200 FARMERS
in ATTENDANCE
AT MEETINGS
County Potato Growers Attend
Sessions At Snow Hill And
POcOmOke City
DIR. r. A. JEHLE WARNS
AGAINST POTATO DISEASE

Approximately two hundred Wor-
cester County potato growers attend
ed meetings at Snow Hill and POGO
moke Monday and Tuesday. At that
time Mr.. A. E. Mercker of the u. S.
Dept. of Agriculture, gave the out
look for potato acreage and prices
based on intentions to plant in diff
ferent parts of the country. The price
predicted for Maryland averaged a.
bout $1.4O to $3.50 per barrel accord
ing to present outlook. This is due
largely to the fact that Alabama,
New Jersey and California show in
creased acreages the coming year.
The late freeze in Florida will also
retard shipment of Florida potatoes
about month. This will help the
old stock to move off, but will prob
ably depress early, prices when the
Florida crop moves.
Mr.. Mercker also stated that the
outlook was not SO good for straw
berries, cantaloupes and cucumbers.
The canning crops market, including
tomatoes, beans, and peas, has recov-
cred somewhat and the outlook is
fair. ~
The price on sweet potatoes the
coming season will not be so good, due
to increased paintings in the south
east.
DR.. r. A. Jehle, Plant Pathologist,
warned against the new potato dis
ease which is causing heavy loss in
many sections of the country, known
as the bacterial ring rot. Little con-
troll is known about this diseases, as
yet, but DR.. Jehle urged the local
growers to be sure to buy certified
seed for late planting from the best
available sources, rather than the use
,of selected seed.
Growers should make every effort
to purchase seed free from this or
ganism. Fortunately, the disease does
not carry over in the soil, but can be
transmitted in cutting from one tuber
to the twenty-five following tubers.
Extensive studies are being made at
the present time to control this dis
ease by Plant Psychologists and other
potato authorities.

LOCAL CACERS
MEET DEFEATS
ON THURSDAY
Guards Fall Victims To Baptist
Team Of Salisbury; Tex
acOs Succumb To Gulls
BOTH TEAMS LACK
FULL PLAYING STRENGTH

The first double defeat of the
season took place last Thursday night
when the Guard and TeXaco basket
ball teams bowed to the Salisbury
Baptist and Ocean City Sea Gulls re-
spectively.
However, neither of the home quin-
tets were at full strength and it is
believed that had the locals the bene-
fit of their full squads, the outcome
of the games would have been re-
versed.
In the opening Texaco-Sea Gull
game, with the score knotted at SIS
all and ten seconds remaining to play,
the Gull center cut loose with what
was apparently to be long pass
from the back court; the ball took a
bee line for the basket and swished
through for the winning tally. 1t
was the longest shot ever made since
basketball was installed on the local
courts.

of John Blaine Schoofield and. Tom
Miller, merely went through the mo-
tions against Baptist. The loss stop
ped the Guards winning streak at five
straight and dropped them from the
48 point average per game. The Sol
diers rallied in the third quarter and
came within six points of tieing the
count but weakened in the closing
minutes of play to be on the short
end of the score 1929.
Last Thursday night clearly demon
strated what was said in these col
umns some weeks, ago, Gin no other
sport does one player or thing make
such a difference as in a basketball
team."' The Texacos look like diff
ferent team without Allen as do the
Guards without Tom Miller. Defen-

by better understanding between Prot

proceeded to, illustrate the. point by
citing numerous instances in history

seriousi results which, in many. cases,
led to. persecution of one class by the

Immediately following his address,
he very willingly proceeded to answer
questions submitted to him by men,

"Chirps''@
from the
Democrats Pen

Well, Sir, when one begins to feel
the weight of years, and the accom-
panying infirmities of mind and body,
one sort of resents any illusions
thereto: one is sensitive to the OBJ
servations concerning ones senility,
and is apt to make strong assertions
to prove the ravages of age have left
one untouched and still possessed OF
faculties to a degree that well might
be envied by the Boosting youth.
Now, take my case, for instance.
Whenever some sympathizing soul
gently informs me I am a little deaf
in my left ear, why, I turn deaf ear
to all such insinuation, because don't
like to listen to such. But, I must
confess that a recent little incident
made me almost decide that I'd have
to listen, whether wanted to or not.
Not long ago, I was visiting at the
home of friend who was aware OF
my habit of taking little snooze af-
ter partaking of light lunch in the
middle of the day. So, I was kindly
shown to a most attractive room and
told to enjoy just as long a nap as
cared to take.
There was one thing my friend
didn't know-that I could not sleep
to the tune of ticking clock. How
ever, did not know what to do with
the one that made it's presence in the
room very forcibly known, so
thought for once I'd grin and bear it,
and, with the aid of magazine I had
carried to the room, could soon pick
a story which would aid me in drift
ing off into the "Land of Nod"
But, try as could, I couldn't WOO
Morpheus to my arms, and, after
standing it as long as I could I de-
cided to put that clock where it
couldn't be heard. I got up, opened
the top drawer of the bureau on
which the time-piece stood, placed the
clock therein, covered it up the best
way possible, closed the drawer, and
lay down once more to get my nap.
Believe it or not, that tick was in
nowise diminished. That piece of
mechanism was determined to get in
its work just as usual, and it defied
the prison cell into which I had
thrown it, went on oscillating loud
and Justify, and, again, I was far a.
way from dreamland. -
began to think up some other way
Of silencing that clocks tongue: l
again got up, opened clothes closet
door, put the pesky thing on a top
shelf, showed it as far back as I
could, closed the door, and went once
more to seek my interrupted siesta.
But no sleep, the music still contin-
ued it's minor chords, and was get
ting farther and farther away from
the sand man.
I got up again, took that animal out
of the closet, wrapped it up in my

nothing more delicious than a Sc
lection of foods which harmonic

gether.
For the combination pictured
lamb chops were chosen. Slices
of bacon and whole tomatoes ac-
company the chops. This forms
the basis of dainty and diStinc-
tive, yet satisfying meal, and may
be used for either luncheon or
dinner party. Dreamed potatoes
might be served on this menu with
endive, lettuce or watercress salad
hot rolls and jelly, and ic cream
for dessert.
Lamb chops are among the IA
vOrite meat cuts for special Occa-
sionS. Since all portions of lamb
are tender. there is a wide selec-
ton of chops to choose from, all
of them tender enough to be cook
ed by broiling. The ones shown
here are lOin chops.
How To BroiI Lamb Chops
To boil lamb chops, place them
on a rack in a preheated brOiler
oven. Have the regulator set at
high" Allow a sufficient dis
lance between the chops and the
source of the heat so that when
the surface of the meat is nicely
Drowned, it will be cooked half
way through. This means that
with the regulator set for broil,
there should be a distance of about
three inches between top of chops

Place the bacon slices and tOma-

the lamb chops during the last

Turn the bacon so that it will. be
evenly cooked.
Other Kinds of Lamb Chops
All lamb chops are cooked best
by broiling in exactly the same
way as lOin chops. Here are other
lamb chops which also are good
for either luncheon or dinner
menus.
The most substantial of lamb
chops, to satisfy hearty appetites
are those which are cut across the
double loin. These are called
English lamb chops. The bones
are removed from this cut and the
flank ends are skewered to make
a compact bonelesss chop.
The rib chops contain part of
