SAILING AND BOATING


The Chesapeake Bay Country is
without an equal when sailing, rae
ing, and boating come to life with
the summer season. To the Irish we
owe the hobby of yachting for in
1920 the Water Club was organized
at Cork to promote sailing and rae
ing. There are in the Chesapeake
Bay Country IL yacht clubs conduct
ing annual regattas that draw thou
sands Of people.
The newest thing in yachting
seems to be model yacht clubs. Paul
Mention in the Baltimore Sun has
given lot of space to this new sport
this year. John P. Thompson and
Edward Hanks of Oxford; Edward
Lewis of Queen Anne; Capt. Higgins
of the Claiborne-Annapolis Ferry
Company; Arthur Aikenhead, Eastcn
Point; and Vester Fike of Easton
spend lot of their spare time b1ild-
ing model yachts.
Among the sailing enthusiasts we
find the names of Harry T. Thomas,
Rising Sun; William Mason Shehan,
Jr., and A. l.. Benson of Easton'
Caulk Kemp, st. Michaels; H. M.
Gorsuch, Perryville; Howard" Wells
of Crisfeld; and Patsy Raskob Of
Pioneer Point Farm near Centre
vile.
In 1851 an American yacht won
the Queens Cup at Cowes, England.
That proud racer, the America, re-
turned to the United States and is
now tied up at the Naval Academy
wharf, Annapolis. The cup this boat
! won is still held by the United States
despite the millions of dollars Cap
tain Upton spent in his effort to
| take it back to England.
A lot of boats and yachts on the
rivers and bays is a good sign Of
prosperity for it is said that a yacht
is the most expensive luxury. This
year all of the rivers, bays, and an
chorages are filled with newly paint
ed boats. One of the prettiest an
chorages is at Georgetown on the
Sassafras River where one can see
almost every type of boat except full
rugged clippers and so far as this
column has been able to learn there
is not one left on the Bay.
| 1t is expected that many of these
boats will attend the Fishing Fair on
ISeptember IL and take part in the
nautical parade during the after
noon.
| Boats were mans first transport
tation on the Eastern Shore; now
they are probably the outstanding
avocation with hundreds of yachts
men and anglers coming in from the
nearby Metropolitan centers.

CORN NEEDS MAN JUST AS MUCH
AS MAN NEEDS CORN

Students of genetics in the United
States Department of Agriculture
call maize, or Indian corn, "the most
completely domesticated grain, quite
incapable of maintaining itself with
out man." None of the Old World
cereals such as wheat, barley, or rice
has reached this high degree of de-
pendence on human care, says J. H.
Kempton of the Buraeu of Plant
Industry.
."'How, when, and where corn was
domesticated are three questions
often asked but never answered., he
says. Though there is corn OF
primitive people, there is no such
thing as primitive corn. The Oldest
ears known are as highly developed
botanically and as completely di-
vorced from wild plants as the best
of our commercial varieties.
"The most ancient corn known is
that of the pre-Incas of Peru. Well
preserved ears in the graves or these
people duplicate the varieties grown
in the same region today. A thou
sand or more generations have made
no changes. Charred corn from the
Mound Builders of the Ohio Valley
resembles corn grown by Indians in
the Middle West"
The nearest relative to Indian
corn known to botanists Is the grass
generally known by it's Aztec name
of teosinte. But if corn developed
from teosinte, Mr.. Kempton says, the
manner of development can only be-
surmised. 1t is believed. however,
that the advance of genetic knowl-
edge may unravel the mystery Of
maize.

AL MEMBERS FOR MARY
LAND UNIT

Farm Bureau leaders in nearly all
of the 20 county organizations in
Maryland are joining in an effort TO
build membership in the organization
in Maryland, according to c. E. Wise,
Jr., secretary of the Maryland Farm
Bureau Federation. August is eX-
pected to be the month during which
most of the county groups will do
membership solicitation, he says.
Membership in the Maryland
Farm Bureau, like most other or
CARNATIONS slipped back in 1882 and
1888 due to financial conditions" re-
ports the Federation's secretary.
During the past two years member
ship has increased nearly 70 per
cent over the state as a whole, and
four new county organizations have
been formed. At the annual meet
ing of the organization last January
goal of 5000 members was set for
the state this year, and county cam
paigns are now under way in an at
tempt to reach this goal"
|. Counties conducting membership
work during July and August in
clude, Carroll. Frederick, Washing
ton, Baltimore, Cecil, Prince Georges
and Montgomery, according to Fed
Grafton headquarters at Baltimore.
Other counties on both the Eastern
and Western Shores will set definite
dates during September and October.

