Middi etoWn Man Announces That he

Frederick Brady of Middletown
announced last week that he would
enter the contest for the Democratic
nomination for governor in the COM
ing campaign. His name has been
mentioned from time to time for
several weeks, but while his friends
were urging his candidacy, Mr..
Brady had very little to say regard
ing it. Mr.. Brdy's friends in the
upper part of the State and particu-
larly in the lower part of New Cas-
tie county, believe he will make
formidable candidate for the nomi-
nation. and that he will make a
splendid fight for the Office if cleo
ted at the State convention. As has
been stated, his candidacy is an
other illustration of "the business
man in politics, for while he has
always taken lively interest in
party affairs he has given most of
his time to his business interestes,
which are many. Mr.. Brady is a
director Of the Peoples Bank at
Middletown, a member of the Mid

of the Odessa Loan Association al

ALFALFA GROWING IN DELAWARE
Suggestions for Sowing Alfalfa as sent
Out by Delaware Experiment Stetion

Suggestions for Sowing Alfalfa as sent
Out by Delaware Experiment Stetion
The work of Delaware Expert
ment Station the past year has de-
monstrated that alfalfa can be
grown successfully in every section
of the state, providing certain cul-
tural methods are followed. Last
summer more than fifty farmers
began alfalfa culture under the
direction of the Experiment Station
and in most cases the results were
so gratifying that the grower is
planning to increase his acreage of
that crop. In view of the general
interest manifested in alfalfa cul-
ture at this times the AgronOumy
department of Delaware Experiment
Station gives the following hints
to the prospective alfalfa grower.
Select the richest and best drained
land on the farm for alfalfa. Avoid
land where water TENDS to stand dur
ing the winter and spring months.
If the land is carrying no crop at
present, plOw at once. Wheat or
oats stubble ground may be disked.
After potatoes or other hoed crop is
removed, the ground should be
pIowed or disked. Harrow the land
after every ram, or once a week,
until the middle of August. The
soil should then be firm with fine
earth mulch of two or three inches
in depth.
About 10 days before seeding time
should be applied at the rate of one
ton of prepared lime or tons of
ground limestone (unburned) per
acre. Harrow lime in thoroughly.
Just before seeding use at least 600
pounds per acre of fertilizer of a
2-8-6 mixture. Or, if home-mixed
goods are used, apply 500 pounds per
acre of mixture of 400 pounds of
acid phosphate and 100 pounds muri-
ate of potash. The latter mixture
is preferred on land where hoed
crops have been removed. Soil from
an old alfalfa field should now be
carefully distributed over the
field. Two or three hundred
pounds of earth per acre is suf-
ficient. To facilitate better dis
tribution the inoculated soil should
be mixed with an equal quantity of
other soil in order to give more bulk.
Harrow in the inoculated soil at
once. Soil for incubation may be
secured from the Experiment Sta
tion. Another method of inocula-
tion is by means of cultures which
may be secured from the Bureau of
Plant Industry Department of Agri-
culture, Washington, D. C. The
cultures, together with directions
for use, are sent free upon request.
Sow the alfalfa about the 18th or
2Oth of August, Be sure that there
is plenty of moisture in the soil an
inch below the surface at time of
seeding. Sow 20 pounds of seed
per acre, 10 pounds each way. Har-
row in lightly. If the land is rather
dry, roll.
If the above directions are care
fully followed, there will be little
difficulty in getting a stand of al
falfa. The Department of Agron-
omy of Delaware Station will cheer
fully answer any questions relative
to methods of culture for this valua-
BILE legUme.

DISEASES OF POTATOES
The Fusarium Wilt and Black Leg of
Potatoes Described

The Department of Plant Pathol-
ogy is making a study of the prev
slence of Fusarium. Wilt and other
diseases of the potato crop in this
State. There are three diseases,
viz. (l) Fusarium Wilt. caued by
the fungus of dry rot, ~ Black Leg,
a bacterial disease, and (3) Rhizoc-
tonia or ROsette, fungus trouble,
which are more or less prevalent
throughout the State and are caus-
ing considerable loss. All three of
these diseases are readily prevent
able by proper selection and treat
ment of seed tubers. The loss
caused by these diseases will aver
age somewhere between and Is per
cent of the crop. This loss might
easily have been turned into profit
There are a number of careful po-
tato growers in the state. Their
remarks are, l have been very sue
cessful with potatoes. They in
variably turn these marginal losses
into profits.
How Much Are Your Losses?
The object of this press notice is
to get you to examine your fields.
Now is the time to ascertain your
loss. Count an area and note the per
cent of dead and yelIowing plants.

HI Al H
Doctors Rather Than Those
of Medicine are Needed
Mere Now.

I'VE need more doctors of public
health than mere doctors Of medicine,
says DR.. F. b. Dresslar in a bulletin:
The duty of the state in medical in
spection of schools, Just issued by
the United States Burear OF Educa-
ton. DR.. Dresslar pleads earnestly
for the kind OF medical inspection that
seeks to promote health rather than
that which hunts for i'll health. Our
system of paying doctors TO do some
thing for us when We are sick ought
to be largely discarded for the Chin
csc system of paying them to keep
US from getting sick.
DR.. DressIar justifies the states in
PREVENTION in the health Of its citi-
bens on broad grounds Of public pol
lev. He feels that the community has
as much right to demand good health
in its children as it has to demand
that they attend school. as much right
to preserve the community against
the contagion of disease and bodily
neglect as against the contagion of
Ignorance. The chief asset of any
state is physical stamina, guided by
wholesome. p,oraI ideals, and broad
minded intellectual power, and Dr.
oresslar contends that medical in
spection and health supervision are
Indispensable agencies for conserving
this asset.
In answer to the question: Has
medical inspection as now organized
proved useful? Dr. ,Dresslar shows
conclusiveIy that medical inspection
has called attention in a stratlins
way to the danger of school condi-
lions in transmitting disease; it has
already lessened actual illness and
consequently secured better school
attendance; and best OF all. medical
inspection in. the hands Of carefully
trained men with the right spirit has
proved to be an educational agent Of
great value. by stimulating parents
to give more attention 70 food. cloth
ing. sleeping rooms and general home
sanitation, and by disseminating bet
ter ideals of hygienic living
1t is in this increased knowledge
by the people as a whole concerning
the PERSONAL care of health that Dr.
Dresslar finds the greatest ultimate
good of medical inspection He note
that great numbers OF our people are

ton regarding health and disease.
since many of them constantly attri=
butte to divine Providence deaths
from diseases directly due to filth
Our chief duty lies in removing the
causes which contribute to physical
=nsoundness and disease. As long as
we herd our children in schools where
they must breathe impure air, bend
over insanitary school desks, work a;
books when they need physical exer-
else, just so long shall we be paying
for our own errors"
DR.. DressIar concludes that we need
health officers whose chief delight is
in finding and developing beautiful
cases of physical perfection rather
than in finding some obscure and rare
disease; health officers whose phil
osophy is based on the gospel Of ply

purity and the godliness of clean liv-
