POST OFFICE IS
TO Be ERECTED
ON LEDNUM LOT
Information From Washington
Definitely Settles LOca-
ton Of Building
OPERATIONS EXPECTED
TO BEGIN SHORTLY

Mr.. r. I. Lednum received on Thurs
day morning yesterday a letter
from Washington affirming the selec-
ton of the 81. H. Merrill" property,
as the site of the new post office
building. The site is, at present oc-
cupied by Mrs. Harrye Whyte who
has, very successfully conducted a
boarding house there for several
years.
The house standing on this lot was
originally owned by A. Sydney Stew
ems, lawyer, and father of A. Fl.
Stevens, ST., of This city Mr.. Stew
ems built the house in 1870 and lived
there till his death 1t afterward pass
ed into the hands of /. H. Merrill,
and after his death it was purchased
by the late F. M. Wilson At his
death it became the property of his
heirs, but at the time of the sale to
the Government was owned by Mrs.
r. I. Lednum, daughter of Mr.. Will
son.
From the letter mentioned above to
Mr.. Lednum, it is inferred that engi-
neers will soon be on the ground for
measurements and that building opera
tions will be started in the near flu
ture. The full text of the letter from
the Treasury Department is as fol-
lows:
TREASURY DEPARTMENT
Washington
r. /. Lednum
and
Ella M. Lednum,
Market and Second Streets,
Pocomoke City, Maryland
Sir and Madam:
The site described in your proposal
in connection with the land to be- ac-
quired by the Treasury Department
for a new Federal Building has been
tentatively selected.
Construction Engineer L. A. Zier-
nicki will, in due course, arrive in
your city, and request is made that
you permit him to enter upon the site
for the purpose of making a survey
and soil investigation.
In order to hasten the preparation
of drawings and also to avoid the de-
lay and expense to you of furnish
ing a Venir's survey as required by
your contract sale. the Postmaster
will later deliver three blueprints of
the Government survey to be used as
follows: One copy is for the abstrac-
tor, one for your files and one copy,
with proper endorsement, should be
sent without delay to the Director of
Procurement, Treasury Department,
Washington, D. c.
Upon receipt of the blueprint with
signed certificate that the correct
boundary lines and dimensions of the
land which you propose to convey to
the United States are as shown there
on, consideration will be given the
matter of accepting same in lieu of a
Vendors survey.
Your cooperation in facilitating the
prompt completion of the survey OPP
erations above outlined is earnestly
solicited in order that the design of
the new building may be achieved as
quickly as possible.
Very truly yours,
Neal A. Melick,
Supervising Engineer
There does not seem to be much
activity among the bidders for the
proposed Municipal Building, none
having been received by the City
Clerk at this writing. There is still
a week left, however.

FARM GROUPS
WILL CONVENE
IN BALTIMORE
Combinations Of Affiliated AS
sOciatiOns. Will Enhance
Interest This Year
FOR MEET
NOT YET COMPLETED

One of the largest groups of farm
ers ever to gather is expected to at
tend the. annual patrons meeting of
Southern States Cooperative which
will be held in Baltimore for the first
time this year. The date has been
announced by General Manager w. G..
Wysor for Tuesday, November 10, and
more than thousand farmers are
expected.
Interest and attendance of Mary
land farmers will be increased this
year because of the combination, last
July, of the Southern States Coopera-
tive with the Agricultural Corpora
ton of Maryland, an affiliated CO.
operative of the Maryland Farm Blu
reau, according to H. H. Nuttle of
Denton, president of the latter or
ganization. Farmers in the vicinity
of eleven cooperative store points and
more than hundred distribution
points in Maryland are directly inter-
ested in the cooperative purchasing
and manufacturing program of the or
CARNATIONS, according to Mr.. Nuttle.
The Southern States Cooperative is
regional organization covering Mary
land, Delaware, Virginia, W. Virgin
ia and North Carolina, and farmers
from all of those states are expected
to attend the Baltimore meeting. The
organization, which is handling a six
million dollar annual volume in the
manufacture and distribution of farm
supplies has feed and fertilizer fac
tories in Baltimore, Roanoke and
Newport News. Headquarters Of the
organization are in Richmond, Va.
Program of the meeting has not
been completed, according to Mr.. Wy
sor, but one or two speakers of ma
tional reputation are expected to ap-
pear in addition to executives and
leaders of the three organizations
represented at the meeting.

