Going North

Movement of the famous Ridge
way canteloupe crop to northern
markets is getting under way, and
truck, it was learned today. The crop
this year is said to be of unusually
fine quality, thanks to favorable
growing seasons.
Shipments so far have been very
small, and volume sales will not be
reached much before next week or
possibly a trifle later.
It was understood from reliable
sources here today that the Seaboard
Air Line railroad plans to inaugurate
a special canteloupe train to north
ern points in a week or two to be
continued possibly two weeks, or un-
til the crop is mostly sold. There will
also be heavy shipments by trucks
direct into the northern markets.
Ridgeway canteloupes have for
years been a favorite food in ex-
elusive hotels and other establish
ments in Philadelphia, New York and
other centers, and are often listed
on menus as "RidgeWay canteloupe," !"
it is said
Most of the crop is grown in the
vicinity of Ridgeway, Is miles north
of Henderson, though the crop is of
sizeable proportions also around
Manson and some at Middleburg.
But Ridgeway is the principal ship
ping center.
The delicious taste and flavor Of
Ridgeway cantelopes is said to be un-
excelled when the melons are pro-
duced in favorable growing seasons,
and this has apparently been one Of
that kino The crop is said to be large
and of excellent quality this summer.

Welfare Board Can't Help Min
ers, As Funds Are Scarce

At meeting of the Garrett County
Welfare Board on Monday evening,
applications for assistance coming
from the mine areas at the present
time were discussed and it was the de-
cision of the board that because of the
lack of funds it would be impossible
to assist this group.
Miners have been idle for several
weeks awaiting the outcome of the
controversy between the operators and
the United Mine Workers, and in addi-
ton to a number of them requesting
direct relief, they have also applied
for unemployment compensation. No
decision as to whether or not they are
entitled to the latter, however, has
ever been announced by the depart
ment head in Baltimore.
The Welfare Board granted thrae
old-age assistance applications.
Joseph F. Fahey, chairman of the
board, and Miss Ethel Miller, execu-
tive secretary, are planning to attend
the Statewide conference to be held
in Baltimore on May Is, for the pur-
pose Of discussing recent legislation

Cotton Marketing
Cards Required In
Ginning of Crop

College Station, Raleigh, Sept. %.
Cotton marketing cards are re-
quired to be used by all cotton
growers and they must be presented
to ginners and buyers at the time
cotton is ginned or sold, it was an
nounced today by E. Y Floyd, AAA
The marketing cards are now
available in the offices of the coun-
| ty farm agents, except in a few
cases where farmers overplanted
J their acreage allotments and it has
been necessary to recheck their
farms, Floyd stated.
Ginners and buyers are subject
to a penalty if they do not make
proper and prompt reports to the
AAA committee in the county from
which the cotton came as required
under the Agricultural Adjust
n4ent Act the Triple A official de-
clared. All growers are required to
SHOW their marketing cards to gin
rers and buyers regardless of
whether a red, white, or blue card
was issued 10 them.
"Under no circumstances are
marketing cards transferable, and
no grower is allowed to sell cotton
or have it ginned in his name
where the cotton was produced on
farm other than the one for which
the particular marketing card was
issued, Floyd said. "Growers with
more than one farm should be care
full in reporting to ginners and
buyers the cotton produced on each
farm
It was pointed out by Floyd that
where growers names and serial
lrumbers are not properly shown
on the buyers or ginner's report by
reason of failure of the grower to
pi esent his card to the ginner Or
| buyer, the County .AAA committee
is required to withhold both the
agricultural conservation and the
cotton price adjustment payments
| from the grower until such re-
| ports are correctly made.
