New Varieties
Out-Y Yield CobbIers

Eastern Shore potato growers can
asily reduce their costs OF production
nd improve potato quality by plant
lg any one Of several newer va
ieties, in the opinion Of r. A. Jehle,
tate Plant Pathologist.
DR.. JehIe has been conducting tests
t Pocomokc in cooperation with the
!. S. Department OF Agriculture, and
reports that Garrett County pro
uced seed Of the Marygold variety
ut-yielded homegrown Irish Cobbler
eed by 149 bushels per acre and
Iaine-grown Irish Cobbler seed by
n bushels per acre. The yields were
espectively 397, 248, and 223 bushels
er acre OF prime potatoes.
This is the sixth consecutive year
l which Marygold has yielded more
han any other variety in the tests"
tates the pathologist. at has led by
ields varying from so to 150 bushels.
)ther kinds outyielding Irish Cobbler
5ere Katahdin, Sebago, Pontiac and
wo new seedlings"
Dr. Jehle points out that although
he flesh Of the Marygold potato has
yellow color, studies in Washington
nd Baltimore stores revealed that
5 per cent Of the people who puI-
hased it would be willing to. buy
aore if they could get them. The po-
alto is smooth round tuber with
hallow purple eyes. 1t is especially
seful in home gardens because it
uberizes very early.
Only a small amount of seed is now
vailable, but Dr.. Jehle hopes that
eed growers Will soon be producing
t in larger quantities. Seed of other
.igh-yielding varieties such as the
iatahdin, Sebago, and Pontiac is
low available in large quantities.
,hese produce smoother tubels than
he Irish Cobbler according to the re-
earch worker. Several new seedlings
lave been produced and will be in
luded in next years tests.

Outfielder Willard Marshall, off form after a lengthy army hitch. Outfielder Sid Gordon, ditto. In center there was the ailing John- ny Butcher. As for the pitchers, Monty Kennedy was a wild fresh- man and the second flight was not half so competent as this years freshmen-Jansen, Ayres and com- pany.
 The main difference in the pitching this year has been due to Cooper be- hind the plate and the sudden emerg- ence of an outfe1d crew that can gath CT in those flies. However, Buddy

SAYS so IN PAPERS

SAYS so IN PAPERS
 It's true he lost that one over four years ago, when he spotted Jake LaMotta = terror of the middIeweights- Is pounds and came out on the short end of a questionable decision. It's true too that he fought LaMotta five times in all and won four of them. And he captured the middleWeight title only a few months ago. Still, he must be slipping. It says so in the papers.
 Take last year, for example. Ray went to the post 16 times in 1946. He scored II knockouts, four in the sec ond round, one in the third, two in the fourth, one in the fifth, two in the sixth and one in the tenth.
 End ROUND TOO LATE
 The ones he knocked out in the sec ond clearly should have been knocked out in the first. The ones he stopped in the third and fourth should never have gone more than two. As for the guy who went 10-Artie Levine, a rough middleweight-why is Ray fighting middleweights and giving away only 10 or IS pounds?
 Last time out he went to bat with Ceorgie Abrams in the Gard en. Hadn't Marcel Cerdan, the new wonderman of the middIeweights, beaten Abrams few, months ear- Her? All Robinson did was beat him too.
 Every time Joe Louis fights I read that he has been slipping for years. No Robinson is getting into the same league. They have slipped so far they are now just about the two best fight CTS their divisions have seen in years, perhaps ever.
 THOSE MARVELLOUS GIANTS
 The marvel of the baseball season to date has been the New York Giants. Last year a cellar outfit, this year a pennant contender-what made the diff ference? There is only one new face
