alton Service of the United States
Department of Agriculture in the
group farm planning phase of the

zionist, for the purpose of discuss
ing the completion of their farm
plans including crop rotations, COW
er crops and pastures according to
soil types, drainage, erosion con-
troll, woodland management, wild
life protection and other features
comprising the entire farm plan
for conservation farming to main
tain soil fertility.
Keen Interest Being Shown
In addition to Mr.. Gruwell, other
members of this farm planning
group include Alfred C. Dill, Law
renee E. FARRELL, Virgil R. Frazier
John Remley, Charles w. Bostic
and Ernest F. Killen, and this was
the third meeting of this group Of
farmers since this plan started
early this spring. These farmers
are showing keen interest in the
program of the Soil Conservation
Service, and arrangements are un
derway for the forming of othel
groups of farmers in Kent county
whereby additional farm plans
may be prepared to include the
various conservation features il
this agricultural program.
Many Applications Received
! Aside from these farmers whc
are cooperating in these farm
planning groups, there are hun
dreds of other farmers in the coun
ty who have made applications fol
assistance in conservation farm
ing, thereby indicating the rapid,
increasing interest which the Sol
Conservation Service through tn,
Soil Conservation District has ere
ated among farmers, bankers, bus
inessmen and the general publ,
throughout the United States
Conservation calls for intelligen
utilization of the land resources
and their maintenance for profit
able future production, and embod
les such practices as placing th
land in good physical condition b.
selecting the crop rotation bes
adapted to the land, proper use 0
lime and fertilizer and soil-build
ing crops, drainage, contour an,
strip crop farming, terracing
planting trees and grass, and prac
ticing other conservation measure
to save the top soil which is tn
productive part of the land. TIL
complete farm plan takes int
consideration the physical charac
teristics of the farm including sol
types, fertility, erosion and degrees
of slope, and it shows which field
by strip cropping, contour plant
ing and terracing, and drainag
can be used for most profitabl
crop production, and which field
should be maintained in pasture
hay or woodland. Farmers i
Kent county who are reuesting tn
Soil Conservation Service for com
plete farm plans will have this in
formation regarding the adapta
ton of this program in the bes
utilization of their land.

Brothers Aid Finazzo
In Prep for Doub|e-B

Johnny Ffnazzo, who fights Bee
Bee Washington in the feature To-
rounder at Turner's Arena Tuesday
night, is one boxer who doesn't
have to worry about getting SPAR
ring partners during his training
grind.
Finazzo is the youngest of seven
Baltimore brothers who make up
the largest single family of boxers
in ring history. Just now three
other fighting Finazsos are active
with the gloves-Eddie, Sam and
Vic-and they train together with
Johnny for all the family's bouts.
It's no surprise that Johnny has
adopted Fritzie Zivic as his model
and ring idol. Fritzie, like Johnny,
was the youngest in his family, yet
he became the only Zivic to win q
championship.
Johnny has similar ambition
and hopes to keep it in motion by
whipping Washington Tuesday
night. They waged a terrific 10
round slug party here three weeks
ago, and while the verdict was a
draw, each fighter naturally thought
he had won.
The bout shares attention with
the appearance Of Frank Sweeney
and Joe Cannon on the same card.
The popular local youngsters packed
the house on recent appearances
here.

Maryland's hopes of upsetting vir-
ginia In basket ball appear to be
vested in its high-scoring forward,
Jack Flynn, who is the only Old

the Terp ring team has high hopes
Of salvaging part Of the twin-bill in
its return match with North Caro-
line Pref1ight's sluggers.
A win for Coach Paddy Kane's
larrupers would be sweet revenge for
last weeks 7-3 lacing at Chapel Hill,

4aged an old-fashioned duel. Pre-
flights narrow margin in several
bouts gives Maryland the idea 1t can

Blair s Scoring Girls

at Greenbelt, Rockville and Be-
thesda High Schools are faced with
a tough problem next week. The
three are to meet Coach Edith
McCulloch's Blair sextet, one of
the finest girls teams ever devel-
oped in this area.
Problem is that opposing coaches
never know which Blair star to
guard-because the team has four
of them. They alternate in taking
scoring honors.
Lois Chaplin was top scorer In
four victories, Joan Cox took over
the assignment for two wins, then
yielded the starring role to Vir-
ginia Miller, who carried on for
pair Of triumphs. Latest ace Is
Joan Evans.
Joan racked up 81 points yester-
day as Blair defeated Gaithersburg

League? Playing for ONCE Of stra-
tegic Services, the 6-foot-5 pivot has
been averaging more than 10 points

outplay at least three men in every
game.
In the Transcontinental and West
ern Airlines affair tomorrow night
at 8, Glamack probably viii be
forced to contend with four and even
1--WE opponents under the blackboard,
since TWAS sliding zone defense
often winds up with its entire team
trying to retrieve enemy shots. So
Glamack is due much punishment If
OSS is to win its remaining games
with TWA, Senate and Naval Re-
search.
TWA is big and rugged and has
dangerous scoring threats In Bill
Pearce, Chuck Kaul and Bill Rea.
Last time the Airmen met OSS the
latter barely won, 1910. Tomorrow's

particularly since last nights 60-44
