GENEROUS RAINS

Generous rains, at last, nave come

an eleventh-hour reprieve. a let-up

Gus ones, 1t seems. Our farmers had
CHANGED the last of their resources
in a last vain attempt. Government
aid has been cut more and more,
and outside interest lost. 1t began
to look as tho an American Sahara
was indeed to become actual fact.
A farmer recently asked a pub
Usher why the papers had not made
known 10 the world the desperate
situation we faced. The publisher
replied that he had been criticised
for what he had already published
about the situation. 1T hurts bus

that this suppressing policy of the
business and professional men is the
cause of government aid being sc
niggardly and filled with red-tape !
or course there's been opposition
from eastern sources who have a fl

WILLIS WHARF MAN
GETS GASOLINE AWARD

j. F. Ward, of Willis Wharf, Va,
was the winner of the 100 gallons of
gasoline, offered to the one guessing
the closest to the number of miles per
gallon negotiated by a Studebaker
Dictator car, on Saturday last, as the
machine travelled over a distance of
$50 or 300 miles.
Mr.. Wards guess was 1919 miles
per gallon, which was exactly correct
no more, no less. Two others haz-
arded the same guess, and the three
names were put into a hat, with the
result that Mr.. Ward was the lucky
ticket. H. w. Mccain, of Girdletree !:
and Miss Pauline Sparrow, of Tasley,
were the others.
The cars route extended as far
north as Delmar and south to Cape
Charles. Crisfield, Berlin, Snow Hill
and Onancock were taken in as side
routes. The auto was sealed against
all chance of interference, and the
contest created wonderful amount of
interest.

NUMBER OF CASES OF
ARMY WORM OUTBREAK

There has been a number of cases
of army worm outbreaks most of
which have not been very severe in
Worcester County the past week or
ten days. When the infestation is light
as it has been this season, good results
can be obtained by scattering a poison
bran mixture in the fields where they
are feeding, or across the line of
march.
These worms attack young corn, to-
matoes, hay and grain crops. A very
good bait for the control of this in
sect can be made as follows: rs lbs. of
dry bran, 8 gallons water, 2 quarts
cheap molasses, Id. sodium arsenate.
Water, molasses and sodium arse
nate should be well stirred together
and then mixed in the bran, so that
every flake of bran is moistened.
The poison bran bait should be scat
tered in the late fternoon at the rate
of about 8 pounds to the acre.
For further information get in
touch with the office of the county
agent, r. T. Grant.

award for scholastic achievement and
an award for recognition as the best

The valedictory award given Miss

senior years. Unusually prominent in
various extra-curricula phases during
her two years at the Mary Lyon
school, she was member of the var

of the varsity basketball team for
two years and of the varsity hockey
team for two years. She also saw SER

POCOMOKE Nine
NOW OUT OF
CELLAR PLACE
Club Seems To Go Well Most of
The Distance I'm It's Games,
Then C0llapses
PLENTY OF TIME YET
TO IMPROVE POSITION

The faithful were rewarded last
Sunday, at the local base ball park,
by seeing Pocomoke come under the
wire a winner over fredericksburg, by
a score of to 3. Harris pitching a
wonderful game and getting good sup
port from the other players. On Tues
day and Wednesday Dover beat them
6 to A and 10 to 2. On Thursday they
came from out of the cellar position by
trouncing Cambridge Is to 6. Harris
again pitched a good game.
A casual observer would notice that
the team seems to be poor finisher.
1t puts up very creditable article of
ball for a large majority of the in
nings, and then the balloon goes up.
Just how this is to be remedied, is
difficult to say. A catcher who knows
how to steady young pitchers, is a
great asset, and a manager, who
knows his FINGERS well enough to
make quick decisions as to when they
are through, is another big advantage.
Possibly all Pocomoke's diamond ag-
gregation are not sufficiently we'll &C.
quainted to work tremendously as yet.
The season has nearly three months
to go, and the fans should hold their
heads up and show the boys they will
be supported, but supported better
when better playing materializes.
A regrettable demonstration against
the umpire in last Tuesdays game
marred the contest. While it is per-
fectly possible for the arbiter of the
game to make mistake, yet it is
highly probable he will make fewer
than the fans will from their positions
on the seats.
The truth of this statement, is OBJ
vious from the fact that spectators
view close plays from many angles;
and, consequently, have many versions
as to the sort of decisions should be
rendered. The umpire is close to the
scene of action and he should infinite
ly better located to see just how the
play is made and render his judy
ments accordingly. If he does not al
ways see it just right, the fans should
remember that they would probably
err more frequently.
The story is told that an umpire
