop than
last year, will be shipping after the
two counties of the Eastern Shore
have started the movement to the
market.

ACCOMAC CHURCH IS
p PLEASED WITH TOUR

The members Of st. James Episco-
pal Church, who arranged the tour
of Accomac, June and are much
gratified by the interest manifested
and the number of visitors, not only
from the Eastern Shore of Virginia,
but from Maryland, Pennsylvania,
New Jersey and Delaware. Richmond
Lynchburg and Norfolk were also
represented. The money raised will
be used for the improvement of the
church.
The frescoed walls were restored
three years ago through the generos-
ity of Mrs. Harper Sheppard, of Han
over, Pa. Mrs. Sheppard was born
on the Eastern Shore and spent her
childhood at the family homestead
known as "Sheppard's Plain" near

PRINCESS ANNE ADOPTS
CORPORATION REGULATION

Princess Anne is one of the few
towns on the Shore where street
vendors are permitted without any
regulations to compete with the store
keeper, and to occupy the best CEN
trail locations on the main business
thoroughfare to the town.
To offer some regulation and con-
troll of the practice as it operates
here the Town Commissioners last
week passed an ordinance for the
purpose of licensing those who make
regular business of open market
street sales. The ordinance provided
that street vendors are to obtain a
license or permit good for six months
at a charge of $500, the license or
permit to be in the name of the per-
son actually engaged in and respon-
sible for the business. The permit
is to state where the stand, wagon
or truck is to be located and was not
directed at nor was it the Commits
sioner's intention to offer any OBJ
stacle to farmers who occasionally Of
fer garden vegetables in house to
house sales.
The intention of the Commissioners
is to permit the vendors to stand on
Broad Street between Somerset Ave-
nue. and Beechwood Street until bet
ter place may be provided.

FROM OUR
EXCHANGES
DELAWARE LIQUOR LAW
BANS ADVERTISEMENTS

The Delaware Liquor Commission
has warned all licensees to discon-
tinue at once all forms of advertis-
ing other than sign in front OF
their establishment and newspaper
and radio advertising as being
against the provisions of the Liquor
Control Act.
Officials of the commission have
called attention to the provisions OF
Section 9 of the Liquor Control Act
which provides that for two years
after the passage of the act no per-
son engaged or interested in the
manufacture, sale, dispensing or trans
porting of alcoholic liquor shall ad-
yertise or cause to be advertised al
coholic liquor of any kind or brand
or the place of sale, provided, how
ever. that such advertisement shall
be permitted in newspapers and other
periodicals sold in the State and shall
be permitted by radio broadcast.
Poster boards and painted bulletins
may be used to advertise the sale or
manufacture of all vinous or malt
liquors that are permitted under the
laws of the State. The use of the
posters are to be confined to Will
mington, however.
The elaborate signs placed in front
of number of licensed places by
wholesale beer dispensers will be al
lowed to remain but all window dis
plays other than the actual use of
the bottles will be banned, it was
said.
The use of advertising on theatre
programs and on programs for char
ity benefits or other performances has
been banned by the commission.
Officials of the commission stress
ed that this is not new ruling of
the commission but that the COM
mission heretofore has been permit
ting the licensees to take care of adj
vertising according to the rules of the
Liquor Control Act.
Recently the licensees have been
transgressing the provisions of the act
and it was the belief of the COM
mission that an end should be put to
the excessive advertising Immediate
ly as the commission believes there
is ample opportunity for the licensees
to use the newspapers and radio for
advertising.
When the two years stipulated in
the Liquor Control Act have passed
the licensees will be permitted to adj
vertise in any way they see fit but
until that time the commission will
supervise all advertising.
The commission also notified all
licensees that in order that there may
be no misunderstanding concerning
holidays that on the Fourth of July
no spirits or wine may be sold or de-
livered. Beer, however, may be sold
and delivered that day.

