REHOBOTH BEACH and STATE LANDS.

The town commissioners of Rehoboth
Beach have passed an ordinance prOhib-
iting the passing of teams and wagons
over cement and brick. walks. A viola
ton of the ordinance is sufficient evil
dence for the imposing of fine Of $500.
The resort is taking on new life, now
that the season for opening Is close at
hand. and everything is on the move.
The Village Improvement Association,
one of the clubs belonging to the
Women s State Federation. has donated
500 for the rebuilding of the pavilion
at the foot of Rehoboth Avenue which
was destroyed by a wind storm several
weeks ago. Several of the citizens Of
the town contributed literally toward
the new pavilion, work upon which will
be started and rapidly pushed to com
pletiOn. A fOOtway has been made across
the upper end of Lake Gerar and the
wood cleared and the plot of land con-
verCed in what might be termed park
way. For the past few days surveyors
have been busily engaged in running
the lines for the State between the life
saving station and Indian River Inlet,
thence as far south as the State line.
When the lines are established and a
plot is made the same will be put up for
sale. When the sale takes place it is
believed that several of the farmers in
that section will avail themselves of the
opportunity to get some excellent marsh
land from which they viii be able to get
an abundance Of hay and upon which
they may place numerous muskrat traps.
During the muskrat season hundreds of
pelts are procured from the marshes in
that section by persons who own lands.
and some of the land owners devote
nearly all Of their time to this business
and that of fishing and gathering hay.
Some of them have started the cattle
raising business, because they are able
to pasture them on these marshes most
of the year, and it is found to be pro-
fitable business for those who have thus
far engaged in it.

HORTICULTURALISTS TO MEET.

The joint summer meeting Of the
Maryland Delaware Horticultural Socie-
ties will be held at Berlin, Maryland,
July 3lst. The Societies will be enter
tanned by J. G. Harrison & Sons, the
noted nursery firm of that place. The
meeting promises to be of unusual i'm
portance and interest, inasmuch as this
firm has enormous paintings Of nursey
stock, covering over $500 acres,
and also over 1000 acres in orchards
planted in and around Berlin.
1t will be the aim of the firm to
transport visitors over their plantations,
explaining to them the manner in which
they raise trees and handle nursery stock.
Visitors will also be conducted to or
chards which this season will be bearing
luscious peaches that will be ripe at
that time. This will offer an unusual
opp0rtunity for growers to observe how
perfect fruit can be grown on the
Peninsula by the employment of up-tO-
date methods of spraying and culture.
This firm, in cooperation with the
school of horticulture of the Maryland
Agricultural College. is conducting a
series of experiments and demOnstra-
tions in the spraying Of peaches and IN
the fertilization of orchards, which will
be available for visitors to observe at
the summer meeting.
The growers of the Peninsula as well
as members of the Horticultural Socie-
ties of all the adjoining States will be
invited to attend this meeting. The
idea that emanates a summer meeting
is that practical demonstrations shall
be conducted for the benefit of the
growers in attendance, and it will be
the aim of the societies and J. G. Harri-
son & Sons to conduct pruning dem
onstrations and other lines of practical
work.
The firm of J. G. Harrison & Sons
are noted for their hospitality and it is
believed that this will afford a splendid
outing as we'll as a practical trip for
those who are interested in horticulture.
Plan now to attend the summer meet
ing of the Maryland and Delaware
Horticultural Societies.

GOVERNMENT WORK
AGAINST HOG CHOLERA

Under a special appropriation Of S75-
600 made by Congress for demonstrate
( ing the best method of preventing and
eradieating hog cholera. the United
States Department of Agriculture has
undertaken practical experiments in
combating this disease. The appropria-
tion becomes available July l, and work
will begin first in Dallas County, Iowa,
and will be taken up later in Indiana,
and in one or two other States. In Iowa
the work will be done in cooperation
with the State veterinarian and the Iowa
State College.
A few years ago the Burean of Ami
nal Industry Of the Department of Agri-
culture, after years of experimentation,
developed a serum which has been dem
! onstrated by repeated tests to be very
effective in preventing hog cholera. In
many States this serum has been pre-
pared and distributed to farmers with
the result that large sums of money have
been saved to the farmers, but thus far
no syst tematic effort has been made to
eradicate hog cholera. In the work
which is now begun the control and
eradication of the disease will be the
main object, the serum being used in
connection with the necessary quarantine
and educational measures.
In the work in Dallas County, Iowa.
representatives of the State College and
of the Bureau Of Animal Industry will
make a survey of the county, estimating
as closely as possible the losses from hog
cholera during previous years, and secur-
ing the names and addresses of hog
owners. Through lectures and dem
Onstrations at farmers meetings and by
personal interviews they will also ex-
plain to the farmers the object and ma
ture of the work. The State veteri-
marian will issue and enforce such re-
strictive regulations as may be deemed
necessary. after conference with Federal
officials, to prevent the spread of the
disease. The Bureau of Animal Industy
will prepare an apple serum and will
undertake to control each outbreak of
hog cholera existing in the county at the
time the work begins, and also such sub
sequent outbreaks as may arise during
the year. The serum treatment is pre-
ventive rather than curative, and will be
administered to hogs on infected farms
and on neighbOring farms with view to
checking and preventing the spread Of
the infection.
Hog cholera has for many years been
a scourge of the hog raising industry,
causing heavier direct losses than any
other animal disease in this country.
The losses for last year are estimated
at 800, 600. 600. In the face of a short
supply and high prices of meat it is be-
coming imperative that something should
be done to check the ravages of this dis
ease. Armed with an effective preven-
tive treatment. the department of Agri-
culture hopes by means Of these expert
ments TO demonstrate a method which
can ater be applied on a large scale
throughout the infected regions. so as to
control and eventually to eradicate hog
cholera and thus stop the heavy losses
and help to increase the country's meat
supply

BERRY FACTORY HELPS GEORGETOWN

Merchants Of Georgetown report that
business for the past month has been
better than it has for several months,
and some of them state that their re-
ceipts have been greater then any since
they have been in business. They at
tribute the increase in trade to the
Georgetown Preserve Company which
has been in operation there since the
opening Of the berry season, and which
has spent hundreds of dollars for berries
and labor. Colonel John G. Townsend
of Selbyville, " no operated the factory
this year, has closed down on account
of a lack Of fruit to pack. Hundreds of
barrels of berries have been packed this
season which viii be shipped to firms
engaged in the business of manufactur-
ing juices for soda fountains Some
children of the town were successful in
making from S1.00 to $500 per day cap
ping the fruit while some of the women
have made during the season as high as
fifty dollars which means that the mer-
chants Of the town are bound to get
some of it for goods of various kinds.
Realizing what an advantage such an
establishment is to the town, several Of
the men, it is understood, have con-
sented to contribute towards the con-
struction of a factory of some kind to
be operated during the entire year. which
will give employment to all of the women
and men who will work in it.
