PLAY SAFE ON SEED

How about the seed corn? How about the cotton seed? How about the clover? How adout the beans aud cowpeas and pea, nuts and garden seed? These are good questions for every good farmer to ask himself right now. Select a double supply of good ears of corn for seed, cut off tips and butts and then shell when outdoor work can't be done and grade out the small grains and be ready. Then look up the cotton seed and test for germi- nation. It will pay. Ask. your county demonstration agent or your school teacher to help, but test. Then look up the garden seed supply you saved or should have saved last fall. Cooperate with your neighbors and buy garden seed in bulk. if you must buy, and don't buy the little packets. Don't forget to see about your supply of cowpeas, soy beans, peanuts, rape, the clovers, sorghums, and even the watermelon, pumpkin and canta- loupe seed. A medal should be given to every farmer who can on the first day of March declare that he has on his place and all ready for planting every ounce of seed to be used during the spring and summer. That will be one kind of preparedness and and it will mean success next October.

 nd the very best feeling exists between us, and.will at the close of this race, l.if he will treat me IS fair as l do him, for 1 certain Iy aim to run entirely on my merits. and not on the demerits of some other man. As for the r c0rdss.I made as collector of t,xes and fines and penalties, 1 am proud indeed to say that busi- ness men of.lPrescott have told me that 1 put more money into  the County Treasury than any collector ever has. l do not say this in a boasting way. 1 am )nly proud that 1 at least gave satisfaction as collector while 1 had the honor and pleasure to be your servant, for four years.
 Though. as you all know l was )ad sick so much 1 could not give he office work justice flor which

The unfortunate auto accident in
which Postmaster Robinson and Mr..
Hammond of Milford we're injured on
the State road below Smyrna, Saturday
night, has brought about the express
sion of opinion of many that the COM
ing Legislature should put into effect
a law making auto drivers throw off
their glaring headlights and SHIFT to
"dimmers" when passing autos and
other vehicles on the public road.
Postmaster Robinson's car became
ditched and turned turtle when steering
blindly by the glaTing headlights of
an approaching auto. Every car
should be equipped with DINNERS and
if State Legislation among all states
were unit on this point, car manu-
factnrers would equip their cars with
this device. In line with such legis-
lation enacted. every horse Griver
vehicle should be required to carry q
light. 1t would make driving safer
and should prevent accidents like that
of Saturday night.

spORrsMEN SHOULD ExERcIsE CAUTION.

THOSE Deiawareans who favor the recastng of the
game laws Of this State will do well IL they re-
member that the landowners and the farm-renters
important elements in the situation and that their
opinions and wishes in the matter entitled TO
pect
While those farm owners and farm-renters may not
thu that is their places they control the
land frequented by the game birds and game animals,
and, from practical point OF view. might well own
the birds and animals themselves. A simple trespass
notice, with determination OF enforcement underlying
it, creates q game sanctuary that wise sportsman
will deem 1t prudent to invade. The number Of
uespass notices which mean what they say
ing rapidly in State and the open cunning
being narrowed constantly The two chief
which have led to this first wanton abuse
lessness in the exercise OF the cunning privilege and
second. the $1l0 tax law that inflicted upon the
farmers four years for the purpose of supplying
funds for the Delaware Game Commissioners There
was widespread revolt by the farmers against that
law. BY way OF reprisal whole districts combined in
no-trespass movement against city and town gun
The feeling became intense that the Leglsla
az its last session repealed that law and left the
Game Commission without funds for the maintenance
Of the State Game Preserve in Sussex county. Oven
those things did appease fully the angry
farmers. Men who know Delaware held-sport grounds
say they never knew many farms to be posted
against trespassers have been posted this year in
New Castle. Kent and Sussex counties.
II is this information which impels us TO suggest
those who purpose recastng tho game laws that they
consult with and seek the favorable attitude Of the
farmer For after ALL it IS the farmer who has the
last word. because while the state may license man
to gum it cannot and will attempt TO license him
to respass upon private property in the exercise OF
hat cunning privilege.

Till activities OF the Federal Reserve Board are
causing comment these days, especially
among those who recall that the chief complaint and
criticism Of the. currency plan worked out by the
Aldrich commission that il provided for too much
Capitalization Of financial authority and power
The law finally passed shorn Of some OF this,
but it is evident that the Reserve Board holds that Il
possesses sufficient powers of admonon at least to
admit OF its taking a large share in directing the
general operations OF the banks which compose the
Federal Reserve system.
The British Government planned to make use OF its
treasury bills in this country to finance OF its
military purchases, and American bankers contem-
plated accepting these obligations. backed they
by large gold held for the purpose Canada
in the same If they we're regulation bills
OF exchange drawn TO cover ordinary commercial
transactions
The Reserve Board frowned upon this plan and issued
a circular warning member banks from tying up their
liquid funds in securities. The board held that
the funds OF the member banks should be kept in fluid
state the benefit OF American enterprise and that
they should be absorbed in foreign treasury bills
The obvious retort OF the member banks who
templated such action that the operations OF the
Federal Reserve Bank system in the large financial
centers have not yet been OF such character TO
demonstrate their tremendous value to enterprising
Americans and that the system-ouside OF the South
has caused very borrowers TO procure acoOmmo-
daton at any other place or at any lower rate OF
interest than they did before the law went into effect
In addition many banks. especially in the smaller COM
munities have uncomfortable percentage OF
their assets tied up in their investment in the stock
Of the REGIONAL banks from which they have
received practically benefit They probably thought,
in addition that the opinions OF the Reserve Board
have no binding authority.
On the face OF it. trading in the treasury bills OF
the British Government looked to be safe and re-
muneratlye. But the British Government promptly
ended the discussion the agitation by Withdrawing
the bills from the market though the propriey OF the
Reserve Boards action and the manner in which its
waning was issued still remain the subject OF comment
