NEW YORk-The national de-
Tense commission has arranged
contracts for the purchase OF 15o,-
900 tons of crude rubber-fi financed
by the RFC. The amount isn't
entirely for government account
Domestic consumers are involved
At current prices the transaction

urging larger takings.
Here's the plan submitted. Pur-
chase to be made of full year $
supply of normal consumption ~
100000 tons; the crude rubber TO
be stored in Canada; the British
to sell directly 10 the United
States. which in turn will offer to
domestic consumers at cost or
reasonable profit should prices
skyrocket.'
Autos-Auto trade insiders say
the large dealers stocks of 1910
models will aid the industry rather
than be a thorn. This because out
put of 1941 models may not run
80 large in volume as did that of
1910 models. And that will be due
to rearmament work taken up by
the industry. Moreover, 1941 model
prices will run slightly higher due
to increased steel and accessory
costs.
Supremacy-Of the 9,5l2 Ameri-
can warplanes ordered by the
French and British, slightly better
than 5000 were delivered. But of
that amount lip were training
ships-of no use in actual combat.
Some 900 planes are still waiting
to be shipped across the high seas.
Plane shipments from now on
will be made up of bombing and
pursuit ships. Deliveries will not
start in bulk until the autumn
months. Advices are that If Great
Britain holds out until then, Eng

that of the Nazis because of better

SOMERSET FARMERS HAVE
LARGE TOMATO ACREAGE

Undiscouraged by the recent floods
of cold rain with frost and ice forma-
ton over the last week or two, Som
erset farmers last week were making
large paintings of their Georgia
grown early tomato plants.
Truck load after truck load of Geor-
gia plants have been arriving in Prin
cess Anne every day last week and in
only the first three days of the week
fully 100000 plants had arrived
there. With approximately 5000
plants equipped to plant an acre, this
represents 500-acre planting in the
vicinity of Princess Anne, with an ad
ditional similar acreage being plant
ed in the Marion Crisfield. This
amounts to one-eighth of Somerset's
major truck crop planting of approx
mately 5000 acres, which places this
county as one of the leading tomato
growing counties in the eastern Uni
ted States. Local growers are pay
ing $500 to 1925 per 1000 for the
Georgia plants delivered in Princess
Anne. The vast majority of the
plants are of the "Marglobe" blight
resistant variety.
In addition to the early plants many
local farmers were also planting to-
mato seed for the midseason of late
crops this week, Formerly home
grown late season plants were the
only ones used in the local canning
industry, but for number of years
past the practice has been almost com
pletely discontinued, and is now be-
ing revived, because for the past sew
eral years the late crop fruit has sold
at a fairly high price.
While the planting schedule for to-
matoes remains the same as last year,
the present season is fully three
weeks behind the 1889 temperature
records, according to local weather,
Mr.. James R. Stewart, the tempera-
ture here on April 9th last year was
85 degrees, this year on the same
date minimum of 81 degrees was
reached, with heavy frost and ice for
The backwardness of the season is
also attested by the condition of the
crop, which is only this
week freely poisoning. Last year

RESIDENT OF EXMORE
DIES in AUTOMOBILE

Mr.. Obed Scott Chandler, for years
resident at Exmore, but for the past
several months, living at Nassawadox,
died suddenly in front of the Harold
Barulsen Service Station, Keller, a.
bout 6 o'clock P. M. Thursday night
of last week, after he had come to
Keller searching for a doctor when he
was stricken with heart attack at
Keller Fair Grounds. He was IS
years of age.
According to Mr.. Barulsen, Mr..
Chandler drove up in his car, asked
that physician be summoned and
it seemed that he had barely made
the request when he slumped over in
his car dead.
