RASPBERRY CROP
EXCEEDS LAST YEAR
Total of 10000 Bushels Elk
pected From Crop Now
Being Picked

The present indications are that
the raspberry crop this year in
the raspberry section of the coun-
ty will exceed the crop OF last
year by approximately 5000 bu-
shells. Last year the crop around
Keedysville, Rohrersville and adj
jacent communities, amounted to
$4,000 bushels. This year. if ia
vorable conditions continue, the
crop will. be at least 10000 bush
els, according to a report from the
berry center
While most of the raspberries
come from the iKeedysville4Roh-
rersville section, berries also are
produced in considerable quaint
ties around Boonsboro, Mapleville,
Smithsburg, Chewsville. Cave
town, Fairplay and Ringgold.
All of the berries raised in this
area are of fine quality and
bring good prices on the Pitts
burgh market, where the majority
of them go; however, some go to
Washington and Baltimore.
Raspberries began moving to
the city markets last Monday.
when 425 crates were shipped.
These reached Pittsburgh on
Tuesday and the price realized
was 80 cents per box. Most of
the berries are shipped in crates
of 81 boxes Cor quarts) while
some few are placed in larger
crates.
The height of the season will be
about July 1, unless cool weather
should hold back the ripening pro-
cess of the berries.
This county, which is famous
for it's berries, fruits, vegetables,
ETC., will have a succession of
crops from now on during the sea-
son. Following the raspberry
crop will come blackberries and
dewberries and then lima beans
follow, until the frost comes in the
fall.

CONTROLLER CITES
FEDERAL AGENCIES
Congress Given Examples
of illegal Contracts and
Expenditures"
~ the ASsocia ted Press.

~ the Associated Press.
The controller generals office has
dispatched to Congress report citing
about 100 examples of alleged illegal
contracts and expenditures" by vari-
Gus Government agencies, it became
known last night
A single group of the cases was
said to involve about $1.0O0,0O0, while
others were for smaller amounts.
The report was sent to Vice Presi-
dent Garner and Speaker Bankhead,
officials explaining that the law re-
quired that such data be laid before
Congress.
The charges are made at time
when the Senate is considering the
administrations reorganization bill,
which would abolish the post of con-
troller general, lodging his duties in
the director of the budget and a new
auditor general
Senator Byrd, Democrat, of Vir-
slnia. and other opponents of the bill
are considered certain to use the re-
port as a weapon in their fight. Byrd
has contended that if the bill went
through only a post-audit of Gov
ernment expenditures would be made,
whereas at present the controller gen.
eral audits expenditures before they
are made.
Democrats favoring the reorganiza-
ton bill replied that the Budget Di-
rector would be empowered to recover
money illegally spent. Senator
OMahoney, Democrat of Wyoming
added that the Controller General
actually passes only upon "31a per
cent OF funds before they are spent.
There is absolutely nothing in the
reorganization bill to prevent Con-
eress from exerting ample control over
its funds" Mr.. O'Mahoney said.
Early this year a quarrel broke out
between the Acting Controller General,
Richard N. Elliott, Republican. and
Secretary of the Treasury Morgen-
thau. Mr.. Elliott accused the Treas
ury of failing to cooperate on ac-
counting practices. Mr.. Morgenthau
replied that Mr. Elliott was guilty of
"peremptory, arbitrary and capricious
actions"

| ny EhANA BUN ONEAkAAI
DETROIT, May let would
surprise no one who follows the
fortunes Of the Washington Ma
Itionals If Wesley Ferrell, veteran
righthand pitcher, figured In a
trade before June Is.
There was something more than
a managers whim expressed the
other day in Boston when Bucky
Harris left Terrell in the box to
take a thorough beating at the
hands of the Red Sox.
Harris undoubtedly wanted to
see if Terrell had enough on the
ball to stop the Sox. Well, the re-
suits of that game confirmed the
evidence Of Ferrell's other games
this year.
The Nationals have enough men
hanging around now to make
some sort of a deal. If they can't
trade with a major league outfit,
they certainly should be able to do
something with a minor league
club. They have Terrell and
pretty nearly any other pitcher;
Goslin, Wright, and maybe Sim
mons, despite the latter's brilliant
flash the other day.
SWITCH WAS MADE
One or more of these men to a
major or the right minor league
club, with a dash of money to
build up the deal, should get a
pitcher for Washington.
Terrell was included in the deal
that sent Buck Newsom and Ben
Chapman to Boston in exchange
for Rick Terrell, Melo Armada and
Yves Terrell. Bucky Harris wanted
Fitz Ostermueller for the pitcher,
but Cronin and Yawkey got to
Griffith, and Yves Terrell was
shipped instead of Ostermueller.
The pitching of the Nationals
seems to be reverting to tripe. De
Shong almost blew q long lead and
a game to the Tigers in the final
game of the East VS.. West series.
The alleged pitching in the Boston
series was enough to turn your
hair gray. Leonard, who stopped
Cleveland and Bob Teller, was
beaten by the Sox for the second
time in succession.
President Clark Griffith re-
Gently issued statement to the
effect that the Nationals didn't
need any pitching beyond what
they had.

club, certainly is not in accord
with his manager. Bucky Harris
