THE NE w DEAL HAS been Of
great value in many ways. Who ever
heard of the Supreme Court making
over one decision every four years
prior to the advent of the New Deal!
Many people never heard Of the Su-
preme Court, or, if they ever did, they
thought it was merely . dignified
gathering of ex-active judges sitting
until they were pensioned off by 3
kindly government, or else died from
sheer ennui.

SUDDEN DEATH
OF A FORMER
CITY RESIDENT
MIR. George S. Turner, Of West
Chester, Pa, Expired Sud-
denly, March 1

Mr.. George S. Turner, of West
Chester, Pa, for many years resi-
dent of Pocomoke, dropped dead Fri
lay, March LIST, while calling at the
home of friend after attending Pre-
paratory Service at the Church in
West Chester where he was a reg
ular and faithful attendant. He had
been in ill health but had apparently
recovered. News of his death came
as shock to his many friends thru
out this section.
The funeral which was private was
held from his late home on Sunday,
March 3rd., his body cremated and
his ashes sent to his former home in
Williamsburg, Pa.
While making his home here Mr..
Turner was a member of Pitts Creek
Presbyterian Church and a regular
attendant at all church services. He
was also active in Sunday School
work in the church at Beaver Dam
and intensely interested in charitable
work. Since leaving here he has
made periodic visits to the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank D. Young, usually
over the weekend in order to attend
the church services. Before leaving
he never failed to call on as many as
possible of his old friends which were
many, and included both young and old,
rich and poor. His death is univer-
sally regretted by all who knew him.
Mr.. Turner is survived by three
brothers: William M, Howard H., and
H. @. Turner, of Pittsburgh, Pa, and
two sisters: Mrs. A. B. Coleman of
Williamsburg, Pa, and Mrs. R. S. Ell
berty of East Orange, N. J.

SPUD GROWERS
SHOULD SELECT
APPROVED SEED
Should Also Use Sanitary Meas
ures To Prevent Loss From
Diseases
DIR. ROBERT A. JEHLE
GIVES EXCELLENT ADVICE

If sweet potato growers would ex-
ercise more care in selecting seed
stock and use sanitary measures in the
seed bed, loss from diseases, such as
black rot, soft-rot, stem-rot, foot-rot,
and scurf, would be greatly reduced,
according to DIR. Robert A. Jehle, plant
pathologist for the University of
Maryland Extension Service. Most of
these diseases live over from year to
year in the seed, soil and seed bed, it
is said.
Seed potatoes should be inspected
carefully for disease, after which they
should be treated for five or ten min
utes in a solution of corrosive subli-
mate. This is made by dissolving A
ounces of corrosive sublimate powder
in one gallon of hot water, which is
mixed with enough cold water to make
thirty gallons of solution.
After ten bushels of seed have been
treated, the solution may be strength
ened by adding half ounce of COR
rosive sublimate, previously mixed
with quart of hot water, and suffi-
cient water to bring the amount of
solution to thirty gallons. The en-
tire solution should be renewed after
thirty bushels of potatoes have been
treated.
After the treatment DIR. Jehle adj
vises giving the potatoes second care
full inspection, as disease often shows
VI f5lRwing immersion in the solution.
He also advises treating the seed
bed with the left over solution, espec-
tally if any parts of the bed have been
used in bedding sweet potatoes before.
In covering seed beds, care should be
taken not to use soil or sand which
has been used for growing sweet po-
tatoes for at least three years prev
iously.
AS corrosive sublimate is a dead.
ly poison all leftover material, not
used on the bed, should be buried and
covered with earth and no potatoes
which have been treated should be
used for stock or table use. Wooden
or glass containers must be used in
mixing the solution, as corrosive sub
Innate will corrode metal.
If further details are desired, your
county agent, or DR.. Jehle, of College
Park, will gladly supply them.

