With the commercial apple crop
maturing at least 10 days or two
weeks earlier than normal and field
corn maturing rapidly, farmers and
fruit growers of this area said today
they probably would be faced with
an acute labor situation, as there is
every indication both harvests would

Growers said there are about 12.-
600 acres Of corn to be harvested,
and the apple crop has been esti-
mated at around 100000 bushels.
County Agent Fred Stine was en-
deavoring to have German war pris-

place as in the pre-war days, now
that the Patuxent River U. S. Naval
Base has been built, and means to
remain here, while dive bombers
zoom out of the blue sky from q
white bank of misty clouds-and
practise flying low, skimming the
trees, roofs, and stunting seeing
how close they can come to taking
chimneys off in Leonardtowr1, and
pilots wave to their sweethearts
wives, and youngsters each day
while the rest of the residents hold
their breath for fear the aircraft
will crash, into some private home
or local business establishment!
Is it any wonder that redeploy-
ment service men and prisoners of
War home from German prison
camps find it hard to not hide
under tables. or sprawl on the
ground fearing it an air raid, with
their nerves still jittery!??
Then the firing of the guns at

at the proving grounds at Dalghren,

make them jump and one has to
assure them its not an enemy at

Virginia Reports
Heavy Crop Damage
By Rains in July
Ey the Associated Press.

I
RICHMOND, Va, Aug. 13-July
weather did heavy damage to Vir-
ginia crops, the monthly report is
sued by the Virginia Cooperative
Crop Reporting Service showed yes
terday.
Until July II the moisture situa-
tion was generally satisfactory in
Eastern counties. After mid-July
frequent and heavy rains in North
eastern, East Central, Eastern and
Southeastern counties caused con-
siderable damage to crops.
Injury to the States tomato crop
was particularly heavy and in north
ern and upper central areas of the
State much grain and some hay
were damaged or ruined.
Southwestern sections received
sufficient rainfall after July Is, but
western counties continued dry un-
til the last week in July when rain
fell on all but a few scattered To-
calities.
Wet weather in Eastern Virginia
counties not only caused heavy dam
age to tomatoes, hays and grains,
but it delayed the harvesting and
cultivation of crops and permitted
grass to gain good headway in pea
nut, sweet potato, cotton and to-
bacco fields.
Corn prospects have improved,
the report said. If the expected
yield is realized it will prove the
highest of record in Virginia.
For the State as a whole, the
wheat crop is above average, but
below the unusually good crop of
1914.
The acreage of peanuts for pick
ing is estimated at 164,0OO, 4 per
cent above that harvested in 1914.
