BOYS EXPRESS MUCH
PLEASURE IN OUTING

Scouts of the Pocomoke District

FARMERS SHOULD
FILE WORK SHEETS
FOR SOIL PROGRAM
Agent r. T. Grant Advises Fill
ing For Conservation Plans
By Tomorrow, June Is

Farmers who expect to take part
in the 1888 Soil Conservation program
should file work sheets with County
Agent R. T. Grant, Snow Hill, by June
18th. If you have given to the Coun-
ty Agent or to one of the supervisors
the 1896 and 1887 crops on your
farm, either in 1887 or 1888, it will
not be necessary to give this infor-
nation again as your work sheet is
already on file.
The filing of a work sheet in no
way obligates the owner or operator
of the farm. 1t merely supplies infor-
nation about the farm which serves
as a basis for participation in the
conservation program. However, the
filing of a work sheet for each sep
arate tract of land owned or operated
by a producer is a necessary pre-
requisite to the filing of an applica-
tion for payment.
Only those tracts of land operated
as unit may be included under a
single application for payment and
IN order for tract of land to be con-
sidered as a unit, information must
be filed by the above date showing
that it is being operated as a unit.

SPUD GROWERS
ATTEND POTATO
DEMONSTRATION
One Hundred And Fifty Met At
w. T. Pilchard's Farm
Thursday Of Last Week
MANY PHASES OF THE
CULTIVATION EXPLAINED

Approximately $50 potato growers
and others interested in the potato
industry met at the w. T. Pilchard
farm, one mile south of Pocomoke,
Thursday morning, June 9th, to go
over potato demonstrations located on
that farm.
Prof. J. E. Metzger, Acting Direc-
tor of the Experiment Station, ex-
tended greetings to the group and ex-
planned the work which the Expert
ment Station is carrying on with po-
tatoes at Pocomoke.
DR.. R. P. Thomas took the group
over the fertilizer treatment plots and
explained the effects of different fer
tilizer mixtures, the various applica-
tions and the effect of different lime
materials with their yields. The six
year average results showed that a
regular 6-6-5 made up with 20 per
cent nitrogen from fish, 20 per cent
from nitrate of soda, 60 per cent from
sulphate of ammonia and phosphoric
acid all from 16 per cent superphos-
phate and potash all from muriate of
potash applied at the rate of 1000
pounds per acre gave best results
where 900 pounds of dolomitic lime
stone was added. He cautioned the
growers, however, to be sure to test
their soil before deciding the type of
fertilizer to use.
The poorest yields were obtained
where all nitrogen was derived from
sulphate of ammonia. With sweet
potatoes it was found 3-8-15 gave
best results applied at the rate of
1900 pounds per acre. However, a
$50 applied at the rate of 1900
pounds per acre gave the highest re-
suits last year.
DR.. Ernest N. Cory, State Entomo-
logist, outlined the spraying demon
stration results. It was found con-
clusively that bordeaux mixture, wet
spray, applied at the rate of 1850,
that is, A pounds of copper sulphate,
pounds of hydrated lime to 30 gal
Ions of water, plus 2 pounds of cal
cium arsenate, gave the highest yields
during the past 6 years. The plots
where the calcium arsenate was spray

Unable To Extricate Itself From
The Cellar Position. New
Players Are Tried
PLAY GOOD BALL BUT
WINNING STRIDE LACKING

The Pocomoke baseball team seems
to have been jinxed by something or
someone for the last week as they
have been playing good ball, generally
but have been unable to "click". They
have had the 'breaks" of the game
all against them, it appears to OBJ
servers.
Owner-manager Ehlers announces
the signing of George Mellinger, of
Greencastle, Pa, short stop, who is
rated as very good ball player. He
has been playing ball at Hagerstown,
Md, and it is hoped that he will be
a valuable asset to the team.
Ehlers has put lots of pep in the
team since he has been manager and
Saturday night in the home park they
won a slugfest from the fredericksburg
nine, with II hits and IL runs against
z hits and 7 runs for the visitors.
An unusual incident took place when
each relieving pitcher batted out home
runs with mates on base to keep the
fans bowling with glee.
On Sunday they were defeated by
the Milford "Giants" by the score of
7-2. Boyce pitched very good ball
but the home boys could not seem to
get any hits back of him off the of
ferings of lefthander, Warwick, ace
pitcher for the Giants"

