IT IS our opinion that the
Experiment Station in St.
Croix should be a model farm,
efficiently run, practically on
the basis of a private institu-
ton. We should see, for ex-
ample, ways to raise poultry
economically and well, and
suited to local conditions.
Our Saml farmer should see
a small farm flock suited to
his needs, under conditions.
which applied to him, but
carried on successfully at the
Station. Whatusually happens
is that the demonstrations
shown are a far cry from what
the small farmer even believes
he can carry out on his own
little place. It is not long ago
that a local livestock cooper
ative association ventured to
improve the cattle here, but
there was much loss-the pure
bred animals died Of tick fever.
Such a function can and
be taken over by the
Experiment Station. It would
have the facilities, its staff the
skill and ability, and purebred
could best be kept
there, and before long the
Of local cattle would
improve substantially. The
program begun along the
same lines with hogs, needs to
be extended so that the entire
island is touched and profit
ably affected by it.
The St. Croix Experiment
Station can serve a wonderful
purpose, but it can do il best
as a place Of demonstration.

EDITORIAL
Function OF The Experiment Station

e
BECAUSE THE Experiment Station takes such a vital
part in the life of the Island, it occupies, naturally, a public
spot, and attention is directed to it from time to time. We
have been among those who have given due praise to the
work of the Station, and offered encouragement for still fur
ther work in the future. It seems to us, however, that the Sta
ton has not yet fully come-into its own.
BECAUSE OF the peculiar economic condition of the
island, the Experiment Station must also serve a peculiar
purpose, which is quite distinct and apart from the normal
function and duty of an experiment station on the mainIand
and elsewhere, an experiment station on the mainland per-
forms the function which its name aptly implies, and con-
ducts experiments into the agricultural fields. A particular
disease ruins crops in . section of the country, farmers lose
millions OF dollars, and the local experiment station immedi-
atey begins to conduct experiments to control and eradicate
the disease. And through its extension agents the new met
hodS are carried directly to the farms. 1t dose not reqquirel
any special study to readily see that the work of the stations
depends upon the section where they are located and the
enterprises in which that section engages. In Iowa, for ex-
ample, extensive work is done nscorn, and on hogs to which
much of the corn is fed In Texas, work centerS around range
cattle, in the truck sections Of Virginia and Maryland, the
work of the station is directed to diseases Of such crops as
spinach, carrots, etc. And the same holds for Winconsin,
which is a great dairy country, the work there being on dairy
cattle.
WE HERE, while we devote much time and energy to
the growing of sugarcane, yet we have done little more than
continued to plant the same varieties from year to year, and
it has only been through the Virgin Islands Company that
new kinds were introduced. And, from all that can be seen,
we have reached the point where our cane gives the kind Of
returns to be expected under the present rainfall and other
conditions. But what of other crops, and animals, and

early in the second period, after
recovering Migala's tumble on oul
43. A Neeb to Beck pass was good
for fist down on the 25. Schem-
mer and Detzel line plunged to the
Is for another first down. Detzel
added four yards on a plunge
through center, and Gregory went
to the four on an off tackle play.
Schemmer scored around left end,
but Detzel's plunge for the extra
point failed.
Bill Belshaw marked up eight
points in the second period. Greg
ory's punt was taken by Migala on
the 50 and returned to the 81 be-
fore he was smeared by Detzel.
The touchdown came suddenly with
Belshaw racing around right end
to cross into pay dirt standing up.
Krupp's placement split the up
rights and the Redskins led, 1870.
Belshaw played heads-up football
later in the quarter when he
smeared Neeb behind the goal line
! for Il two-point safety. Mech had
taken Krupp's punt in a moment
Of indecision.
Thirteen more points were ad-
ded by the Redskins in the third
stanza. Taking over from Elmore
on our 80, Krupp went around
right end for a first down on the
As. Bclshaw went through center
to the 46, and Migala added three
yards. Belshaw's long pass to
rave Krupp was good, but Luckey
caught Dave on the II, where it
was first down. Andy Migala
scored easily on an end sweep, but
Krupp's placement was blocked.
Migala took Gregory's punt on
the 40 and returned to the so.
Krupp went through left tackle to
their as. Migala recovered his own
tumble on the % for a first down.
On a reverse, Andy added two more
yards. Steve Rosiar held on to
Krupp's pass in the end zone for
our fourth I'd, and Krupp's pass
to Jim McGee was gqood for the
extra point. 1t was 2S to 6 as the
third period ended.
Coach Willbond had been substi-
tuuting freely during the third
quarter, and rs the last period got
underway he sent in everybody but
the water boy, and maybe he was
in action too
1t was after the reserves took
over that things really started to
pop, and there were thrills aplenty.

