MRS. RETA WIMBROW
DIED FRIDAY 22ND

The passing of Mrs. Reta Wimbrow,
estimable Chincoteague woman, is
noted with regret by many here. Mrs.
Wimbrow died at her home on the Is
land Friday of last week.
Funeral services were held from
the M. E. Church at Chincoteague
Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock.
Mrs. Wimbrow was fine christian
character and was active in church
work, fraternal circles and other or
CARNATIONS until i'll health compelled
her to curtail her activities along
these lines. Her interest in her home
and her work remained alive until the
end. A member of Accomack Chap
ter No. 62 Order of the Eastern Star,
she was secretary of that organiza-
ton for ten consecutive years.

This was discussed at great length
and since Mayor Wrightson has had
the matter in hand and was not pres
ent, nothing of a definite nature could
be learned other than the railroad Of
ficials have refused to consider such
move.
1t was stated by one of the men
present that one prominent official
of the Pennsylvania Railroad is ex-
pected to visit Easton in the next
week or two and it was arranged that
conference be held on this subject.
In the discussion different term
inals for bus line out of Easton were
discussed, but the one which seemed
to meet with the approval Of the ma
jority was to have the line end at
Wilmington where more trains could
be met for New York of other points

ANNUAL SOIL
TESTING DAY
FOR FARMERS
Thursday, February 4th, Farm
mers Will Assemble I'm
Gladding's Garage

The annual soil testing day for the
farmers Of Somerset county will be
held this Thursday, February 4th.
Meetings will be held as follows:
Pocomoke, Gladding's Garage, $3.50 A.
NJ, to 2 P. M. Princess Anne Court
house, 2:3O to p. M.
During the past few years over 300
soil samples have been tested foh
more than 200 farmers. The truck
growers as we'll as the general grain
and hay farmers have found that it
is necessary to have test made of
their soil to determine the lime re-
quirement.
Probably next to drainage of the
land, one of the limiting. factors in
crop production is too acid soil.
The best results from fertilizer can
not be obtained if there is not suf-
ficient lime in the soil.
1t is considered good business by
a large number of farmers to have a
yearly check made on their soil in or
der to determine the lime require
ment. The testing of the soil elimi-
mates some of the guess work in ap-
plying lime, as you can't tell the a
mount of lime necessary unless test
is made of the soil.
The soil samples should be taken
several days before the meeting, so
that they will be fairly dry. Do not
heat in oven to drive off moisture.
The testing of soil for lime re-
quirements will be free and there is
no limit to the number of soil sam
Piles that will be tested for an in
dividual.

SOIL TESTING
MEETINGS FOR
WORCESTER co.
Series Has Been Scheduled For
Worcester County Farmers
Starting February 2

A series of soil testing meetings
for lime requirements have been
scheduled for Worcester County farm
ers to be held at the following places
next week:
Berlin, Tuesday, Feb. End, p. M,
Municipal Building.
Newark, Tuesday, Feb. End, 7:3O
p. M, Fire House.
Snow Hill, Wednesday, Feb. 3rd, 10
a. m, County Agents Office.
Stockton, Wednesday, Feb. 3rd 2
p. M, Fire House.
Pocomoke, Wednesday, Feb. 3rd
1880 p. M, Gladding's Garage.
1t is suggested that farmers take
their soil samples just as soon as pos
sible, drying them out so that they
are in condition for testing at the
time of the meeting. However, these
samples should not be heated.
The sample should be taken out OF
the top six inches of soil and can be
taken easily with spade. One-halt
to one point of soil per sample is
ample for lime test.
Local growers are using this ser.
vice more and more every year thru
this county. In many cases it means
the saving of considerable to the farm
ers when it is not necessary to buy
lime. On the other hand, where lime
is needed, it is of great assistance to
the grower in getting his maximum
yield.

Horace Mann, Great Educator"

competently-manned free public schools were necessary to the suc- cess of self government.
 Denounced Slavery
 Tn later life this great educator spent four years in congress, dur ing which he spent all his ener- gies denouncing slavery. He be- came a leader in the crusade for human freedom. As a speaker he ranked with Daniel Webster, the great orator of his day, and the high regard in which these two men were equally held in Massa- chusetts is symbolized in the placement of their statues, which stand today, one on either side of the state house at Boston.
 The closing days of this great educator were spent as president of Antioch college at Yellow Springs, Ohio. Here in the young west, Horace Mann saw a chance to build a college of great influ- ence. It was to be open to both sexes and all races at a time when women had few opportuni- ties for higher education and negroes were still slaves. Char acter was to count equally with scholarship, and much good was accomplished in this college which still looks back reniniscently up- on the tall spare form worn with work and suffering, the face yet young and eager, the white hair brushed back square of the fore- head-the face of Horace Mann the Father of the American Pulp lie school who was ashamed to die until he had won some victory for humanity"