TWENTY PER CENT CUT
IN POTATO ACREAGE

Sixty thousand acres of potatoes
have been the normal annual acreage
for Northampton and Accomac Coun-
ties, yielding 100000 barrels annual
ly. However, this year, through CO.
operative bargaining with the grow
ers, seed and fertilizer dealers, po-
tato. brokers and exchanges, each in
dividual farmer will be cut 20 per
cent on last years seed and fertilizer
purchases, which will result in not
more than $4,000 A. of potatoes
planted on the Shore this spring.
The Shore farmers have grown their
potato crops for the past three years
at a loss principally due, it is said, to
over production in all potato growing
sections Of the East, which has forced
the market below cost of production,
and the acreage cut in potatoes this
year is the first move towards diver
styling their crops.
Towards changing its agricultural
habits many other crops will be plant
ed this spring. Peas and tomatoes for
the canneries, snap and lima beans,
cabbage and strawberries for the early
markets will be greatly increased in
acreage with many growers planning
as a tentative experiment tobacco,
peanuts, cotton and fibre flax. Also
several farmers have turned in hogs,
sheep and poultry raising on much
larger scale.

RECENT ACCIDENTS
WILL EXPEDITE
CITY PASS-BY
Road Chairman Will Soon In.
!, spect Proposed Cutoff
At Salisbury

Two recent accidents at the Camden
street bridge, in Salisbury, resulting
in one death, have probably speeded
up matters relative to the long pro-
posed cut off, or bypass, which would
route trucks and other traffic through
new highway.
Assurance has been given that all
possible speed will be made toward
the naturalization of the proposed
city traffic bypass in a communica-
ton from Nathin L. Smith, chairman
of the State Roads Commission to
Senator o. Straughn Lloyd and Mayor
E. Sheldon Jones.
81 hope to visit Salisbury in the
immediate future, and will do all
can to speed the preparation of plans
and securing of the rights of way for
this improvement" the Commission
chairman wrote Senator Lloyd.
The Wicomico Senator last week
requested date be set when the Com
mission would hear a delegation that
would urge speedy completion of the
project.
The letter to Mayor Jones was in
reply to a communication from the
Mayor and Council calling the Roads
Commissions attention to two recent
accidents at the Camden bridge and
implying the accidents would not have
occurred had the bypass been con-
structed.
Stating he was "quite conscious of
the hazard to traffic to which you re-
fer, Mr.. Smiths letter continues:
"From the information I have been
able to gather since assuming this
office, the rights of way for the Sails
bury bypass will entail an expendi-
ture of around 100000. We are 60
ing ahead with the development of
this plan as expeditiously as possible,
and hope to make personal inspec-
ton of the route in the immediate
future.
Anything that I can do to prevent
the recurrence of accidents such as
those to which you refer, I will con-
slider not only a privilege, but a
duty"

RUMORS SPREAD
ABOUT JETTIES
UNF0UNDED
Letter To Congressman Colds
borough States Inlet Will Be
Finished This Summer
CONDITION CAUSED MUCH
CONCERN AT RESORT

Rumors relative to the jetties al
the approach of the Ocean City Inlet
have given the impression that thu
work already done was not effective
and that the stone work was fast
settling into the sea.
These reports seem to be unfoundet
as evidenced by the following letter
addressed to Congressman T. Alal
Goldsborough, from the War Depart
ment:
Honorable T. Alan Goldsborough,
House of Representatives,
Washington, D. c.
"Dear Mr.. Goldsborough:
"On a recent visit to this office
you advised the Department of
the apprehension expressed by
the Mayor and citizens of Ocean
City, Maryland, on the adequacy
of the jetties being constructed
by the Department to provide a
stable inlet to Sinepuxent Bay.
81 take pleasure in advising you
that General Pillsbury inspected
these jetties on March l and
found them in excellent condition.
He reports to me that there is no
reason whatever to fear that the
jetties will not be effective. 1t
appears that the contractor on
the work is desirious of extend
ing the operations under his con-
tract and has been representing
to the citizens that such extern
sion is necessary. It now ap-
pears that a period of about
weeks will be required to COM
plete the operations under the
breakwater contract. AS soon as
the termination of these opera
lions can be definitely foreseen
and the date of the removal of
the trestle across the bay assur-
red, contract will be let for
dredging the channel through the
bay and the inlet, which will re-
quire about 2 to 3 months. The
completion of the project is there
fore to be definitely foreseen this
summer"
every truly yours,

