Cecil Cannery Crops
Need Rain

Mr.. F. s. Silver, Chairman Of the
Cecil County Gamers, advises that
our local canneries opened this year
earlier than usual due to early ma
turity of crops caused by hot wea-
Their and lack of rain.

Liddell, who is continuing his faith
er's business, and The Silver Canning
Co., was increased 20% to meet ma
tional food demands. Unfortunately
the w. M. Cameron & Son plant, at
Nottingham, could not operate be-
cause Mr.. George Cameron, who ran
the plant, was drafted.
AS result of the loyalty of work
ers in the community, the assistance
Of the VINO Employment Office at
Elkton and the cooperation of local
war industries and the Naval Train
ing Station at cambridge, in releas-
ing key workers and the strenuous
efforts of the Gamers themselves In
contracting old workers and recruit
ing new ones, the local plants are
blest with perhaps the best working
crews they have ever had. This is a
matter in which the whole commune
ty may take pride as this is war work
of primary Importance.
Despite all the efforts of farmers,
Gamers and workers, the crop, es-
pecially sweet corn, is seriously
threatened by the long continued
heat and drought, and il rain-a
good soaking rain-does not come
this week, the production from later
paintings will be seriously reduced
or, indeed, may be entirely lost.
To date crop yields have been
curtailed 20-35 % and injury is fast
approaching the 500 mark. How
ever, we here in Cecil County have
so far faired better than sections
in western Maryland, where some
Gamers faced with complete fail.
ure are closing this week, and the
Eastern Shore, where early yields
ran as low as one ton per acre and

CAMBRIDGE PLAYERS PRESENT
"SEE MY LAWYER"

Laying rifles aside and making a
bee line to No. Thousand-Man The
alter at Aberdeen Proving Grounds,
August IA, Aberdeen soldiers saw
an amateur cast of sailors and a
WAVE from the U. s. Naval Training
Station at cambridge, Maryland, in
"See My Lawyer" hilarious three
act Broadway comedy.
AS it is played by these cambridge
actors, action in the riotous tale of a
group of yaung lawyers seeking eli
ents seems like pocket edition of
George Abbott production, with a
serviceman's setting.
Due to the fact that it received a
tremendous ovation from 200 Off
GERS, sailors and WAVES when it
was first presented at cambridge,
the cambridge Theater Guild has
scheduled to present the comedy for
the soldiers and WACS at Aberdeen.
Some of the best actors available
on the station have been selected to
play in the roles of this side-split-
ting production. It's no easy job,
what with sailors being transferred
to sea duty and casting difficulties.
Carrying a crew of IA, the cast
is headlined by Barney Bro, who ap-
peared in MY Sister Eileen" in New
York a few seasons ago, and who
is now stationed at cambridge.

Purnell, who appeared with the

drama under the renowned Stanis-
lawsky.

ESSENTIAL FARM WORKERS
RETAINED

Commencing the manner in which
have been given consideration by
the Selective Service Boards, p. G.
Turner, President of the Farm Blu
reau and Chairman of the Maryland
Farm Labor Committee, in a letter
to Governor O'Conor declared:
1.-The present critical farm labor
shortage is caused by labor flocking
to high paid war industries and not
to the application of the draft in
Maryland"
Referring to the laudatory letter
sent Governor O'Conor by General
Hershey, National Director of Selec-
tive Service, on the way the admins
tration of the Selective Service Act
has been handled in Maryland, Mr.
Turner paid tribute to the work of
Colonel Henry c. Stanwood, chosen
by Governor O'Conor for appoint
ment as State Director of Selective
Service.
AS a result of meetings between
his Committee and the Selective Ser
vice head in the State, he declared,
the State Labor Committee and its
County Labor Committees have
been recognized by State Selective
Service Headquarters as investiga-
tors and advisors to the County
Draft Boards. The result of this ar
rangement, Mr.. Turner said. is that
a larger percentage of bona-fide la
Dor has been retained on the farms
in Maryland than is the case in many
other States.

CONSIDER WHEAT ACREAGE
FOR FALL SEEDING CAREFULLY

With the War Food Administra-
ton asking for an increase of 26
percent in the acreage of wheat
seeded for harvest in 1914 over the
indicated acreage for harvest this
year, and with restrictions on acre
age that farmers can seed removed,
Maryland growers are urged by DR..
T. B. Symons, director of the Univer-
sity of Maryland extension service
to give more than usual considera-
ton to planning their wheat acre
age.
The aim, he points out, is to con-
tribute the maximum amount in the
war production effort. According to
DR.. w. B. Kemp, head of the agrono-
my department, he states Maryland
wheat generally produce s m o r e
pounds of total digestible nutrients
per acre than any other small grain.
For that reason, he says, even as a
livestock feed, an increased acreage
would be justified. He points out
also that wheat straw for bedding
has become so scarce that much of
it last winter sold on the farms at
$40 or more ton.
A balanced labor distribution and
a ground cover through the winter
to check erosion require relatively
heavy acreage of fall-seeded grain
in Maryland, DR.. Kemp states, Under
restricted conditions on a small acre
age in this state, he says, barley out
yields wheat, but that acreage has
been far exceeded during, the last
few years.

1914, 657 MORE
REvERSIONs
THAN EXPECTED
Total of $4,95s, 5O4 Returned to
States Treasury-FIVE YEAR
TOTAL $685., 1872

Reyersions to the State Treasury
for the fiscal year ending June ~,
1s43 were $S74,657.56 over the ex-
pected amount, Governor o'Conor
announced, following a complete
tabulation of returns from the var
ious departments.
These reversions from the various
departments, he declared, are In ex-
cess of the 25 percent of the years
budgetary allotments which normally
would be returned because OF the
fact that the fiscal year was shorten
ed by three months. The excess
amount is largely the result OF an
appeal by Governor O'Conor in the
closing weeks of the fiscal year for
all the departments to economic
as much as possible and to avoid any
unnecessary expenditures OF the re-
naming balances.
Total reversions for the year were
$4,953,5O4.10, the Governor made
known, out of total General Fund
appropriations for 1943 of $23,2S2,-
10000. OF this amount, however, he
pointed out, $6,967,022.83 allotted
to the State Department of Educa-
ton had to be paid in its entirety
before June 80, so that 1t was not
possible to revert one-quarter be-
cause of the shortened year. This
left a net of $16,316,386.17 of Gen
eral Fund Appropriations of which
one-uuarter, or $4,078, 846.54, could
be reclaimed because of the shorten
ed year.
The largest single item in this ex-
cess of reversions, which the GOV
ernor termed a "windfall", was
$273,267.17 turned back by the De-
partment of Education from the
School Teachers Equalization Fund
The total payments for the entire
year to the various Counties who
participated in this Fund were made
before June 80, he said, but several
unusual and unexpected factors
made return of this large amount
possible.
In the first year of the O'Conol
Administration, 1889, there were re-
versions of $371,280.66 For the
fiscal year 1910, they jumped to
$S79,O72.5O. In 1941 they went tc

AS a result of the surplus built up
mainly through reversions, in the
previous years of his Administration
Governor O'Conor pointed out, he
was able (a) to set aside fund OF
100000 for Postwar CONSTRUCTION

ployees by more than $1,35O,000 (c)
