They were on opposite sides of the

SPUD GROWERS
SHOULD PROCEED
TO WINTER PLOW
Fall Or Winter Flowing Is One
of The Best Ways To Reduce
Injury From Leaf Blight

Although many Maryland tomato
growers finished picking their toma-
toes only few weeks ago, those who
are on their toes will plan to fall or
winter plow to control disease in next
years crop, according to Herman A.
Hunter, Canning Crops Specialist for
the Extension Service. Fall or win
ter plowing is one of the best ways
to reduce injury from leaf bights
which normally take a toll of 10 per
cent or more of the tomato crop.
The common leaf blights are caus-
ed by microscopically small, mold
like plants which are able to live over
winter on large number of weeds
as we'll as tomatoes, potatoes, egg
plants, and other related crops. These
organisms survive the winter and in
feet the tomato crop the following
year if the plants are left above the
ground. However, experiments by
the University of Maryland and the
U. S. Department of Agriculture have
shown that these organisms may be
controlled if all plant material is
turned under and the better the job
of turning under, the better the con-
troll. Fall or winter plowing is still
advantageous, even though tomatoes
were not planted on the land the prev
ious season.
Mr.. Hunter says that soils that are
subject to erosion should not be plow-
ed in the fall unless a cover crop is
planted to protect the soil from wash
ing. Sod land may be plowed in the
fall or early witer with comparative
ly little damage unless the slopes are
steep. Ordinarily the land should be
left in the rough burrows until spring.
Since the leaf blight diseases are
widely distributed from field to field
during the growing season it must
be expected that late infections will
occur regardless of previous control
measures. Any measures which aid
in delaying the infection until later
in the season give the plant a chance
to make a normal growth and to set
a good part of the fruit before the
diseases become serious.

and said he was ready to send any,

P. AND 7. ASSOC.
Held MEETING
THURSDAY, IA
Met In The Auditorium Of Local
High School Building. Large
Attendance Recorded

The November meeting of the Par
ent-Teachers' Association was held
in the music room of the high school
building on Thursday evening, No
vember IA, at s o'clock, with the
president, Mr.. Eldred Hill, presiding.
There was a large attendance in spite
of the inclement weather.
Plans were made for a bake to be
held for the benefit of the cafeteria
at the elementary school, and Mrs.
r. C. Taylor was appointed chairman
of a committee to be in charge of the
bake. It was also decided that the
next meeting of the association would
be held in the elementary school
building, and that those attending
would take articles of food that could
be used by the cafeteria. 1t is hop
ed that a large number will be pres
ent at that time, and that each one
will remember the needs of the cafe
terra.
This year the organization is
studying "The Child and His Com
munity" under the able leadership of
the Program Chairman, Mrs. v. c.
Krabill. At the November meeting
the question of the desirability of
homework for children was discussed
in connection with the subject for
the month, "The Home and the Fam
ily." Talks had been prepared on
the subject by Mrs. R. c. Taylor,
Mrs. Johnson Payne, Miss Julia Rob-
ertson, and Mr.. Ernest Holland, after
which there was an interesting dis
cussion in which all present partici-
pated. In connection with this sub
ject, there was discussion, too, of
the various grading systems and
their merits.
At the December meeting the pro-
gram will center around the subject
of nutrition and especially lunches
for children. A survey is now being
conducted which should give much
valuable information to be used in
planning this program.
The prize of one dollar for the
home room having the largest per-
centage of parents present went to
Miss Chesser's room.

RAP. FOX AT
ROTARY CLUB
LAST MONDAY
Tells Some Interesting Exper.
fences Of His Travels In
European Russia
NEW MEMBERS TAKEN
IN AT THE MEETING

Rev. H. P. Fox, D. D., pastor of
Asbury Methodist Church, Salisbury
was the guest speaker for the Rotar-
ians on Monday evening last.
DR.. Fox entertained the club in a
most enjoyable way, by relating some
of his experiences while he was
travelling in Russia. He graphically
described the customs of the people;
and his trip along the route leading
to this immense country, was enliven-
ed by many thrilling and educational
incidents.
The speaker, among many other
references, spoke of rather novel
feature of one of the restaurants he
visited. In the center of the room,
was large tank containing live fish.
IF you should include one of the fin
ny tribe in your order, the waiter
dipped one out of the tank with q
net, cleaned, cooked, and served to
you, and you were definitely assured
you were getting something fresh.
In connection with the tank, he also
said, that it depended upon the way
you requested drinking water wheth-
er you would be served with good
quality of "aqua pura," or whether
the waiter surreptitiously dipped you
a glass from the glass house of the
fish.
The entire address was most pleas
ing and was appreciated by the entire
membership of the club.
President, R. Harlan Robertson
was glad to welcome back into men,
bership Godfrey Child, Esq, who, a
few years ago, resigned, but has
shown his estimate of the Order by
renewing his association with the
club.
In a former meeting President
Robertson took occasion to receive
Mr.. Elton Mason also as new mem
ber. Mr.. Mason's classification is
"Canning." Messrs. Child and Mas
on constitute the two latest additions
to the Order. Others are expected
soon to become members.