Major General
Chief of Engineers"

BROlLER ASSO.
ORGANIZES TO
HELP MARKETS
Delmarva BrOiler Producers AS.
ISOLATION Formed At Berlin,
Md, March 8
r.. G.. DRYDEN MADE
ONE OF ITS DIRECTORS

The Broiler Industry of the Delmar-
va Peninsula has organized to expand
the markets for its products. With
the object of aiding those who have
an active interest in the producing
and marketing of broilers and those
whose investments depend upon the
success of the Broiler Industry, the
Delmarva Broiler Producers Associa-
ton was formed at meeting held at
Berlin, Md, Friday evening, March 8.
All sections of the Peninsula were
represented in this timely cooperative
movement. Those who initiated it
feel that the gradual recovery of pur-
chasing power in the cities means in
creased demand for their products.
That new conditions in marketing
must be met and wider distribution
accomplished.
Over 100000 broilers are shipped
annually from the strip of land which
comprises the State of Delaware and
the Eastern Shore counties of Mary
land and Virginia. The climatic and
soil conditions here combine most fav-
orably for ideal development of the
"broiler" on a basis of quality. This
quality, Association members know
has been established in present mar
ket centers of Philadelphia and New
York and they intend that it shall be-
come familiar in other markets. They
are not to be merely "broilers" to
the consumer but "Delmarva Brothers,"
The Executive Officers of the As
ISOLATION are: President, Herbert
Barnes, Accomac, Va; Vice-President
Harry Wagamon, Milton, DEL; Sec'y
Treas. D. w. Steele, Ocean View, Del.

INTERESTING PROGRAMME
PREPARED FOR OCCASION

A delegation of thirteen members
of the Senior History Class of POGO
moke High School, attended the An
nual Peace Conference, held at WASH
ington College on March and 8. This
conference proved most interesting
and instructive in every way. The
primary objective of the leaders of
the conference was to impress upon
the minds of all, something of how
war is waged, its futility, and the
part each individual must play to
prevent future international conflicts.
DIR. A. C.. GODDARD, pastor of Nc
Cabe Memorial M. E. Church, in Will
mington, Del, and Miss Jesse S. Snow,
Executive Secretary of the League of
Nations Association IND. Branch)
were the principal speakers. They
were assisted, however, by many ca
pable and well informed leaders. DR..
Goddard very wildly pictured the alb
surdity of war, after developing the
of war, the mechanics of war,
and how wars are paid for. His con-
clusion was that any movement to
be worthwhile and lasting must appeal
to the emotional (referring, of course,
to peace movements), meaning that
a peace program must not only be
sane and logical but must also appeal
to the spiritual side of man.
Miss Jesse S. Snow, equally as i'm
pressive and convincing, outlined the
present world situation and emphasiz-
ed the necessity of international CO.
operation in the form of some organi-
zation; such as, the League of Ma
tions, to maintain peace among coun-
tries.
The discussion groups were concern
ed primarily with the problem of what
could be done to wage program of
peace. It was generally agreed that
and, perhaps, active par
in international organiza-
tions, such as the League and World
Court should be advocated; secondly,
that profit should be taken out of
war; and thirdly, an attempt should be
made to inform and crystalline public
opinion on the problem of peace.
All those attending the conference
felt well repaid and returned from
Chestertown with keener insight in
to the present world situation and a
greater determination to wage for
peace. The Pocomoke delegation con-
sisted of: Betty Coffman, Margaret
Holland, Katherine Reid, Virginia
Bunting, Anna Melvin, Florence Lew
is, Katherine Hottenstein, Emily
Sylvia Levin, Albert Como
