irrigation In dry seasons. He
suggests the dams and ponds
could be financed through loans
from the county or State gov
eminent.
Artesian Water Available
In tidewater Maryland-the
southern counties and the
Eastern Shore farmers can
find abundant underground
water for irrigation X they
don't have q stream or other
surface source to draw from.
DR.. singewald said. He said
that underlying this area are
tremendous reservoirs 81 ar
teslan water which can be OBJ
tanned ct . steady yield II
farmers are willing to dig for Il.
The Mattingly committee
win discuss around Dr.. SINCE
wald's suggestions. and 50 into
the many pros and cons Of
giving farmers rights to cross
neighboring property lines to
get to water sources. A num-
Der Of meetings viii probably
be held on the subject In diff
ferent sections Of the State.
Mr.. Mattingly says the group
also win explore the cost fac
tors in irrigation--how feasible
1t Is for certain crops and how
much It's costing farmers to
develop water sources and
procure irrigation equipment.
Many holding back now ques-
ton whether It will pay for
its investment in higher crop
yields.
Operation Costs vary
Costs Of systems now in use
vary from eT00 to the thou
sands Of dollars. depending on
areas to be irrigated, source Of
water supply and other factors.
University Of Maryland re-
searchers estimate Il costs up
to IS an acre ID operate q sys-
tenn once it is Installed.
Mr.. Mattingly hopes the
committee can come up with
definite suggestions that will
make 1t possible Tor more farm
ers TO turn to irrigation.
I'VE don't doubt that there's
plenty Of water in Maryland, .
the Senator said. The ques-
ton Is how to get It."

Hurricane Threat
ToCoost Subsidies

MIAMI. Fla. Sept. 10 tR1.--
The Weather Bureau was ready
today to write on Hurricane
Carrie asa threat to the East
erp United States as the sea-
sons third tropical storm con-
tinued northward in the At
lantic Ocean.
Carrie packed winds up to
10 miles per hour around the
center but was expected to stay
on its northWard course and
the Weather Bureau said 1T
appears unlikely that this hur-
ricane will endanger the coastal
areas Of the United States"
At 5 am. (EST) the storm
center was about 875 miles
southeast Of Bermuda and
I.75O miles east Of Miami.

1880 - and pro-irrigationists
feel the stage Il finally set for
action.
Senate President Louis Gold-
stein. Democrat Of Calvert. has
taken the lead IN getting some
thing started. He called q con-
ference on farm leaders and
legislators IN Southern Mary
land during the height Of the
drought.
The upshot was the naming
Of . committee headed by Sem
ator Joseph A. Mattingly, DEM
ocrat Of st. Mary's, to draft
an irrigation program for pres
entation to the 1858 General
Assembly. take it around the
State and sell it to the farmers.
The committee win hold its
first session tomorrow at the
home Of David Hume near
Bryantown in Charles County.
Problems Face Group

The common Law doctrine
Of riparian rights is the only

pensive sources Of irrigation
water. and about . fourth Of
the ponds have failed to pro-
duce sufficient water because
they weren't large enough.
Only II farms in the Mary
land survey were irrigated
from deep wells, . more ox-
pensive water source because
Of the drilling and the neces-
sity Of q submersible pump
to get water to the surface.
Drilling Costs Vary
University researchers report
that the cost Of drilling . well
may range from So to 500 per
foot. depending on the size. In
extreme cases the farmer may
have to go Is deep as 400 feet
to hit water. but many find it
at less than half that depth.
Most Of those who have drilled
wells seem satisfied with the
results.
DR.. Joseph T, SingeWald. r..
director Of Marylands Depart
ment Of Geology. Mines and
Water Resources, says large and
sustained yields Of water for
irrigation are obtainable only
from surface waters IN vest
ern and central Maryland. He
says 81 per cent Of these waters
run to waste in the ocean dur.
ing times Of plentiful rainfall.
Dr.. Singewald has proposed
modifying the doctrine or II

has traced one more aspect OF this
remarkable true tale - the later lives
Of the survivors. and the surprising fate
of the Globe itself. This story, told here
for the first time, has been pieced
together with the principal assistance
of Joseph lndio. co-editor Of the Nam
tucket Town Crier," and two distin-
guished descendants Of Globe crewmen.
One is Ernest K. Lindley. Director
of the Washington Bureau Of News

survivor Stephen Kidder.
The other is Henry Beetle Hough.

and descendant Of William Beetle,
First Mate on the Globe.
The Globe itself made one more
whaling voyage, but in 1928 it was sold
to some men who wanted to use it as a

Last Chapter For The Globe:

freiehter and trading ship. The blood
stained old whaler seemed destined for
a quiet finish. But -.
In 1880, the Globe was making its
way along the South American coast
when il was attacked by pirates. Bat
tered and stripped Of its valuable
freight, the Globe limped into South
American port. The new owners sold
il for scrap, and the ship was hacked to
pieces.
What happened to the eight
men who survived the Globe mutiny -
and Naval Lieutenant Paulding, who
rescued two Of them from slavery?
Two Of these men went on TO gain
some contemporary fame; two died
tragically while still in their 20's; one
performed a single heroic deed and
then disappeared from sight; another
won acquittal after being tried as an
accessory to the mutiny; two settled
down to quiet lives in their native
towns, and one has disappeared with
out trace.
Here are their stories:
Young Lieutenant Hiram PaHIGise
gained quick recognition as a cou-
raeeous and resourceful officer, and
ended his naval career as a rear admiral.
He was one Of the officers responsible
for planning and designing the famous
ironclad, the Monitor.
Gilbert Smith, the boatsteerer who
rescued the Globe from the mutineers,
also had highly successful career at
sea. On his next voyage out Of Edgar
town, he was mate Of a whaleship. and
on the following voyage he was cap
tain. His reputation extended even to
France, and when that country decided
to build up whaling feet, Gilbert
