A lengthy session of the Dover
Board of Education was held Thurs
day evening. at which plans wsre dis
cussed for the future of Dover's

required more money to run the

rate must be raised or automobiles as
sessed, as was ordered by the board
of the assessors when he made his as
sessment some weeks back. While
the board has the right under an act
of the last Delaware legislature to
borrow up to $50, 900 for the erec-
tion of a new high school, they did
not deem it advisable at this time
and instead have about decided to
build an addition to the school of

Sweet Potato Diseases
DR.. Manns tells of the work done
in inv estigating the diseases of the
sweet potato. The report in part fol-
lows:
"A number Of storage men have
remodeled the ventilation systems in
their houses with splendid results.
following suggestions given by the
department.
''Some of the more alert storage
men realize the natural ventilation
cannot always be relied upon. Mice
have been found to be an active factor
in spreading soft rot. A poison form
ula has been given to storage men
which works with complete success.
THE cause of the Pit or Pox is
still unsolved. We are able to du-
plicate the disease in green houses,
bot thus far we have failed to isolate
the organism. Lime greatly hastens
the disease. Excess Of acidity re-
duces or retards the disease.
"There is a strong demand for re-
sistant varieties of tomatoes and cab
bage against the FusariUm or wilt
diseases. The Department has Sc
cured from Professor Orton of College
Park, Maryland, FIVE resistant strains
of tomato. These have been planted
on sick land on the farm of Woody
Case at FELTON,. DR.. Jones of Wis
consin has sent US six resistant var
ieties of cabbage and the Bureau CT
Plant industry has sent US one resis-
tant variey which has been tried out
with success in Maryland. These are
being planted on sick land on the farm
Of John Dean. Newark, Del We are
expecting very practical results from
work with resistant selections.

GOOD ROADS BOND ISSUE
DEFEATED.

The election which was held
last Tuesday resulted in the de-
feat of the good roads propo-
sition by a very small majority,
the property valuation carrying
by a large majority.
We do not concede this to be
the will of the voters of this
parish, as there were quite
"a large number of spoiled ballots
at this election, and the majority
of these votes were in favor of
the bond issue, showing that the
good roads should have carried.
However, the result of this cleo
ton showed such a small ma
jority against that it is our hon
est belief when this proposition
is brought before the voters again
it will carry overwhelmingly, and
as for US that time cannot come
too soon, for if there is anything
this parish needs worse than
roads it is good roads. The
question arises: why haven't we
got them?

LOUISIANA'S OPPORTUNITY
IN DRAFTING A NEW
CONSTITUTION.

The people of Louisiana want
to develop their important re-
sources of soil, Of minerals, Of
forests and of navigable water
ways, and the people of New Or
leans want to develop commerce
the Valley way" So they have
called a constitutional convention
for the purpose of adopting a
modern code of fundamental law
with which to replace the present
lengthy and inelastic constitution
which has had to be patched up
and amended over and over
again during the last few years.
New Orleans is now construct
ing a complete system of coordi-
native river-rail-ocean terminal
an warehouse facilities, an d
plans to open a great industrial
navigation canal through the city
to connect the Mississippi river
with an arm of the Gulf in the
rear. A million dollars is soon to
be spent on a modern vocational
trade school. A splendid system
of modern sewerage, drainage
and pure water supply has just
about been completed. The en-
tire city is now being rat-proofed
as a permanent. safeguard against
a recurrence of bubonic plague.
Reclamation Of the fertile but
wet aIluvial lands all around New
Orleans is making progress and
many orange groves and farms
now stand where marshes stood
before.
1t is q uite natural therefore
that the people of New Orleans
and Louisiana should not be con-
tent to longer live under a consti-
tuition which, because Of a re-
strictive character, checks their
development.
Louisiana possesses great natu-
raj wealth and New Orleans holds
a strategic position commercially.
A sane, sound and liberal consti-
tuition under which to work and
develop would undoubtedly help
State and City in many ways.
Louisiana has in this constitu-
tional convention a singular OPP
portunity to show how success
fully democratic unit of govern
ment may deal effectively with
a rather remarkable situation.
Properly drafted, the new con-
stitutiOn, framed to meet t h e
needs of the new life opening be-
uisiana, might we'll serve
shodel for other common
this.
