new VARIETY OF
POTATO TO Get
NAME ON FRIDAY
"B-247" Shows Great Promise
And Will Be Duly Christened
At Rural-Urban Rotary
Meeting

While on the war front it is a COM
mon occurrence for new ships being
launched every day to receive names
at christening ceremonies, a similar
but not so common event will take
place on the farm food front on Fri
day evening at the rural-urban meet

this new variety of potato was de-
veloped the new potato will be named
the "Potomac".
This certain variety of potato has
been carried in test and demonstra-
ton plots on the DeBerry farm, north
of Oakland, for the past seven years,
and according to R. A. Jchle, potato
specialist, University of Maryland, it
'lIONo PlOlllISc VI bcIIlS d lllOSL Ndlu-
able potato for not only general grow
ers but for gardeners or small grow
ers who cannot do a thorough Job of
spraying.
The christening ceremony and
other features of the program are in
charge of the ruraI-urban committee
of the club which includes John H.
Carter, county agent; H. V. Leigh
ton, and Frank Kley.
Mr.. Carter has assisted in the ex-
perimentation work on the DeBcrry
and other farms in this area for a
number Of years, where hundreds of
varieties of tubers are being tested
for resistance to blight and other
diseases, and for yield. 1t is reported
that Potomac" shows yield of more
than 600 bushels to the acre, with
proper care, although the exact
figures are not being divulged until

Kemp, director of the Experiment
Station at College Park.
Garrett county is known among
agriculture people for its potato pro-
duction, and number of farmers here
number their potatoes in thousands
of bushels. Mr.. Carter said the potato
crop had been exceptionally good this
year in the county as we'll as corn and
all other crops with the exception of
oats.
The Potomac" is expected to help
materially in increasing potato pro-
duction for the war effort.

Troop Movement Job
For Trains Is Heavy

Taking all of Garrett county's 21,-
981 people around the world in sleep
ing cars more than % times would
be a tremendous undertaking, yet
that is actually about the size of the
troop movement job reported today by
The Pullman Company.
Since Pearl Harbor, Pullman has
carried about 100000 troops a
distance of more than Is billion pas
senger miles in its sleeping cars, the
company reports. These figures are
said to cover mass military move
ments alone, and do not include the
heavy travel of furloughed men and
others
Many of the boys from Garrett
county, like servicemen from all
parts of the country, are getting
their first Pullman rides. Most of
them are making six or seven trips by
Pullman, as the intense training pro-
gram of the armed services necessi-
tatcs that many moves or more prior
to cmbarkation for points abroad, he
said.
Pullman is now carrying more than
100000 troops every month in mass
movements, it is revealed. In addi-
ton to this heavy and steadily in
creasing military passenger burden
civilian travel itself is also at a
record breaking level.

Big Cannon Goes For
Scrap To Blast Axis
Taken Down Monday Afternoon
After Appropriate Exercises;
Weighed $50 Pounds

The scrap drive was augmented on
Monday afternoon by the addition of
exactly $50 pounds, the weight of
the court house cannon, which was
taken down by members of the Amer
lean Legion who helped to erect it
fifteen years ago.
The dismantling of the cannon was
preceded by a short program in which
the school children of both Oakland
High and Elementary schools partici-
pated in addition to the Legion post
and the Oakland Band.
Prof F. E. Rathbun, county super
intendent presided and he introduced
f. r. Jones, county chairman of the
Salvage committee, who talked brief
ly about the campaign for scarce
metals; and Delbert Davis who gave
a brief history of the cannon.
The gun was originally British
Howitzer, size 90 inches in the bore,
and was placed at Fort Monroe, Va,
as a coast artillery defense during the
first world war. 1t was shipped upon
authority from the Raritan Ordnance
Department of Metuchen, N. j., and
was received in Oakland April Is,
1928, being erected shortly afterward.
The gun was listed by the B. and
O. at $500 pounds and it cost the
Legion $71.36 in freight, exclusive of
the cost of erection.
In a guessing contest among stu
dents, Tommy Jones was first at the
High school and George Hanst was
first at the Elementary school. As
both parents were connected with the
scrap campaign both boys declined to
accept the awards which went to the
next nearest: Darwin Fike son of f.
f. Fike, Hutton, in the high school,
for guessing 6,652 pounds; and to
Kenneth Hardesty, son of David
Hardesty, Oak street, in the elemen-
tary school, for guessing 6,780
pounds. Each will get $1.00 in War
Savings Stamps.
The cannon at Crellin, which weighs
in the neighborhood of eight tons, is
scheduled to be taken down for scrap
but was still standing today.
There was no report available as
to the amount of scrap collected in
the county in the past two weeks but
Mr.. Jones said it had been consider
able
