MF with Bill Leetch

In recent conversation with
an old-time Bay angler, he
brought out a point which we
think worthy of noting.
We have often seen parties come
in with a box of nice fish, most of
which have been caught by the
boat captain. The anglers will
admit that he caught most Of
them and they are thoroughly
disguised by their own poor luck.
There Is usually q good reason
why this happens 80 often. The
secret of it lies in the equipment
used by the anglers, particularly at
this season of the year. Many
anglers go down to the bay with
their hearts full of hope but
equipped with entirely inadequate
fishing gear. They pay for boat
hire, put in hours of fruitlesS
trolling and wonder why the cap
tain gets the fish.
Maybe they have a stout bass
rod with reel holding not enough
line and incapable of handling the
weight of drail necessary to get
them down on the bottom where
the fish lie. Or they use a bay rod,
reel and line with which they have
fished for hardhead and spot with
success. but lack the lures. the
heavy sinkers, or the nylon leaders
or pork rind.
In any event, their equipment is
inadequate to get them down on
the bottom, where the captain is
taking fish, his drop line and lures
held there by a five-pound drail.-
While one does not need FIVE
pound sinkers and rods capable of
supporting them. the angler does
need a rod that will stand up to
16 ounces of lead, when nylon or
linen line is being used. and the
reel should hold not less than 200
yards. A 200 yard length of 30
pound test monel line, which costs
less than either nylon or linen,
with proper reel and a rod that
will support II ounces of lead are
even better. Just few extra dol
lars, ucually much less than The
cost of one days boat hire, will
permit you to add that proper
equipment to your store of tackle,
and then you. as well as the cap
tain will catch the fish.

Virginia Apple Raisers
Seen Facing Loss Of
Thousands This Year
By james BirchfieId
Stor Stof Correspondent

WINCHESTER, Va, Jan. IA
Virginia apple growers are losing
thousands of dollars this year, ac-
cording to observers in this i'm
portant apple-growing section.
Some of the larger apple pro-
ducers, it was stated, may lose as
much as 100000. Few producers
will manage to break even.
The Virginia situation is the
result of two conditions-the fall
ure of the Stayman crop because
of weather conditions and the
unusually large national apple
crop this season.
Staymans are Virginia's prin-
cipal fancy apple variety and
brings the best prices in the mar
kets. Rain and dry weather
cause almost universal cracking
of this variety.
Western Dumping" Charged.
Observers pointed out that the
crop last fall amounted to 1884,
000, 900 bushels, compared with
50, ,000. 900 bushels the year before.
Western growers. also are being
charged with using the Eastern
markets as . dumping ground
Lester D. Arnold. In charge OF
marketing for the apple interests
of Senator Byrd. Democrat, OF
Virginia. said some growers un-
doubtedly would take a loss this
year. He said some Of the larger
producers might loose 100000 OF
5000 900, but added that did not
mean ruin, and was to be expected
over the long term.
One grower said the West
which contains about 40 per cent
Of the Nations population and
grows about 40 per cent Of the
apples, is dumping" about half o1
its production in the East.
He said that in Baltimore a few
days ago Western apples were sell
ing for $1.70 a bushel. Freight
costs on each bushel of these
apples amounts to $1.10 he said
Color Versus Flavor.
According to Agriculture De-
partmert figures for November
LII out of 2,416 carloads OF
apples shipped from the State OF
Washington were consigned to
Eastern markets. Western apples
are larger and generally have a
better color than Eastern apples
but do not have the flavor. 1t
was said. ..
Growers here feel that the lack
Of export outlets for Virginia
apples have not materially af-
fected the market. The popula-
ton increase in this country should
more than offset this loss, it was
said.

Laboratory, said Virginia is i'm.

Education Advances
In Maryland Almost
Incredible Lane Says

BALTIMORE, Jan. 14.-Gov.
Lane gave a glowing report on
the public school situation in
Maryland last night. He called
its progress almost incredible"
In a discussion of the school
program over radio Station
WBAL. the Governor said that "in
this overall program from
January /, 1947, until July of
this year, we will have built, or
will have under construction. 12l
new schools.
And that is not all. We will
have built. or there will be under
construction, 140 additions to ex-
isting schools"
He credited raising teachers
salaries as "a most important step
in improving the caliber of the
schools.
Pay Scale Cited.
1.-THE pay scale which was estab-
lished (by the 1947 Legislature)
put Maryland among the
top three of four States. The
average pay of a teacher in Mary
land today is approximately S.
100, ="
Since 1947, he said, the States
contribution to public schools
throughout the State rose from
$500, 900 to more than SIS, ,000,-
600 or nearly 200 per cent.
Asked if he thought more money
would be needed to implement the
school program In the budget for
next year. the Governor said:
"Yes, it will be necessary to in
crease appropriations somewhat.
''' I would say that the States
share Of school costs in the new
budget will be in excess of $27.-
10000"
1850 Study to Be Teachers.
Gov. Lane said he took special
pride in accomplishments Of the
States teacher colleges.
1--WE have today an all
time record high number of STU
dents, preparing to take over the
education of the youth Of this
State" he said.
THE total enrolment this year
at the four teachers colleges is in
excess of 1850 students. Four
years ago. the total enrolment
was slightly over 500 students.
'This is in contrast to the situa-
ton whichexisted few years ago.
In 6ne county in Maryland
the teacher turnover in 1916 was
127 per cent.
"Since this new salary schedule
has been effective" he added.
hundreds have returned to teach
ing from jobs in industry. We
have been able to attract hundreds
of qualified teachers from other
States, and many young men and
women are entering the teaching
profession ="
