years in the local drug firm of Lloyd,

the Fertilizer and Supply Companies
for bringing about reduction Of at
least % per cent in the acreage plant
ed in early potatoes this year as COM
pared with the acreage planted in
1884, and putting the committee in a
position where it should at least have
an opportunity to market the 1885
crop profitably.
The Committee cannot help from
making the observation that coopera-
ton in marketing is just as essential
as cooperation in planting, and wish
es at this time to express the hope
that the selling agencies will show the
same spirit of cooperation in market
ing the crop as they have shown in
planting it.
The committee is composed of: B.
Drummond Ayres, Chairman; J. Miles
Landlord; James E. Turner, Wallace
Jones, William S. Nelson, Jr.

BERRY PRICES
CONTINUE TO
Be PROFITABLE
Growers Bid Fair To Realize
Good Money On The 1885
Strawberries

The strawberry crop promises to
bring to the ashore" an amount OF
money which will be big boon to the
growers. This week, the fruit has
been selling from two dollars to five
dollars per crate at Pocomoke
and elsewhere. The average price,
growers say, is 81 to $1.50 higher than
that received for early shipments dur
ing the 1884 season.
Hundreds of berry pickers from
Maryland, Delaware and Pennsylvania
have moved in for the season. They
receive two cents quart.
Reduced refrigeration, express and
trucking charges have given growers
hope for higher profits this season.
Assurances of delivery on large north
ern marketing centers also make for
higher prices. Railroads have agreed
to run strawberry specials" this sea-
son and more berries will be shipped
over rails this year. Trucks cut heav-
lily into rail shipments last year.
On many small farms the straw
berry crop is the largest single growth
of the year and the years success of
many small farmers depends, in a
large degree, to prices received for
their berries. Strawberry production
on the Delmarva peninsula has devel-
oped rapidly in recent years from the
small patches tended by tenant farm
ers to large truck farms, now doing
business.

CHILDREN GET
THRILL FROM
BOLD PIRATES

HONG KONG, Feb. 2. W.a)-Forty
British and American school child
ren, more thrilled than frightened
by their four -day adventure In
which they were at the mercy of
Chinese pirates, reached here un-
harmed today aboard the s. S.
Tungchow.
The pirates released the Tung-
chow yesterday in Bias bay, motor
ious outlaw rendezvous, when Bri-
tish airplanes approached In search
for the missing ship.
Most of the children, members of
missionary families, carried cart
ridges and pieces of cloth as SOU
venirs of their exciting experiences.
The Tungchow was enroute to
Chefu on the Shantung peninsula
when pirates seized the steamer
Tuesday. Apparently the outlaws
had boarded the craft at Shanghai
and waited until she reached the
open sea before striking.
American children aboard the
Tungchow when she was captured
included John and Ethel Quimby,
Phoenixville, Pa; David and John
Harris, Kelso, Wash; and Franklin
Pearl and Joan Swenson, Jersey
City, N. j.
