ware. Costs of this project have
been materially reduced, however,
because the Soil Conservation Dis
trict of Sussex County and the Fed
eral Soil Conservation Service
have made considerable assistance
available without cost to the local
group. In addition these two agen-
cies are making equipment avail
able for exactly what it costs to
operate.
While work has now been start
ed on the biggest part of the job at
the lower end, local farmers are
doing great deal to help them
selves get good drainage and better
crops on other parts of the system.
A local group of farmers is oper-
ating walking dredge on the mid
die section of the Pocomoke Riv-
er near the junction of Cow House
Ditch and the Upper Pocomoke.
Near Loves Cross Roads, Alden P.
Short, of Georgetown, has made a
plan for his farm and is using dis
trict equipment to help put this
plan into effect. A large number of
other farmers from the Pocomoke
watershed have already signed ap
plicatiOns with the district to get
free assistance to help them plan
their own farms as Mr.. Short has
already done. Through the dis
trict they will get complete infor-
nation on what soils they have,
how these soils may be used to best
advantage, what crop rotations
can be used to improve their farm,
how farm drainage can be accom-
plished most efficiently and cheap
ly, how their woods can be man
aged to yield the greatest returns
and many other details which fit
into the preparation of a complete
plan for each individual farm.
j. Otis West, of Millsboro, is the
ecretary-treasurer of the POGO
moke River Drainage Corporation
and he is also a supervisor of the
Soil Conservation District. He al
so has a plan for his farm near
Millsboro and intends to prepare
plans for his other farms which
are in the Pocomoke River water
shed. r. w. Lingo of Loves Cross

Musicians Please Valley Students

''He sure does do his stuff good, don't he?"
 That opinion, voiced by a grade school student at last Thursdays P-TA-sponsored stage show and movie, pretty well sums up the audience attitude toward the program presented by musicians from the Aleutian Conservatory of Music.
 The half-hour program of danceable tunes played in comb ination and as horn solos had the full house of students at the mornings show clamoring for more. Trumpet and trombone numbers by Barnell and Wen dall Williamson were tops in student approval.
 The musicians, all from Keith Capper's Aleutian Conservatory of Music, presented two shows on Thursday afternoon. They were the guests of Carl She'll ing, school superintendent, while in Palmer.
 Although net proceeds have not yet been totalled, a P-TA spokesman said audiences at all shows except the morning one, was disappointingly small. Stu dents filled the theatre to capa- city for the II o'clock program.

was to counterfeit Communist
propaganda stressing food short

the American and British zones.
One charge. made in the Soviet
controlled German newspapers
was that the United States was
taking huge PREPARATIONS out Of
Germany and delivering food
only to countries which had dol

SOviets Have Own Woes
At the same time, reports from
the Soviet zone Of Germany indj-

DROUGHT CUTS DOWN
SOME n. C.. CROPS

Raleigh.-A drought which has
lasted for nearly a month in many
sections of North Carolina has
damaged some truck crops and
has delayed farm operations in
general, the State Department of
Agriculture reported.
An Agriculture Department Of
ficial said that effect of the pro-
longed dry spell had been felt
most severely by early-maturing
truck crops, including both 20
tatoes and Strawberries.
In addition, planting of tohac-
co-one of the States agriculture
al malnstays-has been delayed
by some unreasonable weather,
and although most of the cotton
and corn acreage has been plant
ed, rain is badly needed to aid
in termination.
Reports from the potato-grow-
Ing section of Northeastern North
Carolina say that unless rain is
forthcoming the States early
commercial Irish potato crop will
be reduced considerably, and the
State Department of Agriculture
reported that the dry weather has
reduced severely" the CONNER
cial strawberry yield in South
eastern counties.

MARSHALL ASKS FOR
STRONG TRADE POLICY

Washington = Secretary Of
State Marshall urged agreement
on a charter for the proposed in
ternational trade organization as
a great step toward economic
stability and the common secur-
ity."
Economic conflict and trade
wars" Marshall said, invariably
set the stage for political dis
unity"
The secretary's statement was
for the opening of world trade
week. He termed its keynote,
world trade United Nations, .
particularly appropriate for "a
time when the need for unity
among the peoples is more vital
than ever before in history"
Although the United States
took the lead in bringing about
the current international effort
at Geneva to lower trade bar
riers and agree on a final draft
for the projected world trade or
ganization, Marshall said success
would depend upon the cooper
alton of all the 18 trading ma
tons represented.
