snow. Also travel Is difficult and the
days short. So 500 appraisers were H.
nally selected, trained, equipped and
set to work.
Thirty-five district officers were es-
tablished with stenographic assistants,
and experienced appraisers IN charge
EARLY in December the backlog of &C
cumulated applications was finally
whitfield away. In one area the ground
was covered with foot of snow and
the roads became impossible within
twenty-four hours after the field work
had been completed. Into this area,
in which the accumulation of applica-
lions had ben particularly heavy, fifty
extra men had previously been trans
ferred from districts where the ap-
praisals were completed.
Land Bank appraisers have received
criticism and in some cases, perhaps,
justly. The public, however, does not
generally appreciate the qualifications
these men possess. They must be phys
ically vigorous, tactful and discreet,
and yet persistent in delving into per-
sonal and sometimes delicate financial
and family affairs which have bear
J ing upon the success or failure OF the
| applicant. They must know soils, eli
mate, crops, livestock, equipment and
markets, as we'll as farm management
and they must have ! genius for dis
covery of fundamental factors, both
good and bad.
\ The Farm Credit Administration has
used every means available to select
men with the highest degree OF adap-
liability and to train and educate them
Many had previous experience, some
were technically trained in soils, COM
mon crops, horticulture and farm
economies. During the winter, shor
courses were arranged at all of tn
state colleges, where the entire field o
agricultural study was briefly reviewed
Arrangements have been made to con
tinue this education and scientiti
studies have been undertaken in var
Il ious phases of agriculture; includ1n

Verdict for SarrOn on Foul
Ends Case, Says Commission

TIME following statement in
regard to the Sarron-Bass
fight last night at Griffith
Stadium today was issued
by the District Boxing Commission.
The secretary of the Boxing
Commission, Boxing Commission
Inspectors Volkman and Mccarthy,
Referees Sheehy, Morris and Rey-
nolds were seated directly under the
corner in which Sarron was fouled
by Bass. The punch was clearly
seen. 1t was low uppercut that
rolled up the fabric in one leg of
Sarron's trunks and landed with
the 'plock' (metallic) sound of
foul.
How badly a fouled fighter is
injured never can be fairly stated
except by the boxer receiving the
blow. That is why the blow is foul.

Bass, before Livingston had time to

Island reports that plenty of trout
are being landed.
TINE heavy storm which visited
Chesapeake Bay last Saturday
did not improve fishing condi-
tions. AS a matter of fact it put a
damper on the fish biting and also on
the angler. Reports received Monday
stated that comparatively few fish
were landed anywhere.
Down in the Herring Bay district
! one angler fshed Friday, Saturday
and Sunday and hardly got bite.
Capt. Harry Woodburn at Solomons
Island, seeking blues Saturday in his
Speedboat, was caught in the storm
when his engine broke down and was
almost drowned with rain water. He
told us that the blues were still break
ing water around Cove Point Light,
but Saturday afternoon and evening
not only the blues but the sea trout
were affected by the storm and re-
fused to bite. However, Sunday the
fishes were again in their normal
stride and some good catches made,
the sea trout far outnumbering the
blues landed.
Capt. Roland England at Plum Point
Beach went out before the storm and
returned with 40 blues, some of them
weighing 3 pounds. Other boats got
into these fish and landed a goodly
number.
Capt. ]. L. Goldsborough at Piney
Point, following the storm, landed
rockf1sh, the largest weighing IL and
the smallest 212 pounds. He also said
he landed some blues, the largest
weighing pounds.
Forgetting the cares of government
for a time, Mayor William A. Carson
of Riverdale, Md, three members oi
the Town Council and other town
officials visited SolomonS Island over
the week end and landed about 10C
fish, mostly trout. In the party were
Anton Kracke, jr; w. c. Wedding. T
w. Venemann, R. P. Caruthers, Harry
C. Weeks, Milton D. Campbell anc
son. Jimmy; A. H. Seidenspinner, Bill
Brown and Al Smith of Riverdale ane
not New York. Caruthers caught the
largest fish, husky seatrout.
Fishing is improving all along the
Bay and its tributaries and from now
until cold weather drives the blues
and sea trout back into the Gull
Stream, anglers should enjoy the best
outings of the season.
We were shocked to learn of the
death of Capt. Edward Garvin Of
Tilghman Island Friday. This genia
captain, well-known to hundreds o.
local anglers was killed when hi
automobile collided with an ice truck
at Queenstown, Nd, on the Eastern
, Shore.