Valuable Bud Sports May
Be Lost bv Not Labelling

Fruit growers should always be on
on the watch for limbs of their trees
that bear unusually desirable fruit or
that bear at unusual times, say fruit
specialists of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. 1t is prob
able that many desirable variations in
some of our fruit crops have been lost
through the pruning knife merely be-
cause they were not marked for pres
ervation. These bud sports or vari-
ants are Of scientific interest and may
prove Of commercial value if pre-
served.
1t is probable, scientists think, that
the Washington navel orange was a
variant on Brazilian tree. The
marsh seedless grapefruit variety may
have originated as sport. Some Of
the deciduous fruits have also pro-
duced variants Of value. Recently
members Of the department on the Pa
cific coast inspected variant of
standard plum which ripens superior
fruit about six weeks later than the
main crop. In this case the owner of
the orchard had realized that fruit
ripening after the main crop had been
sold might have special market value,
and had propagated from the limb va
RANT so that the variety may be pre-
served

niggardly appropriations by congress
are held to blame.
Shortage of modern equipment, re-
sulting from the reduced appropria-
lions and stagnation in promotion of
army air officers, the board warned,
has affected the morale Of the entire
army.
The report scoffed at reports the
United States was vulnerable to air
invasion. 1t also opposed the unfit
cation Of army and navy air forces
under a separate national defense unit.
First giving assurance that its recon-
mendations do not embrace a national
policy Of aggression, the board pro-
posed:
/. A national aviation policy to be
retained for a reasonable" length Of
time.
e.. Effectuation of the 1925 act
which called for expansion Of the army
air corps to 1920 planes with larger
ratio of combat units.
8. Steady program of procurement
which would keep alive the nations
airplane building industry.
A. Drastic changes in the air corps
regulations which would increase fly
ing hours per pilot from $50 to 200
hours to 300 yearly; revisions in the
promotion system for officers Increased
training in flying under dangerous con-
ditions and with instruments common
on commercial planes.
s. Consolidation of the joint agen-
cies Of army and navy, such as the
Joint munitions board, the joint
aeronautics board, etc., under the au-
thority of the army and navy board
functioning as a superior board for
both departments.
6. Purchase Of small inexpensive
commercial planes for use in training
pilots in group night flying.
Z. Continuation Of experiments with
small non-rigid airships as partial sub
stitutes for observation balloons.
8. Increase of the air corps person
mel by 40S officers.

Watering System
Is Simple Matter
Possibilities of Irrigation Are
Favored by Farmers in
Drought Sections.

BY L. A. somers. Garden Extension Special
ist College of Agriculture University OF
Illnois.-WNU Service.
Ten years ago the idea Of irrigating
their gardens would have been scoffed
at by Illinois farmers, but the un-
usually dry weather Of this season has
brought home the possibilities Of irri-
cation In convincing way. Not all
farms, but a very large number of
them might have irrigated gardens at
small expense.
During drought seasons simple,
homemade watering system may mean
the difference between a productive
garden and a total loss. Likewise,
having sufficient water at the proper
time is particularly important to late
planted vegetables.
In a majority of cases the farm
stead Is built in slight elevation with
the garden laid out on a gentle slope
short distance from the source of
water. Generally, too, there is
pump powered by windmill or gaso-
line engine that is capable of supply
ing far more water than is needed for
household and live stock consumption.
All that is necessary on these farms
is line Of pipe running from the
live stock or storage tank to the upper
edge Of the garden, and a piece of
hose that can be moved from row to
row as needed. If the storage tank Is
below the upper level Of the garden,
the pipe may be attached directly to
the pump and the water forced up to
the higher level of the garden.
By using either cultivator or hand
hoe, rough burrows can then be placed
at the upper end of furrow and the
water allowed to make It's way slowly
to the lower end. AS the furrow be-
comes soaked, the hose is moved from
row to row across the garden. 1t will
be necessary, of course, to keep the
windmill or gasoline engine running
to maintain the water supply, but in
most cases the method is inexpensive
and does not require constant atten-
ton.
Different farms will, naturally, re-
quire different adaptations of any type
Of watering system, for the problem is
more or less an individual one How
ever, If farmers will look over their own
situations, great many will find it
entirely possible and practical to irri-
gate the garden with but little expense
and labor.

Grain Fed to Weaving Calf

The amount Of grain fed to wean-
ing calf will depend upon the condi-
ton Of the individual. Each animal
should be kept in medium flesh and a
good growing condition. The amount
fed before weaving should be in
creased to take the place of nutrients
formerly supplied by milk. AS a gen.
eral rule three pounds Of grain is fed
before weaving and this can be in
creased to four or five pounds during
the weaving period and Immediately
after the animal is weaned. Little or
no grain is required, however, when
the calves are on good pasture.
