driven over the large island. The
campaign was well planned and nicely
executed.
The crows were outwitted in every
way. If they were about to land the
gun report caused them to seek other
landing places, only to be kept on the
wing until they were dropped or re-
treated to other places.
1t was nearly dusk when the sports
men boarded the boat for the return
trip. They were very well pleased
with their work, some bringing home
a few birds, claiming they are the
equal of chicken. There seems to be
no reason why they shouldn't, for they
feed on eggs, grain, etc., foraged
from the surrounding mainland during
the day.
All kinds of subterfuges are used in
killing crows. There is call whistle
some hunters blow which is a very
good decoy, but on Poplar Island this
is not necessary. The sky is black
with the birds as they return for the
night, and the faster the sportsmen
can reload their guns the more crows
they kill. It is question of loading
and reloading. The birds are there
and no delay is seen. It is a contin-
uous bombardment from the time the
first lot arrives until it gets too dark
to see them or they stop coming.
This is the second trip made to
Poplar Island this season. The first
trip the weather was very stormy,
and only few made the journey on
the rough waters of the bay. But
Tuesday the weather man favored
them somewhat and the crowd was so
large that the big boat had to be put
into service.
Harvey Samis had the expedition in
hand. He made all the necessary ar
rangements and at least a thousand
less crows will be stealing eggs. etc.,
on the mainland from now until the
next brood is Matched out and becomes
large enough to make their own living.
BY that time Mr.. Samis says, another
expedition will be formed and another
trip planned. To keep the population
down the sportsmen have to keep on
the move continuously.

SPORTSMEN SHOOT CROWS
ON POPLAR ISLAND

About seventy sportsmen journey
ed to Poplar Island Tuesday Of last
week bent on reducing the crow popu-
lation by at least thousand. To say
that they accomplished their purpose
would not be far from the truth. In
fact, many believe that about 1900
crows were slaughtered as they ar
rived on the island to roost for the
night after foraging on the mainland
all day.
Sportsmen from Dover, Seaford
Denton, Salisbury, Preston, and the
surrounding country Joined forces with
Talbot sportsmen. They drove to
Tilghman, since the large boat was un
able to dock at loves wharf, where
the guners generally leave.
Once on the island, the men were
stationed all along the shore hidden
from view by the trees. AS the crows
reached the island they were greeted
with shot and shell and evidently re-
celved very warm reception. Crows
were found strewn all along the shore
line.
The sport began as soon as the
crows started for roost. They came
in great swarms, and the sportsmen
were busy pumping hot shots, at the
flying birds, not giving them a chance
to land. Poplar Island, is made up of
three islands, one large one, jefferson
Island being the roosting place of the
crows. Outposts were established on
the other two islands to prevent crows
from landing there once they were

HEN is A VICTIM TO
OVERWHELMING AMBITION

There's an old saying, "hard work
never killed anyone" but according to
Mrs. Herman Bozman of Champ, this
does not pertain to chicken. After
finding one of her prize hens dead,
Mrs. Bozman was collecting up the
eggs when she found one that was
enormous in size. She displayed the
hen fruit in Princess Anne, Thursday
of last week, where it was found to
measure eight and one half inches a.
round from end to end and seven and
one.half inches around the middle and
weighed A ounces.
Mrs. Bozman said, she is confident
the deceased barred rock laid the
mammoth egg.

WORLD ALMANAC TN CIRCULATION.
54th Edition Records ''MiI- lion Facts" for Study,
 Reference

The World Almanac for 1939-the fifty-fourth annual number-has arrived in new dress and ar- rangement and is now on sale here. In it are recorded million facts, in such concise, accurate and easy- to-get-at-form that old readers never fail to buy it and new read CTS join up each year. Try any subject-agriculture, commerce, em- ployment, manufacturing, radio, sports, strikes, trade, vital statistics
 each is represented in The Alma nae, many with comparative data from foreign countries.
 Irvine Editor
 Edited by E. Eastman Irvine, the 1889 Almanac has been reset in a type easier to read. New sections and new features also have been added. One new section is devoted to the New York Worlds Fair 1889. This section of approximately 10,- 900 words, with map of the grounds and routes to the Fair, gives a detailed description of the exposition, the amusements, trans- portation facilities, hotel, housing and automobile parking accommo- dations.
 The $50,000,000 Golden Gate h. ternational Exposition in San Fran cisco also draws attention. Spon- sored by eleven Western States as The Worlds Fair of the West, it will present the picture of the de- velopment of that section in the Pageant of the Pacific"
 Another new section deals with radio and television, giving a con- else history of each; also chron- ology of radio. The growth of radio, the number of sets in use in the United States, the sale of radios and apparatus, the number employed and on the payroll of the industry, the number of stations all these are treated in the Radio Section.
 But with these additions the old features have suffered no neglect. The record of the Year, Memorable Events, Scientific Progress-all re- main, as interesting and as replete with facts as ever. Here, too, are changes, Government Rosters, Edu-
