Fruit Growers Hear
OF Post War Plans

Better grading, packing, and pack
aging of fruits, more efficient pro-
duction, replacement planting and
soil building were among the post
war plans suggested to fruit growers
who attended the 47th annual meet
ing of the Maryland State Horticul-
tural Society, held recently in Ha-
gerstown. Included also in the list
of plans, were clearing of debts or
longtime loans, building of re-
serves, more by-products research,
and better handling and training of
orchard labor to encourage a perma-
nent orchard labor supply.
Using tabulated figures Of produc-
ton costs Of Maryland orchardists,
DR.. A. L. Schrader of the Univer-
sity of Maryland showed the close
relationship between production per
acre and percentage of high-grade
fruit as they affected profit or loss.
He also showed growers the hidden
costs that deceive them when they
figure their profits.
DR.. r. II. DANES Of the New Jer-
sey Agricultural Experiment Station
told growers about experiments in
which night or early morning dust
ing of fruits had proved better than
day busting. He described some
new fungicides that have not yet
been released for general grower
use.
Among the resolutions adopted at
the meeting were the following:
l. The growers requested estab-
lishment of a field laboratory in
Western Maryland for research and
general field work in horticulture
and entomology.
2. A request was made for
more prisoner of war labor camps.
3. The careful consideration or
manpoWer by Selective Service
officials was asked in leaving ex-
perienced key men on farms to
handle inexperienced labor in crop
production.
VIM. T. Delaplaine, editor of the
Frederick Post" and owner of sew
eral orchards, was elected to the
executive committee. All other
officers were reelected.

organizations are cooperating TO the

try, all organizations supplying
electric light and power have been
ordered by the WPB to supervise

airy /, and it will be their RESPONSE
bility to report attractions Of the
order. Penalties for nen-compli-
ance are severe, one provision being
that the WPB may direct discontin-
uance of electric service to any Gus
toner who willfully violates the
order.

Country parties used to be quite
the vogue and often city youngsters
would make arrangements to holo
a party at some friendly farm house
Maybe it was only bingo, clap in

Anyway we had a gorgeous time
even if we did not get in until some
time towards morning.
Then do you remember the re-
freshmentS we used to get? We
know you do.
If you were raised in the country
you will remember how much in
terest was attached to the first sleigh
to venture out. Each community
usually had its beau brummel to
deport himself in this way.
Upsets while sleigh riding were
taken as matter of fact and all
in spirit of fun And how the
horse, with his string of bells,
would perk up as if enjoying the
proceedings too. 1t was usually
thought horse travelled better and
with more vim and energy with
a nice string of bells around its neck
and another string around its
middle.

HORSE AND BUGGY DAYS
By THE OLD LAMPLIGHTER
A BOY AND HIS SLED

A BOY AND HIS SLED
A boy and his sled-have you ever seen
Any one with more pleasure keenl
A patch of snow however small
A little hill and that is all
He needs to make the whole wide world
The happiest place-with stars unfurled-
Along with dog and boy, say
Is lad with sled on winters day
Now if you see him sliding down
Somewhere within or out the town,
Remember when you were a boy
A sled was much your pride and Jolly.
He tears his clothes, yes, scuffs his shoes,
But so did you, oh goodness knowsl--
Along with dog and boy, say
Is lad with sled on a winters day.
So when you're driving foot your horn,
He's going down as sure as you're bornl
Forgetting danger, tries the pace
To beat the others in the race.
Don't be too quick your bell" to ring
Methinks you did the selfsame thing
Along with a dog and boy say,
Is lad with sled on a winters day.
And when he finally does turn in
You need not ask him where he's been
His blood's a-tingle-ing with health
In life the greatest kind of wealth.
Forget that he has ripped his clothes,
Has lost his cap-cheeks like a rose
Along with dog and boy, say,
Is lad with a sled on winters day.

75o winners purse before a crowd of
46,715 at Jamaica.
Three world marks and two track
records for wagering were set at this
little racing plant, which seats
about $4,000.
The s4,349, 1886 total wagering con-
stituted a world standard for a
seven card race, eclipising the S4,-
ISL ,612 set here week ago. The
days handle boosted the 15-day
meetings total to s46, ,729, 1854 for a
world record daily average of $3,-
1923 for a meeting with seven
races daily. The daily double pool
of S25l ,682 also was universal rec
ord, while the $7601l0 bet on the
fourth event was single-race track
record.
The other track mark and also
a State high was the s448. 1896 wag-
cred across the board on Mrs. Eliz-
abeth Graham's entry of Lord Bos-
well and Star Pilot.
Under a steady ride by Eric
Guerin, who kept the son of Sickle
close up all the way, Chief Barker
took command from the early pace
setter, Sunshine Stables Buzfuz. as
the field of 10 3-year-olds turned
for home. and hit the wire three
quarters of length on top in l :58 H
for the mile and three -sixteenths
Star View Stables outsider, Petrol
Point, passed the firing Buzfuz in
the stretch to take second money, a
head in front of the early leader.
Second choice in the betting, Chief
Barker returned s7.80 for each 81
win ticket. Petrol Point was $15.4
for place and Buzfuz $50 for show
The betting favorite, Sonny Whit
ney's Jeep, never untracked and
wound up ninth.
In the earlier racing on the card
Mrs. j. Freedman's Fire Warden won
his sixth straight race, taking the
third heat-a class ID" handicap
while Elizabeth Graham's Lord Bos-
well came home on top in the Or
chard Hills purse for 2-year -olds

FORT WORTH, Tex, Oct. 20
Texas Christian triumphed, 1912,
over Texas Ags today, staving off
three drives to the 5-yard line in a
finish that left crowd of $4,000
limp.
1t was a repetition of history but
In new setting.
Last year T. C u. beat the Aggies
at College Station when the Ags
fumbled 10 times and lost the ball
on nine of those occasions. Today
the fumbles were fewer, but they
were just as tragic. Twice they cost
the cadets touchdowns as the Ags
came back in the last half to out
play the Frogs thoroughly.
Statistically the Aggies held a
wide edge. They rolled up 13 first
downs and made 254 yards rushing
and passing compared to six first
downs and 1877 yards on the ground
and in the air for the Frogs.