PRODUCTION

Flint, Mich, Aug. Squared by
record-breaking deman dcontinu-
ing month after month, the produc-
ton of Chevrolet cars and trucks
passed the $4,000, 000-mark here to-
day, the last million of that all-time
total having been built in almost
exactly eight months. The announce
ment was made by M. E. Coyle,
president and general manager of the
Chevrolet Motor Co. The number of
cars and trucks built since introduc-
ton of the 1886 model is now L.
$4,000, he said.
Achievement of the 18th million
car milestone in the companys his
tory was fastened, Mr.. Coyle said, by
the sustained demand which these
products are enjoying all over the
country, and the increased produc-
ton facilities which, installed year
ago, have enabled the company to
keep pace with that demand. Even
with those facilities, he said, it has
not been easy to build cars and
trucks as fast as they were wanted
in the field.
The steady accelation of Chevro-
let's manufacturing operations is
shown by production figures from
1912, the company's first production
year, down to the present time. 1t
took until 1928, eleven years, to
build the first million units. The
second and third millions were
reached at two-year intervals there
after, and the fourth and fifth mil
lions in 1928. The sixth, seventh
and eighth million were attained in
the three years succeeding, the ninth
in 1888 and the 10th in 1884. The
II, 0OO,000th car was built Dec.
1895, and, like the 12,OOO,O0O, just
completed, was a 1886 model.
Number 100000, Mr.. Coyle an
nounced, will be displayed in Detroit
and at the Great Lakes Exposition in
Cleveland prior to being driven to
Dallas for exhibit at the Texas Cen
tennial.

In the parlor 1 was sitting,
While Lizzie did her knitting,
And she counted out the stitches DER
and Ger
1 had read the daily paper,
Till it mingled in Vapor,
And 1 found myself awakened by
snore.
Then I heard creeping-cheeping.-
Like a ghost of Nora sweeping
Phantom cobwebs from the shutters
overhead
Scarce the wind that made that
whistle!
Then my hair began to bristle,
With an eery sense of horror and of
dread.
So I sat there, rocking, rocking
While kept up that dreadful knocking !;
And 1 told myself I knew it was the
wind;
For Lizzie still was sitting,
Never needing, ever knitting,
(But l thought of whom Ia cheated,
when I'd sinnedD
Then the creepy sound grew stronger
1 could stand the strain no longer,
But threw open wide the shutters and
did roar,

Amid the swishing, tapping,

And cried, You're sure an i'll assert

The Crow replied, "Be-Caws"
But the Owl rebuked me with CLASSY

And 1 said, What will you bet,

The Crow said, II never teach

SHELTERBELT PASSES FIRST
TEST

The much praised-and equally
ridiculed-New Deal plan for estab-
fishing a great "shelterbelt" of trees
across the plains of the West remains
very much alive despite refusal of
Congress to appropriate money for
it's continuation.
According to latest Forestry Ser
vice figures, 100000 trees have
been planted in the area, of which
S1.2 per cent are reported to have
lived despite severe drought" This
figure is considered by proponents of
the plan a sufficient answer to SCOT
fers who claimed trees could never
be made to grow on the plains. Be-
fore the white man the plains pro-
duced nothing but grass.
Norris L. Cooke, chairman of the
Presidents Great Plains drought
area committee, announced that
money has been found from previous
allotments with which to keep work
going on in the shelterbelt. Recur-
renee of the drought has tended to
revive support for the idea

YOUR STARS AND NUMBERS
BY John Rands

For the weekly period August a.
20, incl, the planet of Mentality,
Mercury, is in unfavorable aspect
with the planet of Finances, Jupiter.
During this period, especially during
14-15-16, guard against confusion
and error in all financial matters,
and avoid speculation.
Mercury forms another aspect of
importance during this period-This
second aspect is to Saturn, planet of
consolidation and limitation. This
aspect warns against loss through
partners and allies unless caution
and patience be used.
The period is dominated by the
numbers 5, and 8 and the letters
of the alphabet corresponding to
these numerals.
Persons born about Dec. 6, Sept.
7, March and June of any year
are particularly subject to influences
making for confusion in business
and financial matters during this
period.
Persons born about March 10,
Sept 10, and June IL, are subject to
loss affecting their personal, occupa-
tional and partnership affairs. Be
prepared to hear disappointing news
during this period. Old matters and
those older, parents and the aged, in
particular, may bring bad tidings.