AUTO ACCIDENT
BADLY INJURIES
LOCAL WOMAN
Mrs. N. E. SartOrius Experiences
Fracture Of Both Legs
Last Sunday Evening
DIR. SARTORIUS ALSO is
BADLY CUT AND BRUISED

Mrs. N. E. Sartorius, wife of DR..
N. E. Sartorius, this city, is, at pres
ent, in the Maryland General Hospital
Baltimore, suffering from a fracture
of both legs, above the knee, several
broken ribs, and numerous cuts and
bruises.
DR.. Sartorius, while not so severely
injured, is a victim of many abrasions
and cuts, the most severe being
cash in his lip from tooth; several
stitches had to be made in this. He
is also nursing a bruised knee cap,
tho, fortunately, this escaped frac-
ture.
All this is the result Of an auto
accident in which DR.. and Mrs. Sar-
torius were concerned, and which oc-
CURED about 1880 P. NJ, last Sunday
as these two were returning from
Bloxom, Va. When about two miles
from Pocomoke, the Doctor, who was
driving, left the concrete to avoid
two cars which gave every evidence of
engaging in test of speed, as they
were running side by side.
The road was slippery, as the re-
suit of falling rain, and the Doctors
care either skidded or was catapulted
as its struck the hard shoulders in
the effort to get back on the road bed.
It turned over, possibly several times,
and its occupants were injured as
stated above. Miraculously, they es-
capped fatalities.
The two cars mentioned, did not
stop, evidently not knowing that ane
accident had occurred. Passersby
soon came to the assistance of the
wounded, and Mrs. Sartorius was
brought to Pocomoke by Mr.. Malcolm,
Bundick, this city. She was trans
ferred to the Dennis and Watson am
bulance and hurried to Salisbury. Af-
terward she was transferred to the
Baltimore institution, where her son,
Norman, Jr., is an inferno.
Latest reports are to the effect
that Mrs. Sartorius is doing wonder
fully well, when the nature of her in
Juries are considered. DR.. Sartorius
has not yet regularly resumed his
professional work, as he has not fully
recovered from shock and the result
ing stiffness following his painful
shake-up. They are subjects of con-
gratulations from their many friends
that no more serious consequences re-
suited from this most unfortunate
happening.

from the
Democrats S Pen
from the

Well, Sir, see by the papers that
INV old friend and chump, David j.
Lewis, says he don't want no med
dim New Dealer interfering with ms
campaign in Maryland to beat out
Millard Tydings for the U. S. Senate.
Now, imagine little Johnny had a
similar opinion and feeling when ne
ACCOMPANIED his dad to the wood shed;
but the little shaver got what was
comm to him, and I imagine, well
laid on. And if David J. don't look
out. there's something coming his way
like what fell on Johnny's superstruc-
ture-a darn good ickin'.
Wonder how my pal, Lewis, expects
to hide that New Deal outfit. There
isn't a sheep skin large enough in
this country to cover that hide. Peo-
pie got eyes. He amt throwing dust
into many optics. He says he don't
want no speechmaking by any ad-
ministration pump primers to help
him get votes.
Why. bless Peter, there are lots of
things that speak louder than words,
and no matter how loud D. j. speaks,
he can't subdue the intense silence OF
his quiet entrance into this Maryland
primary campaign. "My friends" he
is a marked man, and he can't erase
the brand any more than Johnny could
eliminate the parental role from the
little drama staged in the background
of the fuel pile. Wonder what ne
imagines he can do? Throw off his
shoulders the burden he bore prior to
his announcements? He's got a job
on his hands; and, if he don't look
out, Tydings will make that load SO
heavy before election, it will be all
burden and no Lewis.
BY the way, I saw this week a lit
tie statement from one of the boys l
"brung" up, practically; at least, it
was one by the same name, and L
think he's the same joy and sorrow
I met up with when I was posing as
an instructor of youth in the days of
long, long ago. Maybe some of you
people saw it. It read something like
this:
1t appears that Congressman
David J. Lewis, in announcing
his candidacy, for the U. S. Sen
ate, is to run on strictly Roose-
felt Rubber Stamp" platform.
Any person, regardless of who
he may be, that agrees to be
Rubber Stamp, for anyone else,
regardless of who he may be, does
not merit serious consideration,
much less being elected to any Of
flee within the gift of any people,
and it would be serious reflec-
tion upon the intelligence OF any
state to elect such person.
