SEVERE STORMS STRIKE
PARTS OF COUNTY FRIDAY
Hail and Wind Do Hundreds of
Dollars of Damage in GrantsvilIe
and Friendsville Sections
LIGHTNING STRIKES HOME

Garrett county's comparatively
lengthy dry spell was broken last Fri
day with severe hail, wind and rain
storms which caused hundreds of dol.
lars of damage in various sections.
The rain, however, was also beneficial
to pasture and late crops and replen-
ished water supplies which in many
cases were getting extremely low.
The hardest hit town in the county
appeared to be Grantsville. A severe
hailstorm struck that community
around 2:3O p. m. Friday, breaking
out hundreds of window panes facing
the west Many panes were broken
out of the Grantsville school building.
Numerous street lights were smashed
by the huge hailstones some of which
ranged from one to one and half
inches in diameter. The Yoder school
building, near Grantsville, was I'M
rooted
Lightning and hail were accompan-
led by deluge of water which pound
ed the community for about ten
minutes. Roof tops were damaged and
number of automobile tops were
ripped off. Fruit and unharvest"d
crops were severely damaged. The
storm also put a number of the main
telephone lines out of order in that
section and some residents of Grants
vile were without phone service for
several hours. Lightning was re-
ported sharp throughout the entire
section.
In the Friendsville area a hailstorm
was reported on Friday afternoon
with only minimum damage, as there
did not appear to be any wind at the
time, but the wind in near-cyclone
proportions returned Friday evening
and moved the Rush church on itz
foundation, causing an estimated dam
age of 5000, ripping up number OF
outbuildings in that neighborhood and
blowing down a number Of trees. A
large maple tree at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. Clarence Wicklow was blown
down. The barn on the property Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Leslie Friend was also
blown down damaging their son En-
mett's car. Numerous trees and light
and telephone poles were forced down
b,, +ba terrific wind
At the Promised Land, near Hutton,
the farm home of A. Pearl Sanders
was struck by lightning on Friday
destroying his electric plant and caus-
ing damage to several rooms in his
house, but fortunately no fire resulted
At Deer Park on Friday morning
during a thunder storm two horses
owned by R. H. Lee were struck by
lightning had killed. The horses were
standing near a barbed wire fence.
The total rainfall from Friday I'M
til Monday evening was 3.18 inches,
according to the government records
at Weber's, near Oakland. The wealth
er turned noticeably colder following
the first storm on Friday and regular
fall weather has prevailed since that
time.

gas or oil, which they feel sure is
there.
Several development companies
have about every acre of ground under
option for mineral rights and have
kept these options over a period Of
years, landowners in that vicinity
every year receiving checks for their

an acre. A number of years ago drill
ing operations were undertaken at
Accident but they came to an end
when the tools were lost in the hole at
depth of 1000 feet or more, and
could not be recovered. 1t was esti-
mated at that time that they would
have to go 1000 feet in order to strike
gas or oil.
Just exactly what would happen at
Accident should such a well be sue E
cessful, can hardly be imagined. Il
would be the first well of its kind in
Garrett county and certainly would
create a hustle and activity new to
this territory 1t would increase land
values immensely and of course create
comfortable incomes for those upon
whose farms there would be wells. An
oil well would give the land owner
every eighth barrel it produces.
Only 5000 more feet to go and then
they'll know, and The Republican IS
hoping for the best there is.

tee will determine if the action was
contrary to the cotton marketing
quota regulations.
The AAA found last year that in
some cases farmers with red mark
citing cards managed to sell their
excess cotton through other farm
ers who held white cards and whose
cotton was not subject to penalty
AS a result, records kept by ginners
and buyers credited the white card
holders with more cotton than they
actually produced. This erroneous
data gave their farms a higher yield
per acre than that to which they
were entitled.
Floyd said all cases in which mark
eting cards appeared to have been
misused are being investigated.
Where violations are found, the rul-
ing for Withholding payments will
be applied.

much without hope as perditiOn.
Yet you have the temerity, to all
but ask others to live in your hope
less, dark, Goddess world Shame on
you, my dear boy.
According to your philosophy, if
you were perchance passing well
into which man had fallen, you
would, instead of trying to get him
out, yell down to him to be of good
cheer, that possibly in the cons of
time the law of gravity would be
reversed and he would fall out
Your great mind and wonderful
learning has put you on the top of
a high atheistic mountain. 1 believe
you will fare better if you stay up
there, but please don't kick down

life is nothing but the blind will to

Reservoir
Silt Causes
Huge Damage

College Station, Raleigh, July 25.
Damage estimated at more than
$4,000 annually is caused by mil
lions of tons of soil sitting into %
Piedmont North Carolina municipal
reservoirs, Dr. c. w. Forster, agri-
cultural economist of the State col
lege Experiment Station, said to-
day.
With Alexis N, Garin, of the Soil
Conservation Service, DR.. Forster
made an economic survey of %
reservoirs in the Piedmont, con-
tanning SO per cent of the i'm
pounded public water supply of the
region.
Proper erosion control measures
carried out on lands draining into
these reservoirs would result in
substantial savings, possibly as
much as one-half the damage an
nually after the first four years.
These conservation measures would
include reforestation, strip crop
ping, terracing, cover crops, and
other approved practices.
DR.. Forster said soil erosion con-
troll work on the High Point city
lake WdCSISIlCO S0IV0S dS d OdSlS lOI
this estimate. In 1884, survey of
the million-dollar High Point reser-
voir showed that the storage capa-
city was decreasing at the rate of
almost one per cent year.
After less than four years of in
tensive erosion control work on the
watershed, another survey was
made which showed that streams
flowing into the reservoir at High
Point deposited only half as much
sediment as they did four years
before. -
The % reservoirs, located mostly
on small streams out from towns,
were constructed at an original cost
of more than $8,OOO,OOO. In many
cases the reservoirs are located at
the only available sites for munich
pal water storage for these cities.
The job of making drinking
water out of silt-laden river water
calls for large and expensive filter
devices, a high electrical power
cost, and much more time to COM
plete the process than is the case
with the clearer water.