and his teammates from Danbury
township.
Elmore's inexperienced team
proved almost equal to the Red
skins in the first quarter, but the
courageous youth tired later in the
game and were buried under the
49-6 avalanche. In their only other
grid game, the Elmore team had
lost to Fostoria st. Wendlin's, AZ
to 0.
Although the visitors were de-
cisively defeated, they were able
to score their first touchdown Of
the year. Coach Wayne Bloker
could be happy over tie perform
ances of Louis Neeb, n sophomore,
who proved an excellent passer,
and Larry Detzel, the junior who
goes places on line plunges.
Elmore's line held firm to keep
the Redskins from scoring after
Andy Migala tore As yards to make
it first down and goal to go on
the midway in the opening quar-
ter. A few seconds later, Belshaw
took Gregory's punt on the 80 and
returned five yards. Migala went
through center to the 80. On the
next play, Dave Krupp tore around
right end, behind beautiful block
ing, and was over for our initial
touchdown. His placement kick
was not good and the Redskins led
6 to at the quarter.

lived as Bill Riddle recovered af-
ter Belshaw had intercepted Neeb
pass and fumbled on the so. Two
other fumbles, both recovered by
the Redskins, placed the ball on
the 20.
The big thrill of the game came
then as Dick Blaskis raced 80 yards

best broken-field running of the
season. Belshaw's pass to Lukac
was good for the extra point.
Gene Ohm set up the final score
when he recovered an Elmore fun

REDSKINS-GEN0A
PLAY HERE THURS.

Redskin football fans will be
treated to two big games this
week, with Genoa making its
annual trip to True-Lay sta
dunn this Thursday night (Oc-
tober 2S) and the Redskins trav-
ng to Lakeside for The Big
Game next Friday, November 5.
Experience is the best teacher
thought Coach Norm Willbond as
he sent his second and third
stringers into action against Ell
more on True-Lay field Friday
night. His decision bore fruit as
the reserve players outscored the
first stringers and enabled the Red
skins to win, 40 to 6.
This Thursday evening, October
%, will see the Redskins playing
their last home game of the season
with Genoa being the opponent.
Although not great team, the
1948 Genoa edition is expected to
put up good fight tonight.
The Gig Game on Port Clinton's
schedule is coming up next Friday,
November 5, when the Redskins
travel to Biro field at Lakeside.
Coach Ihnat's Stonecrushers have
been running roughshod over their
opposition this season and are
ranked as The Team in the area.
Port Clinton can crush Lakeside's
hopes by victory November 5, but
the bets heavily favor Ray Regal

Beverley Seeks Seat
In Alexandra Council

Marshall j. Beverley, an officer
of the First National Bank of
Alexandria, today announced his
candidacy nomination to the City
Council in the Democratic primary
in April.
Mr.. Beverley lost by five votes
when he ran for council from the
5th Ward two years ago. He now
seeks election from the 4th Ward,
where he now lives.
"The time is long overdue when
the citizens of Alexandria are en-
titled to a businesslike administra-
ton of the city's affairs" he said.
THE city has more than doubled
in growth in the last 10 years and
while there might be some neces-
sity for some increase in taxes
it is my belief that there should
be 70 increase until many loose
screws in the city machinery have
been tightened up and the tax
payers money spent with an abso-
lutte minimum of loss.
1T has been estimated that the
city is losing over 100000 year
in taxes which are not collected be-
cause it is estimated that 5000 to
10000 citizens do not pay any tax
Mr.. Beverley is a lifelong resi-
dent of Alexandria. He served in
the Navy during the war and held
the rank of lieutenant commander
when released from active duty.
He is a member of Alexandria Post

Campaign Launched to Improve
Health in Montgomery Schools
First FuII-Time Head
Calls for Increase
In Nursing Stoff
By J. B. Zotmon

Under the guidance of their first
full-time school health director,
Montgomery County teachers are
learning how to spot physical and
mental illness in their students.
It's part of a comprehensive pro-
gram designed by Dr.. Harold H.
Mitchell, former New York district
health officer, to improve the health
of county school children.
Speadheading the drive are the
county's 19 public health nurses,
who are using films and Illustrated
books in conferences with teachers
and principals.
Only one obstacle stands in the
way-a shortage of nurses, DR..
Mitchell said. He estimated about
10 more nurses are needed. A re-
quest for the additional personnel
will be submitted soon to the county
commissioners, he added
Manual Prepared for Teachers.
To supplement the conferences,
DR.. Mitchell is preparing a manual
for teachers. In addition, he has
organized a staff of nine county
physicians, who have agreed to give
periodic physical examinations to all
students. ....
The first step was the distribution
to teachers of charts for each stu
dent on which are listed symptoms
by which physical or mental defects
can be recognized.
At the bottom Of each chart, the
teacher is asked to note the num-
ber of days on which a student has
been absent as a result OF colds,
upset stomach or other reasons.
For example," DR.. Mitchell ex-
planned, "the teachers are being
taught to observe when a child stays
out of school for a few days and
then returns with cotton in his ears.
Or if he holds book close to his
eyes"
If the parents cannot afford to
60 to a private physician. they will
be told how to use free medical
facilities in the community, DR..
Mitchell said.
Emphasis will be placed on chill
dren referred to the nurses by the
teachers, he asserted. Thus, diseases
will be caught in their early stages
and the spread of infection pre-
vented.