FIELD INSPECTION
JUST COMPLETED

The first field inspection of seed
potato fields for certification has just
been completed by DR.. r. A. Jehle,
Specialist in Plant Pathology, Univer-
sity of Maryland, and r. t. Grant,
County Agent of Worcester County.
Most of the fields are in good con-
dition excepting for the presence OF
a few diseased plants in the fields.
The two diseases which are most pre-
valent are leaf roll and mosaic.
The second field inspection will be
made during the week of September
21st and at this inspection fields will
be disqualified for certification if
more than one plant in a hundred is
found to be diseased with leaf roll or
mosaic. In roguing the entire plant
should be dug out with the seed piece,
placed in a sack and removed from the
field to prevent the spread of the
disease to healthy plants. Mosaic can
be recognized by the dwarfing of the
plant and crinkling of the leaves.
Leaf roll plants can be recognized by
a rolling of the lower leaves combined
with dwarfing. Leaf roll plants u.s.
ually spread out more than normal
ones and are lighter in color. In both
of these diseases the tubers are US
ually set very close to the control
stem, often right on it.

EXTENSIVE WORK IS
SEEN ON SECOND ST.

Considerable activity is seen, at
present. on Second Street, above Lin
len Avenue. Here WPA projects are
materializing in the way of ditch
draining, sewer building and street
extension.
Levels are being changed to prevent
flooding when unusual rainfalls oe-
cur. A large ditch has been dug ex-
tending from the Pocomoke River out
to an intersection of Linden Avenue.
Across Second Street a sewer as big
as the ditch will be laid, and it GER
tanly looks as if deluging the street
will now be impossible.
North of this sewer crossing, Sec
end Street is being extended to the
city limits, which carries it to the
trees on the elevated portion of the
property long known as Hearne's Hill.
With this street completed, attractive
building sites can be obtained on both
sides.
1t is the intention, so it is said,
of the City Council to relay the sur
face of both Linden Ave., and Clarke
Avenue; the former from Fourth to
Front; the latter from Vine to Lin
den. Both these sections have long
been in need of repair, and residents
are anxiously awaiting relief.

NOW
PUTTING OVER
FINANCE DRIVE
Peninsula General Hospital Sets
Mark OF Ten Thousand
Dollars
WORCESTER SHOULD
GIVE ITS SUPPORT

The Directors of the Peninsula Cen
eral Hospital are putting on drive
for much needed funds, action to start
en- Monday, October 5, and the goal
placed at $4,000.
The Democrat" takes pleasure in
giving it's approval of this effort to
improve the financial condition OF its
institution, recommends it to the SYM
pathy and support of Worcester coun-
tians, and trusts that liberal contrl-
button will come from this section.
The absence of a hospital in Wor-
cester county, makes the Wicomico
one as much, almost, local refuge
as it is for the neighboring commun-
ity. Therefore it should be supported
to the limit.
In letter to the Democrat" from
the Chairman of the Hospital Drive
Committee, I. L. Benjamin, he says:
"Actually only about one third OF
the patients receiving hospital SER
vice pay the full cost of this service
The other two-thirds pay only a part
or nothing at ALL"
The salisbury Times" in an article
relatives to the hispitaPs work with
auto victims, says:
"a new type of patient has been
attending the Peninsula General Hos
pital in ever-increasing numbers in
recent years, attaches of the insti-
tuition say.
"They are patients with shattered
limbs, crushed skulls, Jagged wounds,
brought to the hospital to the accom-
paniment of a state policeman's mo-
torcycle siren. They are the victims
of automobile accidents on the Del
marva peninsula.
Accident cases have punctuated
the run-of-the-mill operations and ill
nesses at the institution, and have de-
manded instant action to preserve a
life. Staff members point to the large
percentage of recoveries from serious
injuries, attributing them to immed-
late surgical care"
These cases, many of them, are Of
the charity sort, and, of course, a
drain on the hospital finances. The
"Drive" should be popular, and re-
ceive a liberal response.
