Old Father Time, the avaricious elf.
Adds golden days to his uncounted pelf
And hides them, in his ruthless love OF

Where wistful memories plead and seek

Amid cloak Of clouds, the glowing sun,
Fades from the view. The twilight has
begun.
Old Father Time. still eager to purloin,
Into his purse has dropped another coin.

RETENTION OF
{. c. c. CAMPS
BEING URGED
Present Program Calls For Dis
continuance Of 80 On
April First

A Subcommittee of the Steering
Committee Of the House of Represen-
tatives, consisting of the following
Members, Congressman Jed Johnson
of Oklahoma, T. Alan Goldsborough.
Maryland, Clarence Cannon, of Mis-
souri,, Frances E. Walter, of Pennsyl-
vania and Hardin j. Peterson, of Flor
ida, called on President Roosevelt this
week and urged retention of C. c. C.
Camps.
The present program is to discon-
tinue 80 camps on April 1 and 600 a
little later. The Committee pointed
out to the President that the C. G. G.
Camp agency of the New Deal has the
general approval of the entire coun-
try, that the results had been out
standing, both in the work accomplish
ed and the great increase in the NOR
ale of those who were in the Camps.
1t was further pointed out that the
very rigid restriction that only those
who were on relief were permitted to
go into the camps should be relax
ed, so that borderline cases, or those
in need of employment but not on re-
lief rolls, should be admitted.
Congressman Goldsborough stated
that the interview was very satisfac-
tory, and that he is very hopeful the
number of camps will not be reduced.
Mr.. Goldsborough has also made a
personal plea to the membership of
the subcommittee of the Appropria-
lions Committee considering the an
nual appropriation for the Biological
Survey, to grant an increase in the
funds for the bureau that would en-
able the establishment of a wildlife
school and demonstration station at
the University of Maryland it was
learned.
The matter was first brought to
the attention of Mr.. Goldsborough by
E. Lee LeCompte, Maryland State
Game Warden for the past fifteen
years, who is also vice-chairman OF
the committee on wildlife.
The subcommittee considering the
appropriations for the next fiscal year
for the biological survey is headed
by Representative Cannon dem.
Mo-. Mr.. Goldsborough said while
the members of the committee did moi
commit themselves, his request was
received cordially. Mr.. LeCompte
said such a station at the University
of Maryland would be of great bene
fit to the State.

RED CLOVER
ALFALFA ARE
APPROVED SEED
Farmers Advised Only Seeds
Produced Satisfactory
Crop Will Qualify
co. AGENT EXPLAINS
1897 PROGRAM

Farmers of Worcester County are
advised that only approved red clover
and alfalfa seeds that will produce
a satisfactory crop, judged able to
survive the winter, will qualify for
payment in carrying out soil-building
practices under the 1897 agricultural
conservation program, County Agent,
r. T. Grant states.
Red clover and alfalfa seeds which
will be recognized as approved under
the 1887 program are: Adapted do
nestle seed (not stained) and Canad-
ian seed Il percent of seed stained
violet).
Red clover or alfalfa seeds from
foreign sources (stained 10 per cent
orange red, or red, or per cent
green) will NOT be considered as ap-
proved seeds, and the seeding of such
seeds will not qualify for payment as
a soil-building practice under the pro-
gram. These varieties stained orange
red, red, or green are foreign seeds
that are not generally adapted to the
climate and soils of this area.
In connection with the rate per
acre of ceeding, Mr.. Grant, explains
that any rate which is recommended
by the State Agricultural Conserva-
ton Committee or the Extension Ser
vice in 1887 will be approved in carry
ing out a soil building practice. In
order to make best use of supplies
of adapted red clover and alfalfa
seeds, it is expected that farmers will
give particular attention to the opera
ton of sowing or drilling seed and
the application of lime and fertilizer
where needed to secure a good stand.

TEXACO BOYS
SWAMPED BY
ACCOMAC QUIN1
ArmOry Team Victorious Over
Delmar Hornets By
Score 31-36

The Texaco basket ball five were
swamped on Wednesday night of this
week by visiting quint from Acco-
mac. The score was SO to 16 in
favor of the Virginians.
The poor showing Of the home boys
was due to their inability to locate
the basket They had, probably, as
many chances. as the victors, but the
ball simply would not drop.
The. Accomac boys, on the other
hand, seemed unable to miss. Shots
were made from all "angles, and some
most difficult losses were in evidence.
Both teams showed a lack of effec-
tive defense.
After the above game, the Armory
team engaged the Delmar Hornets ir
the court contest, and the Delaware
boys didn't have their usual sting
They lost to the locals by score Of
81 to SO.
The local management would go fa1
toward retaining interest in thes'
games, if there were more attention
paid to a starting hour. Spectator
are kept waiting for the play to be
gin by what looks to be too long {
period devoted to practice. The team
members have a very nice tim'
manipulating the ball, and seem II
forget that spectators are not al
much interested in that part of tn
exhibition as they are in the game
they came to see.
Of course, everyone knows athlete
teams engage in practice before thu
hour for regular play. But there
seems to be no definite time for tn,
Armory games to get going. The!
start whe ever the players see fit
1t would be well to advertise an houl
for the battles, have the preliminar
les all over beforehand, and then gee
busy. This would be eminently NOR.
satisfactory to the fans that make w
the attendance.
