STATE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE

The Delaware Legislature, at its recent
session, appropriated one thousand dol
lars of the public funds to the State
Board of Agriculture "to defray the ex-
penses of making an exhibition of the
agricultural products Of the State at the
Pan-Ameriean Exposition"
Space has been secured in the "Horti-
cultural Building" and arrangements
have been made with the Superintendent
at Buffalo to make this exhibit, and the
Board solicits the aid of all fruit growers
in making this display worthy of our
Diamond State. The rules of the Expo
sition require that the exhibit be contin-
uous from May to November l, and it
will be necessary to ship fresh fruits
every few days from the earliest berries
until the Fall or Winter apples are ready
to ship.
The arrangements for transportation
have not yet been completed but detailed
directions will be given later. The fruit
Will DO OAIlDlUCu III bLC Dbdlc COl6CblOL
but under the name of the grower and
diplomas will be awarded for merit.
Every grower should therefore aim to
bring his fruit to perfection. Perfect
cultivation, if necessary the immediate
application of little nitrate of soda or
other quick acting fertilizer, spraying
with arsenites and Bordeaux mixture for
tree fruits are absolute necessities. Prun-
ing the trees and thinning the fruit are
also essential. Attention to these little
matters will make surprising difference
in results. Delaware should not rest
satisfied with anything but the best.
Official shipping labels will be fur
nished upon application and full direc-
tions as to packing, route of shipment
and other details. All communications
should be addressed to Wesley Webb,
corresponding secretary, Dover, Della
ware.

COUNTY wARRArrs ROW oAsHEp


When Attorney General Ward two
weeks ago summoned the county ofic-
ials to appear before him last week
with their books and papers that related
to the Levy Court, one impression created
was that county financial business would
have to stop, and some one sent word to
the Farmers Bank, the county depository,
not to pay any more warrants. The
bank thereupon ceased paying warrants,
and this caused some comment, which
reached the ears of county officials. Then
it was learned that Mr.. Ward had made
no such order and the embargo was lifted,
SO that now the bank is cashing the
! county warrants.

DR.. L. HEIsLER BALL

It has been our privilege and
pleasure to know intimately for
several years, the present Mem
Der of Congress from Delaware,
and it is, therefore, with regret
that we have to call the attention
of our readers to the grave
charge made by the Union Re
publican paper of this state
against him. The regret is not
for DIR. Ball but for the dirty pol
itics displayed by the Union Re
publicans. DIR. Ball incurred the
serious displeasure of Mr.. J..
Edward Addicks, nearly three
years ago, and has been a marked
man ever since. This explains
the animus of the attack.
The charge against DR.. Ball
is that, -as late State Treasurer
he did not pay over to his success
sor, all of the State funds in his
possession but illegally retained
SO, $50. The facts in the case are
exactly the opposite and show
that DIR. Ball went further to be
right than any of his predeces-
sors. The salary of the Office Of
State Treasurer is 1880 per
year, which was fair compen-
sation for the work required at
the time the salary was fixed.
Since the passage of the General
Incorporation Act, the work of
the Office has more than doubled.
Even before the passage of this
act, it was the universal custom
for legislative committees in set
tleing with State Treasurers to
allow reasonable compensation
for extra work. Following this
custom the com mittee which set
tied with DR.. Ball allowed him
for extra services and clerical
assistance $3.50. But DR.. Ball
was not satisfied with this action
and would not accept the money
until the General Assembly had
passed the appropriation. In an
interview, DR.. Ball has said that
if the appropriation was not
legally made, or if there is any
doubt of it, he will repay the
same. Should he do so we have
no doubt that the next General
Assembly would right the wrong
and grant him the money which
he honestly earned and is Justly
entitled to.

GAMBLING IN M1DDIErowN

Several years ago, thanks to
the exposures made in The
TRANSCRIPT, the gambliag places
then open were closed up and for
time there was no room kept
purely as a place for poker play
ing. But for the past two years
a 'joint" has been running in
the central part of the town and
many rumors have been current
that the place was to be raided
and broken up. AS yet, how
ever, the threatened trouble has
not come. We think it about
time to thus publicly call the at
tention of the authorities to this
place. There is no more insid-
ious vice than that of poker play
ing and there are no more un-
scrupulous men than the mana
gers of "joints. )" No man is too
old, no boy is too young to be
taken into the game. And it
really seems that when a man
permits himself to fall under the
influence of the cards, he loses
all respect for himself, his fam
lily and his friends. That this
is true, is evidenced by the raid
made on a gang consisting of
two men and eight boys, last Sun
day morning who were caught
playing poker and crap. In the
ten were father and son and boys
under sixteen years of age. It
seems almost incredtaible that a
man can descend SO low that he
will in a semi-public manner like
this attempt to win the hard
earned wages os his own son.
But the raid proved that fact.
1t also proved that our authori-
ties have the means in their hands
to break up this unlawful prac-
tice. For be it understood, this
raid was not made of their own
violation, but came as the result
Of warrants charging trespass
made by the agent for the Can
merry property. And the fine
imposed was for trespass, no
mention being made Of the gam
bling. Of course we realize that
men will gamble, but surely
there is:.some way in which this
fragrant violation of the law, by
the keeping of such a joint as
has existed and still exists in the
business portion of our town.
We hope somebody will take hold
of the matter and push it to a
close.

EVENING SESSION,
A HERRING STORY

Neither shad nor herring are now as
plentiful as formerly; yet there has never
been any lack of shad fry placed in the
Pocomoke at Snow Hill, Nd, where the
State Fish Commissioner now resides.
Herring are caught in considerable guam
titles, but the present day herring suffer
from comparison with the herring that
used to be. 1t is said that at "Purnelps
mill pond" about a mile above Snow
Hill, they were SO plentiful forty years
ago that William K. Ronley, while wait
ing for his grist at the old mill that then
stood there, caught horse-car load with
little dip net, and then had to wait for
his grist. And the mill was fast grinder
and the miller active. Herring are not
nearly so plentiful now.
