GumbOrO Swamp
Project Nears
Completion

In great measure the Gumboro
Swamp has finally been brought
under the discipline of man. Dredg-
ing along the Pocomoke River in
Sussex County will be completed
within the next few months, ac-
cording to the county Soil Conser-
walton District.
This is really the first progress
report on the project which has
been carried out over the past
three years with little fanfare, con-
sidering the manifold benefits it
will bring to the farmers. The Po-
: comoke rises in the .GumborO
Swamp and roams over the Della
ware and Maryland countryside
growing from a little brook at it's
source to wide, navigShle chan
mel miles before it empties into the
Chesapeake Bay.
( There is still dredging to be car
ried out along some of the tribu-
taries of the river, but the figures
released show that county farmers
have accomplished more in the past
three years than was completed by
their forbears in the previous 100.
With farmers of three Maryland
counties, the men from Sussex are
well along on the job, one of the
largest drainage projects east of
the Mississippi.
Benefits Cited
x When the dredging is completed
work will be started on rehabilita-
tion and improvement Of farm
drainage systems. Then, according
to .. S. Department of Agriculture
specialists, the farmers will receive
such benefits as greater crop yields
and more variety in crops, as well
as being given the opportunity for
more mechanization, the applica-
ton Of fertilizer and lime, and the
greater use of sprays and dust for
truck crops.
Talk of draining the POcomOke
dates as far back as 1910 when the
Maryland Legislature approved a
lottery to get the funds for the
work. After only $1,000 of the au-
thorized $4,000 was used, how
ever, dredging was given up. Until
. this latest effort was started in
Maryland in 1899, every succeed
ing attempt st drainage died be-
/ fore much progress was made.
In contrast, since the work was
F. started in Sussex on July %, 1947,
workers have dredged 1886 feet
OF S32,071 cubic yards from the
river
+. AS it stands now the lower sec
ton, which extends from the state
/ line to the Gumboro- Selbyville
Road, has been completed, as has
the middle section, which cOnsti-
tutes the main Pocomoke stretch
ing from the Gumboro-S elbyville
Road to the junction Of the Cow
, house Ditch and the upper POGO
smoke. Nest of the upper part has
been completed also, including the
Savannah Prong, one Of the tribu-
taries.
Work On North, Prong
Work is now progressing on the
North Prong and is expected to be
completed within the next few
I months. Gum Branch. was cleaned
out by the Civilian Conservation
I, Corps more than 10 years ago, and
that must be cleaned again this
year.
The part Of Sussex in this drain
age program dates back to Febru-
airy, 1914, and the creation Of the
Sussex County Soil Conservation
District. The district supervisors
together with q. S. Soil Conserva-
ton personnel, conducted meetings
with the farmers in the Pocomoke
River Watershed and succeeded in

have built up another we'll bal
anced team from their never
ending source of material. Coach
Don Stockum and his two assist
ants, Dean White and Handy
Wolfe, all former MuSkie stars,
have come up with clicking
combination built around seven
lettermen. These are end Bill
Little, tackle Harold Stackhouse,
guard Bob Lake and backs Dick
Park, Jack Bradley, Bob Atkin-
son and Jim Ballantine. Last
year the Muskies finished in
second place, while in l948, they
tied New Lex for the champion
ship when Caldwell knocked
NJ & M out of the lead on the
final day of the season. Ballan-
tine is an excellent kicker and
punter, specializing in points af-
ter touchdowns while quarter
back Larry Miller tosses most of
the passes, having thrown three
touchdown heaves so far in as
many games. The running and
scoring threats are Atkinson and
Bradley with four touchdowns
each.
NEW CONCORD was downed by
the surprising Glouster Tomcats
1914 in the seasons opener, but
the Muskies came back to trip
Crooksville 28-12 and last week
dropped M & M from the un-
beaten ranks 1913. Caldwell
hasn't measured the MuSkies
since they eked out close 7-6
win in 1916. The two teams
battled to scoreless tie in 1947,
New Concord won 20-6 in 1948,
and last year the Muskies over
powered the Redskins 26-14.
GAMES LAST WEEK, in addi-
ton to Roseville's 1913 win
over Caldwell found Dresden
rolling up the highest score of
the young season by drubbing
Crooksville sos as Shroyer and
JamiSon each tailed three touch
downs. Philo broke a 1913 dead
lock with Glouster in the fourth
quarter to win 26-l3 and take
undisputed lead in the league.
Five players shared the scoring
for the Electrics. New Lex Pan
theirs won their first game of the
year by routing GAINESVILLE re-
serves 40-14 with Wilmington
getting three touchdowns. New
Concord moved back into the
thick of the league race by snap
ping McConnelsville's victory
string 1913 in the final game of
the week.
AMONG THE BETTER tackles
we noticed in Fridays game
were those by Dale Gardner,
Fred Anderson, Andy Glidden,
Bill Christopher, Bob Carabella,
Ronald Caldwell and AL Chris
topher. Fred Anderson also re-
covered a Roseville tumble and
intercepted one of the Rambler
passes.
BELPRE'S FOOTBALL team
suffered 1912 loss to Chaun-
cey Dover last Friday, but the
big noise of the game was half
back Hubert Bobo who scored
six touchdowns on runs of 80,
rs, 81, 35, %, and 81 yards. Just
for good measure, he passed for
a seventh score and booted four
conversions. He has IA points
in three games.
