PROGRAM SEEKS INCREASE IN
VEGETABLES FOR CANNING

A program to expand production
of tomatoes for canning SO per cent
has been announced by Secretary OF
Agriculture, Claude R. Wickard, ac-
cording to word received by Herman
A. Hunter, specialist in canning
crops for the University of Maryland
extension service.
This increase is being sought,
Secretary Wickard states, to meet
probable demands for canned toma-
toes under the Lend-Lease Act for
distribution by the American Red
Cross, as well as for school lunch
es, relief and other purposes.
The need for immediate action to
secure the necessary acreage to
produce an extra 100000 cases
canned tomatoes is emphasized, as
planning must be made during the
next few weeks in order to insure
the required supply. Much smaller
quantities of peas, corn and snap
beans may also be purchased from
time to time, it is stated by the Sec
rotary, but no advanced purchases
at this time are contemplated.
To make it possible for Gamers
to take immediate steps to secure
the increase in tomato acreage, the
Federal Surplus Commodities Cor
poration proposes to ask Gamers to
submit offers at once to deliver can
ned tomatoes after the new pack has
been completed. In order to insure
the greater supply of tomatoes nee
essary, the FSCC, in considering
bids, will make allowance for in
creases of from $2.75 to $500 per
ton over 1910 contract prices to
growers.
1t Us expected that the price in
crease will be applicable to entire
contracted production of all grow
ers who cooperate in furnishing the
increased quantities desired and
who, if requested, increase acreage
or fertilization so far as reasonable
and practical.
Growers who participate in this
program will not incur any deduc-
tons from their AAA payments be-
cause of increases in acreage of
these vegetables for canning.
The grades of canned vegetables
contemplated to be bought are
Grades B and C, so as not to absorb
too large proportion of any single
grade. Federal inspection as to
grade will be required.

HoNEYMooNHRs RECOVER
LOST MONEY

The Havre de Grace Ledger tells
the following story of cloud with
silver lining:
Mr.. and Mrs. Walter Moffett, of
Brooklyn, New York, who were on
their honeymoon on Monday will al
ways remember their visit to the
Conowingo dam, where they inspect
ed the plant while motoring to Wash
ington, d. G. With number of 9TH
er visitors, Mr.. and Mrs. Moffet,
who were married earlier in the day,
had been shown through section of
the power plant, and left to con-
tinue their trip south.
Just after they had Departed in
their automobile, a stranger walked
into the Office of Mr.. Paul M. Lee
fever, superintendent, and handed
him purse which had been picked
up near the entrance to the plant.
Mr.. Lefever investigated and found
the pocketbook contained $50 in
cash, check for IS and the name
of the bride, who was employed by
the telephone company in New York
City. Mr.. Lefever Immediately noti-
fed the Conowingo sub-station of
the Maryland State Police, and a
radio message was sent out to stop
the car bearing the license number
shown on the registration card.
AS the machine approached Bel
Air, the young honeymooners were
halted and told of their loss and the
subsequent find.
They hurried back to the power
plant where Mr.. Lefever was wait
ing for them to hand over their
money.
Mr.. and Mrs. Moffet thanked Mr..
Lefever for his kindness and in
quired the name of the finder, that
they might write him a letter of ap-
probation. Mr.. Lefever said the
man refused to give his name or adj
dress, stating it mattered not to him
except he was happy to have the
money returned to the owner.

CANNING CROP ACREAGE

County Agent Miller has received
word that, due to the Lease-Lend
Program, efforts are being made to
increase the acreage of certain can
ming crops. Under this provision
the following will be applicable for
1871:
!. No changes in the 1941 vege-
table allotment for individual farms
or counties will be made at this time
2. Any acreage of tomatoes or
snap beans grown for canning will
not be counted against the vegetable
allotment or against the total de-
pleting allotment established for the
farm.
8. Any acreage of sweet corn for
canning and peas for canning will
not be counted against the total de-
plotting allotment for the farm.
Producers should guard against
expanding their acreage of these
Vegetables without having definite
contracts with Gamers for any in
creased acreage they may wish to
grow.

FISH FRY RELEASED

Approximately 25O,000,000 yell
low perch are being released for the
Conservation Department in the
public waters of Maryland this
week by the authorities of the Ches-
apeake Biological Laboratory. Every
river and major branch thereof will
receive hundreds of thousands of
these immature fish produced from
more than 0O,0O0,OO0 eggs collect
ed and Matched by the Laboratory
Yellow perch constitute an in
creasingly important commercial
and sports fishery of Maryland. The
species, known to scientists as Perca
flavescens, thrives and is escepially
abundant in many of the areas in the
upper slightly braekish waters of the
State. The Conservation Department
is now planting fry in all areas,
whether productive or not, that
prove chemically, physically, and
biologically fit, in the expectation
that the producing areas may be
extended Surveys are being made to
determine the fitness of all areas
before paintings are carried out.
Perch Matching operations are
carried on at two points in the State,
at Severn Run and on the Chester
River. A spawn-taking and hatchery
operation crew of ten men is en-
ployed under the direction of DR..
r. v. Truitt, Director, Chesapeake
Biological Laboratory.
Spawn is taken after natural de-
position and placed in special screen
ed boxes which are anchored in
currnts to effect agitation, oxidation,
and development. This method of
Matching has been highly efficient
this year due to the abundance of
yellow perch brood stock and the
absence of damaging storms.
Young perch are hauled in ten
gallon cans of water from the CEN
trail hatcheries to the points of re-
lease, whether in Worcester, st.
Mary's, or Cecil County, and arrive
In good condition. Before the fry
are released the temperatures of
the stream and the water in the cans
are made the same, thus avoiding a
high mortality. Fish planted this
year grow sufficiently in two years
to meet legal requirements, though
their life span is much longer.
Upwards of 2,S12,500 perch fry
were released in Cecil County during
the week as follows: North East
River $4,000, Elk River $4,000,
Bohemia River $4,000, Sassafras
River 937,500.

COMPANY n NEWS FROM
CAMP MEADE

This week could be called appro-
priately Improvement Week fol
Company e. The heretofore plain
wooden barracks have undergone 9
series of transformation due to the
efforts of many carpenters and
painters. The change is remarkable
The barracks now are attractive
cream colored buildings, all windows
have been covered with copper
screens and screen doors have been
placed in the doors.
The boys of the company have
been doing their share of the work
in the improvement program
Stumps have been removed, the
ground leveled and a system Of
board-walks has been laid through
out the company area. Outstanding
among their work is rustic fence
which has been put up along the
road bordering the company
grounds.
Saturday and Sunday, May II
and 10, have been designated by
Division Headquarters as stay at
Home Weekend. It is the wish OF
Division to have as many friends
and relatives as possible visit the
post during the above mentioned
period. Most Of the members OF
Company E have been journeying
home ON week-ends and for that
reason there has been a limited
number of visitors in camp. 1t is
felt that the many friends and rela-

are anxious, or at least curious, to
know just how army life compares
with that at home. So plan to visit
Fort Meade and inspect the post,
particularly that Of Company e, on
the above dates.
