the county officials under the Afore-

BASKET BALL

SATISFACTORY
Seasons Work Shows Marked
Advance Over Past Per-
fOrmanceS
GIRLS AND BOYS ARE
TRLCOUNTY CHAMPIONS

Both the boys ana Cne SIIlo De"onNO
hall teams of the local high school,
met defeat last week at the hands OF
the two teams representing the Cam
bridge high school, after Pocomoke
had won the championship of the three
lower counties of the Shore-Wicoml-
co. Somerset and Worcester.
Princess Anne girls, in an elimina-
ton contest, defeated Salisbury but
were overwhelmed by the Pocomoke
sextet. The Crisfield boys were eliml-
mated by Salisbury, and Pocomoke put
Salisbury out of the race with VIC
tory that had only one-point margin
-18 to II. Then the boys and the
girls of Cambridge had to fight it
out with the boys and the girls OF
Pocomoke for the Shore Champion
ship.
Success in basketball, up to the
point where only one game stood be-
tween them and the Championship OF
the Shore, was rather a new exper-
ience for the local cagers, and they
went into the contest with their
ne YES wrought up. At least, that
was plainly seen in the girls game
played in the local Armory. The
boys settled their differences at Cam
bridge.
No one looking on the game the Po-
comoke girls put up against Princess
Anne, could easily believe it was the
same aggregation which played so
well against the Somerset champions.
However, a horse seems to be going
down the road pretty fast, until some
other horse comes up and passes by.
Cambridge looked very strong against
Pocomoke. Pocomoke looked weak a.
gainst Cambridge, and, to many, she
looked weaker than she really was
It was somewhat a case of the "jit-
ters." Still, Cambridge had little
forward who didn't seem to know how
to miss the cords, and it was reported
that the boys wouldn't have objected
W lSI playing Will 1AAOhA'
The boys" game at Cambridge seem
ed to have been a repetition of the
local contest, so far as equality OF
play is concerned. Both Dorchester
teams won by large scores. Cam
bridge is an old stager in these Cham
pionships and doubtless went into the
fray with stouter hearts.
Both boys and girls of the POGO
moke High, are to be congratulated
in carrying their school as far as they
did during the basketball season
Specially are the girls due for COM
mendation for their improved show
ing. It has not been long ago that
athletics at the Pocomoke High School
have felt the drag of the girls lack of
either spirit or ability, and in county
field meets Pocomoke has lost many
times due to female defeats. There is
a big improvement along this line.
The boys, in basketball, have gen
orally given a good account of them
selves in the county, but have seldom
been able to shine in eliminations.
This year they made the finals, and
are deserving of great praise therefor.
The trainers come in for share of
praise, and the effect of their coach
ing has been abundantly evident. AL
together, it has been a most success
full year for Pocomoke High basket
ball.

MEETINGS HELD
FOR DISCUSSING
new FARM ACT
County Agent Grant States 1t
Is Necessary That Potato
Acreage Be Reduced
DETAILED STATEMENTS
AS TO THE SOIL UNITS

Meetings were held in Worcester
County the past week giving the
farmers information regarding the
new Farm Act as it applies locally.
The program this year has been chang
ed considerably from that of the past
few years. According to r. T. Grant,
County Agent, it will be necessary
that farmers make 10 per cent re-
duction in their average potato acre
age, including early and late paintings
with the exception of those producing
three acres or under, who are exempt
from the 10 per cent cut. However,
the three acre man must hold his acres
to three acres if he participates in
the program.
Wheat growers will be given an
acreage allotment also which will be
based on the average acreage the past
two years. The cut on wheat will be
Is per cent. In many cases where
farmers have planted in excess of
their allotment this year their excess
acreage may be taken out of other
depicting crops.
There are three important factors
that farmer must keep in mind in
going along in the 1888 program;
first, the total number of units which
he must earn in order to get his maxi
mum payment, second, keep within his
potato allotment and, third, do not
plant beyond the total number of de-
pleting acres which will be allotted
for each farm.
A number of soil building units may
be met locally in the following ways:
one unit will be allowed for plowing
down rye, crimson clover, vetch, bar
ley, wheat, oats, sudan grass, millet,
sown corn, soybeans, cowpeas, or a
mixture of any two or more plowed
down; one unit will be allowed for the
seeding of red clover, alfalfa, lespe-
deza, crimson clover, sweet clover, al
sike clover, pasture mixtures other
than timothy and red top alone, white
clover, orchard grass and vetch; the
planting of 1 acre of forest trees
counts as units; Soybeans or cow
peas following a depicting crop left
stand or plowed under counts as one
unit; Summer legumes such as soy
beans or cowpeas interplanted with a
depicting crop plowed under or left
stand on the land counts one-half unit
(such as beans or peas planted in
corn at the last cultivation).
The use of lime counts as follows:
Where 1000 pounds of ground lime
stone is applied per acre this counts
as l IA units.
700 pounds of hydrated lime per
acre counts 1 IA units; 500 pounds of
burnt lime counts as l Ia units; Ap-
plication of 300 pounds of 10 per cent
super phosphate on legumes or grass
es (does not mean soybeans and cow
peas) or on permanent pasture counts
as / unit; The application of 200
pounds of 80 per cent muriate of
potash or it's equivalent, counts as 1
unit.
Farmers are advised as soon as
possible to get in touch with the
Count Agents office, so that they
may be given the information listed
above.
Those cooperating in the 1887 pro-
gram will receive checks in the very
near future according to word just re-
ceived from Washington. These will

predictions regarding their exhibits indicate that the rarest items of early Connecticut antiques will be dispaleyd. Early Dutch Colonial and early American period antiques will be shown by dealers and collectors from Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York. Northern New England will be represented by dealers from Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont and Massachusetts.
 For the first time in history" Di- rector Kohnstamm said, "Connecti- cut residents interested in antiques will be able to view the finest coi- lection of antiques ever gathered. It would take an individual fully two months to travel through the states and inspect the items which will be exhibited here.
 "Several of the dealers have promised to display single pieces which are valued at $20,000 and more."

The com- mittee on rivers and harbors of the house of representatives adopted a resolution May 12 requesting . re- view of reports on the harbor.
 Col. E. L. Daley, division engineer of the North Atlantic division was assigned by Maj. Gen. Julian l.. Schley, Chief of Engineers, U. s. Army, to prepare the report, while the field investigation has been as. signed to Lieut.. Col. John s. Brag- don, district engineer for the army at Providence, R. I.
