twenty-five hundred young trees grown
in Georgia and having them carefully
treated until the coming autumn when
he intends to take a trip to the Sunny
South where he will remain over winter
and return in early spring with trees for
planting and prove that the delicious
peach known as the ''Belle of Georgia"
can be SUCCESSFULLY grown in the Little
Diamond State" that was once the lead

Scanlon expects to spend his winters

and some sensible ideas thrown in, to
gather a snug fortune to relieve the

What The LEGISLATURE
DID FOR The FARMER

The farmers certainly received good
treatment at the hands of the recent
Legislature. If the boys of Delaware
ever had an incentive to engage in the
interesting and sometimes thrilling
business Of the farm, they have it now.
Even the poultry business, increasing
IN fascination and returns where men
and women and boys and girls have the
patience to treat the birds more as be-
ings and less like worms, is recognized
by the State, which now appropriates
$500 year to be given to the poultry
keepers of the State who show best re-
suits.
Then an extra $1,000 is given by the
State to encourage corn growing. If
two ears of corn can grow where one
now grows, and if better corn can be
raised to command better price, it is as
certain as the rising of the sun that our
people will never starve. For corn fur
nishes the basic material for fifty-seven
different varieties of food and utility
products, from syrup to fusil oil.
To further the work of the State
board of Agriculture, IS, 600 is appropri-
ated, and the helpful bulletins, cor
respondence and investigations of that
bureau, together with its alterness to
prevent fatal disease may be continued.
The $500 as Delaware's share for the
high-class work of the Peninsula Horti-
cultural Society, is continued, and to
this is added the allowance by the Leg
islatures of Maryland and Virginia. The
Farmers Institute, a most helpful
Winter course of instruction and CO.
operative growth, gets another $500. I
To aonffnT1a fhn ir1r1 finr, nf Iociy.-
able home-seekers and working farm
hands, willing to pitch in and further
develop the land, the immigration Board 1
gets an annual allowance of 50, 800
The SIS, 900 appropriated to Delaware
State Fair is so given to be divided. in
turn, among the farmers who merit it
by growing fine stock and cereals, the
things that all the world now cries out
for.
Another S5, 900 is offered for the Della
ware State Live Stock Sanitary Board.
This money not only enables the officials
to proceed to eradicate disease among
horses and the domestic animals but to
healthfulness in stock. 1t is
no fun for young farmers, just starting
out, to lose several horses, cows and
hogs. He quits then and there and goes
to motoring street cars where his SlS
or SIS a week is not liable to wither up
with anthrax or cholera. This S5, 900
is given to those very young farmers,
and will purchase for them the serum
and vaccine necessary for the preven-
ton of cholera, anthrax and the other
diseases.
And last but not least comes the
arge and increased appropriations for
Delaware College.
In addition to all these allowance
made by the State, the good roads ap-
and new laws of that kind
ire of direct benefit to the farmers.
it may be said that the
Deople engaged in agriculture are shar-
ng in prosperity of the State and that
he money divided among these inter-
sts may revolutionize the production
f farm necessities and eventually double
he resources of the State.

ACTING UNDER THE
NEW GAME LAWS

A special meeting of the Board of Game
and Fish Commissioners, which was
created by the 1911 session of Legislature
with Edward C. Bradford, Jr., president;
William H. Reed, vice-president, and
H. c. Davis, secretary, was held in the
Equitable Building, Wilmington, last
week, for the purpose of laying plans to
conform to the amendments to the State
game and fish laws, passed by the recent
session of Legislature
After considerable discussion the COM
mission decided to have printed 5000
copies of blank licenses for resident gun
ners, and 500 copies each for nonresident
gunners and nonresident fishermen.
Mr.. Bradford, who is issuing the licenses,
stated that a great many of the licenses
to resident gunners were being taken
out. 1T is very gratifying the way they
manifest disposition to obey the new
laws, he said, and we have already
had applications for a great many licen-
ses."
It is not expected that there will be
much demand for the licenses for non
resident gunners and fishermen, hence
the small number to be ordered.
The commission announces that as
soon as certified copies of the new game
laws, or amendments, have been printed
.hey will be distributed throughout the
State. The commission is at present
for large tract of land in
the lower part of the State, which will be
into a State game preserve.
The commission is authorized to purchase
such land under Section 3, Chapter l62,
Laws of Delaware which gives them the
right, in the nanteQf the State to lease
or purchase land for gaApe propagation,

ScOTT'S EMULSION is not a

After Group, whooping cough,
